SB Nation The FanHouse^® Leagues

A pair of upsets last week set up what looks like a dream matchup for the league’s favorites. Top seeded Urban Achievers will face Domed, the fifth seed, in the semis. The Achievers are favored by 12 points, and with Kurt Warner throwing against the Patriots week secondary, they’re a safe bet to make the championship. Unless the snowy cold conditions predicted for New England this weekend force the Cardinals to concentrate on their running game.

The sixth seeded Rejects bested number three Gift of Gab last week, and now draw the second seed FantasyFootballGuru. The Guru is favored by 10, but anything could happen.

Over in the consolation round, #10 Ramz in the Rox take on the #7 UK Rampagers. The Rox will need Brandon Jacobs to play and Roy Williams to actually play like the player Dallas traded away all their draft picks for if they expect to overcome the 16 point favored Rampagers. Never count out a team with Peyton Manning at QB though.

Low man on the totem pole, #12 Mr. Irrelevant, will look to escape that dubious title against the #8 doobs. But having Steven Jackson in your lineup this season is no guarantee…as we all know all too well.

All of this sets up what could be a weird championship week coinciding with the NFL’s last week of the regular season. So many of the top performers will be sitting, resting ahead of the real playoffs as we try and battle it out for TST fantasy infamy. Ought to make it more challenging at the very least.

Best of luck, suckas!
