I think my defense wins the game for me. I do like 500's team a lot but feel I built a strong defense and my offense with Rodgers and company should be able to put up enough points.

 

[Nosferatu]

I don't think either team has a top offense but one is not always needed when you have a great D.

Just looking at these teams for a while, they are very similar. I do like 500's secondary better but being neither team is real strong passing that's just not a deciding factor for me, I do like Ritz's ability to stop the run more. I got lean Ritzy by the slimmest of margins.

Ritz - 24
500 - 23

I think this is a low scoring game, good offense, great defense. I like 500's secondary, while Ritz has a great front 7. Ritz overall D is a little better I think.

Ritz 20
500 17

500 in a very close and tight game

I love how Ritzy knows Bo won't get the love, but still takes him... I don't love either offense, and think ritz's defense matches up better vs 500 offense...'''

I got ritz for the win... But only because he told me to vote against him...

 

[Mebert]

I think ritz takes it in a close one

 

[broncosmitty]

I actually like Rodgers and Bo here for the X factors. ARodg extending plays with his feet and grabbing extra first downs scrambling on broken plays decides this one for me.

 

[Nosferatu]

Congrats Ritzy

Congrats Ritzy

Thank you and great job to @Pack 500 who drafted a great team. Very tough matchup. Despite the voting I think this game would be extremely close and could have went either way. Nice job Pack .

You sure you don't want to vote for 500 to get his vote since this matchup is already decided.
