MBBRL Suicide League A vs. B Challenge

[Bandit]

Alright, so all of the playoff spots have been clinched, which is going to make the last week of the regular season rather anti-climactic. Trudem has clinched the #1 seed and a bye in the first round, but that is the only seed that has been determined. Some interesting notes. Fuzzy is 8-2 and tied for the best record in the A league but will not make the playoffs in this one as he has been eliminated by OBX. On the other side of things, Monkey is 8-2 in the challenge but only 4-6 in the actual A league. Closest competition by far was Fuzzy against OBX which Fuzzy leads by just .4 points on the season whereas the biggest differential is Trudem (most points in either league) with 1040.2 and Treff (least points in either league) with 625.3, which is just freaking crazy. Remember that there are actually four byes to be determined next week and all of the 8-2 and the 7-3 teams are alive for them.

I guess I can stop adjusting my lineup then?
Oh wait, I haven't adjusted my lineup since Seattle's bye.

Okay guys for those of you that wish the playoffs would just get here already, this is the league for you as we are through with the regular season and the biggest surprise to me is that only one matchup finished up with a 6-5 record and all the rest were at least 7-4. Here are the final regular season standings and the playoff seeds are included. If you don't know by now, the playoff seedings go by record first, then for tiebreakers it goes by points. Trudem completed an undefeated regular season and let's see if he can keep it up. There are four byes the first week of the playoffs and they will go to #1 Trudem, #2 Milk, #3 Harold, #4 Monkey. These will be the matchups for the first round of the playoffs:

#5 Lefty vs. #12 Barilko
#6 TKO vs. #11 OBX
#7 Steelers vs. #10 Foot
#8 Ram vs. #9 Joe

Just like the NFL playoffs, Trudem will get to play the worst remaining seeds next week, then Milk the next worst seed and so on. In the first part of the challenge the A league won clinching 7 playoff spots to the B leagues 5 playoff spots, yet the B league has 3 of the 4 byes and outscored the A league in the regular season, so it's pretty even. Let's see who comes out on top. The important part is that I don't have to fill out this damn chart any more this season. LOL.

Fantasy Pros had me 4th, finished reg season in 4th

I take back any and all bad things I've ever said about Fantasy Pros!
(don't think i say much bad about them)

Flashback 2

I'm going to be comparing my team to @averagejoe's team here, since we both picked at the #1 spot. Early glance, I think I have the better team so far.

Boom!

Bandit picked Femurov too in his write-up.

Boom!

Bandit picked Femurov too in his write-up.

GG... or season, Joe.

GG... or season, Joe.

If it seems like I'm gloating - I am.
This season has been disastrous for me.
I needed something to be happy.

Picked to finish 2nd to last and the guy I beat was picked to finish first.

 

[Barilko]

To be fair I do like your team better. If my risky older players stay healthy I think I can beat you.


RITZ .............................. Barilko

QB Ben Rothlisberger vs Marcus Mariota

RB LeSean McCoy vs Leonard Fournette

RB Eddie Lacy vs Paul Perkins

WR Jordy Nelson vs Julio Jones

WR Alshon Jeffrey vs DeAndre Hopkins

WR Desean Jackson vs Corey Davis

TE Delanie Walker vs Jordan Reed

Def DENVER vs CHIEFS

K Matt Bryant vs Will Lutz


Bench

WR Pierre Garcon vs Corey Coleman

RB Darren Sproles vs Doug Martin

QB Carson Palmer vs Phillip Rivers

RB James Conner vs Jamaal Williams

Def CHIEFS vs TE – Evan Engram

which basically meant it should be close
well it sure was..

 

[SteelersPride]

i was picked to be low as well

There are four byes the first week of the playoffs and they will go to #1 Trudem, #2 Milk, #3 Harold, #4 Monkey. These will be the matchups for the first round of the playoffs:

#5 Lefty (88) vs. #12 Barilko (92.3)
#6 TKO (81.4) vs. #11 OBX (116.2)
#7 Steelers (97.5) vs. #10 Foot (113.9)
#8 Ram (113.8) vs. #9 Joe (99.4)

So Ram was the only "favorite" to actually get the win in the first round. These will be your matchups in round 2:

#1 Trudem vs. #12 Barilko
#2 Milk vs. #11 OBX
#3 Harold vs. #10 Foot
#4 Monkey vs. #8 Ram

So we have 4 A leaguers and 4 B leaguers left. Let's see if Trudem can keep that undefeated record going.

 

[obxyankeefan]

Am I wrong here or are the Suicides scores higher then they have been in the past?

I had the highest score of the 8 playoff teams but still lost in B league by over 30 points.

well, maybe I'll just take back some of the things I said about them.......

I dont have the time at this moment, but if someone else does - gonna go back and see how Bandit's predictions came through.

*tabbed Mark Ingram in the 5th round as my best value pick, excellent call.
*tabbed Dion Lewis (my last non-K drafted) as my worst pick, terrible call, lol

I will say this is the first time I can ever recall in the handful of years of doing this where I actually have RB sit/start decisions to make at the end of the season.

Usually only 2 of my 4/5 drafted have remained both healthy and relevant.

I still have four active RBs so I have to make decisions too. Although Monty has been hurt alot.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

struggled in the middle with the predictions
Half right half wrong, still an amazing job putting all this shit together
