Wild Card Weekend preview

Connor's Coop (7-6) vs. FlashThemTDs (7-6)

Two East-End natives. One berth to semi-finals on the line. It's the Battle of Scabtown, and much akin to the famed rap-battle between Lyckety-Splyt and B-Rabbit, the loser of this Scarberian turf-war will be forced to "walk his white ass back across Kingston Rd."  Averaging 130 points the final five weeks of the season, the (somehow) surging FlashThemTDs will hope to continue his streak of dominance going up against Connor's Coop, loser of two straight coming into the playoffs.  Though on paper GM Neve's squad seems to be the heavy favorite, his season-long scoring chart has been less predictable than a James Gandolfini cardiogram.   Can Josh Jacobs play with a fractured shoulder? Does the risk of Will Fuller's hamstring being reaggravated outweigh his explosive potential versus Denver's outside corners? With season-defining questions abound, GM Neve must forget last year's postseason managerial bungling and be ready to pivot at a moment's notice.  For GM Murray,  with no viable starters on his bench, it's pretty much 'ride-or-die.'  Ronald Jones starting in a playoff game...good God. But hey, what do I know? It's gotten him this far! This is it. Brothers, what we do in life echoes in eternity. It's win-or-go-home. Let's get weird.

John Wayne Gase (8-4-1) vs. Larissa's Team (6-7)

Our second Wild Card matchup of the week holds a special place near and dear to this writer's heart.  Who better to represent our league in the playoffs than the undeserving trade-reneger himself and the unabashed puppet régime that eliminated me from playoff contention??  With that off my chest, let's begin.  2-0 versus GMrs. Neve in the season series, GM Cardy will look to get one step closer to repeating as "champ" in 2019 this weekend.  Though Fournette and Carson stand out as rather pleasant aromas in this matchup, they're sure to be suffocated by the stench of his dirty diaper filled with WR4s, TE2s, and Indian food.  And though Josh Allen's recent success has been a fantasy revelation, Baltimore's stingy defense could very well spell the end of his current hot streak.  On the other hand, the outlook for Larissa's Team is looking pretty darned bright this week! With Marvin Jones poised for Part Deux of his bi-annual roasting of Xavier Rhodes, Courtland Sutton prepped to eat Houston's Swiss cheese secondary alive, and CMC readying a Mandingo-sized money shot for the Atlanta faithful, I not only predict a victory for GMrs. Neve, I guarantee it.  The relentless advance of the meritocracy marches on.  May the best woman win!
