Dynasty Dudes – Playoffs Week 1

Playoffs

The playoffs are upon us. 7 teams in the hunt, with one (unless Damar Hamlin dies again) lifting the trophy as league champion.

Let’s get into the matchups:

(1)WRU – Bye: No shock to anyone reading my preseason power rankings but WRU gets the 1 seed and an auto ticket to the semi finals. Am I kicking myself for trading Jamar to him on a whim because I wanted the Dak stack? Yes, yes I am. HOWEVA we are putting WRU on upset alert. Jamar and Joe will sit out once the Bengals are eliminated and I will be vindicated for making this horrible trade. Also Kyler sucks and is ruining Marv.

(2)Sneaky Ed (-250) vs (7)Escarole and Beans (+210)

Sneaky Ed is not sneaky. This team is a WAGON. Allen and Hurts combo is head and shoulders above any other QB combo in the league. The supporting cast is strong. The regular season points leader is looking for an easy round 1 win against the 7 seed who they just put the smackdown on in week 14. Poor Escarole and Beans, getting this matchup 2 times in a row. They will need a monster game from Kamara and Mixon to have a chance. One thing to keep an eye on – Allen and Hurts have some tough matchups this week against the Lions and Steelers. Even so, Sneaky Ed rolls.

(3) Titanic VII (-200) vs (6) 404 (+170)

The Titanic wouldn’t have sunk if the iceberg was hit by Titanic VII’s backfield. Saquon and Jacobs are leading the way. And that Baker Mayfield, man he just knows how to compete. Leads his guys into battle. On the other side, 404 is looking to turn around a disappointing season. Who would have thought, a playoff team being lead by Sam Darnold and Bryce Young! It will need to be a team effort, and maybe 1.1 Marv will finally have a big game when needed the most. Prediction: Some tough matchups across the board here – a shootout between Lions and Bills leads 404 to victory. No bias in this pick.

(4) Howie’s Disciples (-110) vs Action Jackson (+110)

After a debacle in 2023 The Disciples finally found their Jesus. They may need him to turn some water into wine after a few untimely injuries, but who better to give the Sermon on the Mount than Jameis! With Carr fracturing his hand, only one man can bring Howie home. On the other side, Action Jackson is going to be looking for a monster game from Lamar and Zay. If Russ can also cook, I like their chances. Prediction: Jameis, easy.
