Championship Predictions

If I'm counting right, I'm five of six in my playoff predictions. Say what you will, but a vote of confidence from this guy should no longer be considered a dreaded hex. Even after saying this, I can hear Kyle saying, "Please don't say I'll win. Please don't say I'll win. Please don't say I'll win." Well, Kyle, don't worry.

Here's what I wrote in my November 1st blog about Kinger's team:

Coatu- Not sure how this team was assembled. No one should have the talent Kinger has in a 12-team league. For as long as I’ve been around, I don’t think King has ever come close to smelling playoffs or any of our championships. There’s no way he doesn’t get a one or two seed in these playoffs and therefore will get a bye. Even if he gets hit with the injury bug, his bench is better than most teams. I really feel like King will have to royally screw up not to win it all this year. Can’t wait to see this all play out.

I don't want to be called Nostradamus (don't think that'll be an issue), but this foresight into the future should alleviate Kinger's soon to be apprehension when he sees me pick him as the favorite to win it all.

The match ups, to me, indicate Kinger walking away with the hardware, but Kyle has some key people in his line-up that could sway the outcome of this championship game. If Marion Barber doesn't play, Tashard Choice could have a huge day in the Cowboys last ever game in Texas Stadium. For some reason, I don't think Brandon Jacobs likes the spectating side of football and I wouldn't be sleeping too well if I were opposing linebackers. If he plays, he's going to be running people over. So, if those things play out, Brees could be huge, Bowe could be huge, and Dustin Keller has a very good match up against Seattle. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Kyle pulled this one out, I just feel that King's team is too consistent and too good to falter now. I look for rebound games from Chris Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald and I think these two players will be the difference for this championship game.

Championship Prediction:

King- 103
Bush-94

Good luck to both of you... wish I was in the spot you guys are in. Have fun on Sunday watching everything unfold.

Oh, and as for the other match up... don't have time for a write up, but I'll throw a meaningless prediction out there anyways:

Pump- 107
Nasty- 87
