Congratulations to the finalists @morvillz7z and @wheelz1200! Can anyone of you in the league share a screenshot of their teams before Thursday night football begins? This will certainly be something to follow for me who did not join the league this year hhehehe.

In any case, yes this regular season has gone very fast, however, we certainly will have another exciting post season! Will Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift produce a miracle again? Heheheheh if I am being I want to witness this.

Eli-2 Brady-0! Was he not the last draft picker? I cannot have forgotten that he has picked Justin Jefferson while the player was being ignored on the first round. I speculated that he was a very good pick, however, I did not expect that he would give much contribution to bring a fantasy team to the championship bracket after having a very bad performance last season hehe.

In any case, it appears the Chargers is more than 80% to be included in the playoff wild card round? They will play against the Patriots for this week and against the Raiders on week 18.

I gotta say I think Chicago's RT is the worst in the league.

Every time I watch them that number 68 is getting burned.

the prick literally just stopped and let the edge rusher go right around him like he thought the play was over.

Just looked him up.

This week I like Chargers to cover 4.5 against the Patriots. Chargers don't necessarily need the win to be in the playoffs, but I think they're gonna turn it on a bit to secure a W, and also its the Patriots.

A team that needs the win to a greater degree is the Broncos, who are up against the Bengals, who all but out of the playoff picture. I like the Broncos to cover a 3-point spread here, based on their need to win the game, and the fact that they've been on an incredible covering streak this year, covering 73% of the time.

Dude try being a Bears fan.  It's beyond miserable.  Leaving the game last night fans were yelling at the top of their lunch "sell the team, sell the team".  I guess that's something we've been asking of them for many many years now and we know it's not going to happen but at least ownership knows how pathetic we think they are...

But yeah that entire offensive line is just decimated.  It's a disaster and they are going to have to spend so much capital on it next year it's not even funny smh

 @southpark wanna put a few Satoshis on the game ? Just a few ..

Btw I’m 99% sure wheelz cheats he always wins my league (he wins today that’s 3 of the last 4 and typically each time the buy in starts around $100 n btc and ends up like $150+. Also in champions game this league..I’m lookin in to it ..someone who chooses to root for the giants can’t be trusted anyhow- signed jealous mf

1 for 2, oh well. Chargers did blow out the Pats, 40 to 7, what a game.

A thing I did think I'd see was the Giants crushing the Colts. Of course Eagles/Cowboys is the real game to be watching right now. And Falcons/Commanders later... Both are vying for spots in the NFC playoffs.

Well, holy shit things turn pretty quickly there. I had a lot of faith in you at least winning my league. It looked like it was inevitable. Now this league the dude you’re playing I think has the best team in league hands-down and I kind of figured that they would win at all With that receiving core that they have pretty crazy stacked in that area anyways best of luck, brother.

Yeah I can see how starting Higgins over Smith-Njigba would have been in your favor. Damn that's tough for a championship game. Its not looking good, but here's my condolences.

And of course I started an injured QB and lost because why the hell are we still playing??

The Chargers have very much covered and they are 100% to be in the wild card round! I am very much happy for this. The NFC wild card round appears to be already closed. The scores of week 18 will not change this.

On the AFC, it appears that the Dolphins is in the hunt for the last position in the wild card round. The Broncos should be the loser in their next game and the Dolphins should win their next game. Will the Chiefs play against the Broncos very seriously for this and risk an injury? Also, if the Chiefs only play softly, will this he enough to win against the Broncos?

[Hueristic]

CONGRATS MO !!!!!

It was a hard fought season!

[DireWolfM14]

Congratulations to morvillz7z for winning the championship twice in a row!  We're going to have to scrutinize the referees next year to make sure they're not on the take.

And congratulations to wheelz1200 for second place, and ChiBitCTy for taking third.  Great job, all of you.  It's been a great season, and I couldn't ask for a better group of folks to be amongst.  I can't wait to join all of you again next year.

As agree, the top three will receive a prize.

morvillz7z: 0.0126BTC
wheelz1200: 0.0054BTC
ChiBitCTy: 0.002BTC

Please send me your payment addresses, and I'll get the prizes sent out.

[morvillz7z]

Thanks ^^

GG everyone, it's been a pleasure beating/playing with you all.       Back-to-back titles feel surreal.

For a brief moment in my semi-final match against ChiBitCTy, i thought i was done. Bills DST recovered a fumble for a touchdown and B. Thomas Jr. scored his 62-yard touchdown. This all happened within a minute, resulting in a 20-point swing. Achane and Chase revived me with touchdowns of their own.

My team even though stacked on paper was a mess going into Week 17, destined to fail:

* starting QB ruled out
* Hurts' concussion which was major downgrade for AJ Brown, Kenny Pickett masterclass  https://x.com/Reflog_18/status/1873443430468333739
* Chase drawing a tough matchup against one of the best corners in football
* Tua's ruled out 40 minutes into the Chargers/Patriots game meant i could not start Dobbins, my only other option at RB. We all know Achane is useless without Tua playing.
* The Colts DST gave Drew Lock (who was coming off two pick-sixes against the Falcons) a perfect passing rating and one of the highest EPA/play in the last 25 years. -4  Lol, i mean come on...

It goes without saying that if wheelz1200 had started Higgins instead of JSN, he'd most likely win the league. With PS2 shadowing Chase, Higgins was primed for a big game, it was an easy start/sit decision imo. Higgins was never not playing (the q tag).


A win is a win, but man...lots went my way.

Man, you had one hell of a team set up. That trade that we made worked out pretty good for the both of us, but of course worked out better for you. I don’t know what I was doing, dropping Ladd. One of the dumbest moves I’ve ever made in fantasy football. But I knew before we had our matchup that you were gonna beat me. Your wide receiver trio was incredible! Good job snagging those two running backs as well from Me in that trade they came up pretty big for you.

Again, congrats to everyone for a great season. It went so fast. It’s insane. I look forward to next year and beyond.

Edit: need info where to send championship ring fyi

Well, you are treating us as your personal bitcoin ATM from which you can withdraw once every year, then it is fair to say you are not really playing with us, but instead you are just toying and beating us as you please.

But seriously, congrats on the win and congrats to wheelz and ChiBitCTy as well.

[bbc.reporter]

but instead you are just toying and beating us as you please.

Hehhehe this has made me remember this scene in Dune part 1 where Paul was toying in the fight to the death against the expert knifer killer Jamis.



In any case, yes congratulations to @morvillz7z! You are the winner for 2 years certainly is telling everyone that this is not luck. This is skill. I very much want to learn more for you.

[nutildah]

Congrats morvillz7z! A well-earned win. Interesting how both teams left players with 30+ points on the bench.

And I think someone touched on it earlier, but its crazy how the 2 teams with the most moves (57 and 59) were the first and last teams.

Changing 3-4 players every week and coming in first:



Changing 3-4 players every week and coming in last:



Seems you need at least 20 moves throughout the season to get in the top 4.
