Week 1 MFFL 2014

So it begins, Here..We..Go, We have our Heading....Football is Back

GAME OF THE WEEK

Perpetual Dynasty VS ShowMeYourTDs

     The 2014 MFFL season Kicks off with a Must See Match-Up, as perennial league juggernaut Perpetual Dynasty welcomes Dr. Squeeze and his group of cop a feel players to PD Field House. Managers had this match-up circled once team rosters were announced, but the stakes soared even higher after ShowMeYourTDs acquired Drew Brees from Ertz, for what some may say a minimal cost. TDs traded for Brees without giving up any of their first 3 picks, meaning Ertz did not even receive a top 30 player for Drew Brees.......
     TDs is now led by Drew Brees, Adrian Peterson, and Antonio Brown. His confidence is sky high, as it should be. This is without a doubt his best chance to finally beat his East Division foe, Perpetual Dynasty. While PD has never put much stock into winning week 1, they feel this match-up is more important based on the all out attack by TDs to take the East Division crown. PD brings some stars to the concert as well, as Aaron Rodgers, Dez Bryant, and A.J. Green look to continue PD's proud tradition. This match-up is to close to call on paper. It features 2 of the top 3 teams with the best winning percentages in MFFL history (TDs is tied with Loco for 3rd all time). TDs looks to stake claim to the East Division, while PD tries to squash the rebellion. Do not look away from Week 1's GAME OF THE WEEK.

2. La Flama Blanca VS The Reckoning Rises

     The Champ is here. La Flama starts his quest for a 2peat against a worthy opponent. Any thoughts about La Flama having a one and done championship quickly faded when they acquired Peyton Manning, Demaryius Thomas, and Leveon Bell in the draft. They start this season with a better team, on paper, than last year's, when La Flama turned a worst draft award into a championship. Standing in their way in week 1 is none other than The Reckoning Rises. TdoubleR(The Reckoning Rises) is determined to bounce back after a down season in 2013(high standards considering they almost made the playoffs). Their team is currently projected to finish 11-2-1 by the Yahoo metrics, meaning they drafted well. Lesean, Jordy, Alshon....WHAT! RdoubleT hopes to use Flama's star from last year, Lesean McCoy, against them to start the season. This match-up may not mean much for the long term, but anytime two teams of this caliber meet, its time to get the popcorn ready.

3. Advantageous Morgans VS The Real McCoy

     Two Teams with championship aspirations square of in the number 3 match-up for week 1. The Morgans had a fantastic 2013 campaign finishing 2nd in the final MFFL standings, after losing to La Flama in the championship. They now have a target on their back. The first team attempting to hit their mark is The Real McCoy. McCoy fell back to earth, after a championship in 2012, with a 4th to last finish in 2013. McCoy hopes a better draft this season will help them right the course. It is important for both teams to start the season off with a win. McCoy feels disrespected and wants to return to former glory, while the Morgans aim to maintain momentum gained in 2013. McCoy may be looking ahead to their week 2 match-up against TdoubleR, but this still a great match-up for week 1.

4. El Pollo Loco VS Tavon & Only

     A match-up deserving more attention slips into number 4 for week 1. Both Tavon and Loco are looking to make the playoffs for the first time. Tavon had perhaps the best draft, acquiring guys like Megatron, Montee Ball, and Doug Martin. There is no doubt that this is the best Tavon team this league has ever seen. Loco will try to combat this with a dominant RB core featuring Eddie Lacy and Demarco Murray. Loco has been so close each of the last two seasons, sparking many managers to believe loco is ready to make a jump in 2014. Two hungry managers trying eat in week 1 walk into the same buffet line.  

5. It Ertz When I Pee VS Witner Wonderland

     Ertz traded Brees. Witner is trying to make the playoffs for a second straight season. They were West Division champs in 2013 making them a wanted man. With all the hungry managers in the West trying to take a bite, Witner will have to shock the world in 2014. They drafted well and will definitely compete, but do they have the drive and determination like the teams below them. Week 1 may shed some light.
