Week 14 Match-Up Build-Up

GAME OF THE WEEK

Perpetual Dynasty vs Tavon and Only
     It all comes down to this. Three playoff spots have already been filled, and this match-up features the only two teams left with a realistic chance to get the fourth and final spot. Through the league's first three seasons, there has never been a match-up like this, featuring an all or nothing play-in game to reach the playoffs. This is essentially already a playoff game for both PD and Tavon.
     Tavon has already had their best season ever, and they're trying to make it that much sweeter. They have lost two games in a row after winning 5 straight during the middle of the season. They have scored at least 120 points in 6 out of 8 games, but during their last 4 games they are averaging 114 ppg. It is a noticeable decrease from their 135 ppg during their 5 game winning streak earlier in the year. Simply put, this team is very consistent, only scoring under 120 four times this entire year. It was clear way back in August when Tavon had another fantastic draft that this team was going have their best season to date, and they have not disappointed. Heading into one of the biggest match-ups in MFFL history, Tavon is concerned about their two straight losses but their mindset is the same its been all year. They have been dedicated and dialed-in dating back to the offseason. This team will be ready for a dog fight.
     PD has scored the same amount points that have been scored against them. It amounts to an even push of 132 ppg for PD and their opponents. PD's play improved half way through the season as they are averaging 147 ppg since week 6. Even with the strong statistics, PD is only one loss away from their first under .500 season in their history, and their 6 potential wins would be the same win total as one of the two teams missing out on all playoff formats. PD needed many scenarios to unfold for them to even be in this position, and they are entering this week with nothing to lose and an appreciation for the moment. The season from hell for PD still has a chance to climb out of the abyss. A win for PD would secure their 4th straight playoff appearance, a league record.
     All eyes of the league will be transfixed on the 2015 playoff play-in game come Sunday. With seeding for the playoffs still in flux, the results of this game will shake up the potential playoff match-ups entering week 15. The significance and weight of this game cannot be understated. Give this match-up the respect it deserves by tuning in on Sunday. You may never see a game of this construction ever again. This one is for the history books.
