The playoffs are here. The final spots were secured last night in thrilling fashion, as multiple match-ups came down to the 4th quarter of the final NFL games. The final four is set. Throw out the records, the playoffs are a different animal.
1. The Perpetual Dynasty (12-3) vs 4. Chicken Noodle Coop (8-7)
TPD closed out their season in style, wining their seventh straight game. The dominance this team displayed all season has been well documented, as they set multiple league records this year. Overall, this marks their 8th playoff appearance in 10 seasons, as they are looking to secure their 4th MFFL championship. This may be the best TPD team we have seen, a tall statement, but the numbers do not lie. Kupp, Taylor, and Allen are the three current overall fantasy points leaders. The three best players in fantasy this year are all on the same team, the team that drafted them. Simply unbelievable. TPD has scored below 130 just once since week 5. A win over this team in the playoffs would be a shocking upset, but it has happened to TPD before, in the 2012, 2013, and 2014 playoffs, when everyone thought TPD was unbeatable then too. This team will go down in history no matter what happens in the playoffs, but it will be remembered as the greatest fantasy football team ever if they close it out, and win their 4th ship in the last 6 years.
Coop has now made the playoffs in each of their first two season's of MFFL ball. It was an up and down season, evidenced by an 83 point week to close out the regular season, but they secured a playoff spot by playing well down the stretch and winning 3 out of 5. What Coop has done in their first two seasons is remarkable. They came in cold, off the street, and have gone toe to toe with the big boys for two straight seasons. They have caught the fantasy fever, and they are here to stay, as a yearly contender. They are looking for their 2nd straight championship appearance, and first ever ship. With nothing to lose this week, expect them to come out with their hair on fire.
2. El Pollo Loco (9-6) vs 4. The Real McCoy (8-7)
El Pollo Loco enters the playoffs on the heels of their best season and first West Division Championship. They finished 3rd in total points, and started playing their best ball down the stretch, winning 5 out of their last 6 games. Crazy as it sounds, their hot streak began right around the time CMC went on season ending IR. Who would have thought? They have been carried by their WRs and Mark Andrews down the stretch. The Chiefs game this week is important for both of these teams. It will be hard for Loco to start Mahomes, with Hill and Kelce on covid, but McCoy has Hill, so Loco may want that to actually happen, as they can find a replacement QB. This is now their 2nd playoff appearance out of the last 3 seasons, and they will be hoping for a return trip to the title game, after making it in 2019. They are fighting for their first MFFL title.
McCoy is in the playoffs once again, like TPD the 8th time in 10 seasons, but this season has looked nothing like McCoy teams of the past. Last week they balled out in a must win game, scoring 140 points, but before that they had been averaging 101 ppg in their last four. They've struggled maintaining high point totals during the second half of the season. Luckily, McCoy has a ton of playoff experience to lean on. Look for them to put their best team out their, and hope for the best. Never count this team out, though they have struggled in the playoffs. They are (3-7) in their last 10 playoff games, after winning championships in 2012 and 2014. They will be hoping to get back to the glory of old.
