CFFL Playoffs and Fantasy Bowl Preview

Merry Christmas!

Well we are all set.  The big Fantasy Bowl XXXIV match up between the Chislers and Cocktails has come to reality.  Could this be an epic shoot out, or a complete blow out?  Let's look to see how they got there last week...

Chislers 41  Animals 26 - CHICAGO, IL - It was another battle between father and son in the playoffs, a place the Animals were able to defeat the Chislers last year on their way to a Fantasy Bowl title.  This year it would be different.  With no Happy or Sad Cam and facing the number one offense Chislers it was going to a tall task.  The Animals took a quick lead 18-0 but barley any of the Chisler main players had yet to play. 

Woods was a late line up change that paid off!!

But as the 4:00 games began, the Rams/Chislers were taking the field, however less one of the best players in the league, Todd Gurley.  Well it appeared they wouldn't need Gurley, as both Goff and Woods would actually run TDs in!  Then it hit!  Goff hit Woods for an 11 point play and Antonio Brown caught a TD just seconds apart.  It was all over for the Animals as their dreams for a repeat ended.  The Chislers were yet again back into the Fantasy Bowl for the 11th time in franchise history.

Cocktails 37  Krauts 32 - BERLIN - There is something about teams from Germany fighting teams from Russia that just doesn't end well for the Germans.  The Cocktails had beaten the Krauts twice in the regular season and was looking for yet a third to move on to their first ever Fantasy Bowl.

Mahomes had 14 points!

The Stage would be set by a colossal disastrous line up change by the Krauts.  The Krauts struck first as Kyle Rudolph "the red nose reindeer" scored two TDs including a Hail Mary TD catch at end of the half.  The big mistake was that the Krauts, for some reason, decided to bench Cousins for Trubisky!  Wait, what?  Was it because Cousins had played terrible last week? (No he threw for 2 TDs).  Was it because "Bitch" Trubisky was lighting it up lately?  (Not really, 4 points and 8 points last 2 weeks).  Well that move would come back to haunt the Krauts.


Trailing 32-6 going into Sunday Night, the Cocktails would need a decent game from the Chiefs who was playing a tough game up in Seattle in the cold, dark night.  It was really only a matter of time, as Mahomes continued his MVP year with 14 points along with 11 from Butker.  The  final seconds of the Krauts season ticked off the clock and the final was 37-32 for the Cocktails.

Cousins was perplexed about the decision. 

Trubisky had one TD pass.  Cousins had 3.  Those two extra TDs that Cousins, who led this team the entire year and played for the owner's favorite team the Vikings, threw, would have won the game for the Krauts!

Molotov Cocktails at Cherry's Checkers

Well this was the match up the entire league was expecting after they both stocked up on Ram and Chief players.  And with both NFL teams needing to win this weekend, they might not have any players sitting. 

QB - Mahomes vs Goff.  We saw this actual match up in the NFL and it was one hell of a shoot out.  Chiefs take on Raiders while the Rams take on 49ers.  Both will be at home.  This is going to be close.  I see Mahomes edging Goff here by one score.
ADV - Cocktails

RB - Some Chief RB vs. Chubb (Gurley?).  Williams seems to be the play here, even if he has West on the bench.  Chubb has been a pleasant surprise and has 10 TDs on the season.  However Browns play the Ravens.  Gurley may not play Sunday due to nursing a banged up knee.  If he does play, count on the advantage going to the Chislers.  However I have a feeling he won't be playing.
ADV - Cocktails

WR - Chiefs WRs vs. Brown, Hilton, Thielen and Woods.  While the Cocktails are banking on the Chiefs WRs and TE Kelce, the Chislers will be hoping to get some other production from Hilton and Thielen.  Hard to argue that the Cocktails wide outs won't out score the Chislers.  Hill and Kelce alone will be enough as each TD catch is 11 points. 
ADV - Cocktails

K - Butker vs. Zuerlein.  Well it depends on what the Chiefs and Rams do.  Either way, I could see Zuerlein getting more FGs than Butker (which would mean Cocktails probably getting more TDs)
ADV - Chislers

This should be a good one and will be a wild Sunday afternoon as both Chiefs and Rams play at 4:00.  Oh boy!  I don't know if the Chislers are going to be able to keep up with the scoring that the Cocktails will likely put up.  But you know there is one thing the Chislers have that no other team has.  Chisler Luck!  The Chislers are going to need to be at least 6 point behind by the end of the 4:00 madness so that Hilton can catch a game winning TD for the Chislers to get them their 6th Fantasy Bowl title. 

Prediction:  Cocktails prevail however as they will have an 8 point lead, and Hilton will only get 1 TD.  Cocktails win 52-50.
