Well all the top seeds and home teams held serve in the first round of the CFFL Playoffs. An interesting note is that every team that won last week does not have a Fantasy Bowl trophy. The teams they beat have combined for 12 titles. (Chislers-6, Crew-3, Krauts-2 and Bees-1). So this year we will see a team win its very first Fantasy Bowl.
Here is what happened in the first round of the playoffs:
Sinistars 50 Wrecking Crew 22 - SEATTLE, WA -- In the pacific Northwest the top seed Sinistars had little trouble with the 7-7 Wrecking Crew. In the previous 9 playoff appearances by the Sinistars, only 1 time they moved onto the second round. This will make only the 2nd time in 10 playoffs that they have won in the first round.

| Perriman scores one of his 3 TDs...fucker... |
You would think Russell Wilson would have been the reason they scored 50 points. Nope. It was recently acquired Breshad Perriman, who would have 18 huge points. The Crew did well to make the playoffs considering the draft day debacle of Andrew Luck retiring, but really couldn't get any consistency at QB between Brissett and Ga
roppolo.

| Wilson moves on, Jimmy G goes home. |
Ferrets 52 Chislers 21 - ANN ARBOR, MI -- In a North Division rematch the Ferrets also had little trouble with the Chislers, despite owner Tim Wening's constant negativity that he would loose even with a 32-6 lead. Potential league MVP Lamar Jackson started things going for the Ferrets with 20 points on Thursday. From there they never looked back. 12 more from DeVante "Peter" Parker and 12 more from Elliott and it was over.

| Jackson's 20 points set the tone of the game |
Chislers were let down by their Ram players once again, even after getting a 10 point connection by Goff and Kupp. But Goff would only throw one more TD and Kicker Zuerlein would only score 1 point.

| Jackson consoles Goff on the loss |
Cocktails 47 Krauts 31 - LENINGRAD, RUSSIA -- In another divisional rematch, there was little question that the Cocktails would finish with a victory. Despite the frigid and snowy conditions in Russia, Mahomes hit Hill for two 10 point connections and Carson was able to score 12 points in the win.
Krauts just didn't have enough fire power to keep up with the Cocktails. Kyler Murray only had 1 score Melvin Gordon couldn't hang on to the ball. They did get 15 points from kicker "Beetle" Bailey to make it somewhat respectable.
Dragons 56 Killer Bees 29 - MIAMI, FL -- Dragons win! Dragons win! They win only their second ever playoff game in 8 appearances. And it was against the hated Bees!! Here are the results of the past 7 playoff games by the Dragons:
2001: L 16-14 to Power
2004: L 28-26 to Chislers
2005: W 37-17 over Crush
2009: L 29-23 to Krauts
2010: L 28-25 to Mafia
2016: L 31-25 to Mafia
2017: L 30-18 to Titans

| Ingram has scored 14 TDs this year! |

| Bees QB Prescott and Dragons QB Watson after game. |
Playoffs Round 2:
Dragons at Sinistars (PK) - This game should be close as the line indicates. Can either team break their streak of never making it to a Fantasy Bowl? Well one of them will! Dragons come into the game led by Watson and a pretty good running attack of Ingram and Mostert. Sinistars of course are led by Russell Wilson. But the questions are will they get another big performance out of Perriman. And will they start Kenyan Drake, who had 24 points on their bench last week?
Take the Dragons in a slight upset
Cocktails (-3) at Ferrets - Oh my what a QB duel we have here! Mahomes vs. Jackson! Both have potential to put up big points. Can Ferrets keep the Cocktails Chiefs in check? That will determine this game. So goes the Chiefs, so goes the Cocktails. Their x-factor lately has been Chris "Johnny" Carson. The Ferrets x-factor is Parker. He as scored 4 TDs in past 3 weeks, and has 8 on the year so far.
Ferrets can't keep up with the Cocktails. Lay the points and take the Cocktails.
