The Good Life Blog: CFFL Week 14 & Playoff Preview

Eight teams play on. Eight teams sit at home and wait until August...brutal. The controversial Week 14 is in the books with illegal rosters and questionable line up decisions.

Week 14 action:

In the North...It didn't look like any team in the North wanted to play. With the playoffs on the the line the Crew only managed 6 points and lost to a Ferret team that had given up. 15 points from Ferret kicker Aubrey did in the Crew...With the North division on the line, the Chislers scored only 6 and it was from their defense! Animals win 20-6 and claim the North.

Kid couldn't miss for the Ferrets

In the South...The Warbirds defeated the Killer Bees 30-28 on a last minute pick six by their defensive lineman from the Dolphins! The Dragons, needing to win to get in, did just that, defeating the Titans 39-11. They got 12 points from both Mostert and Deebo "Dabo Sweeny" Samuel.

Warbirds' defense get the pick six for the win!

In the East...The Sinistars were able to hold on to defeat the Cocktails 22-17. The Cocktails had Tua, AJ Dillon, and Derrick "King" Henry going Monday night, but couldn't get enough production to pull off the win. In fact only Henry would score for the Cocktails...The Krauts get a last minute TD from Hopkins to defeat the Juggernauts 41-38! Juggs still clinch the division with the sweep of the Sinistars during the regular season.

Hopkins catches the game winner for the Krauts!

In the West...Cam's Killers were able to send the Crush home with their 12 loss on the season 31-12. All 31 points came from Killers' Buccaneer players...The Legion got a late 10 point connection on Monday, but wasn't enough to sustain the 12 points the Whales got from Barkley on Monday night. Whales fall jut short of making the playoffs and defending their title. They lose the points tie breaker to the Dragons 401-355.

Player of the Week: Baker Mayfield, QB, Killers - 14 points

Congratulations to our Division Winners:

North: Alex's Animals 12-2: They win the North by 2 games and are the odds on favorite to win the Fantasy Bowl. This is only the Animals' 2nd division title and their 10th trip to the post season.

South: Weiland's Warbirds 10-4: Pretty much ran away with the south winning it by 3 games. After starting 9-19 since entering the league, this is their first trip to the playoffs.

East: Jakes' Juggernauts 9-5: They tied the Sinistars for the division, but won the head to head battle sweeping them. This is the Juggs' 5th division title and their second in a row.

West: Iron Legion 8-6: The Legion enter the post season on a three game skid. This is their first division title as well as their first playoff appearance.

Playoff Round One Match ups:

(8) Dragons at (1) Animals -6 - Animals are rolling. They have won 12 in a row and are loaded at every position. Dragons stumbled in the second half of the season, but managed to pull it together in the final week to make playoffs. Could be dangerous with Lamar Jackson and Mostert.

Take the Animals and lay the points. Too much for the Dragons. Animals 42-23

(7) Cocktails at (2) Warbirds -10 - Warbirds tend to rely on Jalen Hurts, but have formidable RBs in Achane and Etienne. The Cocktails are hungry for a championship. Not sure this is the team though.

Take the points with the Cocktails. Will be close with Warbirds winning a close one. Warbirds 27-25

(6) Sinistars at (3) Juggernauts -1 - The third act for these two East division rivals. In the Week 7-8 home and home series, the Juggernauts won both games, 45-29 and 43-35. Will they get their third in a row? They say it's hard to defeat a team three times in one season in the CFFL...

Grab Juggeranuts on the ML. Kamara, McCaffrey and Metcalf are hard to beat.

(5) Chislers at (4) Legion -10 - Legion limping into the playoffs, losing their last 3. I can't imagine the Chislers will only score 6 points again. Legion are a very dangerous team focused on Packers and Cowboys. Looks like it will be Love all the way now with Herbert out of the year with a broken finger.

10 points is way too much. Take the Chislers and the points. Keep an eye out for an outright upset win too. Chislers 38-36
