I don’t have records for the most points scored in a game by two teams. At least not yet. But this has to be a candidate. Car Ramrod defeated Titans King-less Court 152-149 in a game that saw 302 points scored. And no, my math skills are not failing me, decimals added another 1.5 points. I have to believe that is the highest scoring fantasy game in the history of our leagues.

Sam Darnold went nuts for the Titans, scoring 44 points. But It wasn’t enough as Ramrod got sixty from two wide receivers. Jamar Chase had 31 and Puka Nacua had 29. Jalen Hurts added 28 more. Car Ramrod end the regular season a very impressive 9-5, but it earns them no cash, as they still finish in second place to the Beercats, who ironically are featured in the next game review.

So this morning, Down the Drain stopped by my desk and said they thought they were gonna pull out the win last night. But a late Burrow touchdown ended those dreams. I was envisioning a competitive, high scoring game that Drain was talking about. When I looked at the scores, what do I find. If Down the Drain and the Beercats had combined their scores, they would not have come within ten points of either team in the previous game. Geez, what a letdown. As it turns out, the Beercats win, clinching the Shula division and the number one overall seed. The Beercats only scored 69 points despite getting 32 from Joe Burrow.

So I’m a little out of order this morning, glossing over the Player of the Week award. Josh Allen had one of the best fantasy games in history. Fifty points is rarified air, and Allen had 57 on Sunday. That was enough, just enough to propel the Secret Scammers past Shakedown in a pivotal matchup wildcard consideration. The Scammers had to win, but they also needed help and needed to make up points.

Well, the Scammers got the help. They needed Bane to lose. And Happy came thru dropping Bane 116-69. Justin Jefferson was a happy little Viking scoring 25 to lead Happy. Happy ends the season at 8-6 and solidly in the playoffs. Bane dropped to 6-8 and would leave their fate in the hands of total points. I won’t ruin the surprise now as to who go into the playoffs.

Kickin Chicken finished the season strong, battling back to a 5-9 record and winning three straight down the stretch. Oh, and they are in the hunt for the Survivor crown, though their 81 points in an 81-45 victory over error 404 doesn’t not fill me with much confidence. Kyler Murray and Rachaad White were the leading scorers in the game. This will probably be the last time I talk about either of these teams as they have both been eliminated from the playoffs.

Momball is your 2024 Chuck Noll division champion. Not because they won. No, Transformation Worldwide kicked their butts 114-86. But because they scored more points than Transformation Worldwide for the entire season. These teams both finish 8-6, but Momball was nearly two hundred points ahead of Transformation Worldwide. So they had some margin for error. So despite Tua Tagovailoa and Josh Jacobs scored 27 and 24 respectively, it was of little concern to Momball.

PLAYOFF BRACETS
I teased the final wildcard spot. The winner of the Scammers – Shakedown game needed Bane to lose and needed to outscore Bane to win the tiebreaker. The Scammers needed to make up roughly 40 points. And between Josh Allens huge game and a poor showing by Bane, the Scammers end up stealing the final playoff spot by 17 points. Having clarified that, here are the EWFFL playoff brackets. Far less controversial than the college football bracket.

1. Beercats vs. 8. Secret Scammers
4. Car Ramrod vs. 5. Transformation Worldwide
3. Momball vs. 6. Happy
2. Down the Drain vs. Titans Kingless Court

I’ll do a preview article later in the week. Will get too long here with eight games.


EAGLES HIT TEN WIN MARK
I think I’m guilty of sleeping on the Eagles this year. I did not realize they were approaching ten wins. It is criminal that will not earn them cash this regular season as they were mired in the same division as Steel City FooBall. But ten wins is a great season. The Eagles wrapped up the regular season with a 146-117 victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes. Jarod Goff and Puka Nacua both scored 29 points. Josh Jacobs added 24 more. Look out for the Eagles in the playoffs.

It comes as no surprise that Josh Allen is Player of the Week in this league too. And in every fantasy league around the world this week. A bit of irony here. The Scammers have teams in both leagues. While the Scammers benefited from Josh Allen in the EWFFL, they were on the receiving end, and I don’t mean as a wide receiver, of his 57 points game in the BMFFL. The Old England Patriots rode Allens big game to a 144-128 victory to get oh so close to the Scammers in the Halas division. But in the end, the Scammers are division champion.

Steel City FooBall wrapped up the Lombardi division with a narrow victory over Grande Fantamas 84-78. Not a great game, and FooBall is somewhat low in total points. But they had the right matchups at the right times to end the season 11-3. They will be the top seed heading into the playoffs.

The Gritz Blitz Falcons kept rolling. Joe Burrow’s 32 led the Falcons to a 110-102 win over the Willow Run Flyers. The Falcons are the Paul Brown division champion. Besides Burrows 32, Jauan Jennings had 21.

Some dreams were dashed this weekend. The Rimski Raiders needed a win to have a chance to make the playoffs. Prestige Worldwide squashed those hopes beating the Raiders 100-80. Kyren Williams led Prestige with 21 points as they close the season at an even 7-7. The Raiders end the campaign 5-9 and on the outside looking in.

And Florida Sea Breeze get one more victory to end the year. They beat the Baloony Boiz 69-42. The Boiz were clearly resting players ahead of a playoff run. Breeze got 23 from Jameis Winston in the win.

PLAYOFF BRACKET
No tie break drama in the BMFFL. There was a clean break by record. 6-8 got in. 5-9 was left out. Knowing that, here are the brackets.

1. Steel City FooBall vs. 8. Baloony Boiz
4. Cincinnati Eagles vs. 5. Old England Patriots
3. Digital Scammers vs. Prestige Worldwide
2. Willow Run Flyers vs. Gritz Blitz Falcons

Just like the EWFFL, I will do a preview article later this week.

GUIDO! TIME TO WAKE UP GUIDO!
I let him sleep extra long this year. That means his bat swinging arm will be extra rested. But it is time for me to come collecting. Below is a list of owners who have not paid the entry fee. Those still in the playoffs are welcome to wait and see if you win the big prize. The rest of you, please go to the web site (www.dlamb15.com/ffl) and go to the bottom of the article page (click on your league’s logo on the home page) to see all the acceptable ways to pay the league.

Yes, I am resorting to public shaming for those who have not paid. That’s just what I do. And if you dispute my book keeping, please let me know.
