Bush League


Morgan Dollar vs. Upstate Flavor !!!!
How They Got Here: On the back of Vincent Jackson, Morgan Dollar pulled the upset over the top-seeded NY Mazmaniacs in the semifinals. The disgruntled wideout was the only player for either team to score more than 17 points, posting 34 in what proved the difference in the 98-81 victory.
The Flavor ganged up on UGotBeat ByAGirl, eliminating the underdog upstarts 93-72 in what was a fairly boring game. The Jon Kitna/Jason Witten combined for 44 points, and pretty much single-handedly secured the victory for the Flavor.
Matchup: For Upstate Flavor, the Kitna/Witten combo has an excellent chance of putting up big points against the awful Cardinals, but of course, the return of Aaron Rodgers will probably split the pairing apart. It'll be interesting to see which direction Flavor goes there. Ronnie Brown and Brian Westbrook have fortuitous matchups, but Matt Forte, facing the Jets, doesn't. Calvin Johnson is a lock to do Calvin Johnson things against the Dolphins, which leaves Michael Crabtree as the X factor. He's been a non-entity since the return of Alex Smith, but does face the Rams, a team he had a good day against earlier in the season. Flavor is incredibly thin at WR so there's not really another option, meaning it's Crabtree or bust.
Morgan Dollar seems to have the advantage in the tasty matchup department. Tom Brady gets lowly Buffalo, Arian Foster faces the abysmal Broncos, and Marshawn Lynch gets the crumbling Bucs. Vincent Jackson, who once again will be Philip Rivers' lone legitimate option, will have a field day against the Chargers. Throw in the freakish Jimmy Graham and the fat but effective Sea Bass, and things look promising for the Dollar.
PREDICTION: Morgan Dollar – Better players and better matchups equal CHAMPIONSHIP.
