It’s been a dog eat dog playoff in 2017 as the underdog has won every matchup (let’s be serious, even as the #3 seed, Scott was the worst roster going into the playoffs). As it is, we’re going to have some sort of repeat in 2017. We’ll either have our first back to back Igloo Bowl Champ, or it will be the second year in a row a team has gone from Frittata to the title in one season. The Stache are obviously the favourite, having put up the only 200 point games of the playoff, while WDJFS has limped through on 175ish point performances, catching some serious breaks along the way. Can lightning strike three times in a row?
Good luck to both Smitty and Scott. Let’s hope for an entertaining final that comes down to the Christmas games, instead of a lump of coal final like we’ve generally had.
Igloo Bowl Bracket
#5 Tom Selleck’s Moustache (257.14) def #1 Greg Schiano is an Idiot (199.04)
The Stache came out flying in their title defence with back to back 200 point games, with this week being the 5th highest score all time and the 2nd highest for 2017. The Idiots are again faced with running into a semi-final buzz saw when they go into the playoffs as the #1 seed. The good news for Smitty is the last team to stomp the Idiots in the semi went on to take home the trophy. The Stache had solid performances all around and were .1 points away from having 15 players score in double digits. That’s crazy good production. The Idiots, on the other hand, did have the 2 highest scores in the matchup, but the rest of the squad was a letdown, including 3 players that failed to register a full point. Unfortunately for them, there wasn’t much on the bench that would have helped outside of Greg Olsen. Smitty heads back to the Igloo Bowl to defend his title.
Game MVP: Devonta Freeman – The schedule makers love Freeman, giving him prime semi-final matchups as he puts up over 190 yards to be MVP for the 2nd straight year.
Goat: Jimmy Graham – The former star TE managed negative yards in this blowout loss. What hurts, even more, is the 22 points left on the bench in a now healthy Greg Olsen.
#3 What Does John Fox Say (174.09) def #4 Loose Bandits (161.59)
Another semi-final dud for the Bandits, as they drop a 12 and a half point loss to WDJFS. This one was more about the Bandits losing as it was WDJFS winning. When you’re team is built around a few studs and has next to no depth, you’re pretty much screwed if one of those studs goes down or doesn’t perform. Antonio Brown went out early against the Pats, and the Bucs kept Julio from completely embarrassing them this time around, and the Bandits paid the price. WDJFS didn’t have any real stand out performances, but they didn’t have anyone on offence go under 6 points while the Bandits had 3. As a result, Scotty is off to his first championship appearance.
Game MVP: Jerick McKinnon – The Vikes runner put up his biggest score since Week 8, in leading the squad to victory. He did most of his damage through the air with 114 yards receiving.
Goat: Bandits WR – Same as last season. They did manage to collectively go over 20 points this time, but not by much, so they’re the Goat again.
Frittata Bowl Standings (Unofficial)
- Rex in the City – 359.94 -152.06, 207.88
- Endzone Dancers – 411.22 – 221.05, 190.17
- Knuckle Ballers – 424.12- 237.00, 187.12
- Chalupa Batman – 504.24 – 255.72, 248.52
This is still the Rexes to lose. He’s going to have to pull a rabbit out of his hat to not be the 2nd straight Frittata from Watford.
