Playoffs: Week 1 Results

In the NBA they have a famed playoff slogan, "Win or Go Home!" This week there are four more teams that are going home - some of which were not expecting to this early! That is the beauty of the playoffs, that is why everyone loves March Madness. In March, you are looking for the perennial top tier team to lose because they happen to have played a terrible game and their opponent got hot in the second half.

Everyone knows what I am talking about - and not it has trickled over to the Bluffton Bombshells...

1. Hernandez Hit Men v 8. The Trashmen

 The top team continues to steam roll the competition...

As it has happened all season long, McCaffrey and Mahomes have continued to dominate. However, this week was a little different with a big game from Landry - which was needed. Hernandez Hit Men is looking like the favorite from this point on, but anything can happen.

The Trashmen had a good season. Eventually, his lack of running backs caught up to him and he couldn't solely rely on Adams to carry his team. Without a huge game from Ertz, this was hopeless.

Result: Hernandez Hit Men

2. White Condomints v 7. Team Dez Nuts

You know when you are watching a game and you know that one team is clearly better - but their coach makes a bonehead decision and you can't figure out why they decided to do that for the life of you - that is this matchup...

First, let's congratulate Team Dez Nuts for beating the best team in the playoffs and scoring the highest point total this week. Smith-Schuster was unreal this week and if anyone doubted the trade Dez Nuts made earlier in the season to pick him up - who is laughing now?

Now, if you were a manager and you picked up Spencer Ware after the Kareem Hunt debacle - wouldn't you play him? Isn't that the reason why you picked him up? Would you really play Adam Humphries over the starting running back in the best offense in the NFL? White Condomints - you freaking moron...

Next, if you made a trade midseason to acquire a defense specifically for the playoffs - why would you not start them? Why would you leave them on the bench? Like seriously, what are you doing with your life that Fantasy Football is not the number one priority???

Result: Team Dez Nuts

3. Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood v 6. Dang! I'M STILL STUPID

Now, this is eerily similar to March Madness. There is always one side of the bracket that gets thrown completely out of whack and the inferiors win games they shouldn't....

Not only did the 2 seed lose, but so did the 3 seed. I'M STILL DUMB won, even though Goff scored -.3 as a quarterback! When is the last time a fantasy team has won a matchup with negative points from a quarterback, in fact when is the last time a quarterback has scored negative points in the playoffs? Gronkowski finally had a good week and now that he has been passed around the league and finally found a home, he could make one owner extremely happy!

This was a close matchup going into MNF - but the game was ugly and so was the overall result for Mr. Rodgers. Thanks to no bonuses (which was voted upon) Barkley ends up scoring less that 30 points on a game when he rushed for 170 yards, if bonuses where turned on - he would have earned quite a few more points from the bonuses and who knows what would have happened.

Result: DANG IT! I'M STILL DUMB!!

4. Steady Diet v 5. Prible is my B*tch

This week belonged to the underdog - as they ended up going 3-1 in the first round of the playoffs.

You can't kick a man when he is down, and let's be honest Steady Diet is down. A terrible way to end the season, 1-4 with a crushing loss in the playoffs. Funchess and Washington's defense didn't help the cause - but really? You can't score more than 100 points in the playoffs?

PIMB is looking like a dangerous team. If OBJ can return to full health and be ready for the 2nd round we will have a nice matchup between HHM and PIMB. Can the underdogs continue their success?

Result: PIMB wins
Prediction: PIMB...RIGHT!!
