MOTW - Championship

EDIT: Sorry for not posting this earlier. I actually wrote this on Saturday morning but didn't hit the "Publish" button (you'll see this is true based on my QB comparison...)

MOTW
2. #callgod (Biggie) vs. 4. The Mas-deflater (Simon)
QB: As good as Cousins has been, he must match up against arguably the best QB in the game today. Rodgers faces a Cardinals defense that has actually been susceptible to the pass. Bradford didn't have a problem moving the chains last week and with the Honey Badger out, he should be able to hang 30+ on them. Edge: Simon
WR: Antonio Brown against the dead Ravens defense? Yikes... I don't know if all 3 of Simon's WRs can match Antonio's output this week. Edge: Biggie
RB: While David Johnson should be able to go toe to toe with either of Biggie's backs, Gore has not been great the past couple weeks. Will Simon pull Gore for Artis-Payne is a shocking move? We'll see. But either way, Biggie's two RB1s should carry him to a win in this position battle. Edge: Biggie
TE: Both teams have weak tight ends, but a slight edge to Simon's due to Alshon's potential absence. Other than Forte/Langford, all targets should come Miller's way. Edge: Simon
Special Teams: The 2 best defenses in the league square off against questionable QBs. They both play at home as well with playoff standings at stake so expect double digit outputs from both. Edge: Even

Winner: Biggie
Too much firepower brings Biggie his 2nd championship in a matchup of contenders going for their 2nd trophy. This is actually a rematch of the 2010 championship when Vick carried Simon's team to the championship against Biggie's team that had 2 QBs playing due to Joe Webb's weird designation.

Also, if you guys are wondering what the hell is going on with the 7th place game for the $25 Amazon gift card, I'll explain it as succinctly as possible.
- David and Paul each chose 6 of their best players
- The opponent got to pick which of those 3 he wanted the owner to play.
- The 7th place battle will be determined by a 3 v 3 matchup.

Good luck to all and thanks for a great year!
