YOOPER BOWL VI

 

 

Blumkins vs. IOwensU

 

 

Well the team of destiny has marched on into the championship. I truly believe IOwensU is destined to win it all this year, BUT the Blumkins seem to have the players in place that are actually going to go all out as they try to make the NFL Playoffs. This should be a barnburner and one of the highest scoring championships ever.

The interesting thing with these two teams is they both have Randy Moss, and Clinton Portis, which means these two players cancel each other out, which is big. Because these two have been great over the past few weeks, the one thing in favor of IOwensU is that they have a better run game outside of Portis which could be the difference in points. Big Ben Roethlisberger has been playing well of late also and his play has help propel IOwensU this far. Of course the pick-up of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers D/ST a few weeks a go has also looked like a smart move by the GM of IOwensU. In the end though it will come down to the play of Steven Jackson, and Fred Taylor, can they keep up the torrid pace they have had over the past few weeks? Or will they falter in the biggest game of their lives?

Blumkins pulled off the upset last week over AquaSplash, and in the process won bragging rights for a year over his brother. This week though a much larger stake is at hand. The stake being $400 to the winner of YOOPER BOWL VI. Blumkins will rely on Moss, and Portis as mentioned but with IOwensU carrying these same two players the Blumkins scoring options come down to their QB, and the WRs/TE. Drew Brees has been great of late, and his play will be counted on heavily by Blumkins. Over the past few weeks there has not been a better TE in the game than Jason Witten, but does he sit this week in a meaningless game for the Cowboys? In addition you have Laurence Maroney playing well, but will he also sit if the Patriots get out to a big lead? A lot of question marks, but make no mistake this team is the far because they have made the right moves, and will hope that these moves pay off again this week.

In the end the difference will be Steven Jackson, I think he runs wild and the consistent play of the other IOwensU players will propel them to their first ever UPFL title. Good luck to both teams, but only one of you is coming out a winner, the other you’re a $150 loser.

Blumkins: 112 *IOwensU: 134
