Welcome back to Binge Sports and welcome to a preview of Binge Bowl I. Not only are the teams set for the final game of the inaugural season of the Binge Fantasy Football League, but this first championship game is a true Binge Bowl as myself and Jack are the two participants. We played in Week 1 and Week 12 with Jack winning both. I have three losses on the year and he gave me two of them. We’ve done shows together and I just got his Christmas card in the mail and I want to fucking destroy him….can’t write shit like this.

In the semifinal matchups, I was able to get by Chad F.’s Chi-Town Smackdowns behind a balanced attack from my lineup. The key for me this week was getting 21.00 points from the Kansas City defense as opposed to Chad getting none from the Carolina defense. That’s why I’m in the title game. Chad had a great season, coming in fourth in the regular season with a 9-4 record and a playoff win last week.

On the other side of the bracket, Jack gave Murph a beating that nobody saw coming. Murphys Law led the league in points this season but was annihilated this week as 12.5 or Die got 20 or more points from four different guys, including 40.90 from David Johnson. The team’s 165.08 point total was Jack’s highest of the year and the second-highest in the entire league this year, runner-up only to the 175.74 total in Week 3 from…..my Italian Stallions. Let’s take a quick look at the scores from the semifinals and get a detailed look at the tale of the tape for Binge Bowl I.
