2008 Beer and Football on Sundays Championshop Preview

It’s finally here. The week that every Fantasy Football manager plays for. Championship week. Two teams. One winner. One loser.

2008 Beer and Football on Sundays Championship:
The Champs AGAIN vs. Shocking The World

If the winner of this matchup was decided on team name changes, Milton would be the clear cut victor here. But it’s not, so let’s take a look at this matchup and how these two teams got here.

The Champs AGAIN

The first half of the season, this team was at best a .500 team. But a blockbuster deal involving Championship Game opponent Shocking The World, catapulted this team to the top and knocking on the door of becoming Beer and Football on Sundays first dynasty. Since the trade in Week 7, The Champs AGAIN have gone 9-0 and has averaged a score of 157.52. From acquiring Jay Cutler and Adrian Peterson via trade, and DeAngelo Williams from free agency, every move this team has made has turned into pure gold. Scott should be thankful that the DeAngelo Williams/Terrell Owens trade was vetoed because Williams has done nothing but produce since. This team is the clear cut favorite to repeat as champs again this season.

Shocking The World

It hurts to write this piece because this team beat my team to get into this position. Milton needed his top scoring week this week in order to get into the finals and he sure as hell got that with a 159.20. The Peterson/Cutler for Steve Smith/Willie Parker/Joseph Addai blockbuster that went down with Scott finally paid off for Milton as Steve Smith put up 40 points this week. This trade looked like a total bust for Milton, but with his key acquisition producing in the most important game for him, I’m sure he is viewing this trade as a win win scenario. Since the trade Shocking The World has gone a respectable 6-3, and has averaged a score of 136.06. Shocking The World goes into the Championship the clear cut underdog but will look to shock the world and dethrone The Champs AGAIN.
