Playoffs

the playoffs and our team had a tough matchup against Antioch, they are just as good if not better than us.

had just about the same record. The Colts have made the playoffs 2 of the last 3 years and the Chiefs have made it 2 of the last 3 years. The Chiefs have had a better record, a better quarterback, and a better defense when the Chiefs are compared to the Colts in the last two year. The Chiefs record is 13 and 6 since the beginning of last year. The Chiefs had a good enough record last season to be able to make it to the playoffs. In the playoffs, the Chiefs played the Houston Texans and won by…

It's Sunday on a cold evening in mid-March. While others are freezing their buns outside, you're sweating out a possible heads-up victory in your fantasy league that will ensure a playoff spot. All of your opponent's players are done and you've got Kevin Durant facing a leaky Kings defense that's already scouting their latest lottery pick. Your fantasy team is already up 5-4, but can claim two more categories if KD can pour in 35 points and 2+ three-pointers. Here's the dilemma. You live in…
