LINE: Flash Dem TD's -2
Hein!!! managed to turn things around just in time and avoid missing the playoffs. However, they'll have their hands full in the first round against the defending champions. Flash Den TD's have largely flown under the radar this season. They haven't won by huge margins, they didn't have any significant win or loss streaks, they didn't break any records - they just did what they needed to do to get to the playoffs. This playoff game will mark the first time TD's will host Hein!!!, so there isn't a lot of history to go off of. But if we look over the past 5 weeks, Hein!!! is 1-4 while averaging 97.6 pts/gm, and TD's are 4-1 with an average score of 108.2. If the TD's are able to get out to a solid lead coming out of the Thursday night game, I think they'll have this locked up. But if Prescott and Montgomery fail to get them at least 35 points, I'm giving this one to Hein!!!. And because it's the playoffs, things never turn out as expected. I'll take Hein!!! and the points.
COMMISH'S PICK: Hit Em With The Hein!!!
LINE: EVEN
These two teams split a pair of games this season, so it's fitting the 3rd contest should be an elimination game. Over the past 5 weeks, Los Perros Locos has clearly been the better team, winning 4 of 5 with an average score of 123.4 pts/gm. Who Is You, on the other hand, has only won 2 of their last 5 games with an average score of 88.6 pts/gm. In that same span they also surrendered 1st place to Pork Chop Express, thus they're playing in this round instead of enjoying the view from the sidelines. If you consider just those facts, you might begin to think that Perros will run away with this game. But, there is a reason the line is even on this game: the player matchups. Los Perros has a slew of challenging matchups while You has several favorable player matchups. In the end, I think the deciding factor in this contest comes down to Mahomes versus that Patriots defense. The Pats defense has been tough against quarterbacks this season, but two that have had luck against them - Watson and Jackson - have similar styles of play to Mahomes. I'm taking Perros, but I wouldn't fault anyone for taking You.
COMMISH'S PICK: Los Perros Locos
