Aj's Playoff Domination

All the planning and research i started in week 9 paid off.

I did hours of research and realized that i should be able to dominate my way through the playoffs using the trenches.

Defense and kickers are often overlooked and never talked about, so even when it came to the show i co-host the talk was never there. Last Wednesday i mentioned that Tennessee would be the number 1 defense. There were number 2 only behind San Fran who i am sure not many played given their match up against Arizona's high powered offense.

In every league i played in i played Tennessee as my defense as they were playing the rams, and that was before i knew that Noll was getting the start for St. Louis.

Another trench gold at this time of year was Rob Bironas. Once Tennessee fell off the charts and were getting dropped i kept my eye on everyone because Bironas and the Defense was ranked in the top 3 coming into the year. When they started to win i checked their match ups and realize i could use them in week 14 to get me through the week. And that it did as i Knocked off THE CHAMP in one league who was the reigning 3 time champ. The same expert fell to me in another league making my domination of him throughout the year come to an end in both league as i move on to the semi finals against other great managers.

As for my week 15 and 16 trench use Arizona in week 15. Houston is a good play as well.

Week 16 has two options as well Arizona again and San Fran as a second option.

Week 17 for those who play in this week will find some good numbers with San Fran.

Of course there are the Saints and the Vikings that can be played each week but are dangerous as they might be resting some players late in the year. The teams and weeks i have mentioned are free agent options that i planned in using since week 9 as i have played this year with the free agent of the week on defense strategy.

Good Luck All

CHAMPS to CHUMPS

Just a few months ago most were giving the Steelers a better than good chance to repeat as champions. In the last five weeks we have watch them lose to the KC Chiefs, Oakland Raiders and the Cleveland Browns. All three of these teams have at one time or the other within in the year been called the worst in the NFL and there is no one that can dispute that they are within the lower end of the league. So, if a team loses to all three including the team that is called the worse, and is statistically the worst on offense and defense, than shouldn't that mean that the Pittsburgh Steelers are the worst in the NFL regardless of the six wins they can boost about?
