Alabanga Week 15

The first round has passed and dang what a week it was. Anthony and Scott fall while Allen and Mike move on to face Jd and Sam. On to the semifinals we go!

#5 TD's VS #1 Rollin wit Ma-Home's

A few weeks ago this would've been an easy pick in Sam's favor. But let's be real right now. I know first hand what Mike's team is capable of. I just lived it. Most of Sam's team plays early this week so we'll know before Sunday where he stands. The majority of Mike's team plays Sunday noon so he'll know where the bar is. Yahoo has made Mike the favorite. Which may work against him. He reminds me of a certain NFL team this time last year. That underdog mentality pushed them into what would be the ultimate goal...superbowl champions. I can't WAIT for the outcome of this one. Sam has arguably the best team in LTA and Mike is undoubtedly the hottest team in LTA. Good luck fellas.

#3 Haterz VS #2 Insaino

I feel like I've been picking on Jd in my rants this season. I don't think I've picked him to win many games yet he's beaten the odds every time and finished with a 10-3/2nd seed finish. He's had a great season. Aaaaaaaand then there's Allen. Allen has been my pick to win this thing since about week 6. I have confidence Jd will make this a street fight but looking at these rosters this morning I can't pick against Allen. His team is loaded and I love his match ups this week. Good luck to you both.

Final thoughts,

I picked up the TOM from Travis this past week. It's gonna be weird not handing it right back to him. #beattravis .I also did something I never do because I know better...or I SHOULD know better. I hate the % meter on yahoo...At 4pm last Sunday I had a 97% chance of beating Mike... At that point I started thinking Sam. Then Amari Cooper happened. I hate Dallas, Amari is dead to me, and I hate yahoo for having that damn percent crap. LOL. Good luck to all 4 guys left in the dance. I'll be back next week gearing up for the LTA Championship!!!
