Superbowl Predictions

I originally predicated the the game would be Broncos vs Panthers. They're both in thew playoffs, but I don't think the Panthers are going anywhere pass the Divisional Round. I think the knew Superbowl matchup is the Baltimore Ravens vs. the Seattle Seahawks and the Ravens take the victory.

Fantasy Football NFL.com 2014 League Champ!!!



In my first season of Fantasy Football, I became the league champ. I joined a league on NFL.com. There's tons of leagues on the website; I was in league 2482306. It is a normal league with nine other teams. Sadly, since it was my first time playing it, I didn't join a money league, but either way, it was still enjoyable. The other teams in my league were: ravens 14, Ninja Turtles, Muenez, Eagles2015, Dragons, JMuenez Ravens Fan, wildcats, team iggy, Ballers, and my team, The Gauntlet (after my last name: Gauntner). Here are true standings below.

1+1 10-4-0.714L191,353.101,226.98
2+1 10-4-0.714W2101,367.861,186.14
3-2 10-4-0.714L281,311.621,011.80
4 9-5-0.643L171,013.601,084.96
5+1 7-7-0.500W261,112.721,127.88
6+1 7-7-0.500W151,194.081,102.70
7-2 6-8-0.429L241,145.341,129.36
8 4-10-0.286W331,176.101,350.08
9 4-10-0.286W121,033.261,154.28
10 3-11-0.214L91813.081,146.58

In the regular season, I went 10-4 tying for first place and led the league in scoring with 1,353. I beat the Ninja Turtles twice plus once more in the playoffs. My hardest competitor was ravens 14 (I also hate the name). I lost to them twice by a small margin each time. I also played them in the championship game beating the team 110.32 to 85.42. Thanks to Antonio Gates and Odell Beckhan Jr. Mt final roster, at the end of the season was… 

  • A. RodgersQBGB
  • A. MorrisRBWAS
  • C. AndersonRBDEN
  • T. HiltonWRIND
  • S. WatkinsWRBUF
  • A. GatesTESD
  • O. BeckhamW/RNYG
  • A. VinatieriKIND
  • ColtsDEFIND
  • P. ManningBNDEN
  • M. AsiataBNMIN
  • M. BryantBNPIT
  • L. FitzgeraldBNARI
  • J. GordonBNCLE
  • H. MillerBNPIT

A cool fact about my team is that I was predicted to go 3-11 and be in last place, they were wrong. This season was exiting and I can't wait until next year when I'm in a money league!
