The Patriots won the Superbowl for the 300th time. This was also only the 2nd Superbowl that I didn't watch. The other being the 2nd Patriots and Giants game. So, let's move on from this dynasty forever, please.
Kemp managed to predict the Superbowl exactly right. And, after his miserable start with the survivor, losers, and fantasy football, Kemp managed to put together a nice little season in the end. Well done Kemp.
Otherwise, Jim predicted the Rams to lose the Superbowl, and John predicted the Patriots to win. The Chiefs losing the AFC Championship game also scored points for Jim and Eplin. Oddly enough, although lots of people had the Saints in the Superbowl, no one had them losing the NFC Championship game.
With our individual awards and stats, noone had Patrick Maholmes winning MVP (obviously), or Nagy winning coach of the year. But, we had a few come true.
Most people chose Saquon Barkley to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year. Everyone but John.
Joe had Aaron Donald both winning DPOY and leading the league in Sacks. Hale and Eplin also had him for the DPOY & John had him leading the league in sacks.
Folden, Shawn, Munez, Rob, and Eplin all had Andrew Luck winning the Comeback player of the year award.
It was a rough year for some of the predictions this year. So, let's take a look at our final standings in this. Throughout all of this, the number in parenthesis is how many points you got in the standings.
Kemp 38 (12)
Eplin 34 (10.5)

Congratulations to Rob on his first Football God title. Congratulations to Munez on his highest finish yet. I'm attaching the final standings for everyone to review, on facebook. What you'll notice is the consistency. Rob didn't finish lower then a tie for 6th in any category this year. Pretty unreal.
Munez fluctuated wildly, but a couple of 1st and a 2nd insulated him from this. He narrowly pushed away of the 2nd-6th clusterfuck.
I was a bit in between, but I didn't fall below 3 points a tall, and finished with several double digit point finishes.
Folden did really well in many categories, but really poorly in his predictions. That was his big bring down. Joe was pretty consistent all around, but his biggest fault was not finishing higher then 3rd at all in any category. That hurt his bonus points badly, which ended up being the difference.
Hale would have been in 2nd instead of 6th if the Rams had won the Superbowl. That one hurts.
Also Folden and Joe tied for 4th. So how do we resolve that for draft positioning?
The tiebreaker #1 is who had more 1st places in categories. Folden had 1 in pro pick'em, and Joe had none. So, that settles that.
