Ultimate Dynasty Bowl III

This is the moment

When all I've done

All the dreaming

Scheming and screaming become one

It's already Ultimate Dynasty Bowl III weekend somehow. A season that seemingly flew by and has left the majority of us in disappointment, now comes down to one final game. A game where one team will capture the league's ultimate prize and their place in Ultimate Dynasty history. While the losing team will be left to wonder what might have been as the pain of coming so close lingers over them for the next seven months. 

This is the game of all games, and it goes without saying this is the biggest game in both franchises' history, but before forecasting a result, let's recap how they got one win away from the top of the mountain.

How they got here: Scott's Tots - A year after finishing 11-2-1 in the regular season and securing the #1 seed only to get upset in the divisional round, the Tots kept the majority of their core together hoping that a returning from injury Julio would be enough to put them over the top... so far it seems like they were right. The Tots ravaged the league putting together another 11 win season (on the back of a 5 game win streak to close out the year)  while also winning their 2nd consecutive division title. They returned to the playoffs in a very familiar position as the #1 seed matched up against a division rival that had swept him in the regular season. While the Tots didn't put up their best game, their streak of having no opponent score 100 or more points against them continued and that was enough to punch a ticket into their first ever Ultimate Dynasty Bowl. 

How they got here: I Don't Get Tired - What an amazing season it was for Kory Adams and the I Don't Get Tired franchise. After failing to make the playoffs the first two seasons and seemingly always playing second fiddle to the Miami Sharks in their division, I Don't Get Tired just took over in 2014. The 11 win club led by superstars Murray, AJG, and Gronk jumped out of the gate on a 10 game win streak and a historic 10-0 start. There were rumblings of a perfect season all around the league, but whether the pressure got to him or variance had a way of catching up with his squad they proceeded to drop their next three games (including one against the Tots) before finishing the regular season with a win and sweep of the rival Sharks. They then proceeded to draw a terrible match up that saw them going up against CLO Collins' 3 time playoff, suddenly peaking, juggernaut of a squad. Most people, myself included, viewed Kory Adams as the underdog and thought his 10-0 start would be a nice story and footnote of the 2014 season, but be all for not. I Don't Get Tired had other ideas posting a convincing 111-84 postseason victory and secured their spot in Ultimate Dynasty Bowl III.

#2 I Don't Get Tired (11-3) VS #1 Scott's Tots (11-3)

All Time H2H Regular Season (2-1 Tots)

All Time H2H Post Season (First Meeting)

Scott's Tots: QB Tom Brady - Terrific Tom gets an unbelievable match up on paper against the struggling Jets' pass defense. The same pass defense he lit up for 261 yards and 3 TD's on a rainy Thursday night earlier in the year. However with that being said this game is in New York, a divisional game, and Rex Ryan isn't your typical lame duck head coach. I still think Brady should light it up with ease. 

I Don't Get Tired: QB Drew Brees - The guy that used to own the Super Dome has actually been very up and down as of late. A match up against Atlanta should be just what the doctor ordered though. While the Falcons did hold him to just 15 points on opening day, I would be shocked if he came out of this one with less than 20. 

Edge: Close to saying it would be a push, but I think Brees edges Brady out and should light up Atlanta. 

Scott's Tots: HB1 Matt Forte - Forte has been a consistent force this year for the Tots, but it seems as just when they need him the most he may not be able to deliver. Having a downright awful match up against Detroit, and now having The Jimmy as his quarterback...Let's just say it's going to be tough sledding for this man Sunday.

I Don't Get Tired: HB1 Demarco Murray - Just as the Tots are having trouble with their lead man in the backfield, IDGT is having some issues as well. While it looks like from what I've seen Murray will be suiting up this Sunday, you have to think a broken hand will reduce his touches, and it's probably going to be tough to be as effective. Bright side is Indy's run defense is nothing to write home about and Dallas should have some goaline opportunities in this one.

Edge: Give me the man with the broken hand over the guy that has Clausen as his QB and is running against Suh and co. any day of the week.

Scott's Tots: HB2 Eddie Lacy - Fat Eddie is going to eat against Tampa this Sunday. The only question is just how much will McCarthy let him eat playing in a game that should be a laugher while a pivotal division championship game hangs on the horizon in week 17. 

I Don't Get Tired: HB2 Jonathan Stewart - Who would have ever dreamed JStew would be the HB2 for a team in the Ultimate Dynasty Bowl this year. I know I wouldn't have, but as crazy as it seems he's a very solid HB2 with a nice match up against Cleveland...go figure.

Edge: Fat Eddie. If JStew outscores Lacy this Sunday then you will know there is no way the Tots captured a championship.

Scott's Tots: FLEX Brandon LaFell - Again I ask, who in their wildest dreams would ever have thought LaFell would be starting for an Ultimate Dynasty Bowl team. Well he is, and again he is not the worst start in the world this Sunday against a leaky Jets' secondary (also the possibility of no Edelman can only help). 

I Don't Get Tired: FLEX Julian Edelman - There are questions of whether Edelman would be able to go, in which case I guess Kory would break out SJAX for what could be his final relevant fantasy game ever. Let's assume Edelman is able to go, I'm not the biggest fan. While he has been more than solid the last few games his floor is frighteningly low and his ceiling doesn't get me going either. 

Edge: Somehow I think I'd rather have LaFell...I think.

Scott's Tots: WR1 Jordy Nelson - When you have to debate who to put at WR1 and WR2, you know the team is either stacked at WR or mediocre. In this case it is without a doubt stacked. Nelson missed out on some big plays against Buffalo's stingy pass defense, but don't look for that to be the case against a much weaker Tampa Bay unit.

I Don't Get Tired: WR1 AJ Green - Dealing with an illness this week (if Dalton was my QB I'd be sick too) AJG is still without a doubt top notch play at the position. While he draws an unfavorable match up against Talib, the Bengals do figure to throw a little more than usual and take some shots down field plus AJG is capable of beating any corner in this league multiple times any given Sunday.

Edge: Give me the better match up and the guy with Rodgers as his QB.

Scott's Tots: WR2 Julio Jones - Superstar in a fantastic match up, especially since Lewis seems to still be hobbled. The only problem is Julio is a little hobbled himself, however if he plays I expect him to be a solid WR1 in this match up.

I Don't Get Tired: WR2 Vincent Jackson - VJax's better days have come and gone and he now currently resides in an offense that can only support one WR and unfortunately he's not it. While he is still a serviceable option (kind of) he has failed to scored double digit fantasy points in 8 of his last 9 games. 

Edge: I don't even have to say it, but I'd take Julio on one leg over VJax on a motorcycle. (If no Julio then Douglas and VJax are pretty much a tie at sucking and I guess I go Douglas)

Scott's Tots: TE1 Jordan Reed - Reed has a nice match up and is capable of posting big days from the tight end slot. However the Skins are a mess and I think RG3 hates him so I wouldn't count on him exploding in this match up. 

I Don't Get Tired: TE1 Rob Gronkowski - The man the myth the legend. 

Edge: The Gronk of course. 

Scott's Tots: Defense Bills - Coming off shutting down Rodgers, the Bills should be fantastic against Carr and the Raiders. 

I Don't Get Tired: Defense Cardinals - The Cards are arguably one of Kory's most valuable players. Their floor is consistent and they've got nice upside, what more could you want in a defense.

Edge: Very close but I'll go with Buffalo. 

Kicker I don't care but I guess Tucker is the better start. 

The Pick: Both squads have had amazing seasons and are deserving of a championship. However there can only be one....

I'll take Scott's Tots in one heck of a game 100-99.
