The team you should be scared of

We’ll have a breakdown of all of the playoff teams and their chances on winning next week. But heading into the playoffs, there is one team EVERYONE should be scared of…

The Cottonwood Hills Pricks.

A winner of 3 of their last 4, their 6-6 record does not reflect how scary this team is. Currently 3rd overall in points, the Pricks have the 2nd best average in the past 5 weeks (164.6 versus #1 average 166.9 of Avalon Park Assassins) but have scored over 170 three times in those part 5 weeks, more than any other team.
Why are the past 5 weeks so important? That’s when they traded for Drew Brees.

After starting the season hotter than a pistol, Brees had mini slump which included games of 14.6 and 19.7. Since then he has 4 games over 40 points, 2 of which went over 65 points. Probably more than any other player in fantasy right now (maybe Chris Johnson?), Brees has the ability to single-handedly win a fantasy week for his owner. Brees’ matchups in the playoffs, ATL, DAL, TB, are the #3, #12 and #4 teams respectively that QBs score the most points on. He chances to drop a 50+ point game every week of the playoffs are very, very good. That bodes well for success on a run to Championship.

Not only does Brees offer a great chance to win every week, the Pricks have 3 other studs that can pop off a big game or at least a bonus, no matter the opponent – Steven Jackson, Larry Fitzgerald and Jason Witten. Though these players have had ups and downs this season, their previous seasons show that 2 tds or 100 yards in a game is never out of the picture. Additionally, Sidney Rice and Rashard Mendenhall have proven to be studs now that have solidified major roles on their teams.

All of these points show that the Cottonwood Hills Pricks are to be seriously feared, perhaps the most feared, in the 2009 playoffs.

If they make it.
