The Malcolm Mitchell versus Julian Edelman matchup on MNF determined the fate of Inscrutable Drama Kings’ first round, and in the end, Monkeys snuck out with a close victory behind Kirk Cousins, DeSean Jackson, and Mitchell’s MNF heroics. However, having only topped 100+ in one of the last five weeks, Evan’s team seems ill equipped to fend off Jammers, who haven’t gone under the century mark since WK7, and threw up 144.7 (non-counting) points during the bye. Should Monkeys just concede now?
Fat Jubas (9-4) vs Battle Angel (7-6)
With both teams floundering in round one, Battle Angel used a 21.7 point outburst from Jeremy Hill to edge out Ping’s team, who didn’t have anyone except Caleb Sturgis, the kicker, go over double digits. Now Vu gets to face the Spunky Misunderstood Geniuses division winner, a team that averaged 109.3 ppg (to just 98.1 from Angel) this season. Battle Angel’s hopes ride on anther quiet week from Jubas' David Johnson and Mike Evans, while simultaneously hoping Drew Brees and TY Hilton are enough to fend off Matthew Stafford and Emmanuel Sanders, plus LeGarrette Blount versus Jeremy Hill. Actually, this could be quite the matchup! Can Fat Jubas make their fourth Super Bowl in six years? Or will Battle Angel make a return appearance to the big game (their last one was in 2013)?
Toilet Bowl
#2 Dirty Birds (5-8) vs #4 Fobsters (3-10)
Nothing exciting here, as Fobsters neatly dispatched top seed Athena Nike behind a huge Tom Brady game and also a Carlos Hyde and Jordy Nelson cherry on top. The Dirty Birds had home field advantage and used every inch of it to crush Gang Green 116.8 - 63.9. Last year’s champs could win a Toilet Bowl again (they won in 2014), or Fobsters could get over the hump after losing out to Buffy in the fight for the #1 overall pick last season -- they won in 2013. Either way, both of these teams have had Toilet Bowl success, and another Chinese school rivalry lives on!
