Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Championship Preview. This is it. The big one. The grand finale. This is what we all were waiting for. Unfortunately, one two teams will be celebrating. This should be a great weekend. Congratulations to our eventual champion and the team with the eventual 1.13 pick. Let’s get to it.
Championship Game
v.
#2 CrossFit v. #6 Batman
CrossFit won last year. Batman is looking to be the second team to win as a 6-seed. CrossFit has to be in the final year of his window. The aging team looks to bring home another championship. Batman is just entering his prime and win the first of many championships. Let’s look at a position by position breakdown. CrossFit has Dak and Batman has Lamar, slight edge to Dak if he preforms, but Lamar is more consistent. CrossFit has CMC Barkley, Ekeler and Moster. Batman has Cook, Kyren, Hubbard, and Achane. This all leans CrossFit. CrossFit has the best backs by far. CrossFit has Amari, Lockett, St. Brown, and Deebo. Batman has Jakobi, DeVonta, and Olave. This also leans CrossFit. CrossFit has Kelce and Batman has Njoku and McBride. This one also leans CrossFit. Batman has had quite the season, honestly, a real feel good story. But we are not living in a fairy tale. CrossFit is going to win this one by a million points. CrossFit is a 26 point favorite.
Before we leave this game, we were able to get a comment from each team. First, the challenger, “The Batman’s re ready for this Game! We feel fortunate to be putting it together at the right time, opportunity to play the best. . . means a lot. We are ready to bring our A-game.” A powerful message from Batman. We also reached out to CrossFit for comment, but he did not make himself available for media day. Something about not thinking Batman was a worthy foe. CrossFit does not seem to concerned heading into the Championship game, we will see how it pans out for him.
Third Place
v.
#1 JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. #5 Pistol
JD3 is coming off of a terrible loss. Pistol matched an equally bad loss. Either way, one of these two teams has to win. Let’s look at the matchups. JD3 had Mahomes, Pistol has Purdy. Neither QB is great right now. JD3 has Etienne and Pistol has Gibbs, that will be exciting. Who cares about the RB2. Pistol also has Kenny Walker and Javonte Williams. Pistol has the RB matchup based on numbers. JD3 has Chase, Diggs, Allen, Pittman, Collins, and D-Hip. Pistol has A.J. Brown, Sutton, Garrett Wilson, and Jayden Reed. The WR matchup goes to JD3, but A.J. Brown can close that gap all by himself. Tight ends, neither team has a TE, but Kincaid has the advantage over Otton. This should be a close one, JD3 is currently a 2 point favorite. This will be a great matchup.
Consolation Championship for Pick 1.13
v.
#7 PeePaw v. #10 Bottom Bunk
These two hate each other. This isn’t even about fantasy football. I’m talking real life hate. Let’s dive into the matchup. PeePaw has a QB issue, B.B. has Baker, that is a wash. B.B. has Breece and Bijan and that should be the deciding factor in the RB matchup. PeePaw has Lamb, Jefferson, and Adams. B.B. just has London and Pickens. The tight ends don’t matter. The matchup sounds closer than it will be, but PeePaw is a 40 point favorite. PeePaw is going to have pick 1.13.
Consolation Third Place for Pick 3.13
v.
#8 Trashman v. #12 Mush’s Mongrels
This is an ugly matchup. Neither team is projected to get 100 points. Trashman will probably not set his lineup. Mush knew this and is why he scheduled this matchup. Mush has Rachaad White and that is the only real player on his team. Mush is a 12 point favorite and I think he gets pick 3.13.
That does it for the matchups, now we get into the picks.

Good morning class, we have out 14th pop quiz for Professor Pickum.
Back on our 2-1 stuff (editor’s note this was a curse word, and that is not ok this close to the holidays). Let’s try to keep the momentum rolling and go perfect. Why not us?
Thank you for welcoming me into this prestigious newsletter in 2023. I hope you’ve enjoyed some winners along the way. Last week for the year let’s try to go out with a bang.
Cincinnati +7 @ Kansas City
Hypothesis
- Good chance Pacheco is ruled out
- Even if fully healthy this Chiefs team hasn’t proven to be worthy of being a 7 point favorite against anybody
Carolina @ Jacksonville -6.5
Hypothesis
- If the Jags can’t cover by at least a touchdown at home against the Panthers they don’t deserve to be a professional franchise
Los Angeles Rams -4.5 @ New York Giants
Hypothesis
- Rams have covered in their last 5 and I like them to make it 6 against the T Mobile led G-Men
Professor Pickum is 24-17 overall.
This has been quite the year, four years in and we are still going strong. Thank you all for your attention, I need it, it’s the only thing that keeps me going. Maybe some teams will pay more attention to their lineups next year. I will see you next week with a new champion, until then I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.
Let’s Go!
