Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Semi Final Round. Four teams are gone. All were bums. Eight teams remain, only two are any good. Let’s see how things shake out this week and what is all on the line.

#1 Touchdown Guy v. #5 Bruce
TDG is a former champion. Bruce is, was, and always will be a loser. TDG has endless firepower. TDG is projected 170 points. That is his projection. He hit 200 this year. TDG was electric all year. TDG did this with the Tall Josh Allen, D-Train, James Conner, Josh Jacobs, Puka, Kupp, Ladd, Tee, Evans, and Kittle. Godwin is on IR and Ridley is on the bench. TDG’s team is juicy thick. Bruce is bad. He doesn’t have much. Bruce is starting Noah Gray at TE. That’s bad. I think years of mismanagement has Bruce going home this weekend. Bruce has Brian Thoms, Nabers, and James Cook. Right now, TDG is a 39 point favorite in the semis. TDG wins this by a lot and is back in the big dance.

#2 Batman v. #3 JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons
I think Batman beat JD3 in the semis last year. History is likely to repeat itself. Batman has been solid all year. He did it without Olave too. The guy saw a resurgence out of his team during the second half of the season. De’Andre Swift is playing well, McBride is so hot, Bucky Irving has had big weeks, Achane and Kyren are stable backs, Zay, DeVonta, Jakobi, and Quintin all do things. The secret sauce, it’s Lamar. Lamar has been electric. The top two teams had elite QB play. JD3 doesn’t have that. Mahomes is very average. That is all it takes. JD3 is without Dobbins, Kamara, Diggs, Miles Sanders, Jonathon Brooks, and Roman Wilson. I don’t know how you can win without those guys. JD3 is going to need a miracle out of McLaurin, Chase, and Nico. Batman is a 23 point favorite and baring a major injury, Batman is back in the ship.
Consolation Bracket.

#7 CrossFit v. #10 PeePaw
These two teams are playing for a potential extra 1st or 2nd round pick. CrossFit collapsed hard. The QB decisions at the start of the year put him in a hole. Now he is looking to bury PeePaw in a similar hole. CrossFit has Hubbard, Barkley, St. Brown, and Rachaad White. The problem is Amari Cooper hasn’t been great, Demario Douglas is in his lineup, Deebo can’t catch, and Pat Freiermuth is starting as the TE2. PeePaw had high hopes then sold high. All he has is Justin Jefferson. He will need a lot of Jefferson to get it done. PeePaw has three first rounders next year already, I don’t think he picks up a fourth. CrossFit is a 32 point favorite and I think he gets it done.
v.
#8 Pistol v. #9 Daddy Wombat
Pistol went in on some trades and still ended up out of the playoffs. That is a bad look. What would look even worse is losing as a 36 point favorite. Pistol has Kyler, Ford, Gibbs, Sutton, A.J. Brown, G-Will, Chase Brown, Jayden Reed, and Davante. D.W. had a good run. He was clearly the best of the absolutely terrible teams. D.W. has Hurts, JSN, Jeudy, and Worthy. D.W. has a lot of filler players but not enough studs. Pistol gets it done this week.
Professor Pickum is 25-19 on the year.
