Conference
Championships
NFC Championship
Sean Kennedy (7-6) at Eric Meyer (8-5)
After starting 0-2, the Eric won 8 of 10 games. Their loss in Week 13
snapped a 6-game winning streak as he finished the week in the bottom quarter
of the league in scoring. Eric will look to bounce back against Sean, who had a
4-game win streak earlier in the season and beat Eric 98.5-64.0 in their week 2
meeting.
AFC Championship
Danny Hatcher (9-4) at Cory Puffett (10-3)
Cory enters the playoffs with four straight wins, the longest active
streak in the AFL. Danny hopes to end that streak and earn his fourth straight
victory in a rematch from week 6, when he beat Cory 117.6-76.8. That game
marked one of just three times all season Cory failed to score triple digits.
