Consolation Bracket Week 15, 2016

(7) Cow - Bye - $$$ (Lucky Loser Participant)

(8) LaRon - Bye - $$$

(10) Chad - (6-8) Vs (11) Pitch - (6-8)

Power Rankings 9th vs 8th

These two have matched up 24 times since 2004.  The series is tied 12-12.  Chad has won 5 of the last 6, but Pitch won the last time they played in 2015.

Only Chad can start a season 0-8 mired in misery, agony, and dismay only to turn it around and rattle off 6 straight wins.  Since week 7, Chad has put together 100+ scoring in 7 of 8 games, scoring 126 & 131 the last two.  Chad's Consolation Bracket record is 10-6

Pitch seems to either score big or very little.  There's not a whole lot of in-between it appears.  He did win 3 of his last 5 after losing 4 straight.  He is, however, coming off a poor 70 point output week 14.  Pitch does have one thing going for him in this one, he's 8-4 (3rd highest winning % in Consolation Bracket standings)  all-time in Consolation play.

Pitch favored by probably a point or two once he fills out his roster, but it looks like this one could be close.

(9) Rick - (7-7) Vs (12) Ryan - (6-8)

Power Ranking 15th vs 12th

1st meeting.  

Rick began the season 4-1, then 3-3, and finished the season 0-3.  Definitely limping into this game and hasn't scored 100+ in 5 weeks.  It's not all doom and gloom though.  There have been some very quality wins during the season.

Ryan graciously joined us mid-season taking over a team that was 1-4.  Since that, he's managed a 5-4 record and salvaging a lost season for that team.  He's won two straight, snapping a 4 game losing streak, and has scored 100+ the last two weeks.

Ryan is currently favored +6, but both teams have players that they may or may not play due to injury so the projections will change on that.
