MNF Week 15- what do you need to advance in the playoffs? (1 Viewer)

I’m a lock for the playoffs, but the 1-seed is on the line tonight. 4 playoff team, 1 playoff week, then LCG.
I’m up 3.2 points. My opponent has Jalen Ramsey, I have AJ Dillon.
The 1-seed picks their opponent in the 1st (and only ) round. Week 16, there are no easy outs (top 4 scoring teams made the playoffs) but there’s one team with great matchups, and one team with terrible matchups.
Obviously that makes winning the 1-seed huge, and absolutely effects my chances of advancing to the LCG.
So I need AJD to outscore Ramsey in PPR with 2 point tackles & 5 point Ints.

GB defense to score next to nothing tonight or Mayfield and Co to put up a ton of points and yards with no turnovers.

Gonna be close. I think with the 3.2 point lead you should edge it out, especially if Dillon gets a TD.

Seems extremely doable. 6 point TDs?

Oooh. I like it. Defintely potential for the selected team to take it personal. Imagine if the NFL playoffs were like that
Anyway, good luck!

20.5 points from Watson and GB D. Our D scoring is pretty useless 2-4 points most teams average. Fingers crossed.

It's a great rule, and one I unashamedly take full credit for.Oooh. I like it. Defintely potential for the selected team to take it personal. Imagine if the NFL playoffs were like that
One year the WC came from my division, and with the imbalanced schedule that meant I had to play that team 3x. I hated that - it wasn't fair to the team I swept 3-0 to advance to the LCG.
And it also occurred to me that the WC may not necessarily be "the worst" team, though that's often the case. And as such, it's not really a benefit to the 1-seed if they have to play the 2nd toughest team, which is certainly possible.
FF has no "home field advantage" to the winningest team, so I proposed a "pick your poison" rule, where the 1-seed chooses their opponent. And yes - there is also great potential for hilarity and butt hurt.
We've already had 2 years in the last 5 when the 1-seed screwed themselves. It's great fodder for league comedy & ball busting.

I need Aaron Jones to outscore C Watson in one league and need for Watson to put up some good points in another.

.5 from GB's defense and I had that a few minutes in. I was #3 and the #6 team gave me all I could handle.

4. Currently down 5.66. Really need 1 more TD, but not sure they're going to come out throwing with the score the way it is.

Needed the Packers defence to get more than minus one point to secure the #1 seed. Got that, was more recently hoping for some sort of late scoring correction to overturn a first round loss. Only needed something like one lateral to be called a reception to be good :(

I needed him to stay under 24. Gets tackled at the 1 and Packers kneel down from there. TD and I lose. Gotta love FF

Nice, I needed a nice game from him and he came through w/ 25.85pts. We were down 9.15 going in and my opponent had Higbee, once Dillon went out I knew we had a chance and Jones delivered, we won by 4.CongratsI need Aaron Jones to stay under 31 pts (half PPR).

Ah, the two sides of the FF spectrum. Dillon goes out and I'm cursing my fate and it's a positive for you.Nice, I needed a nice game from him and he came through w/ 25.85pts.
