The championship round is here, and after months of chaos, bad decisions, and louder-than-earned confidence, we’ve somehow landed on the two teams that actually deserve to be standing.

The regular season nonsense is over, the flukes have been removed, and only consistency, timing, and a little luck remain.

One team has been inevitable all year, the other has been quietly lethal when it mattered most.

Trash talk has peaked, group chats are on edge, and suddenly everyone claims they “knew this would happen.”

This is the week where legacies are decided and excuses officially expire.

Second place gets nothing but screenshots and regret. First place gets the trophy, the bragging rights, and the satisfaction of being right when it counted.

Let’s crown a champion.

Week #17 has arrived!

PLAYOFFS - CHAMPIONSHIP

4th and Forever (20-8) vs WhosAfraidOfKittleOldMe (19-9)

Winner: WhosAfraidOfKittleOldMe

The championship matchup is set: 4th and Forever (20–8) vs WhosAfraidOfKittleOldMe (19–9), and both teams arrived here the same way — rested, confident, and ruthless.

4th and Forever cruised in after a first-round bye and promptly silenced the loud, annoying presence of Ceedee’s TD’s with a convincing 164.176–131.22 beatdown that the league thoroughly enjoyed.

On the other side, WhosAfraidOfKittleOldMe followed her bye with a dominant 173.20–137.60 win over 3rd and Juan, ending his improbable run without mercy.

This championship comes down to consistency versus momentum, confidence versus timing.

The commissioner is backing his wife to keep the trophy in Las Vegas and send 4th and Forever home with a second-place finish worth exactly zero dollars.
