I'm not suggesting Adrian Peterson has been getting "outside help." But, perhaps the best measure of how unexpected Adrian Peterson's season has been is in the pre-season predictions. According to the CBS website, which admittedly stinks, the three "experts" predicted as high as 1213 yards for AD. He has passed that by 599 yards with two games left to play. And so as he has carried the Vikings back into relevance, so he has also carried Semi-P in a minor upset of Dale's Doormats. Peterson and Gore combined for 38 compared to the Doormats' dynamic duo of Martin and Foster, who combined for 18. Margin of victory in the game? 20 points. Or is it 26? Still waiting on the league website to award Gore a TD on the fumble recovery. In either case, the RBs were the difference. And so Dale's Doormats move onto the Constipation Bowl after a stirring season that saw them battle tooth and nail with Semi-P for the division title and the Chamberlain title. Each team won one title, but only one can win the Enchilada. Will that be Semi-P?
...and decided that they stink from every single one. Semi-P got a respectable game from Matt Ryan, 270 yards and 3 TDs, the biggest recipient of that was Julio Jones, who they will play against in the Enchilada Finals as the Red Bandits somehow upended the Hundering Turd. Interestingly, Sam Bradford on the bench set a career high with 377 passing yards and had 3 TDs from the Semi-P bench. Their receivers continue to struggle, with Austin and Rice each getting just 7 points. Will Gronkowski be back for the finals? Will Cecil Shorts work his way into the lineup? After missing the Jets game in week 14, he was back with 101 yards receiving against Miami. He's now had 10 or more points in 5 straight starts, 7 of his last 8 and 9 of 13 overall.
The Red Bandits, meanwhile, overcame another attrocious game from Eli, mainly thanks to Julio, Janikowski and Seattle D (again). Reggie the Vacator and "Hard Hittin' Jason Witten" were both in double-digits and that was enough. Of major concern for the Bandits, Eli was in the single-digits for the fourth time in the last 7 games and he has just two games with 20+ since week 5 (and just 5 out of 15 overall).
So how will the Enchilada Finale go?
Eli vs Ryan has to be a big edge for Semi-P. The Giants face the Ravens though, who are 26th in the league in overall yards allowed and 22nd in passing yards allowed, though 13th in points allowed. Ryan faces a Detroit D that is 28th in the league in points allowed, though just 8th in passing yards allowed and 12th in overall yards allowed.
Peterson and Gore for Semi-P figure to have a big edge over Reggie the Vacator and Bilal Powell.
Julio Jones is easily the best WR in the group, but does having him go against Matt Ryan favor Semi-P or the Bandits? Depends on how much Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez do.
Witten is better than Martellus Bennett, but if Gronkowski plays, again a big edge to Semi-P.
Bandits have the edge at K with Janikowski vs Mare and at D with Seattle vs either San Diego or Dallas. But Seattle plays San Francisco, a tough team to get defensive points against, and while Dallas plays New Orleans, San Diego plays the Jets who just gave up 17 points to the Titans D.

Yep, the tale of the tape seems to confirm what is obvious to the naked eye - Bandits best chance is to start drinking heavily.
Jamaal Charles leads Pep & Cheez to a 93-0 victory over TBA. He was the only KC player to finish the fantasy season on any team's roster. Great Googly-moogly indeed! P&C, finished for the season of course, finished the season with the second-most points in the league despite having 71 points on the bench just from Seattle QB, DeAngelo Williams and Darren Sproles.
They don't call him "Big Ben" for nuttin! And he showed why, putting up 25 points on 339 yards passing and 2 TDs, leading the Camel Jockey bench to a 70-67 victory over the Sprockets. Unfortunately, the Jockeys' starting team put up a mere 66 and will once again be planning for next year's Draft Dominator updates (c) 2002.
Aaron Rodgers shows you how swollen he got after his. Nevertheless, he was able to lead the Sprockets to a 67-66 victory over the Camel Jockeys, with just enough help from Shonn Greene (35 second-half yards and 68 overall provided the winning margin) the former Camel Jockey traded earlier this season. Yes, Anquan Boldin and Lawrence Tynes combined for zero points, as did Danario Alexander for the CJs.
Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
So be good! For goodness sake!
See you on the other side my friends!
