Congrats to the team of Mike Santos & Kurt Kuekes of Tulare, California as they won the 2019 NFFC Classic title and the $85,000 grand prize. Mike becomes the 16th different champion of the NFFC Classic during our 16-year history as he topped 56 other teams for the title. Mike finished with 684.6 points to top Matt Modica by 22.75 points for the title, with Gary Allen, Michael Edelman and David Webb rounding out the Top 5. The NFFC Classic paid the Top 10 finishers this year.

Congrats to Mike Santos, who also won the debut NFFC Silver Bullet Championship. Winning two national titles in the same season is quite a feat, especially coming one year after winning both the NFFC Platinum and the NFFC Diamond league titles. He has also won the NFFC Classic and the NFFC Primetime overall titles. Amazing work Mike & Kurt.

Mike Santos rarely plays the NFFC Classic as he has stuck to the 12-team format in the NFFC for the most part, but he took a team at the last minute to fill the New York Classic League 2 and went on to win the overall title. Amazing. He actually finished third in this league during the regular season in a loaded league that included the Top 2 point leaders during the regular season. Matt Modica won the Points Title after Week 13, with Joe DiGalbo finishing second overall.

Mike finished 8-5 in that league and qualified for the Championship Round with the third-most points, while entering Week 14 in 48th place. He quickly moved into the lead by scoring 228.3 points in Week 14 and never left the top spot. He scored 162.45 points in Week 15 to hold a 3.7 point lead over Kevin Guers before securing the title in Week 16 with 153.55 points. Matt Modica, the regular season points leader, finished second 22.75 points behind.

Mike drafted out of the 11th spot in the New York Classic League and started off with Michael Thomas and Todd Gurley before adding Chris Godwin in Round 3. Drew Brees became the difference maker in the Championship Round as he had the foresight to start him in Week 14. Here's a look at Mike's winning draft:

Coyote Miscreants:
11 1 Thomas, Michael WR Coyote Miscreants
18 2 Gurley, Todd RB Coyote Miscreants
32 3 Godwin, Chris WR Coyote Miscreants

Congratulations on a job well done fellas. Winning this with the silver bullet title is amazing. Plus overcoming Chris Godwin and Calvin Ridley injuries was a great job.
