For the first time, it will be an all-KP championship game in one of our Expert Leagues. In the KP2 League, I edged John Hanson's team by a point and Greg whipped Scott Engel from ESPN to advance. Here are our teams. Feel free to chime in with any predictions.

GREG'S TEAM
QB -- Hasselbeck/Brady
RB -- Edge/Rudi Johnson/Foster/Shipp
WR -- DJax/Houshmandzadeh/Horn/Moulds/Finneran
TE -- Gonzalez
K -- Kasay/Elam
D -- Panthers

TOM'S TEAM
QB -- Carr/Fitzpatrick/Bulger
RB -- Barber/Dunn/McGahee/Pinner
WR -- Kennison/Bryant/Mason/Jurevicius/Lelie
TE -- Cooley
K -- Reed
D -- Broncos

Greg's team is now 10-5 and third in points in this league. My team is 9-5-1 and fourth in points.

So who do ya all like?

TOM your in big trouble with no qb. FITZPATRICK might have lost his job. CARR has a bad matchup , but you dont have a choice. GOOD LUCK

Eddie, don't assume the QBs on my roster now will be the QBs on my roster when the weekend comes. ;)

Sorry Tom, I'm going with Greg on this one. Greg has much better receivers at this point and that Rudi/Edge combo is nice.

No need to apologize. This is another league where injuries have made an impact. Bulger/Leftwich were my QBs so obviously I've been forced to scramble there and this is another league where I lost Javon Walker so I've been mixing and matching WRs all year long (Kennison's been very good; grabbing Jurevicius when DJax went down proved to be huge and Mason's been solid and I had him and Jurevicius on my bench this week and still won).

I agree Greg has the better team on paper. We'll see what happens this weekend.

QB: edge to Greg unless Boller is still available ;) Greg +10 (tough not knowing who Tom will be adding)

RB: edge to Tom because of "Edge" decision as to how much he may or may not play, Tom + 8

WR: edge to Greg as Housh + Moulds and Finneran will likely be worth +10

TE: Cooley is hot but can he repeat that perf? Tom +4 as Cooley will find the end zone again and Gonzo will not

K: Greg +4

DEF: Tom +5

Greg by 7

The funniest part about it is that Carr actually outscored my other option (Brett Favre):

Carr 5.7
Favre 5.2

Truly pathetic...

So much of this is timing. Had I started Carr in a week where Barber and Cooley don't go off I'm sunk. But fortunately, I was able to get by with a bad QB because his start coincided with career games from Barber and Cooley. In another Expert League (KFFL Auction) I was first in points all season long and had a great team but then had my worst week of the season this week in the playoffs. The one week when I could least afford a bad week is the week I have one. Like so much in life, timing is everything in fantasy football.
