The Syracuse Blizzard won the franchise’s 4th Fantasy Bowl with a convincing 117-67 white out of the Dallas Armadillos. Dallas managed a respectable 67 points, but Syracuse obliterated the previous high score of 93 points scored in a Fantasy Bowl (by New Chester in 2005). 

The Blizzard’s 4th Fantasy Bowl Championship ties the record held by the Philadelphia Griffins, who have also won four Fantasy Bowls. Rather ironic considering Syracause’s top Fantasy Bowl performers (Peyton Manning with 31 points and LeShon McCoy with 23 points) were acquired via trade from the Griffins before this season. Griffins fans have to be looking at the scoreboard and wondering “what if.” 

Oregon defeated Happy Valley 53-42 in the consolation game for third place.

Syracuse’s strong showing has also pushed them into the lead in the overall points race. The Blizzard and Armadillos seem almost certain to finish 1-2 in the points race, but it will be too close to call entering the final week. Philadelphia and Mercer seem poised to win the final two prizes for high points of non-playoff teams.

The points race was a photo finish and tightened up considerably as the games progressed.

Oregon wins the points championship with 1,171 points. Orange County finishes one point back, at 1,170. If Adrian Peterson had broken that last run, not only would he have broken Dickerson’s record, he would have handed the points championship to Orange County. One play — that close.

Oregon’s 1,171 points is the third-highest season in league history, following the 2007 Orange Co. Beach Dudes 1,298 points, and 1998 New York Griffins’ 1,209 points.

The 2012 Fantasy Bowl champion Mercer Mustangs get nudged out of the points awards race with the Beach Dude’s surge of 109 points in the final week. Mercer finishes third with 1,168 — three points behind the winner. Four simple words sums this one up: Closest Points Race Ever.

Boston wins the top prize for points for non-playoff teams, with Miami taking the final award at second-best in non-playoff points.

1. BOB 1,171
2. OCD 1,170

No FFL owner is happier this Christmas than Mercer Mustangs owner Jim Waugh, who captured his first FFL Championship with a 77-66 win over the Big Oregon Bang. Drew Brees tied his biggest game of the year with 29 points to lead the Mustangs, who finish 14-1-1. Mercer’s loss and tie were to Orange County, who won Third Place via a 51-48 win over Happy Valley this week.

This was Mercer’s first-ever trip to the Fantasy Bowl, and the team’s fourth overall playoff appearance. Mercer won 3rd place in 1996 (55-43 over Pachyderms) and 1999 (61-54 over the Mud), and the Mustangs lost the 3rd place game in 2000 75-18 to the Griffins. In it’s history the Mercer franchise is also holder of two consolation points wins (2003, 2006) and twice finished last place in points (1998, 2004).

In this year’s points race, we go into the final week neck and neck (and neck). Oregon’s at 1094, and Mercer is 9 points back at 1085. Orange County is within striking distance at 1061 — 33 points off the lead. Boston (1023) and Happy Valley (1006) also cracked the thousand threshold this week but would need a miraculous week 17 to contend for the points crown. Miami (997) leapt ahead of the pack for a shot at the points consolation prizes.

The highest scoring team of week 17 also edged into the money: the Froglickers win 2nd overall points of non-playoff teams. FFL edges Mercer by 3 points for the final award. FFL scored 94 points to finish with 938 points, while MER scored 82 to finish at 935.
