Super Bowl XIV Preview

Super Bowl XIV Preview Mosquito Repellant Advised Welcome to Super Bowl XIV of the Santa Barbara Raider Fans Fantasy Football League. This year’s championship contest features the newO SWAMP and the Los Angeles River of Los Olivos. The SWAMP (no Super Bowl wins) won last week by the skin of their teeth, 72-71 over the Cupcakes of Koepke. Baltimore tailback Mark Ingram II led the way and newO got just enough to overcome DeShaun Watson and the rest of the Cupcakes.

And the Bills are the third-best against the pass. Yep. And Jackson tore up the Patriots. The Receivers other stud, Alvin Kamara, faces the Niners and their stout defense. On closer inspection, the Niners give up over 100 yards a game on the ground, but have allowed only 6 rushing touchdowns this season. And Kamara has found the end zone only twice (!) this season, both times in week 3 against Seattle. So, of course, Kamara will find it twice this week, because that makes no sense at all.
