9 Questions Heading Into '09

1. Can the Carolina Falcons 3 peat?

The Carolina Falcons have won in both '07 and '08 getting past the previously unbeatable Gators in the playoffs including a colossal championship upset in '07. So the question is can they do it again in '09? They have a pretty good nucleus this year featuring Turner, Westbrook, Boldin, and Roy Williams but with 12 teams in the league this year including a rejuvenated Kings team and a Gator team working harder than ever to get back on top. It'll be a tough road for the Carolina Falcons and I say there is NO CHANCE they will 3 peat in '09.

2. Can the Ducks and W. Dogs retain their playoff magic in '09?

The Ducks and W. Dogs were two of the feel good stories of '08 with both making the playoffs for the first time in their franchises histories and the Ducks even making it to the title game. Will they find similar success this year, the Ducks seem like a safe bet to see back in the playoffs with a very balanced team and featuring a stout receiver core of Fitz and Smith. Mean while the W. Dogs have a gaping hole at receiver and quarterback and one of their top two runners is the injury prone SJAX she still has a good team but I say the W. Dogs will miss the playoffs in '09 while the Ducks will renew their playoff tickets.

3. Will the Unbeaten Gators return to the top in '09?

After winning it all in '05 and '06 the U.Gators have fallen just short in '07 and '08. With the two year championship drought the Gators hit the research harder than ever and have fielded a team he believes is undefeated caliber. While undefeated may be hard to do this team looks like the front runner in '09 and I say will return to fantasy glory.

4. Can the Instant Classics make the jump from good to elite?

For the seasons he's played in the GFFL he's never failed to make the playoffs even when faced with the Brady fiasco last year. Is this the year he goes from good to elite? While it's possible with some great in season management I don't see it happening while I think he will be a playoff team he will fall short of joining the elite this year unless Ochocinco returns to his old self and can lead an unexciting receiving corp.

5. Will the Kings end their 3 year playoff drought?

After not making the playoffs since the first year of the league the Kings should easily break the playoff barrier and for the first time in a while look like serious contenders. Using that old Gator approach of building a dominant 3 man backfield he should taste success.

6. 6 Best Bets to make the playoffs?

U.Gators, Kings, Ducks, I.Classics, Rayz, P.Cobras the shocker no Carolina Falcons this year. I believe the two time defending champ will miss out on the playoffs.

7. What newcomer looks primed to have the most success?

Purple Cobras look the best team wise, but I wouldn't count out Essick I think he'll bring a lot to the table as a GM of his team.

8. Who will be the worst team in '09?

No contest, the Rednex. This team may be hard pressed to score 70 points let alone a game. A lack of superstars or stars in general should make this team a doormat for the rest of the league this year. If he wants to get better he needs to start making some transactions quick.

9. '09 Championship Game?

U. Gators beat the Kings in one of the most hyped finals in GFFL history with the Kings stealing the old Gator way to get here the Gators will show him there's a reason he's moved on from that.
