(The Super Bowl Tournament is a single elimination tournament. Win and you move on, lose and you’re eliminated. Higher seed means you have home field advantage and advance in case of a tie. Note: Final tournament brackets are no longer set but adjusted each week so lowest seed plays highest seed.)
Super Bowl XXI Match (Week 17):
First-time Winner – In a close battle between two great competitors and friends, My Wife Loves Jimmy G edged out Fearless Tuna by 5 points to win it by a final score of 27-22. The two finalists were evenly matched and had nearly the same picks as each other. In fact, they only had two differences when their picks were turned in. One difference was on Saturday and one difference was on Sunday. The first was with the Over / Under which was for the Saturday night game. Fearless Tuna got it correct with Under and thus took a 1 Point lead going into Sunday. The second difference was for the Sunday night game, with Fearless Tuna having Minnesota and My Wife Loves Jimmy G having Green Bay. Green Bay won the game easily by a score of 33-10, thereby giving My Wife Loves Jimmy G the valuable 6 Point prize and the 5 point margin of victory. Congrats to My Wife Loves Jimmy G on having such a great run through the tournament and winning the 2023 Super Bowl Head to Head Championship. And congrats to Fearless Tuna on finally returning to the Super Bowl final for the first time since the 2010 season.

What’s at stake: A spot in The Football Club Hall of Fame as the 2023 Super Bowl Champion.
Super Bowl Tournament history: The Super Bowl Championship match between Fearless Tuna and My Wife Loves Jimmy G is sure to be an epic final Head to Head battle to wrap up this season. Fearless Tuna is now a 3-time Super Bowl finalist, having lost both previous appearances to then champion The Rickster. In 2005, The Rickster defeated him 25-13 and in 2010, The Rickster defeated him 22-14. So it has been a long time since Fearless Tuna has made it this far and he’s hoping that the third time will be the charm. As for My Wife Loves Jimmy G, he is a second year player in the club and thus we can only look back on his Super Bowl Tournament result from last season. And last season, he did very well. My Wife Loves Jimmy G made it all the way to the Conference Round before he lost to eventual champion Rad Dad 32-26. To analyze how this season’s championship match might turn out, let’s take a look back at the performances of the two players so far in the Super Bowl Tournament. In the Wild Card Round, Fearless Tuna def. Captain Insano 23-14 while then Week 14 MVP My Wife Loves Jimmy G def. Roadrunner 32-19. So both players had fairly easy victories but My Wife Loves Jimmy G had a larger margin of victory, winning his match by 13 Points. In the Divisional Round, Fearless Tuna squeaked by Mr. T by 1 single Point, winning the match 30-29. Meanwhile, My Wife Loves Jimmy G crushed New York City Sewer Rat by 17 Points, winning the match 28-11. However, the margin of victory can be a little bit misleading there, because Fearless Tuna actually scored more Points for that week. And that brings us to the Conference Round, which took place last week. And this has to be one of the stunning results we have ever seen in Conference Round matches. Both Fearless Tuna and My Wife Loves Jimmy G were co-winners of the Week 16 MVP Award during the Conference Round. As a result, Fearless Tuna def. Captain Jack Sparrow 27-17 and My Wife Loves Jimmy G def. Viking Blood 27-22. With so much on the line, both players stepped up and made some of their best picks of the season, thus resulting in MVPs, Conference Round victories, and a meeting the following week in the Super Bowl. This has a set up an absolutely titanic showdown this week between the reigning MVPs, which is something we have probably never seen before. During the Super Bowl Tournament, Fearless Tuna has posted an average score of 26.7 Points per week. In contrast, My Wife Loves Jimmy G has posted a slightly better average score of 29.3 Points per week. This is two players at the top of their game, meeting head-on with the Super Bowl Championship on the line. But only one can emerge as the winner and hold the trophy up high in celebration. Based on their average scores during the tournament and their seeding, I would have to establish My Wife Loves Jimmy G as a 3 Point favorite. My Wife Loves Jimmy G has clearly been the best player in the club the last few weeks. But with his past failures in mind, Fearless Tuna is no doubt going to go all out and attempt to make the best picks of his life. And in one final dramatic twist, only one single Point separates them right now in the Current Standings. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out on the field this Sunday and who becomes our 2023 Super Bowl Head to Head Champion.
