HAM N EGGERS (10-5-1) vs. ULAN BATOR KHANS (11-5)
At National Sports Stadium, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Playoff records: Miazga 3-6-1, Wanberg 2-4
Head to head: Khans 48, Eggers 46, Week 7; Eggers 24, Khans 19, Week 11
The skinny: Not only is this the first Finger Bowl to be played in Mongolia, but it also features two longtime Finks League owners who have never won a championship. The Eggers' Miazga has spent 16 years in the league while the Khans' Wanberg is in his 17th season. ... This year's Finger Bowl also features two division runners-up, the Khans from the Favre Division and the Eggers from the Marino Division. The last time that happened was 2009 when Wanberg lost 37-31 to Goff's Serkus Act in Wanberg's only other Finger Bowl appearance. ... Miazga hopes to avoid becoming the NFL's Buffalo Bills with his third consecutive Finger Bowl appearance, but no wins. Buffalo lost four straight Super Bowls from 19991-94. Miazga lost last year's Finks League championship to Wilcox's Anthony Munoz and Cleopatra, 61-42. In 2001, he lost 66-61 to Cassidy's Lockport Distillers. ... This year's third place matchup features the Barrels (11-5) vs. the Distillers (11-5).
Projected lineups: Eggers -- P. Manning, Forte, Morris, Allen, Colston, Walsh; Khans -- Dalton, Cunningham, F. Jackson, Marshall, Green, Gostkowski.
The pick: Eggers 35, Khans 25
