Week 17: Finger Bowl 21 preview

Ham N Eggers (10-6) at Serkus Act (12-4)

At Newman Field, Baraboo, Wis.

Playoff history: The 2014 division champions meet for the first time in a Finks League Finger Bowl championship. Serkus owner Goff is 7-8 in the postseason while the Eggers' Miazga is 4-7-1.

Previous meeting: Serkus 54, Eggers 53, Week 3

The skinny: Goff has never faced Miazga in a Finger Bowl, but a connection to the Miazga family remains. Goff defeated Dublin Brawlers owner Kris Herigodt, Miazga's wife, in Finger Bowl 17 in 2010. Serkus won 40-17. Goff ties former Finks owner Matt Simo by making his fifth Finger Bowl appearance. Serkus is looking for its third title in six years after winning in 2009 and 2010. With the victory, Goff would join Simo and Mike Wilcox as the only Finks owners to win three Finger Bowls. Goff picked up his seventh career playoff win in the semifinals, moving into sole possession of second place among Finks owners. Simo has nine playoff wins. Goff passed Mike Wilcox, who had six.... Miazga extends his mark by making his fourth consecutive Finger Bowl appearance, but is still looking for his first win. He won his first division title this season. Miazga is already tied with Chris Traczek for the most Finger Bowl losses by an owner. Traczek has one title, but lost the Finks final in 1998, 2005 and 2008. The Eggers set a league record by scoring 853 points in the regular season in 2014.

Probable starters: Eggers -- Ryan ATL, Charles KC, Forte CHI, A. Brown PIT, Gronkowski NE, Gostkowski NE. Serkus -- Stafford DET, Murray DAL, Foster HOU, Sanders DEN, Beckham Jr. NYG, Parkey PHI.

The pick: Serkus 45, Eggers 40
