At Three Rivers Stadium, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Playoff record: Herigodt, Brawlers (3-1); Miazga, Eggers (6-8-1)
Head to head: Brawlers 28, Eggers 23 (Week 7); Eggers 65, Brawlers 60 (Week 12)
The skinny: Eggers owner Miazga won his first Finger Bowl title in 2015 and will attempt to become the first repeat champion since Goff's Serkus from 2009-10.... This semifinal marks the first playoff battle between the league's only husband-wife owners, which should make for interesting football watching this weekend at the family's Elmhurst home.... The Brawlers-Eggers finshed 1-2 in their division in 2015.... The Brawlers and Eggers also reached the postseason in 2011 when the Eggers placed second... The Eggers are powered by their RB combination, among the best in the NFL this season.
Projected starters: Eggers -- Cousins, D. Johnson, L. Bell, Beckham Jr., Eifert, Bryant; Brawlers -- Brady, McCoy, Freeman, Adams, Mitchell, Janikowski.
The pick: Eggers 45, Brawlers 30.
Just a Fantasy (8-6-1) at Lockport Distillers (10-4-1)
At East Campus Field, Lockport, Ill.
Playoff record: Newton, Fantasy (8-6-1); Cassidy, Distillers (3-2-1)
Head to head: Tied 28-28 (Week 13)
The skinny: It could be another close battle after the two teams provided the only draw in the league this season.... The Distillers raced out to the best record in the league, but could be hampered by the unknown injury status of RB M. Gordon SD.... Distillers owner Cassidy won a Finger Bowl title in 2011. Fantasy's Newton seeks his first league title since joining in 2002. He placed second in '06 and '04.
Projected starters: Distillers -- Brees, Rawls, D. Murray, Fitzgerald, Crabtree, Crosby; Fantasy -- Prescott, Blount, Powell, Evans, Crowder, Hauschka.
The pick: Distillers 40, Fantasy 35.
