The skinny: The 2016 Finks League championship features the Duerson Division champion (Eggers) against the runner-up (Fantasy)... The Eggers hope to defend their 2015 championship and become the league's first back-to-back champ since Goff won Finger Bowls 16 & 17... In his 19th season, Miazga has set three postseason league records with his sixth Finger Bowl appearance, his sixth consecutive playoff appearance and his ninth playoff appearance... The Eggers won Finger Bowl 22 with a 31-24 win over Quags... The Eggers' 89 points in the semifinals is an unofficial high for a Finks postseason. The regular season record for a single game remains 90 points scored by Simo's Chicago Blitz in 1995. ... Newton last appeared in the championship at Finger Bowl 13 in 2006 as the owner of Eye of Newt... He lost to the Ponz Scum, 34-19, in that final and also appeared in Finger Bowl 11.
In other postseason action, the Brawlers (9-7) meet the Distillers (10-5-1) for third place.
Projected starters: Fantasy -- Prescott, Blount, Powell, Evans, Crowder, Hauschka; Eggers -- Cousins, Peterson, D. Johnson, Beckham Jr., Kelce, Gostkowski.
