Creative Misfortune's third "If Real Football Used Fantasy Scoring..." season has come to an end.
While the NFC Champion Chicago Bears saw their real-life playoff hopes take a major hit when they were crushed 54-11 by the Philadelphia Eagles, the AFC Champion New England Patriots rolled to a 41-7 victory over the defending Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens. Victory for the Patriots in Fantasy Bowl III may seem like a foregone conclusion, but in fantasy football, a team can lose in real life and still be victorious if the numbers add up properly.

*Bye-week Advantage - To reflect the benefit gained by the top 2 seeds in each conference getting a bye week before they host Divisional Playoff games, the four teams who earn these bye weeks in the fantasy standings will play Week 13 to gain bonus points that will be added to their score in the Divisional Playoff round. For every 4 points they score in their Week 13 game, they will receive 1 bonus point in their Divisional round matchup.
Since there are no bye weeks between the Divisional games and the Championship Games, bonus points will only be a factor in the Divisional playoff games.
