MJMA v. CC
Starting off, we will look at the prime weapons for both teams.
On the ground
Both teams have feature backs, any of them a legit threat to break one at anytime. CC has El Flasho and Mark "Oilfield Trash" Leonard. They are ranked #3 and #4 respectively and are the best rushing combo in the league. The Rowdy duo recently ran wild on the very good defense of KK. MJMA has Sterling Farnsworth and Ferdinand Jackson. Ranked #26 and #12, the quiet thunder and lightning combo has also been taking care of business. Comparing the two combo's is difficult other than using pure stats. From a pure running aspect, the edge goes to CC RB's, but the dual threat ability of MJMA's Jackson evens it up.
In the Air
MJMA holds a clear advantage here with the second ranked air attack in the league with CC passing enough to keep opponents honest. CC, only throwing an average of 10 times per game, which, has been all they have needed with them being more run based. MJMA with its dual threat RB and multiple WR's throws over 30 times per game maintaining its balanced attack. The number one receiving option for CC barely has more yards than the number eight receiving option for MJMA. Between the teams QB's there is not really a comparison, with both of MJMA's at over 70% completion rates, vs the 50% completion rates of CC's.
The Oline
MJMA is among the league leaders in pancakes, CC is not to be underestimated. They can block, otherwise the rushing game would not be where it is. It may not be pretty, but they get the job done. However, MJMA's line is just more powerful.
Defense
Right off the bat its going to come down to how well MJMA's #1 defense can control the running attack of CC. They ran all over KK, who only allowed 68 ypg, and 1080 all season, and CC almost matched that total in the recent playoff game. MJMA however is a different story, only having allowed 12 ypg and 187 yards total all season vs the rushing attack. The CC defense is also dead serious and looking to show MJMA that they are for real.
Overall
CC is a good team and its going to come down to can they force their will on the best run defense in the league. I do not think that MJMA will abuse them like they have the rest of the league, as the two RB's are just that good. However, MJMA is likely just to powerful after you look at the other stats like FF's which are a real danger for the RB's of CC as they get more tired towards the games end. MJMA's offense is also likely too powerful for CC, and will wear them down with both the ground and air attacks as the game rolls on.
