This should be a straightforward game as far as strategy.
Big Money needs to keep the INYA ONYA offense off the field as much as possible. The more three-and-outs they can pull off, the better off the team will be in the long run. The Dynasty has one of the better collection of defensive starters in the league, but once they get worn down, the backups are easily the worst second string among the elite (or trying-to-be-elite-this-season) teams. The Dynasty also needs to execute a grind-it-out clock possession type game; thankfully, with the best rushing attack yardage-wise in the league, they have the talent to do exactly that. They need clock-killing drives, for touchdowns, and the need to get as far ahead of INYA ONYA as possible to survive the inevitible comeback when their defensive starters hit the sidelines for a breather.
On the flip side, INYA ONYA wants to do the same thing for pretty much the same reason. They also need to keep Big Money's defense on the field for as long as possible to wear them down and get to the backups. If they're going to do so, the third quarter is the place to take their shots downfield. The ONYA has an elite passing game, but a few incompletions here and there could spell trouble.
This is Big Money's first game against an undefeated elite team that they might actually have a shot at winning. They beat INYA ONYA last season, but the ONYA have retooled since then and are a much better squad. This should be a pretty good game.
(This is pretty common knowledge, I don't feel I'm giving away any state secrets here.
