The History of Birthday Week Magic
The belief is that Birthday Week Magic is a blessing that falls upon to a person celebrating their birthday. The blessing comes in the form of an automatic win for your Fantasy Football team that week. Since the inception of the league (2012) the results of birthday week for the 10 league members goes like this.
