Is this the week that Rapids Plungers gets their first loss? Can HHH keep their 4 game winning streak going? Which of the six 3-2 teams will get to 4 wins? Good week ahead so let’s see who is going to get the W’s.
HHH (4-1) vs Pack Attack (1-4)
HHH is keeping the pressure on Rapids Plungers to keep on winning as one little slip up and they will be taking over the stop spot. They have won 4 straight games and they get the privilege of playing the last place team in Pack Attack. Also worth mentioning that they play them on a week when they have 4 starters on a bye. If there was such a thing as a slam dunk in Fantasy football.. this might be it!
Do you think I did enough to jinx the outcome by all but guaranteeing a HHH win?

Rapids Plungers (5-0) vs 16hrs Ahead of You!! (1-4)
So if you just looked at the records you would think this is another easy win for Rapids Plungers and we will have to look into next week to see if they will get their first loss but this 16hrs team is better then their record may point out so this is definitely a game I am going to be keeping my eye on!
Prediction:
Watson should out duel Minshew in this one however the WR groups are not even close as Rapids Plungers will continue to dominate at that position. Rapids Plungers just might try to win this one without a TE (I guess that is a luxury you have when you are 5-0) as Engram is out for tonight’s game and the FA’s at the TE spot don’t look great. There is one way that 16hrs wins this and it certainly could happen… but that is for D. Watson, A. Cooper and A. Kamara to account for 75 points. If they do that, I would pick the upset. That however is a lot to ask so I am going to go with the consistency of Rapids Plungers and their stellar WR play to keep them undefeated. Rapids Plungers gets win #6 in a close one!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:

Big Papa (3-2) vs U Don’t Know (2-3)
Big Papa has won three of their last 4 games and will be looking to keep it rolling against a U Don’t Know team that has lost three of their last 4 games. Injuries always play a factor and they will again this week for U Don’t Know as they will be without S. Barkley once again and most likely D. Jackson. This seems like a prime opportunity for Big Papa to keep things rolling!
Prediction:
I don’t see enough opportunities for points in this one for U Don’t Know. Look for Big Papa to dominate and move to 4-2 on the season.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 13
- Record: Advantage Big Papa at 9-4
- PPG Avg: Advantage HHH 117.46 to 1116.51
BIGBOY! (2-3) vs Sportsfreak (1-4)
The brother battle! I know there are a lot of these that happen throughout the season but this is always one of my favorites considering that BIGBOY! coach is the two time defending champ and likes to let people know about and Sportsfreak doesn’t want to hear about how good his baby brothers team is or maybe better word “has been”. This is a big game for Sportsfreak as they look to dig themselves out of this poor start while BIGBOY! is looking to make another run and what better way to start it then a victory over their big brother!
Prediction:
Both teams come into this week not at full strength thanks to bye weeks however the big question mark is for BIGBOY! and if D. Johnson will be able to go this week. Both QB’s, K. Murray for BIGBOY! and L. Jackson for Sportsfreak have on paper really good match ups and I expect them to have good games. The RB position for Sportsfreak is “UGLY” but they do have some big names at WR (JuJu and OBJ). I don’t expect a lot of points here but I think BIGBOY! does just enough to get the win this week over Sportsfreak.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 9
- Record: Advantage Sportsfreak at 6-3
- PPG Avg: Advantage Sportsfreak 115.83 to 110.93
DaUnderdog (3-2) vs Bossman (3-2)
The two highest scoring teams from a week ago square off in what should be a great game. DaUnderdog will be looking to win back to back games for the first time all season while Bossman is wanting to prove that last weeks offensive barrage was not a fluke. This has the makings of a “Game of the Week” material.
Prediction:
Bossman is hoping to get their top pick in T. Hill back this week and that certainly would go along way towards them pulling out the win. This is a really evenly matched game. If T. Hill does indeed play I think that is enough to push Bossman over the edge and to get the win. If Hill doesn’t play then my pick is DaUnderdog. For now, it is looking like Hill plays so I will say Bossman with the win.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 14
- Record: Advantage Bossman at 10-4
- PPG Avg: Advantage Bossman 119.72 to 112.50
pack slayer (3-2) vs PackMan12 (3-2)
Another meeting between two teams with identical 3-2 records however they seem to be going in very different directions. Despite their loss last week pack slayer has been playing some of the best football in the league the past three weeks while PackMan12 is still reeling from putting up a whopping 45 points last week. It is worth noting that prior to last week PackMan12 had been playing pretty well scoring 154 and 131 in weeks 3 & 4. That 45 is hard to forget but a win here might just help them put that score in the rear view mirror.
Prediction:
Both teams look to be at full strength with very little bye week complications to deal with. At this point it is hard to overlook what pack slayer has done the past three weeks. I expect that to continue this week and for them to come out with another W.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 8
- Record: Advantage PackMan12 at 6-2
- PPG Avg: Advantage PackMan12 129.32 to 118.31
teamAlaska (3-2) vs PackerFANatic7 (1-4)
teamAlaska will be looking for their third straight win as they go against a PackerFANatic7 squad that has got to be wondering what they did to deserve the bad luck they have had the past 4 weeks. If the trend continues however this week that would mean that PackerFANatic7 will be scoring more then 164pts. That would be tough for teamAlaska as they haven’t necessarily been dominating their opponents the past two weeks during this winning streak. Does PackerFANatic7 finally figure out a way to get the win or will teamAlaska get their third straight win?
Prediction:
I expect both of these two teams to outscore the Yahoo projections this week and I think that PackerFANatic7 finally figures out a way to get win #2 on the season. PackerFANatic7 by 12 points!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 2
- Record: Tied at 1-1
- PPG Avg: Advantage PackerFANatic7 100.50 to 94.89
Have a great week!
