Starrfavrerodg (2-1) vs Pack Attack (0-3)
So you would think that a veteran team like Pack Attack who has been playing in this league for 17 years would have the edge over the rookie team playing in their 4th week right!? Nope! Starrfavrerodg has their team playing well and Pack Attack can’t seem to catch a break with regards to injuries this season so Starrfavrerodg is certainly the favorite in this meeting. I had to come back to this matchup because as I was writing the preview it was announced that the Steelers/Titans game has been PPD. That has the most significance for Pack Attack as they lose Roethlisberger and JuJu but Starrfavrerodg also loses J. Conner and C. Davis. Both managers have to adjust and looks like Pack Attack is looking for some Fitz”magic” to help because we know they are going to need something to turn their season around!

16hrs Ahead of You!! (1-2) vs DaUnderdog (0-3)
There are two big items to discuss in this one. #1 for 16hrs they are trying to get to win #2 on the season. Why is that a big item? Because the last time they got to win #2 on the season was in Week 4 of the 2018 season. Yes, that is two years ago. Overall in their last 22 games they are 2-20! I tell you that because I think this team has a real shot this year…. at 3 wins! 🙂 Now to DaUnderdog… starting 0-3 was clearly not what they had envisioned going into the season and let’s just say I hope that their real estate investments work out better then their fantasy football team! So I am having some fun with this one and both of these coaches know where to find me 🙂 but in all seriousness this is a big game for both teams. An 0-4 start doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room for the remainder of the year if you are DaUnderdog while 16hrs would love to get back to .500 on the season and start putting together some wins!
Prediction:
So which M. Ryan and Julio Jones will show up in this one? Will Julio Jones show up at all (injury)? That is the big question for this one but for the sake of the prediction I am going to assume he is playing. I think L. Jackson gets back on track this week for DaUnderdog and Allen Robinson should benefit with a real QB throwing him the ball this week but I don’t see that being enough. I am going with 16hrs to get the win and do something they haven’t done in a long time.. get win #2!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 18
- Record: Advantage DaUnderdog at 10-8
- PPG Avg: Advantage 16hrs Ahead of You!! 102.26 to 102.07
Big Papa (2-1) vs Rapids Plungers (1-2)
Big Papa comes into this one fresh of the “crazy” stat correction win last week! This has to give them a bit more momentum this week as I am sure they were feeling a bit down after what was thought to be a loss last week! Rapids Plungers also is coming into this game with a lot of momentum and are looking to build on last weeks 153 point outburst. This one has the making to be a really good matchup. In fact, if you are someone that pays attention and cares about the Yahoo projected scoring then this is projected to be the top two scoring teams in the league this week and they are going head to head!
Prediction:
In looking at this game I can see why yahoo has it so high scoring as there are some players with really outstanding “go off” kind of potential. The one area that I think Yahoo has it wrong is the QB position. I think Watson finally has the type of game that Rapids Plungers has been waiting for and Prescott cools down a bit (This is Ezekial Elliott’s week to shine). I expect this to be close and once again come right down to the wire but I think Big Papa finds a way to win here and move to a solid 3-1 on the season.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 12
- Record: Advantage Big Papa at 7-5
- PPG Avg: Advantage Big Papa 118.64 to 118.57
BIGBOY! (2-1) vs Sportsfreak (0-3)
As I was thinking about this one initially this morning (pre-stat correction) I was thinking how fun of a game this was going to be. Two brothers going head to head. One hasn’t lost and one hasn’t won! Which one comes out on top!? Now granted, BIGBOY! still has two wins and Sportsfreak still is winless so this game for sure means a lot more to Sportsfreak at this point but I think there is something deep down inside that BIGBOY! would kind of enjoy sending their big brother to a 0-4 start!
Prediction:
It is interesting that BIGBOY! just lost their game last week on a stat correction and now here we are in week 4 and Yahoo currently has BIGBOY losing this week by a score of 126.85 to 126.86. Could we see our first ever tie!? Wow, now that is going to be quite the day when we see that happen! I am not thinking that will happen here but Sportsfreak’s roster looks a lot better when D. Adams and G. Kittle are in it! Assuming both of those players do play I like Sportsfreak to get their first win of the season! If one of them misses then I think BIGBOY! gets the win.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 10
- Record: Advantage Sportsfreak at 7-3
- PPG Avg: Advantage Sportsfreak 120.55 to 111.65
Bossman (3-0) vs PackerFANatic7 (1-2)
Bossman has been dominating through the first three games of the season! They are 3-0, averaging 164.56 ppg and winning by an average of 47.94 points! That is the definition of domination! They will also be going for their 13th straight regular season win this week! I am not sure what else to say about this team other then they are GOOD! PackerFANatic7 just got done playing the highest scoring team in the league (teamAlaska) last week and now they get to play the second highest scoring team in the league and they are in second by a mere 4 points. I know that PackerFANatic7 surely won’t back down from a challenge and that is what they have got this week. They haven’t started as fast as they would have liked but a big win here to move back to .500 would feel awfully good for them!
Prediction:
I always like to find ways for the underdog to win or ways that I can at least pick the underdog to win but this Bossman team is too hot for me to pick against them. I think they keep things rolling again this week and move that winning streak to 13 straight!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 3
- Record: Advantage PackerFANatic7 at 2-1
- PPG Avg: Advantage PackerFANatic7 132.74 to 111.02
HHH (3-0) vs U Don’t Know (3-0)
Game of the week! Yes, I know it is just week 4 but this is the only game this week that features two undefeated teams and that warrants game of the week status. I have been talking a lot over the past couple of weeks on how much I like the makeup of U Don’t Know’s team but HHH and their squad are no slouches either. They have the 4th most points scored in the league and their lowest scoring week was last week when they scored 130 points. This is going to be a good game and if PackerFANatic7 can find a way to bear Bossman the winner here takes over sole possession of first place!
Prediction:
I don’t think I would have hesitated much in picking U Don’t Know in this one but then that thing happened where the Titans are not playing and that means that D. Henry will be out for U Don’t Know. That is a big loss considering the only backup RB currently on their roster is T. Coleman and he is on IR. With that said, I am going to actually go with HHH to win this one. It may come down to who has more points on Monday night. A. Jones or A. Rodgers? Both are capable of monster games but something tells me this is U Don’t Know’s week to struggle a bit.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 14
- Record: Tied with 7 wins a piece
- PPG Avg: Advantage U Don’t Know 116.57 to 110.96
teamAlaska (2-1) vs pack slayer (1-2)
pack slayer is hitting a bit of a rough patch to their schedule as they played U Don’t Know last week, they get teamAlaska (highest scoring team in the league) this week and then a current undefeated team in HHH next week. That’s a tough schedule and they already lost one of them but if they get the next two to move to 3-2 on the season you would like their chances to make a good run the rest of the way especially with McCaffrey coming back but if they lose the next two and fall to 1-4… well that is a tough hole to dig out of. teamAlaska will be looking to keep up their stellar start of the season this week. Yes, they have the one loss but don’t let that fool you as through three weeks this is no doubt one of the best teams in the league. Can they continue that this week?
Prediction:
I think this is another win for teamAlaska. They are just too many weapons for pack slayer to keep up with and I expect Kamara and Wilson to continue doing their thing! teamAlaska to keep climbing up the rankings!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 9
- Record: Advantage pack slayer at 7-2
- PPG Avg: Advantage U Don’t Know 127.01 to 113.70
