pack slayer (3-3) vs Pack Attack (2-4)
pack slayer started the season out with a win but that was the last week they have been over .500 on the season. They will be looking to change that this week as they go up against a Pack Attack team that has been struggling all year to score points. It won’t be any easier for them this week as in addition to their guys who have been out with injury they also now will be dealing with byes to Z. Moss and Diggs . pack slayer isn’t really hurt at all by what I am calling byemageddon week! Easy win for pack slayer!? It would seem so as Stafford will have something to prove this week against his old team!

16hrs Ahead of You!! (3-3) vs HHH (3-3)
16hrs started out the season hot with 3 wins but since then they haven’t been able to find another win and if you know the historical pattern for this team it would be easy to think this is just another one of those years for 16hrs. I am not sure I would agree with that narrative however as despite the three losses their team has not been playing that bad and they could easily be 5-1. Their last two games (both losses) they have averaged 136 points which usually would lead to a win or two. All that to say, 16hrs hang in there and things will likely turn around! HHH got the big win last week to stop their 3 game losing streak and they will be looking to start a winning streak this week. This should be a good game.
Prediction:
Both of these teams are hit really hard by the bye week! The good news is that they are both missing top players to help even things out. HHH will be without Cook and M. Jones Jr while 16hrs is without Thielen, Jefferson and Elliott. That is tough for both teams but certainly hurts 16hrs a little more. Given the byes, I expect both teams to struggle getting to 100 points this week and it may come down to something different like a unexpected 20 point game from a Kicker or D player. I am going to go with HHH mainly because they still have some star players on their team that could put up 20 to 25 points but I could easily see this going the other way.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 18
- Record: Advantage HHH at 10-8
- PPG Avg: Advantage HHH 108.71 to 100.46
DaUnderdog (4-2) vs Big Papa (1-5)
DaUnderdog is having a really solid season through six weeks. I feel as though in the past years I have been able to make some comment about this team living up to their name however it seems that this year the opposite is true and it will for sure be true this week against a Big Papa team that is really struggling. Can DaUnderdog keep their momentum alive or will Big Papa find a way to save their season and get win #2?
Prediction:
Last week I picked Big Papa to come away with the upset win. I would like to do that again as I can see how it would happen however I am going to stick with the hot team in this one and go with DaUnderdog to get the win. I think that S. Darnold to R. Anderson is a sneaky good combination this week. At least the potential is there assuming Anderson figures out how to catch the ball again. DaUnderdog gets win #5.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 20
- Record: Advantage DaUnderdog at 12-8
- PPG Avg: Advantage DaUnderdog 108.93 to 102.29
BIGBOY! (6-0) vs Bossman (5-1)
Game of the week! We have the top two teams through 6 weeks meeting up in what could easily be a Super Bowl preview. BIGBOY! has started out the season 6-0 and has done it in impressive fashion with seemingly different players stepping up each week while CMC rests his hamstring. Bossman has won their last 4 games and their one loss was to teamAlaska by 4 points in week 2 or we would be seeing a game of two undefeated teams going at it. So who comes out on top? Will BIGBOY! get the win and be two games up on the entire field or will Bossman find a way to get the win and let both the league and BIGBOY! know they are for real!
Prediction:
Sooo…. I hyped this game up and talked about it as the game of the week which it needs to be based on records but then I looked at the matchup closer and it seems that 1/2 of BIGBOY’s team is on a bye this week including big names such as J. Herbert, D. Johnson, M. Williams, C. Lamb and TJ Watt. That’s a lot of points that won’t be out there this week. For Bossman, they will be without L. Shenault but otherwise they are at full strength. So I expect a big win for Bossman here and take advantage of all those guys on a bye. IF BIGBOY! somehow finds a way to get the win this week I think we might as well just write their name on the trophy right now and call it a season!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 11
- Record: Advantage Bossman at 6-5
- PPG Avg: Advantage Bossman 120.36 to 113.02
PackerFANatic7 (3-3) vs U Don’t Know (1-5)
This is an interesting game to me as U Don’t Know desperately needs a win as another loss here it would seem very unlikely that they would be one of the 6 playoff teams and therefore meaning their opportunity to defend their title wouldn’t be happening. PackerFANatic7 has been a very odd team so far this year as one game they look like a team that could beat anyone and the next week they look like a team that couldn’t beat BIGBOY! with all of his guys on a bye!
Prediction:
Anyone know which L. Jackson and M. Brown is going to show up this week? Is it the combo that scores 81.22 points in week 5 OR is it the combo that scores 14.49 points as they did in week 6? I have no idea but I guess I would expect somewhere in the middle. I really like Rodgers this week against Washington as that D has been terrible! I don’t expect OBJ or S. Barkley to play this week for U Don’t Know so I am going to go with PackerFANatic7 to get win #4 on the season.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 4
- Record: Advantage PackerFANatic7 at 3-1
- PPG Avg: Advantage PackerFANatic7 115.68 to 111.84
teamAlaska (4-2) vs Rapids Plungers (2-4)
TeamAlaska comes into this game having won 3 games in a row and 4 of their last 5. Their two losses were against two good teams in DaUnderdog and BIGBOY! They will be looking to keep their momentum going this week against a Rapids Plungers team that has been scoring some decent points (outside of last week) however they have still loss 3 in a row and 4 of their last 5 games. This is a big game for Rapids Plungers because if they can get the win here their next 4 opponents have a combined record of 7-17 so it would be easy to see a big winning streak on the way! Will teamAlaska continue thier winning streak and therefore keeping Rapids Plungers losing streak or will Rapids Plungers find a way to get the win and snap both their losing streak and teamAlaska’s winning streak? This should be a good one.
Prediction:
Bye weeks hit both teams hard this week. Rapids Plungers will be without A. Cooper, T. Pollard and N. Harris while teamAlaska will be missing K. Allen and D. Prescott. Again the good news for both teams is that they are playing each other so the field has been evened. With all of the byes there won’t be a lot of scoring for either teams. Yahoo projects them both in the low 100’s but I would say the team that hits 100 this week is going to get the win. I know Rapids Plungers coach is going to hate this.. as I said before I accept Venmo for any bribes for me to NOT pick your team to win but I have to go with what is working as I don’t want to be the only team losing all the time… wait.. did I say that out loud? What I meant to say is I think that Rapids Plungers has just enough firepower to sneak out the win in this one setting them up for a big run back to .500!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 13
- Record: Advantage Rapids Plungers at 7-6
- PPG Avg: Advantage Rapids Plungers 115.14 to 114.94
Starrfavrerodg (3-3) vs Sportsfreak (2-4)
Starrfavrerodg saw their three game winning streak come to an end last week as they couldn’t keep up with BIGBOY! while Sportsfreak is coming off a big win over Rapids Plungers. Sportsfreak has really been playing good football the last two weeks and they will be looking to inch their way back closer to .500 on the season with a win here. Starrfavrerodg has got to be looking at this one as an important win as their next three opponents after this have a combined record of 13-5 so it certainly doesn’t get easier!
Prediction:
Bye weeks once again are a problem and much like some of the other games this one affects both teams in some capacity. It hurts Sportsfreak a bit more as they are without J. Allen and C. Beasley has been solid. Starrfavrerodg will be without Claypool and J. Robinson due to the bye. Again, I expect a lower scoring game and whoever comes out on top this may be looked at as a very important win in their season. I think that team that gets the win will be Sportsfreak!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 1
- Record: Advantage Sportsfreak at 1-0
- PPG Avg: Advantage Sportsfreak 134.48 to 92.98
