Sportsfreak (4-5) vs Pack Attack (3-6)
Since their loss in week 4 to pack slayer, Sportsfreak has been on of the hottest teams in the league and had won three straight games until they hit week 9 (last week) where they had one of their worst weeks of the season and failed to score 100 points for the first time since that week 4 loss. This is a team that has proved they can put up points and I don’t expect too many 3 point games from J. Allen but then again not only was it a 3 point game but it was against the Jags… that doesn’t make sense! Either way, they will be looking to get back on track this week against a scoring challenged Pack Attack team!

16hrs Ahead of You!! (4-5) vs Rapids Plungers (2-7)
Both of these teams are coming off tough losses from last week and since week 4 these two teams are a combined 1-12. Yeah, it doesn’t get much worse than that! Rapids Plungers is three games out of the playoff race with 5 to go so there is still hope but it is very, very slim and they need to win out to have a shot. 16hrs is still riding the coattails of their fast start and are hoping to gain some momentum. This one is interesting as these two teams made a big trade last week and my guess is that the trade has a positive impact for one of these two teams and even leads them to a victory. Does D. Adams go off and 16hrs gets their 5th win or maybe J. Jefferson / R. Tannehill have big weeks and break Rapids Plungers 6 game losing streak? We will find out soon as someone has to win!
Prediction:
Well it is hard to pick either of these teams to win right now but I am going to go with 16hrs to find a way to win this one. I expect a close game and 16hrs losing after the early games on Sunday but then pull away on Sun night / Monday. 16hrs with the win and officially putting a fork in Rapids Plungers season.

PackerFANatic7 (5-4) vs Big Papa (3-6)
Every game is big if you only have 3 or 4 wins on the season right now and that is where Big Papa is at while PackerFANatic7 is feeling pretty good with their 5-4 record and more then the record their team has been playing solid over the past two weeks (both wins). They will be looking to make it three in a row this week while Big Papa is looking to get back in the win column after seeing their two game winning streak come to an end last week.
Prediction:
There is a lot riding on tonights game for both teams. PackerFANatic7 has L. Jackson and M. Brown going tonight while Big Papa has J. Waddle. If Jackson and Brown play well then I think PackerFANatic7 wins this one easily but if this is a 25 to 10 game after tonight’s game then Big Papa has a shot. However, I am not sure what the status of C. Godwin will be for Big Papa. All that said, this feels like a PackerFANatic7 win and their third in a row!

- Regular Season Match-ups: 4

BIGBOY! (8-1) vs pack slayer (6-3)
Game of the week! Yep! This is a matchup of the two highest scoring teams in the league and that are currently sitting at #1 and #3 in the league standings. The last time that BIGBOY! was in the “Game of the Week” they were dealing with 1/2 their team being on a bye but not this week as BOTH teams look to be at full strength. I am excited to see who comes out on top this week in what could be a sneak peak at Super Bowl XVIII!
Prediction:
It almost comical at this point when I look at BIGBOY!’s roster. Their team is so good that they are currently leaving on the bench the #7 scoring RB in the league who also happens to be the 7th highest scoring WR in the league… but nope.. he is not good enough to get into this stacked BIGBOY! lineup. That lineup for pack slayer isn’t so bad either and as far as blow up potential each and every week they are right there as T. Hill and C. Kupp are capable of a 35 + point game on any given week so if there is someone who can keep up it would be pack slayer! This one is going to come down to Monday evening as no matter how far down pack slayer may be the combo of Kupp / Stafford can make up those points. I just don’t see BIGBOY! losing. BIGBOY! with win #9 on the season!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 10
- Record: Advantage BIGBOY! at 7-3
- PPG Avg: Advantage BIGBOY! 130.04 to 119.02
Bossman (7-2) vs HHH (3-6)
Bossman lost last week in what I would call embarrassing fashion for a 7-1 team as they only scored 85 points. Of course, you can point to the bye’s for some of their star players so I expect a much better scoring week from them this week. HHH needs a win. They are really struggling having lost three straight and 6 of their last 7. If they want a chance at a playoff berth it starts now with a win over Bossman!
Prediction:
This is interesting as HHH will be getting back R. Wilson this week (assuming they start him over M. Jones) and suddenly the potential of this HHH team looks much better. I am still not sure I see enough firepower for them to upset Bossman. I could see it happening and it wouldn’t shock me if it did, I just don’t expect it to happen. Bossman with win #8 on the season!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 15
- Record: Advantage Bossman at 9-6
- PPG Avg: Advantage Bossman 111.98 to 108.45
teamAlaska (6-3) vs U Don’t Know (4-5)
The game of the week clearly goes to BIGBOY! vs pack slayer but this one here would be my #2 game of the week. Why? teamAlaska has been solid all season but the last two weeks have me concerned and I would like to see a bounce back game from them. If that happens and they get the win along with pack slayer playing BIGBOY! this team could be in sole possession of 3rd and who knows.. maybe even take over the #2 spot with a Bossman loss. For U Don’t Know they have been on a roll winning 4 of their last 5 games with their only loss coming to pack slayer. This is the defending champion who has gotten stronger each week and win here against a quality opponent and to get all the way back to .500 would be impressive!
Prediction:
There are a couple of things going on here which make this one tough to predict. #1 – Will A. Rodgers play? I suspect the answer to that is yes so I am going with that. #2 – Will A. Kamara? Neither of these teams have Kamara but that would make M. Ingram a strong play this week for U Don’t Know. I think this one is close and comes down to the Monday night game. Look for D. Samuel to lead U Don’t Know to the victory on Monday night and get them back to .500 on the season!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 14
- Record: Advantage U Don’t Know at 9-5
- PPG Avg: Advantage U Don’t Know 117.71 to 116.91
DaUnderdog (5-4) vs Starrfavrerodg (3-6)
DaUnderdog is coming off of a HUGE win last week against Bossman. A game in which they shouldn’t have won but they found a way to get the W. They will have to do the same again this week as they are hit hard with bye weeks to some of their key players. Starrfavrerodg needs a win like all the other 3-6 teams in the league. They need to start this week working their way back to .500. Every year there seems to be a team around this time of year that looks to be out of it but some how turns things around and make a strong playoff push. Could that be Starrfavrerodg this week?
Prediction:
Interesting fact about these two teams is you can see below that their lone meeting last season Starrfavrerodg dominated 129 to 56. Given where things are at as of this writing I wouldn’t be too suprised if we ended up with about the same score again this week. This looks like a “get right” game for Starrfavrerodg and DaUnderdog will need to get back on track next week. Starrfavrerodg with win #4!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 1
- Record: Advantage Starrfavrerodg at 1-0
- PPG Avg: Advantage Starrfavrerodg 129.20 to 56.78
