We have 5 teams who through three weeks have yet to lose and we also have 5 teams who have yet to find a win. We have one game of 2-0 teams going up against each other and two games where 0-2 teams matchup. 0-3 is not a place that any team really wants to start out at and at least two teams will be there after this week!
Picks
Last Week: 3-3
Overall: 8-4
pack slayer (0-2) vs Pack Attack (0-2)
Speaking of 0-2 teams meeting up! Here is one of games where both teams are looking for their first win of the season. However, I would say that despite both teams being winless through 2 games one of them feels like they have really looked bad doing it and it just may be that Pack Attack team. I am not sure who drafted that team anyway! He must have been focusing on other things! Either way, no game in the first month of the season is a must win but no one wants to start out at 0-3 with bye weeks right around the corner! Both of these teams would tell this is one they want to find a way to win!

16hrs Ahead of You!! (0-2) vs Starrfavrerodg (0-2)
Here is game #2 where both teams are coming into this one looking for their first win of the season. 16hrs had their previous starting QB in Trey Lance go down with a season ending injury but thankfully they had just made a trade for D. Carr and should be better off in the long run with him at the helm. Starrfavrerodg hasn’t really been able to catch a break so far this season and now they lost one of their top WR’s in M. Evans for this week due to a suspension. Things certainly haven’t started they way they had hoped but a win here by one of these teams and they are just one game away from .500!
Prediction:
I expect this to be a close game. I am sure that 16hrs is hoping JK Dobbins will see action this week and can help to get their offense going along with their new QB in D. Carr. I can’t help but think D. Henry is due for one of those monster games and maybe LV is just the team to help him do that. I am going to go with 16hrs to find a way to get the win here!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 2

Big Papa (2-0) vs teamAlaska (2-0)
Ok, so I have to be careful hyping this game up too much as it is only week 3 but it is rare that #1 plays #2 in the standings so I am kind of excited about it. Not only is it #1 vs #2 in the standings but these two teams have been dominate. Yes, teamAlaska did have a decently close game in week 1 but Big Papa has been a part of the biggest blow out for the first two weeks and if that wasn’t enough these two teams are a mere 0.76 points different in combined points through two weeks. On paper this is about as good as it gets!
Prediction:
The similarities keep going as I look to predict the game. For Big Papa you look at Mahomes / Kupp and for teamAlaska it is L. Jackson and J. Jefferson. There is some injuries we need to keep an eye on J. Conner and J. Jeudy are questionable. This is a tough one as I have my doubts of Jeudy playing. I am going to go with Big Papa to keep things rolling and remain undefeated!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 19
- Record: Advantage Big Papa at 13-6
- PPG Avg: Advantage Big Papa 119.37 to 102.26
BIGBOY! (1-1) vs Sportsfreak (2-0)
BIGBOY! had the Father-Son matchup last week in which he failed miserably so he will now be trying to…. totally redeem himself by winning in this one! It won’t be easy however as Sportsfreak has been playing well and they will be hoping to get A. Kamara back for this one. BIGBOY! is going to need K. Allen to play and at this point it seems like it will come down to a game time decision.
Prediction:
That gametime decision of K. Allen playing or not has major implications in this game as if Allen doesn’t play that really helps M. Williams who Sportsfreak will be starting. If Allen does play then BIGBOY! will be hoping he steals some of the volume for Williams! I haven’t seen much out of this BIGBOY! team yet this year and Sportsfreak has shown that they can win without some of their top players so I am going with them to remain undefeated and to send BIGBOY! to yet another frustrating loss!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 12
- Record: Advantage Sportsfreak at 7-5
- PPG Avg: Advantage Sportsfreak 121.34 to 120.01
Bossman (1-1) vs U Don’t Know (2-0)
The teamAlaska vs Big Papa game is going to be fun but I think this one may actually turn out to be a better game. U Don’t Know has had two solid weeks which makes sense given their 2-0 record and as much as I have joked about this Bossman team and their 1 win prediction they are the highest scoring team in the league as of this writing! I expect a back and forth high scoring game in this one.
Prediction:
This is another tough one to predict but to me the biggest difference in this one is the QB position. Brady hasn’t really seemed like himself through two weeks and now he is going up against a solid Packers D and will likely be without Godwin and Evans. Is U Don’t Know thinking about benching Brady for Goff? No… that couldn’t possibly happen.. or could it? Either way, I like Bossman to get the win and get win #2 on the season as they look like the better team on paper!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 15
- Record: Advantage Bossman at 10-5
- PPG Avg: Advantage Bossman 129.31 to 113.61
HHH (0-2) vs DaUnderdog (2-0)
DaUnderdog is 2-0 and you have to go all the way back to the 2017 season for the last time they started out at 2-0 and in the previous 18 years only one time have they started out a season 3-0 and that was in the 2008 season. The champ is looking for a repeat! HHH is just looking to get a win and in brother battle #2 on the week they would love nothing more then to get it against the reigning champ and hand them their first loss of the season. Can they do it?
Prediction:
Going back to the start of the playoffs last season and in fact probably most of last season I was always picking DaUnderdog to lose and they would continually go out and prove me wrong to the point that they went out and won a championship. So I guess until they lose again I just need to pick them to win. DaUnderdog gets big games from J. Allen and Waddle to move to 3-0 on the season.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 19
- Record: Advantage DaUnderdog at 11-8
- PPG Avg: Advantage DaUnderdog 111.44 to 107.24
Rapids Plungers (1-1) vs PackerFANatic7 (1-1)
These two teams have about identical patterns through two weeks only they flip flopped the week in which they played well and the week they played not so well. Rapids Plungers is coming off their tough week in Week 2 and are hoping to bounceback this week while PackerFANatic7 had their tough week in week 1 and followed that up with a 151 point effort last week. So if the pattern of poor game / good game continues then Rapids Plungers wins this one by 50! So does that pattern continue?
Prediction:
You know what.. I could see it happening. Now, I am not sure that I see Rapids Plungers winning by 50 points but a 20 to 30 point win doesn’t seem out of the question as I think PackerFANatic7 is going to have a hard time hitting 100 this week and I like Rapids Plungers to have a bounceback type of game and finish at around 131. Rapids Plungers moves to 2-1 after this one.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 5
- Record: Advantage Rapids Plungers at 4-1
- PPG Avg: Advantage Rapids Plungers 151.12 to 119.77
