My Picks Record:
Last Week: 5-1
Overall: 14-4
HHH (0-3) vs Pack Attack (2-1)
HHH is coming into this one really needing a win as a 0-4 hole is not something any team wants to have to try and dig out of. They have to be looking at the first two weeks of the season and wondering “what if” as they lost in Week 1 by 5 and in Week 2 by 1! And as I mentioned previously but in Week 2 they were on their way to a win until Chubb went down to injury. Week 3 was their worst of the season as they adjust to life without Chubb. They go up against a Pack Attack team coming off their worst week of the season as well. Who will bounce back and get the win!?

16hrs Ahead of You!! (1-2) vs PackerFANatic7 (1-2)
Through three weeks these two teams are following the same exact path. Lose – Win – Lose. 16hrs lost last week despite having their best week of the season while PackerFANatic7 is coming off a blowout loss to Bossman. They both now get a chance to get back to .500 on the season and this feels like it could be a close one. PackerFANatic7 may be getting healthier as they look to get C Watson back from injury and are still holding out hope that Ekeler can go. If both of those two are in it would be a huge boost for them!
Prediction:
The two injuries I mentioned would really change how I view this game. For now, I am going to assume that C Watson is in and Ekeler is out for one more week. If that is the case then i like 16hrs ahead of you to come away with the win but if Ekeler is out there and going I would like PackerFANatic7’s chances to get win #2. For now though my pick is 16hrs!

Big Papa (0-3) vs Sportsfreak (2-1)
Sportsfreak is coming off of there best week of the season in a big win against BIGBOY!. They took down their brother and now they get to go after their Father in a Father-Son matchup. Through three weeks Sportsfreak is looking like a team that could contend this season which is something they haven’t been able to say for awhile as they have missed the playoffs for 5 straight years. A win here and moving to 3-1 would certainly put them in a good spot to start the season. Big Papa has been struggling and I think that it putting it nicely. Probably worst then the fact that they are 0-3 is the fact of who they have lost to. Two of the three have been against those people that you just really want to win against… Rapids Plungers (Son in Law) and BIGBOY! (Son) and now they go up against Sportsfreak (Son) who will be trying to move them to 0-4 on the season and hang on to the family bragging rights.
Prediction:
When picking these games it is always fun to try and find a way that I can see the underdog winning and pick the upset. I tried in this one and while there are certainly paths that I could see Big Papa pulling off the upset and getting their first win of the season it seems unlikely and I have a good W/L record on my picks to think about here so I am going with Sportsfreak to get win #3 on the season.

BIGBOY! (2-1) vs Bossman (3-0)
On paper there is two really good games this week! This is my #2 game. BIGBOY! is coming off their first loss of the season but it was more of a byproduct of playing the wrong team at the wrong time as they put up the most points in defeat (135). Now they go up against the hottest team in the league in Bossman to try and not lose two in a row. Bossman has been dominating opponents however have they really played any good teams (no offense to those teams)? These next two weeks (BIGBOY! and Sportsfreak) should help answer that question. So who wins? Does Bossman finally meet thier match or will BIGBOY! lose their second in a row!?
Prediction:
I like this matchup! I really hope that Waddle plays because that will make it that much better of a game. For BIGBOY! Cousins, K Walker and J Ford since the Chubb injury have been outstanding for them. Waddle of course is good when he is playing as well. For Bossman it’s a whole host of players but K Allen right now is the cream of the crop. He currently ranks only behind Tyreek Hill for the #1 overall scoring player in the league. So does any of this matter for this week? Not really but it is still fun to look at. If you would have told me that the #1 overall team in the league was starting R Wilson in Week 4 I don’t think I would have believed you but here we are! Last week when I picked BIGBOY! to lose I was warned by the coach of BIGBOY! “Keep hatin on my fantasy team and I’ll keep showing up for W’s”. Wonder what I will hear this week when I tell you that I am picking Bossman to remain undefeated in what should be a really fun / close game! Bossman with win #4!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 13
- Record: Bossman at 8-5
- PPG Avg: Advantage Bossman 125.07 to 113.38
DaUnderdog (1-2) vs U Don’t Know (1-2)
Both teams come into this week 4 having got their first win of the season last week. They have both improved each week. For DaUnderdog they seem to be improving by leaps and bounds as week 1 they scored only 71 points but then followed that up with a 110 point performance and a 138 point effort last week. Can they improve yet again this week? U Don’t Know has also improved each week but more subtly as they have gone from 93 to 95 to 117 last week. Either way this is a game against seemingly two teams headed in the right direction. One of these teams will be walking away with their 2nd win in a row and back to .500 on the season! Who will it be?
Prediction:
These two teams seem to be fairly evenly matched. I know they have both been improving each week from a scoring perspective but I expect that to end this week for both teams. I am thinking the final score will be somewhere in the 110 to 95 range with DaUnderdog coming away victorious. It is really hard to pick against Mahomes and Chase but Mahomes is playing on the road against a solid Jets team but he typically throws to Kelce so if Mahomes is doing well I expect Kelce for DaUnderdog to be doing the same. Also, I expect a big game from Chase against a horrible TN secondary but I kind of like Thielen for DaUnderdog to hang with Chase this week from a scoring perspective (yes, I just said that…). Just typing that seems wrong! I am going with DaUnderdog to get their 2nd win in a row!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 17

- PPG Avg: Advantage U Don’t Know 110.80 to 100.64
pack slayer (3-0) vs Rapids Plungers (3-0)
Here is your game of the week! Any time you get undefeated teams going against each other it makes for a fun game. Rapids Plungers has been playing really consistent football through three weeks. They scored 118 points in weeks 1 & 3 and then in week 2 they scored 127! That means that we haven’t seen the ceiling type of game from yet but they may need it this week going up against a quality opponent. pack slayer has been a little bit more sporadic in their weeks but they showed last week in their 149 point outburst that they have a team that can keep up with the best of them. They did this also without S Barkley who it appears is on track to play. Overall not a lot of injuries to worry about for either team so this should be a good one! The winner here is guaranteed to be tied at a minimum atop the leaderboard.
Prediction:
Rapids Plungers couldn’t have picked a better game for them to get A Kamara back from suspension. When you take the approach Rapids Plungers did in the draft you just are trying to make it through until a guy like Kamara is ready to go and not only did they do that they thrived. Kamara is a nice addition to the team and should make an immediate impact. Both teams have key players in what should be one of the highest scoring games of the week in BUF vs MIA. pack slayer has Tua and G Davis while Rapids Plungers has Diggs and Mostert. I could see this being a 135 to 125 type of game with Rapids Plungers finding a way to pull it out and I can’t believe I am saying this but I kind of think he wins because Fields has a surprisingly good game against Denver. Rapids Plungers remains undefeated.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 12
- Record: Tied at 6-6
- PPG Avg: Advantage pack slayer 131.93 to 117.54
Starrfavrerodg (1-2) vs teamAlaska (1-2)
teamAlaska is coming off their first win of the season but this team has been playing better then their record shows. They have actually scored the third most points in the league but they have given up the 2nd most so hence their 1-2 record. Starrfavrerodg is coming off a terrible week and anytime this happens of course the critics come out but on the flip side it really came out of nowhere. The previous two weeks they had been playing really well scoring 145 and 125. We will see how they follow up that performance this week against a quality opponent.
Prediction:
This game should be close so whether A Jones plays or not and if he gets a normal workload is for sure noteworthy as well as Aiyuk. I am going to assume both play and that certainly helps Starrfavrerodg. I am not sure what to think of this one however. Is teamAlaska really starting Love over Burrow? Burrow has been bad I get it but that is certainly gutsy call if it is in fact what is happening. As much as I don’t like to pick a team that scored in the 50’s the week before I am going to do just that and pick Starrfavrerodg to win this one thanks to big games from D. Jones and CMC.

- Regular Season Match-ups: 3
