My Picks Record:
Last Week: 4-2
Overall: 27-9
BIGBOY! (4-2) vs Pack Attack (5-1)
You look at the records and some might say this looks like it could be the game of the week and I would agree with that. However, then you look a little closer and you realize that Pack Attack has been lucky enough to overcome some big injuries the past couple of weeks however with another injury last week and another top player on a bye this is looking more like a pre-season roster for them. BIGBOY! knows the feeling as they were able to sneak by with 4 wins despite Kupp missing the first four games of the season but now with him healthy they will be looking to make their move to the top of the leaderboard. This is a prime opportunity for BIGBOY! sure would be bad to see them lose to a team starting guys like M Wilson, M Mayer and K Toney!

16hrs Ahead of You!! (3-3) vs Bossman (4-2)
16hrs ahead of you has been teasing us through 6 games. Are they a good team or a not so good team? Last week they looked like a good team as they took down Sportsfreak, the week before that bad and it keeps going like this every week. Win / lose, win / lose. Here is their time to show us that they may actually be a good team vs just a .500 team. They go up against one of the better teams in the league this week but a win here and maybe they really have turned the corner! When you start out 4-0 games lose some meaning unless of course you have pulled off a huge trade and since then have lost two straight games! This game has a lot of meaning for Bossman as dropping three in a row may force some internal backlash about trading away some of their best players!
Prediction:
I really like J Hurts this week in what looks like a shootout game however in a shootout type of game usually the WR’s benefit just as much as the QB (if not more) and in this case J Hurts for Bossman is throwing to AJ Brown for 16hrs. It would not surprise me at all if Brown keeps pace unless of course there are numerous tush pushes… lots of tush pushes equals bad for 16hrs and good for Bossman! I am not sure that Bossman has ever rooted for a tush push before but he will be this week! In looking at other items to this game I like a lot of pieces for 16hrs this week. The matchups really seem in their favor so with that said I think it’s time to pick against Bossman. I don’t think I have picked against them all year (I may be wrong) but this looks like the week for an upset. 16hrs moves to 4-3 and sends Bossman to their 3rd straight loss.
Side Note: not only would this be a big win for 16hrs it would also be somewhat unprecedented as they next to never beat Bossman. Look at that record below! That is domination!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 17
- Record: Advantage Bossman at 15-2
- PPG Avg: Advantage Bossman 137.40 to 107.93
Big Papa (3-3) vs pack slayer (5-1)
This is a fun one as you have Big Papa coming into this week on a 3 game winning streak and looking to climb all the way back to above .500 on the season. pack slayer has started hot and have been one of the better teams in the league this year. During this three game winning streak they have beaten two teams that had only one loss going into their matchup (Bossman and Sportsfreak) and now they go up against another one loss team this week! Can they do it again? I have been very impressed with the turn around this Big Papa team has made and win here would make it that much more impressive. pack slayer has other plans as they see a chance keep climbing that leaderboard and need one more jump to be at the top.
Prediction:
I would be very surprised if this game doesn’t come down to Monday night. Big Papa has Kittle and Joseph their Kicker while pack slayer is left with E Mitchell. That clearly favors Big Papa as I have no clue what type of workload Mitchell will have. I expect the game to be close but Big Papa down slightly. Kittle always performs well on Primetime games and I expect the same on Monday. I am going with another upset and picking Big Papa to get their 4th win in a row!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 12
- Record: Tied at 6-6
- PPG Avg: Advantage Big Papa 112.43 to 110.92
DaUnderdog (3-3) vs teamAlaska (2-4)
DaUnderdog has won three of their last four games coming into this one and they would love to get over that .500 mark for the first time all season. There is just something about that mark and if you can get over it you just feel so much better going into the next week. teamAlaska got the win last week but it was against the 0-6 HHH team so I am not sure what to make of it. It for sure saved their season for a week and if they could figure out a way to get win #3 against brother #3 they would be feeling a lot better about things! DaUnderdog has typically dominated in this matchup over the years so can they keep it rolling again this week?
Prediction:
This is a tough one as both teams are facing bye weeks to some key players. teamAlaska is down T. Pollard and J. Burrow while DaUnderdog has his entire bench on a bye including Prescott, Nixon and Thielen. This is a hard one to predict and since I consider it to be a low scoring game it will only take one player going off for like 30 to really separate the teams. I think teamAlaska has a few more weapons here and I am going to pick them to win but this one looks to be close!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 19
- Record: DaUnderdog at 13-6
- PPG Avg: Advantage DaUnderdog 112.44 to 97.76
Starrfavrerodg (2-4) vs HHH (0-6)
Two teams that have been really struggling this season so far. Starrfavrerodg comes into this one having lost 4 of their last 5 games while HHH has yet to figure out how to get in the win column. There are 8 games left in the season. It will likely take 8 wins to make the playoffs. So that makes this a must win for HHH. I think the same could be said for Starrfavrerodg as losing to an 0-6 would be enough to end their season!
Prediction:
This no doubt will be an ugly game. As of this writing, HHH has one player projected for over 10 points and that is their QB. HHH it would seem would struggle again this week to find points. I am not expecting CMC to play so that would level the playing field a bit but I still think Starrfavrerodg wins.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 3
- Record: Advantage Starrfavrerodg at 2-1
- PPG Avg: Advantage HHH 102.77 to 98.37
Sportsfreak (3-3) vs U Don’t Know (2-4)
Sportsfreak is having a very similar season as what I wrote about with 16hrs. We don’t know if this is a good team or a not so good team. It is a every other week type of scenario. They have done the win/loss, win/loss, win/loss thing each week and if that pattern holds true it means they would be due for a win again this week. U Don’t Know has lost two of their last three games and will be looking to get back on track this week. I wrote about it last week but this is a team that is really relying heavily on Chase / Mahomes and with Chase on a bye this week that makes things that much more difficult.
Prediction:
Not only is Chase on a bye but B Hall is also on a bye for U Don’t Know. I don’t think they have enough firepower to keep up with Sportsfreak this week who is hoping to D Johnson back from injury. Sportsfreak keeps the pattern going with another win here!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 17
- Record: Advantage U Don’t Know at 9-8
- PPG Avg: Advantage U Don’t Know 115.45 to 114.70
PackerFANatic7 (1-5) vs Rapids Plungers (5-1)
Two teams, two completely opposite records. For PackerFANatic7 it isn’t for their lack of effort as they are always one of the most active teams in the league.. if only they could figure out a way to draft a strong team and then build around them… Rapids Plungers suffered their first loss of the season and are likely going to be without J Fields this week due to injury. This is a huge game for PackerFANatic7 as a loss here and they would put themselves in a must win situation for virtually the rest of the year if they wanted a shot at the playoffs. Rapids Plungers doesn’t want anything to do with a losing streak so they will be on their game to try to back into the win column after last week.
Prediction:
These two teams actually have what looks like two of the top WR groups in the league. The difference here is that Rapids Plungers also has some solid RB’s while PackerFANatic7 doesn’t and that is why one team has won 5 games and the other hasn’t! I think this could be closer then some may think especially if Watson plays and Deebo or Devonta were to sit. From a picking perspective though I am sticking with Rapids Plungers to all but end PackerFANatic7’s season with a win here!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 6
- Record: Advantage Rapids Plungers at 5-1
- PPG Avg: Advantage Rapids Plungers 144.91 to 113.25
