My Picks Record:
Last Week: 4-2
Overall: 9-3
16hrs Ahead of You!! (2-0) vs Pack Attack (0-2)
These two long time rivals have met many time, 23 in fact! And in those meetings it has been rare that 16hrs has a 2 game lead on Pack Attack but that is exactly what we are dealing with this week. Not only does 16hrs have a 2 game lead but they are currently undefeated and at the very top of the standings while Pack Attack is winless and right near the bottom of the standings! This is a big opportunity for 16hrs to keep the momentum going by sending their rival Pack Attack to a 0-3 start!

Big Papa (2-0) vs Sportsfreak (1-1)
Big Papa gets another Father-Son matchup in this just the 3rd week of the season. The last one they took down the youngest son in BIGBOY! and now they will be looking to slow down the momentum of Sportsfreak who is coming off one of their best weeks in a really long time! A win here for them would be huge as they look to get back to the playoffs for the first time in 6 seasons! Big Papa will be looking to stay atop the league and stay undefeated on the season!
Prediction:
Sportsfreak entire team is seemingly questionable but the one at this point I would be most concerned with missing the game is seemingly J. Herbert. I am expecting that the others will be out there on Sunday. Kamara and the suddenly high powered Saints offense was lights out for Sportsfreak last week. I expect the Sportsfreak team to come out strong again this week and find a way to send Big Papa to their first loss of the season!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 23

- PPG Avg: Advantage Sportsfreak 116.12 to 112.75
BIGBOY! (0-2) vs Starrfavrerodg (1-1)
There is not a must win game in week 3 but there are important games and I would call this an important game for BIGBOY! as they want to avoid falling to 0-3 on the season. Starrfavrerodg got their first win of the season last week and will be looking to keep that momentum going as they go up against a BIGBOY! squad that they have not fared very well against in the past. AJ Brown likely being out is a big blow for BIGBOY! but outside of that these two teams look to have most of their guys healthy.
Prediction:
This BIGBOY! team as I see it right now lacks firepower. That could all change in the coming weeks if we see Kelce get back to the Kelce we all were used to over the past years but starting two Chargers WR’s and with Herbert banged up, the only player I really trust on this team right now is J. Conner. I am going with Starrfavrerodg to get win #2 and send BIGBOY! to a 0-3 start.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 4

- PPG Avg: Advantage BIGBOY! 134.17 to 114.94
Bossman (1-1) vs pack slayer (1-1)
Both of these teams are coming off their first loss of the season a week ago and one of them will right the ship while the other will fall to a 2 game losing streak. Bossman got some good news as it doesn’t appear that J. Jefferson’s injury is anything too bad while the same can’t be said for pack slayer as it looks like C. Kupp will miss multiple weeks with his injury and we don’t yet know if Mixon will be able to go this week.
Prediction:
pack slayer has historically played Bossman really tough but I don’t see it this week. I think Bossman is able to win this one with relative ease!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 13
- Record: Advantage Bossman at 7-6
- PPG Avg: Advantage Bossman 128.04 to 122.81
DaUnderdog (2-0) vs PackerFANatic7 (1-1)
I mentioned injuries a bit in last weeks wrap up but it was a rough week and both of these teams are dealing with them as they try to put together the best roster to get the win this week. Right now, DaUnderdog is waiting to see the status of J. Love. If he can’t go he will be streaming a QB this week. In addition, it looks like D. Samuel will be out so it leaves this team a bit thin at both the QB and WR position. PackerFANatic7 lost I. Pachecho for a few weeks if not more and now will be left trying to plug that gap. The good news is that they have a strong duo with J. Taylor and J. Dobbins to fill the void. DaUnderdog has dominated this matchup over the years winning 7 of their 8 meetings! Can they make it 8?
Prediction:
This is a tough one as again I have no clue what is happening with DaUnderdog and the QB Spot. I like the L. Jackson / Z. Flowers connection this week. I don’t expect a lot of scoring but I think PackerFANatic7 is setup a bit better than DaUnderdog. Look for PackerFANatic7 to get win #2 and give DaUnderdog that first loss of the season!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 8
- Record: Advantage DaUnderdog at 7-1
- PPG Avg: Advantage DaUnderdog 124.61 to 104.37
Rapids Plungers (2-0) vs HHH (1-1)
Rapids Plungers hasn’t loss and top to bottom right now with all the injuries to other teams this looks like the best roster in the league. If there is a position that Rapids Plungers is weak at it is the TE position but other then that they have guys on their bench that most of us would be starting in our rosters. HHH overall is fairly healthy but they will be hoping to get R Mostert and D. Njoku back soon with Mostert seeming like he is really close to a return.
Prediction:
HHH has played Rapids Plungers tough over the years and I expect them to put up a good fight this week. What I like about this HHH team is that they got some guys with some really high ceilings. J. Daniels, M. Nabers, S. Barkley, J. Gibbs and Devonta Smith all have realistic potential to have monster games and lead their respective positions in points. If they put it all together in a week you are going to see a monster score, the question is can they and / or will they? I see this as a sneaky shootout kind of game. I know Yahoo has both teams just over 100 points but I see this being a 135 to 127 Rapids Plungers win and it comes down to J. Daniels on Monday night. Rapids Plungers just has too many weapons this week so I see them staying undefeated.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 16
- Record: Advantage Rapids Plungers at 9-7
- PPG Avg: Advantage Rapids Plungers 116.44 to 103.04
teamAlaska (0-2) vs U Don’t Know (0-2)
After this week we will at a minimum be down to 3 winless teams as one these two is getting their first W on the season. They haven’t played horrible and I do see both of them with having potential yet this season but you don’t want to fall to an 0-3 hole! Injuries aren’t really a factor here so it should be a solid game.
Prediction:
I could see this being a fairly close matchup but I like teamAlaska to finally get their first win of the season thanks to big games from Stroud, Chase and Aiyuk!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 17
- Record: U Don’t Know at 10-7
- PPG Avg: Advantage teamAlaska 117.19 to 114.77
