Sportsfreak (99.92) vs Pack Attack (89.76)
All I can say for Sportsfreak is that it was good they were playing Pack Attack this week! At the end of the day a win is a win and for Sportsfreak this win moves them to 6-4 on the season and all the way up to #2 in the standings thanks to the most points scored of all the 6-4 teams! This was not their best week and in fact it as one of their worst but these are the type of games you love to win and this could be just what they needed as they now have their eyes set on much more then just the playoffs! Pack Attack falls to 2-8 on the season, they have lost 5 straight and only twice has their team scored over 100 points! Yeah, that’s not good! Moving on…
pack slayer (108.06) vs 16hrs Ahead of You!! (83.13)
pack slayer with the HUGE win this week as they move to 6-4 on the season and helped everyone out by sending 16hrs to their second loss in a row! pack slayer has now won 4 of their last 5 games and is looking like a playoff team. The big difference maker this week for them was C. Hubbard and his 29pts and given that 16hrs really struggled to find any type of scoring this week that 29pts was massive! 16hrs drops their second in a row and now falls to 7-4 on the season. Despite the loss they still hold a one game lead for the #1 spot but they have 5 teams right behind them at 6-4! This team hasn’t been in this position for a LONG time if ever and it will be interesting to see how they handle the pressure over the course of the next month!
teamAlaska (153.22) vs Big Papa (135.47)
Going into the week I was not expecting this to be the highest scoring matchup but this one turned into a bit of a shootout and it started on Thursday night when J. Burrow (42.96) for Big Papa kept throwing for a lot of yards and TD passes however unfortunately for Big Papa most of those went to teamAlaska’s J. Chase who finished with a ridiculous 62.20 points on the week! That was all teamAlaska needed to snap their two game losing streak and keep their playoff hopes alive as they move to 4-6 on the season. teamAlaska has a tough remaining schedule as their 4 remaining opponents are all at or above .500! If they make a run and get to the playoffs they will have earned it! For Big Papa a season that started with so much promise is now on life support as they need to start winning some games if they want to turn this thing around and make a playoff run!
BIGBOY! (144.31) vs Bossman (103.43)
BIGBOY! was rolling coming into the week and I kind of thought they may struggle this week against Bossman but I was wrong! BIGBOY! moves to 6-4 on the season with their 6th straight win and they did it in dominating fashion as they took down the defending champs! BIGBOY! had 7 positions score 13 or more points and were led by B. Purdy’s 25.19! With the win they also stopped Bossman’s 4 game winning streak and it is clear that right now this is the hottest team in the league! Bossman falls to 6-4 on the season like seemingly the rest of the league so while they missed out on an opportunity to be in a tie for first place they are also still just a game back of that #1 position! They are going to need more from J. Allen (10.93) and J. Jefferson (7.40) if they want to defend their title!
U Don’t Know (109.04) vs DaUnderdog (84.07)
U Don’t Know (5-5) comes away with the huge win as they look to work their way back into playoff contention. The win moves them back to .500 on the season and now just one game outside of the playoffs. It wasn’t necessarily pretty but a win is a win! They should be getting Pittman back soon and the RB duo of D. Henry and C. Brown suddenly looks really good! DaUnderdog drops their 4th straight to fall to 6-4 on the season and now all of a sudden this team is going to need to start winning or we may be talking about one of the more epic collapses in the history of the league!? Ok, maybe I am being a bit dramatic but a loss next week and I may have to dust out the old record books to see if any team has started out 6-0 and missed the playoffs!
PackerFANatic7 (106.48) vs HHH (58.95)
I expected a lower scoring game in this one but 58.95 points is a bit lower then even I was expecting! The 106 for PackerFANatic7 is about what I expected and that was plenty enough for them to get win # 5 on the season! They have been seemingly battling all year to find wins and through 7 weeks they were struggling despite their team playing fairly well. Three weeks later they have now won 3 straight and are back to .500 on the season and just one game outside of a playoff spot with 4 to go! This is a team to watch out for and I believe are better then what their record says! It will be interesting to see where they go from here! HHH falls to 3-7 on the season and is keeping their name in the running for last place. This loss likely puts an end to any post season dreams they may have had and now the rest of the season becomes one of playing the role of spoiler and not wanting to finish in last!
Starrfavrerodg (121.03) vs Rapids Plungers (79.19)
Starrfavrerodg with another big win to move themselves right into the thick of the playoff race and back to .500 on the season! They have won two straight games against teams that at the time were ahead of them in the standings! They were led this week by J. Hurts (27.77) and C. Ridley (21.20). Ridley has looked really good since D. Hopkins left and if he continues to play at this level that will be a huge boost for Starrrfavrerodg moving forward! The glaring weakness for this team right now is at the RB position where they have two RB’s on their roster. One is fine in R. Stevenson and the other one is a third string RB for the Vikings in C. Akers! The trade deadline is 11/23… Anyone with some RB’s to trade might want to hit up Starrfavrerodg! Rapids Plungers falls to 5-5 on the season and things are looking a bit rough for them right now. They have found a way to go 2-3 in their last 5 games despite only scoring over 100 points once! Over the last three weeks it has been scores of 94, 89 and now 79! Things are seemingly going in the wrong direction for them and with 4 weeks remaining they need to figure it out relatively quick if they want to avoid missing the playoffs for just the 4th time ever!
That’s it for this week everyone. Have a great week!
