Pack Attack (6-5) vs U Don’t Know (5-6)
A big game for both teams as they fight their way to playoff spots. Pack Attack currently holds a 1 game lead but a win here by U Don’t Know and that opens the door for all of those 5 win teams to make a leap to the playoffs. This is a big one!

Sportsfreak (7-4) vs 16hrs Ahead of You!! (4-7)
16hrs has historically played well against Sportsfreak having won 13 of their 21 matchups to date. 16hrs has also won 2 of their last three to keep their playoff hopes alive. They will need to get another win here to keep them for yet another week! Sportsfreak was able to break their three game losing streak last week and they are hoping to get things going in the other direction and make a run not only for the playoffs but for a first round bye! Another game with a lot at stake which tends to be the case with only three weeks remaining!
Prediction:
Yahoo has Sportsfreak projected as the 3rd highest scoring team this week. I think they find a way to win but I don’t see much more then 100 from them which I expect to be enough against 16hrs who has 3 current starters on a bye this week.
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 21
- Record: Advantage 16hrs at 13-8
- PPG Avg: Advantage 16hrs 121.01 to 110.29
HHH (6-5) vs Big Papa (4-7)
This is a MUST win for Big Papa and a must win for HHH. Notice the all caps for Big papa because if they lose this game any chance they had of making the playoffs realistically goes out the window. HHH needs this win to keep pace for a playoff spot. Is it a MUST win no, but if they lose here they likely set themselves up where they need to win their final two to get in.
Prediction:
Jacobs may not play and that hurts HHH but I love Goff/Nacua and Egbuka this week. I think they have enough firepower to get the win against a Big Papa team that has been struggling to score points the last two weeks. HHH with the win and ending Big Papa’s season!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 23
- Record: Advantage Big Papa at 12-11
- PPG Avg: Advantage HHH 116.55 to 113.69
BIGBOY! (7-4) vs teamAlaska (3-8)
teamAlaska’s season is over and they are playing for pride at this point but what better way to finish off your season then being able to say you took down the reigning champ!? You know they will be going for it this week. For BIGBOY! despite losing their last two games they still have their sights set on a first round bye so this one is important to them!
Prediction:
This on paper looks like an ugly week for both teams. I don’t expect either of them to reach 100 points so what that means is which team has a player score 25/30 points this week? I see 2 guys that could do it for BIGBOY! and 3 guys with that potential for teamAlaska. So does that mean teamAlaska wins? Yeah.. I mean I kind of think so. I think St Brown scores 30 and that is enough to lead teamAlaska to the major upset!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 16
- Record: Tied at 8-8
- PPG Avg: Advantage BIGBOY! 128.35 to 113.98
DaUnderdog (7-4) vs Bossman (5-6)
This is another huge game for both teams. DaUnderdog is currently in that coveted #2 spot but tied with two others so they need to keep winning to hang on and keep that first round bye. Bossman is fighting for their playoff lives. While they were able to break their two game losing streak last week it wasn’t impressive at all (they only scored 96 points). They are going to need to score more this week to get the W against a solid DaUnderdog team!
Prediction:
First off, J Taylor has been outstanding this season and singlehandedly has kept this Bossman team afloat! Last game he had a mind blowing 59.97 points! That’s more then pack slayer scores in most weeks! I think though this week feels a bit different. KC has a solid D and a lot to play for. I expect a good game but 20 or less feels about right and that probably won’t be enough to win. I like Flowers, Higgins, Dowdle and Bijan this week for DaUnderdog and I expect them to get the big win and put a huge hit on Bossman’s chances of making the playoffs this season!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 20
- Record: Advantage Bossman at 15-5
- PPG Avg: Advantage Bossman 127.33 to 111.28
Rapids Plungers (9-2) vs pack slayer (4-7)
Rapids Plungers started off the year with a week 1 loss but since then have gone 9-1 and have now won 6 straight games! They have the #1 overall spot all but locked down with 3 games remaining they likely just need one more win to do it! pack slayer has not been playing well and if you look at just points scored this is kind of your David vs Goliath type of matchup. It’s actually quite impressive that pack slayer has been able to find a way to get 4 wins and is still in playoff contention. Can they get a upset win this week and live on for another week?
Prediction:
pack slayer’s team has the potential to look much better starting this week if B Irving can play and they get Burrow and maybe Michael Thomas Jr however those are big if’s right now and I think it is more likely that all three of them sit vs they play. Rapids Plungers is without two stars in Achane and London so that evens the playing field a bit. While I see a path for pack slayer to win, I can’t go against the 9 win Rapids Plungers team. I like them to get the W here and lock in that #1 spot!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 14

PackerFANatic7 (5-6) vs Starrfavrerodg (5-6)
There are a lot of good games this week but this one might be the biggest of them all as this is essentially a playoff game. A loss here doesn’t officially eliminate either team but 8 wins gets you in the playoffs “almost” all the time while 7 wins is “rare”. I don’t have the percentages or the time to figure it out but trust me your odds are much better with 8 wins. The winner her keeps their playoff hopes very much alive while the loser is going to need everything to fall their way to get in. Both teams are playing their best football of the season. PackerFANatic7 has won three of their last 4 games while Starrfavrerodg is on a 3 game winning streak! Something has to give!
Prediction:
This one is really interesting as injury news is going to play a big factor. If both Stevenson and J Jacobs are out that boosts the value of T Henderson and E Wilson for PackerFANatic7. If those two are both in then I am much less confident in those two players for obvious reasons. I trust the roster of Starrfavrerodg a little more this week but PackerFANatic7 does have the ultimate trump card in J Allen. We may have a good idea of who wins this one after tonights game. Another 46 point outburst from Allen and PackerFANatic7 is going to like their chances. Somewhere in the 20’s might not be enough. I am going with Starrfavrerodg to get the win but this is a game I am really interested to watch this week!
Historical Look at this Match-Up:
- Regular Season Match-ups: 6
- Record: tied at 3-3
- PPG Avg: Advantage Starrfavrerodg 124.52 to 116.46
