After I highlight Hunt, Scallon and Nelson for their success through the first three weeks in last wee, they go a collective 1-2 and average a combined 94.18 PPG. Sorry boys.
However, Nelson gets another clutch win, beating Kelce if you can 105.90 - 94.98 and now enjoys a two-game division lead in the Boy Scout Cyclones, and a perfect 4-0 start.
Hunt and Nick both looked to be gunning for the high score of the week, prior to Sunday's games, but in accordance with the unpredictability of the NFL, it turned into a race to see who could suck less. Hunt appeared to have that race won, only needing 11.6 pts with Chris Thompson and Jamison Crowder remaining, who together average 32 PPG. In a crazy Monday Night game, the pair only managed a combined 2 pts, forfeiting the game to Nick 72.36 - 81.86. Nick moves to 3-1 after beating the only team he needed to this week. Hunt goes to 2-2, tied with Brady's Bench for division lead.
Our battle of the champs went the way of the power rankings and the pick 'em votes, as TC's SICK Fantasies couldn't match the Flaming Red Hot Ginger's output, and Russell Wilson Sunday Night performance of another near thirty deuce put old Brady away. The Red Hot Gingers go to 3-1, tied for Cul-de-Sack division leader with Nick and Guzman.
The Battle of the Roommates turned out to be an interesting affair. Ewoldt, the underdog in this one, had 9 players in the early games, and they put up 129 pts. Joe spent the rest of the day trying to make up 80 pt deficit, and ultimately managed to get within 9 pts, but severely faltered in his management, benching Cam Newton, who went off for 33.04 pts against the Patriots. Speaking from experience, you bench Cam, and he's going to burn you. Poor Blake Bortles only managed 11.40 pts, costing the Nut Grabbing 9 Year Olds the game. Ewoldt gets the year long bragging rights.
We witnessed a massive upset this week, courtesy those those pesky nut grabbers, who welcomed the return of their captain OBJ, whose 29 point game led Joe's #14 power ranked boys to a 148.16 - 123.92 routing of the #1 power ranked Birds of War. Richards was sitting pretty after a 37.9 player-of-the-week performance from Gurley, but the 9 Year Olds were there stride for stride with Hyde, Fournette, and Matthews, as well as 28.5 combined points from the double TE set they deployed this week. Hats off to Week 3's highest scoring team.
The Bellhops have to be feeling good, after going 2-1 while only averaging 105.17 PPG, finally fire on all cylinders, led by Player of the Week, Mr. Lightning, Mr. Veto himself, Le'Veon Bell and his 34.60 pts. Herzog's boys put up 151.20 on the Scallon Express, and remain in control of Dirty Doc and the Boys by one game.
The Birds of War are hot on their trail though, scoring the most points in the league this week thanks to another monstrous game from Gurley, 34.50 pts. Gurley nearly scored the most points by a player in back-to-back weeks, as the Rams are looking GOOD.
Dirty Doc & the Boys go 35-25 this week, and move into 3rd place, as X-IA falters as a division.
Division Overall W-L:
CdS: 136-104
BSC: 129-111
DD&B: 113-127
X-IA: 102-138
Decided with the "Which player will score most points?" question that we would eliminate players from the question that didn't get picked. So retroactively, Dak Prescott was the answer last week, which Jesse, Jack, and Ewoldt got correct. This week, Kirk Cousins was the correct answer, which Hunt, Jord, and TC got right.
Chris and Jordan do best this week, going 3 for 4, as many got tripped up by the Nick's upset of Hunt as well as Ewoldt's win over Joe.
We enter the start of the bye weeks now, boys. Buckle up.
