A historic week! 3 players crack the Top 5 of greatest ever player performance in IFL history, leading us to our highest scoring week of the regular season since Week 10 of 2018.
As dominant as Dirty Doc & the Boys were last week, the Boy Scout Cyclones were somehow even more dominant this, as Drew pointed out, all in the Top 5 of scoring this week, and all but Drew above 150 points.
They very well could have went 4-0 as a division this week, but Scallon and Drew went head to head the IFL’s Game of the Week, and they did not fail to entertain. The 3rd highest scoring player this week, CMC, scored just 48.2 points, and thanks to another 37.1 from Amari Cooper, the Express was able to take the lead heading in to Monday Night, and 0.8 points from Dweebo Samuel didn’t quite for Drew’s attempt to retake the lead. Scallon Express moves to 4-1, and now has a 1 game lead on the division. CMC is the current scoring leader this season, averaging 31.8 after that ridiculousness.
The 2nd highest scoring player this week, Will Fuller, put up a mere 48.7 points, which is almost 20 more than he had scored in the previous four games combined, appears to be back to form after his ACL tear last season, and it allowed for Aaron to best TC, who is struggling without his namesake Saquon. Aaron goes to 3-2, one game back in the BSC, and is relevant for the first time since 2017, when he placed 3rd in the league. TC falls to 3-2, and a game back to Papa Jord’s.
Papa Jord’s is also the team that rostered the highest scoring player this week, Aaron Jones, who became the 3rd player in IFL history to breach the 50 point mark, which hasn’t happened since Week 12 of 2017, with 50.2 points. Papa Jord choke slammed Curtis as a result, 149-104 and goes to 4-1.
The highest scoring team this week, Handlebar Enthusiasts, showed Tony that he doesn’t want another punishment to add to his ledger, thanks to 95 points from Russell Wilson, Michael Thomas and Philip Lindsay, besting Tony 155-117. Hunt is back?!
A series of heartbreaking losses for those of us at the bottom of the barrel. The BRADYTRAIN loses a shootout to the Doc’s Badgers by 1.4 points, who stay tied for 1st in the DD&B. HypeZoneTV loses to Curtis’s high speed explorer by 1.16 points, in a failed Chubb comeback (a Chubb-back?) and Nick moves to 3-2 and has a two game lead in the CdS. And finally, the Commish loses the Bounty Brawl by a margin of 0.15 points to the undefeated 3-2-1 SPIKE!, who now has a ridiculous 4-game lead over the X-IA division
There is so sadness quite similar to a fantasy loss by that small of a margin. All three failures fall to 1-4, and the light at the end of the tunnel begins to dim.
In some good news, Big Brett’s Big Year gets their first win of the season, over Brat10. Cheers to Coach Joseph.
The race to not be last intensifies.
The BSC’s incredible weeks puts them 3 games up over the DD&B, as the CdS falls further behind.
Division Overall W-L:
BSC: 175-125
DD&B: 172-128
X-IA: 135-165
CdS: 118-182
Pickers consensus goes 4 for 4, as do Curtis, and Nick. Nick and Jesse wager 2 points successfully in the spread pick and that sends Nick back to a tie for 1st place with Curtis, and Jesse into a tie for 4th place with Brat10.
Week 6 is everything.
