As wild as last week was - this week was just weird. Dolphins beating the Bills, a team which Vegas had as the highest odds to win the Superbowl in many years, and even stranger, the Colts beat the Chiefs?
Perhaps the strangest of all was DADDY’S BOYS posting a 63.40 point total for the week, which is an all-time low water mark for the Commissioner-led team. Conspiracy theorists will point out that DADDY’S BOYS didn’t start an injured 49er for the first time this season and suffered their first loss, but the thing these people never seemed to remember from Mr. Herzog’s class was that “correlation doesn’t mean causation”.
The benefactor of the all-time low score, Brady, whose team put up 114 this week, will finish his first year in the Cul-de-Sack 2-1, an impressive start considering it’s the winningest division in IFL history. A LOT of heart on that team, and you got to think it starts with Brown - AJ and Hollywood combining for 48 points this week. New team name: What Can Brown Do For You? Browntown? Phoenix Browns? Brown Superbowl? Brownie Points? Brown Clowns? BrownHeart? Two Browns One Calamari? The Calamari Browns? IDK. It’s in there somewhere.
Our other pick ‘em game was a blowout also this week - Aaron sending Nick to 0-3, with the highest score of the weekend 137-86. The value Aaron has gotten out of Saquon Barkley has been tremendous, and the duo of Davante and Waddle to pair with him will be a force all season. The Badassmailman has the third highest PPG this season at 131.
The BSC will be no cakewalk for Aaron; however, as the Scallon Express improves to 3-0, knocking off Curtis this week 123-95, who falls to 1-2. Interestingly, Scallon’s early success this season hasn’t been from the #1 overall pick, JT, who sits at #7 in RBs so far this season, but all around balance from Christian Kirk, Jamaal Williams, and Zach Ertz.
The closest game this week ended up being the Superbowl rematch Hunt vs TC, with the madlad Hunt extending his regular season winning streak to 16 games in his 102-100 win over TC. Hunt is the weakest of the remaining undefeated teams thus far, but wins matter more than style.
Our third and final undefeated, Mr. Autodraft kepts Chris winless this week 121-94. The only team averaging more points than Ewoldt right now (138 PPG) is Jord’s ASSassins (142 PPG), who also won handily this week 125-60 over Jesse’s Gotta Catch ‘Em All. Jesse’s had a rough go through 3 weeks, sitting at the bottom of the standings, averaging a league low 79 PPG. On paper though his team looks great - TB12, Deebo, Kamara - how can you go wrong? He’ll rebound, I’m sure.
Props to GM Austin, whose situation looked a big dire, until a little motivational speech inspired CeeDee Lamb to highlight reel catch to put the Rodgers LSDream Team in the win column on the season with a win over the DSM Football Team 112-103.
The Boy Scout Cyclones and Papa Jord’s are neck and neck, and swap places yet again.
Jord posts the only perfect week, and slips into second place, just above the pickers consensus and one pick behind still leading the pack Chris.
