Life is a roller coaster. There are ups and downs and twisties and twirls. As soon as you young bucks can realize that - the better off you will be. Take 2020 for example... this is a down. We need to roll with the punches - sure some of it feels like a knockout, but nahhhhhh - we got that steel chin!
The same can be said about a fantasy football season. You have ups and you have downs. You have times when your team feels like it is the worst team in the league. You have times when you feel like you could have beaten anyone in the league. If you haven't muttered the words, "My fantasy team is awful" then you have not gone through a whole fantasy football league. Maybe you lost to the worst team in the league and everyone just assumed you were going to roll-over and just....
Nope, not anymore cruel world! I see what you are trying to do and it isn't going to work! Let's jump to the matchups...
Matchup of the Week
The J-Bones** (7-4) v 2 Gurleys 1 Cupp (6-5)
The J-Bones are having the definition of a "roller coaster" season. They won the belt in 2 of the first 3 weeks. Then Dak Prescott and Aaron Jones get injured and everything looks lost. Now they are back on the upswing and have back-to-back wins. They are close to locking up and playoff spot and this was a big win as it separates themselves and 2G1C. On the flip side, 2G1C made a few big trades and many pundits thought they were in his favor. This is still a team you do not want to see in the playoffs, trust me - if 2G1C gets in the playoffs, they have a legitimate chance to pull a few upsets.
Prediction: The J-Bones win.... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: The J-Bones win.... RIGHT!!
Penis Fly Trap (6-5) v Ankle Holster (5-6)
This was another crucial matchup in terms of the playoff push. Both teams came into this week sitting at 5-5 and now this was a win that was needed. PFT had a great showing across the board - but it did cost them Burrow. Is that a price they can pay? The jury is out on that one. On the flip side, Ankle Holster is shoved closer to the brink of elimination. The next two weeks are key matchups - Remember the Redskins and Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams.
Prediction: Penis Fly Trap wins.... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster wins... WRONG!!
Bluffton Backup Backups (4-7) v Dixie Normous (4-7)
Let's be honest, both of these teams are pretty much eliminated. Dixie Normous won the belt - congrats... you still ain't making the playoffs!
Prediction: Bluffton Backup Backups wins.... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Bluffton Backup Backups wins.... WRONG!!
Asymmetric TDs** (7-4) v iTouchdown There* (6-5)
This was a big battle between two teams that know how to score points. iTouchdown lived up to the hype and scored the 3rd most points this week. On the flip side, TDs is not doing itself any justice to wrap-up their division. They still sit atop their division, but a few more wins may have them sitting atop the entire league. On the flip side, iTouchdown is still in the middle of the playoff push - but they own the tiebreaker against everyone... the perks of scoring a lot of points. They should be able to make the playoffs - but we have seen crazier things....
Predictions: iTouchdown There wins.... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: iTouchdown There wins.... RIGHT!!
PEN15 Wrinkle (4-6) v Remember the Redskins* (8-3)
2 Thoughts....
A) PEN15 Wrinkle's team is horrible
II) I lost to that team... last week.
Prediction: Remember the Redskins wins... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Remember the Redskins wins.... RIGHT!!
3rd and 41* (5-6) v Solo Driving Asians (5-6)
Who would have seen this coming? SDA has now won 3 out of the last 4 weeks and rising from the dead. If momentum was thing, it has shifted entirely from ARBL and moved to SDA. With a visit from PEN15 Wrinkle next - Asians have a chance of keeping this ride going for a little bit longer. On the flip side, this was a dropped opportunity from 3rd and 41. 3rd and 41 now needs to lock up 2 more wins, although this season is getting crazy and we could see a 6-win team make the playoffs... will it be 3rd and 41?
Prediction: 3rd and 41 wins... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: 3rd and 41 wins... WRONG!!
Hernandez Hit Men* (6-5) v Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams (4-7)
Let's just say that ARBL got completely screwed this week. ESPN leagues allowed Taysom Hill to be played as a TE, which allowed HHM to essentially have 2 QBs in the lineup. What do you do? Not only that, but the announcement came late in the week, and neither myself nor the mystery guest were able to change our picks - something we both clearly would have done.
Prediction: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams wins... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams wins... WRONG!!
Season: 39-38, BP 1
Mystery Guest: 38-39, BP 1
