If I am being completely honest - my mind is definitely not on writing this blog. I wanted to try and give it a fair effort... I tried to turn on the Monday Night Football game, I tried to place a bet. But alas, I am in Texas on vacation and I playing my dad in golf tomorrow.... and my bean sac is still a little sore (but improving quickly - I know you were concerned). I couldn't place the bet because I called it in too late and I can't place bets in Texas because it sucks when it comes to realizing the online sport gambling is awesome.
Soooooo, as it is, I did not get to place my bet - which would have hit in the first half (Diggs to score anytime). Ohhhh well, at least Henry is having a big week and my team is coasting to another victory....
Matchup of the Week
PEN15 Wrinkle (4-2) v Hernandez Hit Men* (5-1)
I mean HOLY F*CKIN' SHIT - this deserve so much hate for what just took place in a MotW. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I have had to put a team in the record book for lowest scoring in a week... EVER. We are talking about in all of the history of this league's existence - this is the worst a team has ever done in a week. We are talking about single players scoring more in one week than this team scored. I also can't remember a time when a team won with the 2nd lowest scoring output - we are going back to Dr. Cooler days. You are both a disgrace to the MotW... neither one of you will ever grace the presence of this spotlight for the remainder of the season. You need to go home and apologize to your loved ones for what you have done.
Prediction: Hernandez Hit Men... RIGHT!!

The Fortune Cockies (5-1) v Ankle Holster (0-6)
Not a real shocker here.... the only disappointing thing about this matchup was Ankle Holster not even playing a full Green Bay Packers starting lineup. I mean if you are going to commit to a strategy (or something that is just cool) - you may as well go full blown. Even more interesting, Ankle Holster would have beaten two teams this week... and one of those teams is going to be credited with a win.
Prediction: The Fortune Cockies... RIGHT!!

DK Country* (3-3) v Country Roads (4-2)
In a battle for the word "Country," it went about as unexpected for Country Roads as it could go. To think that 2 of their top 4 point scorers came from their running backs and they still lost is absurd. McLaurin/Knox/Smith all dropped the ball (see what I did there) and didn't pull their weight when it came to scoring points. On the flip side, consistent scoring from everyone except Moss provided a decent scoring output and secured da win for DK Country.
Prediction: DK Country... RIGHT!!

Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas*** (4-2) v Church Vans (2-4)
ARBL locked up the win and then tried to make a run at the belt on MNF. With Sanders/Beasley/Bass all playing there was a definite chance - given how well Allen has been playing and how much he has loved sharing the ball. The three players pulled through.... but just barely - and ARBL has now won the belt in 3 out the 4 times they win. On the flip side, it more of the same for Church Vans - stud pass catchers and no running backs. Waddle/Kelce/Andrews (just acquired in a trade) made big impacts - but Edmonds and Williams just couldn't throw in a big game. It also doesn't help when your DEF and K get outscored by 20+ points.
Prediction: Church Vans... WRONG!!

Hoosier Daddy? (3-3) v Teardrop TD's (2-4)
As lopsided as this matchup appears to be - it was even more so considering Allen and Diggs played in MNF. Hoosier Daddy just didn't have his best stuff this week with all of LAC's offense struggling to find open space. On the flip side, Lamb had a huuuuge week and finally put together a week that many people expect a little more often. Some big time weeks from some unexpected players also helped along the way (D. Williams, N. Fant, Rams DEF). This matchup was closed up before MNF, but Allen and Diggs tried to make it look closer than it really was.
Prediction: Hoosier Daddy?... WRONG!!

The J-Bones (2-4) v Dixie Normous (1-5)
In a battle of the 1-4's one team looked much better than their record, while the other team showcased that they belong in the back of the pack. There is a definite depth issue for Dixie Normous - Taylor is good, but after him there is a large gap of talent. Some may suggest one of two options: A) Trade away Taylor for multiple players that fill in a deep starting lineup, B) Stay the course and just accept reality. On the flip side, very consistent output from a team that still gets to add Run CMC when he finally returns. This is a dangerous squad if they make the playoffs and can return to full strength.
Prediction: The J-Bones... RIGHT!!

Bluffton Backup Backups (3-3) v Gruden's Emails* (F.S.) (4-2)
I was just double checking - but yes, that is 154 points from a team that also had 3.7 points scored and 2 points scored. Yet again, the white receivers were at it again - Thielen and Kupp combined for 63.8 points - over half of what BBB scored. On the flip side, BBB had a consistent day - but it is going to take more than that to beat a team that scores 154 points. We have a team losing while scoring 120 points and a team winning while scoring 75 point. Some call it bad luck, some call it unfortunate - everyone calls it fantasy football.
Prediction: Fresh Start... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Bluffton Backup Backups... WRONG!!
Season: 28-14
Mystery Guest: 17-25
