A plane takes off and when it lands the world has surpassed 5 years. Those that were on the plane then receive "callings" which direct them to helping people around them.
That in itself is a simple, yet effective plot line. For example, one family had the father and son take vouchers to take be bumped to the flight. When they landed, the twin daughter was now 5 years older than the son. The mother went and got married (the plane passengers had been declared dead), actively trying to have a baby. Multiple passengers family members had died or moved on or aged dramatically. The father lost 5 years with his daughter... can you imagine landing than your daughter went from 12 to 17?
Sign me up.
Then on top of that you throw in the secret government agencies and people who want to weaponize the "Callings." Then you have a group vigilantes who are strongly against the plane people and they begin to attack them. Crazy.
To say it safely, I have moved on from porn for the time being.
Let's see if the I can get some "Callings" and continue to dominate the Mystery Guest in the predictions.
Matchup of the Week
Hoosier Daddy?** (6-3) v ETN out your Grandma* (5-4)
These two teams find themselves near the top of the league - and for good reason. Hoosier has the first half MVP and one of the top 3 wide receivers in NFL. Not to mention the emergence of Jalen Hurts and Tony Pollard taking over the starting role (essentially). On the flip side, ETN has found a gem in Justin Fields - which is needed considering J. Taylor has done absolutely nothing as the number 1 pick in the league. The callings have told me that this matchup will have the most combined points.
Prediction: Hoosier Daddy
Mystery Guest: Hoosier Daddy
The Cochness Monster (3-6) v Bluffton Backup Backups (4-5)
First off, I feel like I am getting pranked right now. BBB has played Sam Ehlinger over Tua Tagovailoa the past two weeks - resulting in a loss of 27+ points. Then I pull up this matchup and he has Tua starting - in fact he has his optimal lineup in. Every week this season, BBB has yet to start with his optimal lineup (projected) at the beginning of the week. Nonetheless, TCM needs to win this week - if not, they are cashing it in for the season. The callings are telling me that TCM picks up a must needed win, with heavy help from CMC and Jacobs.

Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams (3-6) v Side Set TD's (6-3)
This is a crucial week for ARBL - if they don't win (as well pretty much every other 3-6) they will be on the brink of eliminate... pending schedules they could even be eliminated. On the flip side, Titties has somehow worked their way to 6-3 and if you look at their lineup you question how that is even possible. After Chase went down, their lineup took a huge hit - no longer having a player inside the top 5 of PRK. ARBL needs to win and this should be a week when they can pull one out. The callings are telling me this is the biggest point differential between all seven matchups.
Prediction: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams
Mystery Guest: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams
OBJs in the Stands** (5-4) v Watson's Happy Ending** (7-2)
This is a top-notch matchup between two top-notch teams. Watson is in the driver's seat of the league and they could not have been given a bigger gift with having Jackson on their bye week. OBJ may or may not be with Allen - even he does play the injury will need to be managed throughout the weeks to come. These two teams have had big production from their QB position... and now both teams will need to rely on a backup. The team that has the better supporting cast? Happy Ending still has D. Henry/T. Hill in the lineup - both are top 3 PRK. They also have Palmer, who is in line for big production with the injuries to the LAC wide receivers. The callings are telling me that Happy Ending wins with big weeks from Henry and.... Foreman.
Prediction: Watson's Happy Ending
Mystery Guest: OBJs in the Stands
Gruden Email Editor* (6-3) v PEN15 Wrinkle (2-7)
Plain and Simple: Wrinkle is the worst team in the league.... or has been. This week they get Mahomes and Hardman against Jacksonville as well as Harris and Patterson back. Wrinkle gets the core of their back and is this the week they get a needed win - moreover, they hurt the chances of Email Editor. Doubt it. There is just too much firepower on the lineup of Gruden's roster. Waddle. Walker. Hopkins. Samuel. This is a lineup that has some serious firepower. The callings are telling me that Email Editor wins this one easily Wrinkle drops even further into depths of the cellar.
Prediction: Gruden Email Editor
Mystery Guest: Gruden Email Editor
Ayahuasca Dreamer (5-4) v Ankle Holster (2-7)
Everything you read in the prior matchup - forget it. Ankle Holster is the worst team in the league. Now, their favorite player is going against them... at this point you may as well root Rodgers and the Dreamers. There is nothing going for on here for Mr. Long Dick. Dreamer has a squad that should make a run for the playoffs - but the injury to Allen directly affects the roster of Dreamer with a heavy reliance on Diggs. The callings are telling me that Dreamer wins this matchup with little help from Diggs.
Prediction: Ayahuasca Dreamer
Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster
The J-Bones (4-5) v Not Big Red* (5-4)
NBR just captured their first belt title ever. Congrats kid - now back down to earth with a matchup against a team that is welcoming back their stallions. When The J-Bones are at full strength, this is a team that I would not want to face. They are loaded with potential throughout: Murray/Barkley/Ekeler/Evans/JuJu. Too many options to have big weeks. The callings are telling me that The J-Bones not only win this week, but they also win the belt for the first time this year.
Prediction: The J-Bones
Mystery Guest: The J-Bones
As always, I wish everyone good luck - except for you Bluffton Backup Backups, may your entire team burn in a fiery helicopter crash eerily similar to the one that took down Kobe!
With Love,
Commish
