Week 8 Results

Boo!!! Did I scare you? It is Halloweenie Time - or is it? By the time this actually gets posted/read you will all be stealing your children's candy - or neighbor's candy - or maybe you will just be out Trick or Treating yourself... cough cough SPENCER cough cough. There will be plenty of costumes out there: ghosts, unicorns, monkey, dogs, cats. To be fair, you don't really need to wait for Halloween - just stroll through the schools across this great nation. I mean you could literally just identify as anything then just dress up as a human. Wouldn't that be the craziest costume? Some whack job dresses up as human and then they proceed to tell you that they are a unicorn that dressed up as a human boy. What a world we live in. Or maybe, you get one of those special trannies that dress up as their actual gender.

A girl who identifies as a boy then dresses up as a girl. Or plot twist... it is a boy who identifies as a girl then dresses up as Amanda Byrnes from, "She's The Man." Which is a movie about a girl who dresses up like a boy. My brain is hurting just putting together these combinations. 

On to the matchups...

Matchup of the Week

Ayahuasca Dreamer (5-3) v Side Set TD's (5-3)

You know that ole saying, "They are who they thought they were..." Not the case when it comes to Dreamer. Shocker here: I have never picked the Dreamers to win a matchup this season. Yet, here they are 5-3 and fighting for a top seed in the league. Their lineup has a lot of players who are good at football. Outside of Diggs, nobody overpowering - just consistently good at football. On the flip side, what happen to Las Vegas??? Holy sh*t, was that unexpected. Carr and Adams threw up all over their sweater, mom's spaghetti. This is not what was expected from the Raider offense and the two stars.

Prediction: Side Set TD... WRONG!!

Mystery Guest: Ayahuasca Dreamer... RIGHT!!

The Cochness Monsters (3-5) v PEN15 Wrinkle (2-6)

Turns out, Mahomes and Hardman are hard to replace for Wrinkle. Hardman's possible replacements scored 2.6 or 7.3 (depending on lineups). Yikes, Wrinkle might be the worst team in the league - although that is up for debate. Even though the score looks lopsided, this was really only a one man show. Run CMC look to have found a home and is back to his old self, literally doing it all. TCM could make a sneaky run into the playoffs and that is where anything can happen!

Prediction: The Cochness Monsters... RIGHT!!

Mystery Guest: PEN15 Wrinkle... WRONG!!

The J-Bones (4-4) v Watson's Happy Ending** (6-2)

Is this Happy Ending's league to lose? I mean, are we all just essentially waiting for them to either hoist the Ron Jeremy Trophy or get hit with a slew of injuries - that might be the only way to slow down this runaway train. This roster looks like the Cradle of the RB's - but they are going to need help in the WR/TE position. Sure they have T. Hill - but after that, not a whole lot. Who really cares when you have the RB's though? Could there be a move? Who really needs 6 RB's that a playable? On the flip side, The J-Bones had to see this coming with Ekeler on the bench. At least that gives you a viable excuse, right?

Prediction: Watson's Happy Ending... RIGHT!!

Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams (3-5) v Bluffton Backup Backups (4-4)

It seems that the ride is coming to an end for BBB... the Colts are bad. BBB's commitment to the Colts is strong though, who actually starts Ehlinger over Tua? Yikes. Not sure it would have mattered now that Dak is back and feeling good. Who really expected 25.9 points out of Tyler Conklin - I feel like the Jets always have a decent TE that quietly falls around the top ten. ARBL is looking to keep this ride going next week when they face the top team of the league - hopefully the double TE works again!

Prediction: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams... RIGHT!!

OBJs in the Stands** (4-4) v Hoosier Daddy* (5-3)

What a great week for Hoosier Daddy! Hurts is really good at Fantasy Football... and actual football... Fly Eagles Fly! Not too mention that DJ Moore loves the fact that Carolina sent out CMC and benched Baker, he just doesn't love wearing helmets after making big catches. On the flip side, I never would have thought that Kamara is on a losing team, yet here we are in all three of my leagues he is on the losing team. The highest point scorer of the week (Kamara) and no help... OBJ was looking strong, but now they are in the middle of the pack and will be fighting for a spot in the playoffs.

Prediction: OBJs in the Stands... WRONG!!

Mystery Guest: Hoosier Daddy... RIGHT!!

ETN out your Grandma (4-4) v Ankle Holster (2-6)

Remember that team that I said may already own the spot for the worst team in the league? I present to you... Ankle Holster. It should also be said, there was a major trade that took place after the writing of the predictions - the other team won handedly... whoops. ETN did have a very nice week though - Fields is figuring out how to be an NFL quarterback and AJ Brown had a huuuuuge week. Both are very nice things for ETN.

Prediction: Ankle Holster... WRONG!!

Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster... WRONG!!

Gruden Email Editor* (5-3) v Not Big Red (4-4) 

In the only matchup that really needed to wait for the outcome of the MNF game... and it was not the night that Email was needing. Everyone thought that Joey B and the Boys were going to move through Cleveland and continue on their way to being a contender in the NFL. Instead, Cleveland flipped the script and shut down Burrow - which lead to a big loss for Email. It has to be disheartening knowing that Email had the top two scorers in this matchup. In this case, consistency wins over boom-or-bust.

Prediction: Gruden Email Editor... WRONG!! 

Mystery Guest: Not Big Red... RIGHT!!

Season Predictions: 30-26

Mystery Guest: 23-33
