I am not sure what is crazier... scoring your highest point total as a team and losing (BEKH) or winning with your 2nd lowest point total as a team (ARBL). There must be something in the water with those acronym teams. This was weird week with football in general...
Bills lost to Miami
Jets won their 2nd game
Saints won their 2nd game
Drake Maye is the MVP favorite
Both TNF and MNF games were absolute trash - a combined 34 points, with both games ending at 10-7.
On top of that, we also had some of the biggest performances we have seen in a long time...
Johnathan Taylor - 49.6 points
De'Von Achane - 40.5 points
Jahmyr Gibbs - 38.2 points
After that, it drops down 10 points and we don't have another player that scored over 30 points. This is the fewest number of players to score over 30 points since week 3 - and there were 4 players that scored 29.something.
Weird things are happening in football.... weird things.
Who would have thought that best 2 QB in the league, and top two candidates to win the MVP, would be Drake Maye and Matthew Stafford. Don't get me wrong, they are dawgs.... but nobody saw this coming at the beginning of the season.
Weird things are happening in football.... weird things.
Nobody saw the Jets and the cocaine driven Dolphins winning this week. I don't know what kind of party these teams were at the night before, but sign me up!

Matchup of the WeekProject Tush Push (6-4) v Frosted Flaccos (8-2)
It is one thing to change your name. It is another thing to change your name a 2nd time. It is another thing to change your name to a player that isn't even playing in the same week. It is another thing to keep doing that and then winning.
Get it the f*ck together Tush Push. Just because the Packer suck doesn't mean your team needs to suck as well. There can only be one sucker... just not enough suckables to go around.

Nips and Salsa (8-2) v BEKH (4-6)
Highest point total all season... check
Running back goes off for 40 points.... check
Wide receiver scores 20 points.... check
Opponent sat a defense that scored 20 points and played a defense that score -1.... check
Won the matchup.... NOPE
How is that possible? Achane scored the highest point total in the matchup and the 2nd highest in the league. Nips played the Buccs defense, who score -1 points. Egbuka continued his tear in his campaign for ROTY. And yet, Nips still prevail.

1st Downs Syndrome (6-4) v Cleveland Streamers (3-7)
I am going to be honest, this is the first matchup that made sense. The exact quatro that I thought would win the battle, did win. What doesn't make sense to me is how Kylie Minogue can still rush for a touchdown at the ripe age of 57 and after her singing career.

The J-Bones (6-4) v Indiana Jones (4-6)
You really don't need for much else when your top scorer nearly grabs himself a Curtis Jackson. I almost never call how things are going to work out in the games correctly... but hot dang did I nail a Berlin chick on this one. It was as if someone within the organization had tipped me off and I just knew.
Now wouldn't it be funny, if some big wig stumbled upon this blog and then they had to do a full investigation into the Indianapolis organization. Just wait... it is going to happen. I will never reveal my source.

Bootay Pirates (5-5) v Slender TD's (2-8)
This was a big loss for Slender TD's... especially when you get some decent performances from Puka and Marvin. It did take 20 points from the Seattle defense and Tez Johnson to take down Slender TD's. It is wild to think that Puka is most likely going to be on the outside looking in when it comes to the playoffs. I mean truthfully, I look at Slender's team and I am actually dumbfounded at how they are 2-8.
Mahomes. King Henry. Puka. MHJ. Breece.

2AP (3-7) v Ertz/Eifert (8-2)
The rise and fall of Chubba Hubbard is something that not even Enron could mirror. Without Chubba this team is reliant on big time scores and when you remove Chase from the lineup (bye) then you are just removing a big-time playmaker. On the flip side, Stafford is the shock on the league (helps when he is throwing to Puka) and he is playing top-tier football. Dowdle has been a big pickup, but this is almost a team of destiny. Lineup looks shaky.... but they just keep winning.

ARBL (5-5) v AR's Finger (2-8)
This is a big win for ARBL... even if it is against a struggling team. When you are 5-5, you give yourself a fighting chance. However, scoring 70 points is not going to be a way to win in future weeks. It will be interesting for these teams to go down the stretch with one team fighting for a spot and one team playing the spoiler. I predict one of these teams will knock out a team in the playoff running. But for this week, there is nothing better than scoring the 2nd lowest point total and still getting the win....
