Good morning everyone, welcome to the PCDL Round 1 Recap. We are only looking at the matchups, we don’t care about the byes, they will be back in the mix tomorrow. See who went home this weekend and Professor Pickum.
v.
#3 Touchdown Guy v. #6 Batman
Touchdown Guy has been an absolute wagon all four years of the PCDL. If you had to look at each year, this year was the squeakiest wheel at the wrong time. Batman is out for vengence. TDG had the tallest QB come up short with 20 points. With Josh Allen being a center piece, that is not great. Derrick Henry might be done too, he had 3. James Conner was great with 16, Kupp had 21, Evans 14, Godwin 21, and Higgins with 20. What a week, really. The problem is Batman had a bonkers week. Lamar was fine with 24, Hubbard a solid 11, McBride out of no where with 15. But it gets better. James Cook, an absolute bum all year, put up 35 points. Kyren had 22, Njoku finally had a big week with 21 and Jakobi Meyers had 17. Who knows what DeVonta Smith will do, and who cares, Batman is moving on and looking to be the second 6-Seed to ever win it all. Batman wins 162.75 to 135.1.
v.
#4 Teach v. #5 Pistol
With knowing the result of the 3/6 matchup there is one team that wishes he lost the final week of the season. These two stunk. Neither deserves to win, neither deserves to move on, neither deserves anything. Teach had the lead going into Monday Night, but how did he get there? Ahhhh no Tyreek?!? Waddle came up big with 24, Hunter Henry had 16, Tyler Kraft had 14 and so did Mixon. Not a ton of points but ok for Monday Night. Pistol is down 16 with two to go. Purdy had 38, Gibbs had 24, Jayden Reed had 14 and Kincaid had 0. Pistol needed 16 from Kenneth Walker III and A.J. Brown. Pistol got 27 and is moving on. Pistol wins 124.6 to 114.
Consolation Bracket
v.
#9 Daddy Wombat v. #12 Mush’s Mongrels
This is hilarious. D.W. got smoked, well maybe, still had 3 to go Monday night. Kamara had 14 and Kmet had 11. D.W. needed 93 points from Hurts, JSN, and Metcalf. Mush did the thing this weekend. Browning had 19, White had 21, Clyde Frog had 18, Palmer had 19, McKinnon added 17 and DeMarcus Robinson had 14. D.W. came up short and the team with 1 win gets his second in the Consolation Bracket, Mush wins 138.4 to 94.45.
v.
#10 Bottom Bunk v. #11 Bruce
B.B. is a fan favorite (probably not) and everyone hates Bruce (100% a real thing). B.B. faced a man that fears everything. Bruce had D.J. Moore, Zeke, Najee, Flowers, Mingo and Engram all go for under 10. That is funny stuff. B.B. saw 43 from Baker, all he really needed. B.B. wins this thriller 79.95 to 71.85.
That does it for the matchups, now we get into the picks.

What a weekend. A lot of the bye week teams got banged up so it will be interesting to see if they bounce back for the round before the big dance. Until then I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.
Let’s Go!
