Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 2 Preview. We are a week in and things are getting juicy already. We can only guarantee that one team will remain unbeaten after this week. It is going to be disgusting that one of those teams is undefeated. We won’t waste much time, we will get into the picks, Professor Pickum, and our new power rankings.
Game of the week.
v.
CrossFit v. Teach
CrossFit is looking to get right after a tough week 1 matchup. CrossFit will have to make the decision between Goff, Dak, and Fields. He also has to find a replacement for CMC who is not likely to play in Week 2. However, CrossFit does have Barkley, Deebo, and St. Brown to rely on. CrossFit will need to see more out of Kelce, Lockett, and Cooper. Rachaad White is known for his yardage, but a TD never hurt anyone. Teach is looking to stay hot. Tua, Tyreek, and Waddle need to be on each week for Teach to compete. Mixon, Aaron Jones, and Stevenson all had monster weeks and he needs two of the three to do the same. The rest, doesn’t really matter, Teach just needs his stars to perform. Right now CrossFit is a 6 point favorite, I think he gets it done this week. Miami is playing on a short week, those usually do not result in high end fantasy productions.
v.
Batman v. Mush Mongrels
We have our game of the week and then the biggest blowout of the week. Batman is coming off of a low scoring victory. I think he wants to prove a point this week and he’s facing the best opponent to do such. Batman has Lamar, James Cook, Kyren, Achane, DeVonta Smith, and Olave. He needs to see his young WRs perform. Mush is just counting down the weeks until the draft. Mush has *checks notes* no one. Batman is a 46 point favorite. I think he sneaks by in this week 2 matchup.
v.
Bruce v. Bottom Bunk
The battle of the unbeatens. Bruce and Bottom Bunk, just like we all predicted. Bruce has Jayden Daniels, JT, Najee, Zeke, D.J. Moore, Flowers, and Likely. Bottom Bunk has AR15, Breece, Bijan, Drake, and Pickens. Both teams are volatile. Both teams have false hope right now by being undefeated. The ball will drop for one of these teams, but the question remains, which one? Bruce is a 3 point favorite and I think he gets it done again this week relying on JT.
v.
Touchdown Guy v. Trashman
TDG is coming off of almost being lead dog. Trashman is coming off of a bad week. Things are not going to get better for Trashman. TDG has Josh Allen, Josh Jacobs, James Conner, Evans, Godwin, and Kupp. The Puka replacement for this week will be Tee Higgins. That is a pretty good replacement. Trashman does not have a lot of players projected to go over 10 points. Trashman has Pacheco, Moss, and LaPorta. Trashman would need Randy Moss instead of Zack Moss to compete this week. TDG is a 56 point favorite, I think he gets it done.
v.
PeePaw v. Daddy Wombat
Neither of these teams have a win. Based on the paper, PeePaw should win, based on luck, PeePaw should lose. There is no team in the history of PCDL that has had worse luck than PeePaw. It could be traced back to PeePaw claiming that Justin Herbert would not outscore Patrick Mahomes a few years back. However, I think the curse will not apply to this week. These two teams also made a trade. PeePaw send Gus Bus and a 2nd to D.W. for Alvin Kamara. This additional run support should help PeePaw, and also remove D.W. from winning consideration. It was a good trade by both teams. PeePaw is rolling, Herbert, Monty, Kamara, Adams, Jefferson, Lamb, with a side of Rice. That should be more than enough fire power to overcome D.W. D.W. has Hurts, Worthy, and Metcalf. While those few did not all perform this last week, I don’t think it will matter what they do this week. PeePaw should get it done. PeePaw is a 28 point favorite this week.
v.
JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Pistol
JD3 lost a close one and Pistol had a big win. Pistol is looking to make his playoff push. JD3 is trying to salvage a season. JD3 has Mahomes, Sing, Etienne, Dobbins, Diggs, Chase, and Nico. Pistol has Stroud, Walker, Ford, A.J. Brown, Wilson, Reed, and Gibbs. Pistol also has a competent tight end in Pitts or Kincaid, so clear advantage to Pistol there. Pistol is a 5 point favorite, this is a must win for Pistol this week. I would think Pistol gets it done, but we will have to wait and see.
Professor Pickum is back. Last week he was 1-2 and can hardly get worse. Let’s see if he can bounce back and make some good picks for once.

Week 2 Study Guide
Before I jump in **** Will Levis (editorial reminder this is a family friendly blog). Okay, onward:
Buffalo Bills @ Miami Dolphins Under 49
Hypothesis:
- For sucha high powered offense in the Dolphins, you might be surprised to know that they have gone under in six of their last games, they have only exceeded this total twice.
- Bills on the other side have a solid defense and still looing for their identity with new young weapons on offense.
- Primetime Unders aren’t fun but they hit and they are back on TNF this week.
Seattle Seahawks -3.5 @ New England Patriots
Hypothesis:
- Fade this public pick of the week. 85% of bets are coming in on New England after their upset over Cincy in Week 1. However, a whopping 90% of money is on Seattle.
- I see it more likely that the Pats are who we thought they were and that Seattle won’t let them off the hook. I’ll side with the sharps on this one.
Los Angeles Chargers @ Carolina Panthers Under 39
Hypothesis:
- Chargers Unders will be ridden until the wheels fall off (or when they play a competent offense).
We have our all new power rankings. Bad news for teams that failed to hit 100 last week, trades help, and record does not mean you’re good.
That does it for Week 2, hopefully we have better football on the television this week, but any football is good football. I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow. We will see you after all the games with the Week 2 Recap.
Let’s Go!
