DIII Digest

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 13 Recap. Spoiler, everyone is still playoff eligible. While unlikely for some, we still have hope for everyone. We take a look at some of our big games with a lot on the line that set up a crucial end of season. Let’s dive into our Game of the Week, matchups, Tilt, and playoff projections.

Game of the Week

v.

Teach v. CrossFit

Waddle hurt myself today, Tua see if I still feel, Hill focus on the pain, Pollard only thing that’s real, Burks tears a hole, the Murray familiar sting, try to kill my bye away, but I remember Stevenson. What has Teach become, my winless friend, everyone he has goes away playoff time. Teach saw Tua, Waddle, and Burks get banged up. Pollard had 24, Stevenson 11, Hill 25, and Pierce had 17. Well, you can tell by that Lockett walk, I’m a Christian man, no time to talk, Barkley loud and St. Brown warm, I’ve been kicking around since Ekler was born, and now Freiermuth is alright, he’s ok, and Cooper may look the other way, Fields can try to understand, the playoff birth effect on a man. Whether you’re Kelce, or a Butker, you’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive. Feel the bench breakin’ and the IR is shakin’ and we’re stayin’ alive, staying’ alive, Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive, Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive. CrossFit saw big weeks from St. Brown with 29, CMC 25, Lockett 23, Barkley 17, and Ekeler’s 11. This keeps CrossFit in the hunt for the 1 seed. CrossFit needs a win and an upset by B.B. over Teach. CrossFit wins 162.56 to 137.45.

v.

PeePaw v. Trashman

Heading into Sunday night this was a close matchup. Heading into Monday night Trashman would need a miracle. PeePaw’s backs Cook and Monty combined for 30. Justin Jefferson had 15. New WR1 Davante Adams put up 34 points. CeeDee Lamb put the tentative nail in the coffin with 18 points Sunday night. Trashman was down 12 entering Monday needing Juice Landry’s best performance in years. PeePaw still had a kicker to go. Juice got 2 and PeePaw got the win 140.85 to 125.59. PeePaw now faces TDG in a huge matchup. The playoff implications will be discussed below. There is a lot going on here.

v.

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Touchdown Guy

The matchup to set up the matchup. JD3’s former TDG player Keenan Allen said “I’m healthy, I would like to score points please.” (paraphrasing). Kee was major with 18. Diggs loves catching TDs from the tall Josh Allen. Diggs put up 19 and helped Josh Allen get 25 for TDG. Sing was involved in a 3-way trade with JD3 and TDG, putting Sing on JD3’s roster. Sing had a nice day with 11. Sanders added 11, Terry “who is not good enough to start on a below .500 team allegedly” McLaurin had a 9 plus 10 outing, Big Ev added 11, and Ja’Marr Chase had 13 in his triumphant return. TDG was lead dog for a minute on Thursday. Then things changed. B-Rob had 12, Josh Jacobs tried to win the week with 20, Perine had 19, Gallup added a late 16, and it would all come down to the former JD3 draft pick Mike Evans. Big Mike put up 8 and it was not enough. JD3 wins 143.95 to 124.33. JD3 is in the driver’s seat. He has a points lead on PeePaw and PeePaw faces TDG for a potential seeding battle. JD3 just needs to win and should have the #2 seed locked up.

v.

Pistol v. Batman

Batman wins.

v.

Daddy Wombat v. Mush’s Mongrels

D.W. eliminated Mush from the playoffs, all while keeping their hope alive. Hurts put up 47, Pierce had 11, Metcalf had 23, Kmet had 10, and sneaky start of the week Greg the Leg added 20. Mush saw double digits from Christian Kirk and Geno. Did I mention he has Deebo? Deebo does not like to score points. D.W. wins 132.2 to 115.95. Mush continues his low scoring affair despite declaring himself as the future Toilet Bowl Champion.

v.

Bottom Bunk v. Bruce

Bottom Bunk saw double digits from Drake London with 13 and 10 from Jamaal Williams. His QB failed to score 10 points, yikes. Bruce finds himself in the playoff mix. Burrow put up 39, Zeke had 17, JT and Slayton combined for 24, and Najee put up 10. Monday night Bruce piled it on with Godwin and Fournette combining for 21 points. Bruce wins 133.6 to 48.35 (yes real score with a set lineup) and likely sneaks in as the 6 seed.

Dr. Tilt’s Week 13 Prescription

Buffalo Bills -3.5 @ New England Patriots

BANG!

Washington Commanders @ New York Giants u40.5

BANG!

Miami Dolphins +4 @ San Francisco 49ers

Nope.

Week 13: 2-1
Season Record: 21-20

Playoff Projections.

With the Week 13 matchups in the books we have:

1. Teach wins and gets 1 seed.
2. JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons is the points leader over PeePaw. A win and staying within 24 points of PeePaw gets him the 2 seed. A lose he would need TDG to beat PeePaw and to outscore TDG by 4.
3. CrossFit with a game lead over Touchdown Guy, JD3, PeePaw, and the points advantage. CrossFit likely gets the #3 seed, but a loss by Teach and win by CrossFit would give CrossFit the 1 seed.
4. PeePaw needs to win to keep the 4 seed away from TDG and a win and JD3 loss or win and outscoring JD3 by 24 gives him the 2 seed.
5. TDG needs a win over PeePaw to get the 4 seed. Win and loss by JD3 and keeping it within 4 gets him the 2 seed.
6. Bruce is the points leader for the 6 seed. Bruce cannot get higher than this seed. Bruce has Batman this week, so the playoffs are essentially locked in here.
7. Trashman keeps the 7 seed unless Trashman loses and Mush and/or Pistol win.
8. Pistol keeps the 8 seed unless he wins and Trashman loses. Pistol keeps the 8 seed unless he loses and Mush wins.
9. Mush is all over the place. A win can put him in the 7 seed. A lose can put him in the 12 seed.
10.  Daddy Wombat probably stays put with Batman and B.B. behind him.
11. Batman probably stays put with B.B. behind him.
12.  B.B. could be relegated after this week.

What a time to be alive. So much can happen this weekend. This is the tightest finish in PCDL history. Thank you for joining the journey. Until next time I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow. Good luck in all of your regular season finales.

Let’s Go!

JonnyDIII

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 13 Preview. This week we have potential to eliminate some teams from the playoffs. A Trashman or Pistol win eliminates Batman and Daddy Wombat. A Trashman or Pistol win and loss from Bottom Bunk or Bruce or Mush ends their playoff run. They are all fighting for the last playoff spot, who cares, we got better games to talk about and none are better than the Game of the Week, we also get into Dr. Tilt and Power Rankings.

Game of the Week

v.

Teach v. CrossFit

This is a must win for CrossFit to keep alive his bye week chances. Teach has a 2 game lead and a win by CrossFit makes it a 1 game lead (math). CrossFit has the points. Speaking of points, Teach has been relying on the trio of Tua, Waddle, and Hill. It will be a tough matchup with San Fran and Hill is a little banged up. Mixon could be back and is essential to add to Teach’s non-Tua points. Higgins may lose production with Chase potentially coming back. The Hockenson trade is working out for Teach like we all thought it would. The concerns are Murray and Burks. The locks are Rhamondre without Harris and Pollard even with Zeke, Pollard had 18 touches last week. It’s a mixed bag. They need to meet their mark to compete with the high-powered offense of CrossFit. CrossFit is praying that Fields is healthy. After watching Jalen Hurts tear up the Packers defense on Sunday night, he is hoping Fields can do it during the day. CMC, Barkley, and Ekeler are phenomenal RBs. Kelce is a monster. CrossFit needs a burst from one of his WRs, whether that is Amari Cooper, Lockett or St. Brown it does not matter, CrossFit just needs the points. CrossFit is a 5 point favorite and I think he keeps his hopes alive and gets the win this week.

v.

PeePaw v. Trashman

Trashman more than likely needs a win to get in. The odds are against him. PeePaw is a force. PeePaw has Herbert, Cook, Jeff Willy, Monty, Lamb, Aiyuk, Jefferson, and Davante. I mean sheesh. Try beating that stacked lineup. PeePaw needs this win to set up a potential Win to get the bye situation. PeePaw is only 21 points out of first in his division. Pair that with a matchup with JD3 next weekend and it could be for the #1 spot in the division. Trashman is fighting for something else. He’s fighting for his shot at the offs. Danny Dimes, Aaron Jones, Pacheco, Chubb, Patterson, Christian Watson, and Mark Andrews. Trashman needs his guys to have the big time performances that they have had in the past. I mean he needs multi TD performances from all of them. I expect PeePaw to be a 30 point favorite come kickoff, and I don’t see a reason for him to lose.

v.

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Touchdown Guy

If I could pick a game of the week I would have picked this one, but it’s out of my hands. This matchup sets up a potential division championship game for next week. That would require JD3 to win. We will see. JD3 has a 3 point lead but that won’t matter much, this is a must win for both teams. JD3 has Mahomes, TDG has the Tall Josh Allen at QB. JD3’s only reliable RB is Miles Sanders this week. TDG’s only reliable RB is Derrick Henry. We got questions in two other spots. JD3 has Etienne and Sing as question marks. TDG has Gibby, B-Rob, and Josh Jacobs as question marks. Etienne and Jacobs are dinged up. Sing is going up against the best fantasy run defense this year and B-Rob and Gibby share a backfield. For TEs we have big Ev and Kittle. Both have been down lately but I think the edge for consistency has to go to Kittle. WR we got some names. JD3 has Keenan going head to head with TDG’s Mike Evans. Revenge game for both. Diggs, McLaurin, Chase, and Pittman round out JD3’s receiving core and hopefully Chase is good to go. TDG has Woods, Thielen, and Cobb. Without question the edge goes to JD3 here. JD3 is only a 10 point advantage here. This one has too many question marks to tell who will get the win. Best of luck to both teams, one of these teams will be in the Championship game.

v.

Pistol v. Batman

Pistol needs a win to put himself into the playoffs. Or Pistol needs to lose to get a better pick. He is in a pinch. Batman needs to lose to get that #1 pick. This is going to be a battle to see who scores the least amount of points. Batman is going to be about a 12 point favorite in this one. Why? Well he has Lamar, Swift, Olave, and Juju. Pistol has Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard. The head to head matchup that can flip this game is Pistol’s A.J. Brown against Batman’s Devonta Smith. I think the winner of that matchup wins the week. We will see.

v.

Daddy Wombat v. Mush’s Mongrels

Well this one is a snoozer. These two teams stink. D.W. at least was able to position themselves for success next year with adding an extra first round pick. Mush was too greedy and will need to make a move in the offseason to get an extra pick cus he needs help. D.W. has Hurts, Kamara, Pierce, Metcalf, Gabe Davis, and Claypool. Mush has Diontae Johnson, Deebo, Palmer, and Kenny Walker. Mush is a 6 point favorite. Both teams are projected under 120 points. I mean my goodness. These guys are on 100 point watch. I am rooting for under 100 points in this matchup and a tie.

v.

Bottom Bunk v. Bruce

Bruce might sneak into the playoffs and he has the matchup this week to help his case. B.B. has no one. Bruce has J.T., Najee, and Godwin. Bruce is a 40 point favorite. Bruce wins big.

Dr. Tilt’s Week 13 Prescription

Buffalo Bills -3.5 @ New England Patriots

This line opened at Bills -6.5 but has quickly been bet down a full 3 points.  This is a classic market overreaction due to the games on Thanksgiving.  Everyone watched the Bills almost lose to the Lions in Detroit and watched the Patriots almost beat the 9-2 Vikings as the turkey and pecan pie was flowing.  This is the first time the Bills and Patriots have played this season but they have played this “year”.  Bills blew out the Patriots in their January playoff game 47-17.  Buffalo needs to keep pace with Miami and New England can’t match Buffalo’s offense, lay the 3.5.

Washington Commanders @ New York Giants u40.5

If the playoffs started today all 4 teams in the NFC BEAST would be in the playoffs.  Not sure a lot of people had that on their bingo card 13 weeks into the season.  This game will have a playoff feel as both of these teams jockey for a wild card sport.  Outdoor divisional games are hitting the under at 71%.  Insert that trend with these pretty pedestrian offenses and this game has under written all over it. 

Miami Dolphins +4 @ San Francisco 49ers

Welcome to the Hype Train week 13 Super Bowl.  Everyone loves both teams and most of it is well deserved.  However, if you look under the hood one of these teams is not like the other.  The 49ers are being touted as maybe the team to beat in the NFC but have you looked at who they have actually beaten?  Let’s recap their 7 wins:  Rams twice, Seahawks, Cardinals, Saints, Panthers, Chargers.  For those keeping track at home, none of those are currently playoff teams.  On the other side of the ball, the Miami Dolphins haven’t lost a game Tua has started and have beaten…… Wait, this is too much analysis.  Mike McDaniel is cool and going back to San Fran for him will be cool.  Take the points.

Last Week: 2-2

Season: 19-19

And now for an all-new power rankings.

Not a lot of movement here. Bottom Bunk and Mush stink. Top 5 are in the playoffs. Trashman and Bruce are fighting for the playoffs.

Things are heating up just like Thanksgiving leftovers. We will see you next week to see who all is out of playoff contention. Until next time I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.

Let’s Go!

JonnyDIII

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 12 Recap. We are all settled in and up 10 pounds from the holidays. We dive into the Matchups, Dr. Tilt and even look at what is left for playoff spots. Let’s get it baby.

Game of the Week

v.

Trashman v. JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons

The Packers kept Trashman’s playoff spot alive, but it was all for not. Trashman started the wrong QB in Danny Dimes instead of T-Law, costing him 17 points. Chubb put up 20, Pacheco put up 15, and that was it for his early starters. The Packers came up big Sunday night but it did not get it done. Aaron Jones had 17 and Christian Watson had 19. JD3 needed this one to keep his #2 seed alive. He needed 13 points from Pittman on Monday night. Etienne got hurt and ended with 0.3, Mooney is done for the year. The D-Hop trade was worth it with 17, Diggs 18, Keenan with 13, and Miles Sanders had 30. Did Pittman get his 13? Well he had 16 and JD3 keeps the bye for now. JD3 wins 148.8 to 124.66.

v.

Mush’s Mongrels v. PeePaw

Mush needed 12 to break 100. For a team that is the “Toilet Bowl Champs” he is struggling a lot to get 100 points. Kenny Walker had 16, must trade for target Deebo had 6, and Geno had 29. Paris Campbell and Diontae Johnson combined for 10. PeePaw housed this one. Herb had 41, Jeff Willy had 12, Davante had 11, Lamb 15, Justin Jefferson had 25, Monty with 13, Schultz with 17, and Foreman with 11. PeePaw’s WRs are gearing up for the playoff run. PeePaw wins 161.15 to 97.8.

v.

Bruce v. Pistol

Bruce is eyeing up that 6 spot. Zeke had 16, D.J. Moore had 18, Godwin had 23, Mack Hollins with 14, and JT and Najee combined for 28 on Monday night to get it done. Pistol got stuck in no man’s land. Starting hot and fading late. Rachaad White had 15, Sutton and A.J. Brown had 11 a piece, and G-Will put up 24 with no z-will (lowercase cus he stinks). Bruce sneaks by winning 139.5 to 119.65.

v.

Daddy Wombat v. Touchdown Guy

I lied. This one was not close. Hurts had 37, D.K. had 15, Zaccheaus had 12, and that was it. TDG won the QB matchup with the Tall Josh Allen having 39, D-Train put up 13, Thielen had 17, Conner with 20, and Josh Jacobs won the week and #2 spot for TDG with 45 points. TDG wins 170.19 to 100.35.

v.

Bottom Bunk v. CrossFit

B.B. saw 11 from Jamaal Williams. CrossFit saw 13 from Barkley, 19 from DeAndre Carter, 13 from Cooper, 14 from Lockett, 20 from Ekeler, 14 from Kelce, and a huge 23 from Amon-Ra St. Brown. CrossFit needs some help to get the #1 seed. CrossFit 170 to 68.8.

v.

Batman v. Teach

Batman hit 100 pints despite only having 3 guys with double digits. Lamar had 29, Njoku put up 11, and the kicker had 11. Teach did not have a huge week from his trio, Tua, Hill, and Waddle combined for 46. The big weeks came from Trylon Burks with 15, Tee Higgins with 21, and T.J. Hockenson having 13. Latavius Murray got in the mix for 10. Teach wins and just needs 1 more to get the #1 seed, 142.95 to 102.

Bengals @ Titans +2.5

BANG!

Chargers -3 @ Cardinals

Nope.

Bonus Pick: Falcons +4.5 @ Commanders

BANG!

Week 12: 2-2
Season Record: 19-19

Playoff Projections.

With the Week 12 matchups in the books we have:

1. Teach at 11-1 with a 2 game lead over CrossFit in his division, needs 1 win to clinch the bye.
2. JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons 8-4 and the points leader over TDG and PeePaw. JD3 has TDG next week and PeePaw the following week. It is his lead to lose.
3. CrossFit 9-3 with a game lead over Touchdown Guy, JD3, PeePaw, and the points advantage. CrossFit likely gets the #3 seed
4. TDG 8-4 and has a slight points lead over PeePaw. TDG, JD3 and PeePaw are all within 21 points of each other.
5. PeePaw 8-4 see TDG and JD3 above, PeePaw in the mix and likely moves up 1 spot next week as he has a fringe playoff team matchup.
6. Trashman 5-7, tied record with Pistol and a game lead on Bruce. Trashman has PeePaw next week and that will likely put Trashman in a win to get in situation for Week 14.

In the mix. Everyone technically. Realistically it is Trashman, Pistol, and Bruce fighting for the 6 seed. Bruce has Bottom Bunk and Batman to close out the season. Bruce also has the points advantage over Trashman. Pistol has to win more than Trashman and Bruce because he’s down about 200 points. It will heat up. It will be interesting. No one is technically eliminated from the playoffs. But the 1-5 projected seeds are all locked in to the playoffs, it is just a matter of where. Mush and Bottom Bunk are only a game back but they can’t score points. Daddy Wombat, and Batman are 2 games out and would need a miracle to get in.

Well that does it for this week. We will be back tomorrow with our Week 13 Preview. Until then I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.

Let’s Go!

JonnyDIII

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 12 Preview. We quick again, matchups, Tilt plus bonus pick, and power rankings. Let’s get this bread baby.

Game of the Week

v.

Trashman v. JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons

This is the only playoff potential matchup. Trashman has some RBs, Patterson, Aaron Jones, and Nick Chubb.  Trashman has Mark Andres and budding star Christian Watson. JD3 has Pat Mahomes and a new WR room. JD3’s new WRs are DeAndre Hopkins, Stefon Diggs, McLaurin, Pittman, and Keenan Allen. Possibly, JaMarr Chase if he’s back. I mean wow, what a group of WRs. JD3 only has Etienne at RB as someone to watch out for. JD3 is a 32 point favorite, we will see if he can keep things rolling.

v.

Mush’s Mongrels v. PeePaw

Mush is practically done. Kenny Walker, Deebo, Christian Kirk, and Josh Palmer. PeePaw has Herb, Cooks, Adams, Lamb, Jefferson, and Monty. PeePaw simply has more guys and needs this one to stay in the mix for the top seed of his division. PeePaw is a 32 point favorite and easily destroys Mush.

v.

Bruce v. Pistol

Bruce has JT, Najee, D.J. Moore, and Chris Godwin. Pistol has Sutton and A.J. Brown. Bruce needs this one to get into the mix of the 6^th seed. Pistol just lost Pitts to the IR. Bruce just saw burst from his busted backs. I think Bruce sneaks one out. He’s going to be about a 25 point favorite when it is all said and done.

v.

Daddy Wombat v. Touchdown Guy

D.W. has Hurts, Kamara, Pierce, and D.K. TDG has Derrick Henry, Gibby, Mike Evans, Kittle, and Josh Jacobs. TDG is hurting at WR but his RB room is solid. TDG needs this win to hopefully get the bye week. He is banged up, and that bye can get him far enough that anything can happen. TDG is going to be about a 12 point favorite come kickoff, I think he squeaks one out. This will be a tight matchup.

v.

Bottom Bunk v. CrossFit

B.B. has nothing. CrossFit has CMC, Barkley, Cooper, Lockett, Ekeler, and Kelce. CrossFit is about a 60 point favorite. CrossFit wins by a million.

v.

Batman v. Teach

Batman is up against it. Batman has Swift, Meyers, Smith, and Olave. Teach is looking to stay hot. Teach has his trio back, Tua, Waddle, and Hill. We will find out if this trio can beat Batman. Teach is a 38-point favorite. Teach wins.

Dr. Tilt Week 12 Picks.

Dr. Tilt’s Week 12 Prescription

Bengals @ Titans +2.5

The Titans are on a roll against the spread right now. The Doc expects them to stay hot in a rah-rah Vrabel spot. Vrabel has plenty of material to get his team fired up from the playoff loss last year to the Bengals. Team USA will not be the only ones who “believe that we will win” this weekend after Vrabel gets these guys fired up. Additionally, Mike Vrabel is the BEST coach as a dog, going 23-16 straight up as a dog. With the extended rest, expect the Titans to get up for this revenge spot.

Patriots @ Vikings -2.5

This game opened at Patriots +4 but after taking some steam it got pushed all the way through the 3 to 2.5. The Vikings got decimated by the Cowboys in one of the premier games of the week (the doc hopes you got in on dem boys). This line pushing all the way through the 3 is a massive overreaction to a media cycle that has people using the F word with the Vikings. Lay the points at home under 3 in a bounce back spot.

Chargers -3 @ Cardinals

The Cardinals are ded, spell it with me D-E-D ded. On the field and off the field, the Cardinals continue to be a mess. After a pathetic showing on Monday night in Mexico, the Doc sees no life left in this Cardinals team. Expect the entire Cardinals team to be making business decisions when it comes to their effort. The Chargers will be desperate for a win after two tough losses against good opponents. The drop in class to the Cardinals will help them overcome some recent woes.

Bonus Pick: Falcons +4.5 @ Commanders

The Falcons defense is expected to come out strong with the Will Compton year 10 bump. Will Compton will double his career sack total in this game with a second sack. Compton already laid down the Falcons moneyline play on the bus, so expect him to get the team fired up with his best Vrabel impression. In terms of the line, expect the public to be hot on the Commies as they have been rolling. Fade the public and ride the dirty birds. The doc will gladly take +4.5 in this spot.

Last week: 3-0
Season Record: 17-17

And now for an all-new power rankings.

Not a lot to say. Top 6 are in right now, bottom 6 stink.

Well that does it for this week. I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow and Happy Thanksgiving.

Let’s Go!

JonnyDIII

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 11 Recap. We have a quick write up this week for the recap and the Week 12 Preview. We got a holiday people. Let’s get into it.

Game of the Week

v.

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. PeePaw

What a matchup. JD3 got out to an early lead and never looked back. Tyler Bass, a kicker, which I’m against, had 23 points and really put things over the edge for JD3. Sing had 17, Donovan Peoples-Champion-Jones had 15, Diggs had 13, and Mooney and Pittman combined for 22. PeePaw say 30 from Davante, 20 from Monty, and 15 from Aiyuk. It all came down to Sunday night. Mahomes v. Herbert. Mahomes won the battle and JD3 kept the edge 151.15 to 133.9. After the win, JD3 moved up to lead dog in the division and topped it off with a trade for D-Hop for the playoff push.

v.

Mush’s Mongrels v. Touchdown Guy

Mush was bad. Graham Gano put up -2 points, McKinnon had 1, Mike Will had 2, Mel had 10 and was cut (Hendy cut too?), and Diontae Johnson had 4. The good was Josh Palmer had 27 and Deebo had 19. Mush did not trade Deebo prior to the deadline, which he thought was insane, putting up under 100 points with Deebo is actually insane. TDG saw a bad week from Josh Allen but luckily went up against a bad team. D-Train had 27, Kittle had 22, Jacobs had 18, Conner with 12, and Bobby Trees had 10. TDG put together a solid week with 139.75 to 99.25, a big win and is second in his division.

v.

Bruce v. CrossFit

Bruce had a good week, but it was not enough. Najee had 26, Zeke had 17, JT had 15, Slayton had 11 and Maher hardly know her put up a whopping 23 points from the kicker position. D.J. Chark had 0 points. CrossFit needed a win to keep the door open on passing Teach in the rankings. Amari Cooper had 27 points, Ekeler had 17, CMC with 14, Freiermuth and St. Brown combined for 24 points. Travis Kelce almost shut Bruce’s playoff door with 33 points. CrossFit wins 165.85 to 153.55.

v.

Teach v. Pistol

Teach squeaked one out against Pistol on his big bye weeks. Pollard 34, Higgins 20, Burks 15, Murray 15, and Stevenson had 11. Pistol had Sutton with 11 points. Pitts is on IR and Kadarious Toney went down with a hammy. Teach wins 146.55 to 56.9.

v.

Batman v. Bottom Bunk

Batman gets the loss to help his playoff odds. Olave had 19, Devonta Smith had 11, and Swift had 11. B.B. saw 16 from Pickens and 24 from Jamaal Williams. Going into Monday night, B.B. needed a big week from Jimmy G and Bottom Bunk saw 38 from Jimmy G to get the win. B.B. has a perfect 100 and beat Batman’s 94.65.

v.

Trashman v. Daddy Wombat

Trashman is now in the mix. Christian Watson started things off with 19, Cordarrelle had a big kickoff return to get to 17, A-Rob had 13, and the RB duo of Aaron Jones and Pacheco had 22 combined. D.W. had 14 from D-Hop and 11 from Kamara. Rondale Moore put up -0.6 points. Trashman is now the 6 seed after a 150.93 to 78.4 win.

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 11 Preview. We welcome back an old friend after a long day of sleuthing. We have a game of the week that may determine a division winner after injuries likely take out the third wheel. We have other matchups and we have an all-new power rankings. Let’s dive in.

Game of the Week

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. PeePaw

In our playoff settings the division winner gets a bye. JD3 and PeePaw are in the same division (Teach and CrossFit in the other division). Touchdown Guy just suffered the loss of Cooper Kupp for at least 4 weeks, his chances at the division are not great. He’ll still face PeePaw and JD3 during the remaining 4 games of the regular season, but this week’s PCDL GOTW I think settles the division. PeePaw has a 1 game lead and JD3 has a slight 16 points for lead. The way the schedules are set up the winner likely takes the division. PeePaw can afford a loss and still take the division, but for JD3 a loss here will likely thrust him into the wildcard. JD3 NEEDS Chase back to be in this one. Things are not looking great as Chase is still in crutches. The odds could swing in JD3’s favor if Mahomes magic pays off and Herbert is hindered by a lack of WR talent around him. They go head to head Sunday night so this matchup will be front and center for the PCDL chat. RBs favor PeePaw with Dalvin Cook v. Miles Sanders for JD3. The JD3 Singletary and PeePaw Foreman matchup is a little more even, but those guys are so TD dependent whoever scores will likely take the cake. WRs equal success in this league and these two teams are up to their eyeballs in WR talent. Diggs v. Jefferson, McLaurin v. Lamb, Pittman v. Aiyuk, Peoples-Jones v. Davante Adams? That is kind of the mismatch. JD3 needs Chase in the worst way to offset Adams. PeePaw is also rolling out a couple extra RBs, Mondy is all alone now and Gus Edwards is back? We will see. JD3 needs a big week from Mooney too. The TE room heavily favors PeePaw as he has Dalton Schultz and JD3 has Gerald Everett with a groin injury. Right now PeePaw is a 4 point favorite. JD3 is only a 4 point dog because Chase may play on the app, things will swing closer to 11 points if Chase is a no go. This matchup should put up big numbers, it will be fun to see who can pull it out.

v.

Mush’s Mongrels v. Touchdown Guy

Mush does not have a QB playing this week on his roster, he is without Kenny Walker and Christian Kirk. All he has is Deebo and Diontae. This guy has really fallen off the map. TDG just lost Cooper Kupp and has the perfect rebound game. Josh Allen is still tall. D-Train is going on Thursday, Josh Jacobs still good, B-Rob got a lot of touches, oh and George Kittle. Top to bottom TDG’s team is still better than Mush. TDG will likely be a 35 point favorite come kickoff, it won’t matter the number TDG gets a huge win to keep him in the playoff push.

v.

Bruce v. CrossFit

Remember how I said Mush really fell off, well so has Bruce. Bruce has Joey B, a beat up Zeke, beat up Najee, beat up JT, D.J. Moore who is allegedly good but doesn’t have a QB, Michael Bandy?, Tyler Boyd, and the inconsistent Mack Hollins. It is going to be an ugly week. CrossFit has recent week QB1 Justin Fields, season long RB1 Ekeler, (probably) week 8 RB1 CMC, (in your head) RB1 Saquon Barkley, and TE1 Travis Kelce. Something to keep an eye on is how bad Amari Cooper is on the road. Amari Cooper is on the road this week. CrossFit also has Amon-Ra St. Brown to add to his depth. Crossfit is a 31 point favorite, and I think CrossFit puts the nail in the coffin on Bruce’s playoff hopes.

v.

Teach v. Pistol

Teach is likely a 10 point favorite once the chalk dust settles on this matchup. Teach is without his triple stack as the Phins are on bye. That means Aaron Rodgers gets the nod and is fresh off a 3 TD week. Teach has Mixon, Pollard and Stevenson in the backfield. Teach has Green, Shenault, Higgins, Osborn, and Pierce as his WRs. I strategically went with no first names because I want you to really have to think about who those guys are and why Teach does not have better WRs. I know, the Phins are on bye, but still. Pistol has Kyler and that will always keep him in a game. His team is strictly hopeful youth. Michael Carter, Garrett Wilson, A.J. Brown, Sutton, Kadarius Toney, and Kyle Pitts. Pistol also has Aaron Rodgers secret weapon Allen Lazard. If Rodgers goes off, it means that Lazard problem had a helping hand. I think Teach still gets it done, even though we don’t play a defense he somehow has one.

v.

Batman v. Bottom Bunk

If I am being completely transparent here, Batman should lose this game to help his chances at the #1 or #2 pick. To be honest, B.B. likely gets the #1 pick because it is so difficult for him to score 70 points. Batman has Lamar, Swift, Mitchell, Dillon, Jakobi Meyers, DeVonta Smith, Olave, and MVS. B.B. has Jamaal Williams and Drake London. Batman is a 17 point favorite and likely a few point favorite even if he tries to lose. Batman wins one for the good guys.

v.

Trashman v. Daddy Wombat

Trashman will likely roll with Daniel Jones in this matchup. Trashman is in a tough spot. He needs to win at least 1 game with some help to make it. He increases his odds if he gets to two wins. Looking at his schedule, this is a must win. Cordarrelle, Aaron Jones, Nick Chubb, and maybe Pacheco. Then we have Curty Sam, Christian Watson, Terrace Marshall, and probably A-Rob. D.W. is without Metcalf this week and that makes this one interesting (assuming both teams set their lineups). Jalen Hurts is good, Kamara is due, Pierce, Claypool is bad, Gabe Davis is streaky, D-Hop and Rondale Moore are good. Jerry Jeudy had an ankle injury so we will see if he gives it a go in the 3 o’clock spot. D.W. is about a 10-15 point favorite. I think D.W. has the edge at QB and slight edge at WR to push them over the top this week. D.W. gets it done.

Dr. Tilt’s Week 11 Prescription

Yes, Dr. Tilt is back. Yesterday, we had a case of stolen/mistaken identity. Someone said they were Dr. Tilt sent some inexplicit messages and hung it up. After a day of switching passwords and changing channels of communication we are back. There should be more on this next week, but as of right now Dr. Tilt has no further comment at this time.

Detroit Lions (+3) @ Giants

Cowboys (-1.5) @ Vikings

Buffalo @ Cleveland (o41)

Last week: 0-3
Season Record: 14-17

And now for an all-new power rankings.

Pistol falls of the wagon losing to B.B. and only putting up 70-some points. Trashman got the big win and gets the big bump. Not a lot of movement anywhere else.

Next week we should have a playoff picture to add to the mix. Hopefully you and yours are gearing up for a playoff run and a better tomorrow. Good luck to you all and be sure to update your passwords.

Let’s Go!

JonnyDIII

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 10 Recap. We have a big announcement at the end of the post, but we have some juicy matchups with a huge upset. Teams continue to suffer injuries and it will get interesting down the stretch how these teams heal up. Will anyone heal up in time for when they play Teach? Let’s dive into it.

Game of the Week

v.

PeePaw v. Daddy Wombat

This was one of the most embarrassing things to happen on the big stage since Ye took the mic from T-Swizzle. PeePaw put up 18 embarrassing points from Herbert. Monty only had 5. Aiyuk put up 9. That was the bad. The good was incredible. CeeDee with 33, J.J. with 30, Davante with 23, Cook with 22, Jeff Will with 21, Foreman with 19, and Dalton Schultz had 14. What a weekend. D.W. saw 18 from Gabe Davis, 15 from D-Hop, 14 from Rondale, and 11 a piece from Pierce and Higbee. In a head scratcher, D.W. went with no kicker this week. D.W. has Matt Ryan on their roster and free agent Will Fuller. Anyways PeePaw wins and moves into 1^st in his division with a lead dog performance 200.1 to 116.15.

v.

Pistol v. Bottom Bunk

I promised a bad game and these two did not disappoint. Pistol missed the late Kyler out news. B.B. started McKissic and Hardman who were both out. B.B. also started Justin Tucker who was on bye. Pistol saw Toney find the end zone for the first time to give Pistol’s team 18 points. Rachaad White also added 12. B.B. saw 12 from London and Jamaal Williams, but it was the 26 from Mariota that got it done because the rest of his lineup stinks. B.B. wins 77.4 to 72.98.

v.

Teach v. Bruce

There is not a single team on the face of the earth that is lucky as one of the teams in this matchup. I will not mention which team I am referring to because I don’t want to be a “hater”. Teach saw 56 points from the Tua/Hill/Waddle stack. Tony Tony Tony Pollard saw the full load in the Boys backfield and put up 20 points. Shenault had a freak TD and scored 13 points. Bruce had a J.T. bounce back game with 23, Slayton had 17, Godwin had 16, and Fournette and Najee each had 10. On Thursday Bruce picked up Foster Moreau and left him on his bench. If Bruce plays Moreau in any available TE spot, he wins. However, hoarding tight ends is a cause for disaster in the present and future. Teach wins a tight one 116.65 to 115.3.

v.

Batman v. CrossFit

Batman saw 12 points from Juwan Johnson and a pair of 11 point performances from Zay Jones and DeVonta Smith. If you only have these as your top scores against CrossFit, you are in trouble. Justin Fields put up 46 and is the QB1 over the last few weeks. Barkley had 23, Mostert 19, St. Brown and Kelce had 17 a piece, CMC with a sweet 16, Stop Drop and Lockett had 12, and Austin Ekeler in a down week managed 10 points. Crossfit is all about big point performances and he gets it done easily this week, 167.65 to 98.1.

v.

Trashman v. Touchdown Guy

If you are squeamish look away, because what happened this weekend is just downright disgusting. Trashman saw a huge week from a pair of Packers. Christian Watson put up 31 and Aaron Jones had 23. That was the big chunk of his scoring. TDG saw T-Law put up more fantasy points (3) than the Tall Josh Allen. James Conner had 22, Josh Jacobs had 20, and Antonio Gibson had 14. Not that it would have mattered this week, but B-Rob outscored Gibby, just add that to the things TDG has to worry about. Also, Cooper Kupp is headed to the IR, TDG has to survive these next 4 weeks to get Kupp for a playoff push. Trashman wins a stunner 120.45 to 117.86.

v.

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Mush’s Mongrels

While two love birds celebrated while looking stunning, beautiful, maybe even sexy, JD3 was wiping tears away will setting up the perfect lineup to get revenge. JD3 got the big boost from Mahomes with 45. Sing season is upon us, Devin Singletary loves late season TDs and had 15 this weekend. Diggs added 19, McLaurin 17, and Donovan Peoples-Champion-Jones put up a 12 point week. Mush saw a combined 0.1 points from Clyde and Taysum Hill. I will let you guess who had the 1 rushing yard. Christian Kirk put up a big week with 27, Parris Campbell out dueled Pittman Jr. 17-8, and Kenny Walks hit the double digit threshold with 10. Mush had too many guys not show up. JD3 gets a big win 155.25 to 117.65.

Update, we will no longer provide Dr. Tilt’s services. Dr. Tilt recently handled a situation that directly conflicts with the values and beliefs of the PCDL.

Well that does it for this week. Quick announcement, B.B. technically is still playoff eligible. B.B. cannot win the division nor get a bye, which caused the confusion. The app, which is terrible, does not have a ledger but had multiple marks next to B.B.’s name. Until next time I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow.

Let’s Go!

JonnyDIII

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 10 Preview. We have division matchups this week and will see if we can get some separation in the league. Across the league we have pretty tight matchups, but we will focus on the one with the most points projected. We have Dr. Tilt trying to get above .500 and we have an all new power rankings. Things are heating up, teams are closing in on the playoffs, and others are dropping like flies. Let’s get into it.

Game of the week.

v.

PeePaw v. Daddy Wombat

This is electric. PeePaw lost the week 3 matchup to D.W. PeePaw is trying to get a win here to have that cushion needed this time of year. Herbert has been down, maybe Keenan is back, but the 49ers got a good defense. Cook and Monty should have solid weeks. Now we have Foreman and Wilson who need touchdowns. Wilson is the exact spark needed for the Miami offense. He looks great, so hopefully he gets it done for PeePaw. Lamb, Aiyuk, Jefferson, and Adams I mean my goodness what a crop, look at that crop. Now D.W. has some big upside guys. I mean big time upside, PeePaw has those guys too but I see D.W. with some guys that can get a little bit higher ceiling and lower floor. D.W. has Jalen Hurts who loves to scramble. Kamara is so due for a big game. Dameon Pierce is a monster. D-Hop and Metcalf can be streaky. Claypool, Jeudy, Gabe Davis, and Rondale Moore, these WRs need to get a deep shot TD for them to make the difference this weekend. It is all going to come down to the big performances for these guys. I think PeePaw has a lot of top end consistency and D.W. has the big breakout games. D.W. will likely be a 2 point favorite come kickoff, but I think PeePaw evens up the matchup.

v.

Pistol v. Bottom Bunk

We go from the best matchup to one that no one cares about. Pistol is projected 105 points and B.B. is projected like 87. I mean come on. What kind of matchup is this? This is an all-time snooze-fest that Pistol is leading on the year. Not a lot to talk about, Pistol has Kyler, Sutton, Lazard, , Pitts, Toney, and Herbert. B.B. has Drake London and Mercole Hardman. Pistol wins because he just has to hit like 75 points.

v.

Teach v. Bruce

Teach is leading this matchup and is looking to clinch a playoff spot. Tua, Pollard, Tyreek, Waddle, and Hockenson. Mixon and Stevenson are on bye. This is a critical week for Teach’s momentum. Can Teach get it done? Bruce is rolling out some bad RBs. Fournette, J.T., and Najee. I mean puke. The WR room is not much better, Godwin, Moore, Slayton, Renfrow, and Max Hollins? I mean yikes. This is an ugly one where Teach is favored by 5 and because he has the better big names he gets it done.

v.

Batman v. CrossFit

You guys ever see that scary movie Hereditary where the young girl has her head out the window and SPOILERS just gets her head taken off by a telephone pole. That’s this matchup, sudden quick death. I expect this one to be quick. Batman does not have a QB rostered, he will likely be a 50 point dog. Batman is without Lamar, maybe has Swift back, DeVonta Smith, Olave, and Juju. CrossFit has the last couple week fantasy winner Fields at QB, CMC, Barkley, Ekeler, and Mostert. At WR he has Pot drop and Locket, Cooper, St. Brown, oh and Travis Kelce. Batman got the first matchup, but he does not even have a chance in this one.

v.

Trashman v. Touchdown Guy

Speaking of movie deaths, this one is like The Sixth Sense, Trashman is dead and just doesn’t know it. Trashman is about a 52 point dog. Aaron Jones is injured. All he has is Cordarrelle Patterson. TDG has Josh Allen who is hurt, but hopefully he is healthy for all who enjoy fantasy football. D-Henry, Josh Jacobs, Gibby, Kupp, James Conner, Mike Evans, and George Kittle. I mean top to bottom TDG is moons ahead of Trashman. Give me TDG an let’s get to the final matchup.

v.

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Mush’s Mongrels

JD3 lost the first matchup and has eaten at him since. If JD3 loses this one he will need to take a long look in the mirror. JD3 has Mahomes, Sanders, Etienne, Diggs, and McLaurin. Mush has Kenny Walker, Christian Kirk, and Diontae Johnson. I mean JD3’s guys are hotter, but he loves losing to the worst teams (minus PeePaw). Mush needs to find a kicker, he will still be a 30 point dog. We will see if JD3 can even the odds.

Dr. Tilt’s Week 10  Prescription

Seattle Seahawks (+3) @ Tampa Bay (In Germany)

The doc is going back to back weeks riding the Seahawks as road dogs.  Last week’s line didn’t make any sense and neither does this week.  Seattle is the “vibe” team of the year as they rack up wins and throw shade at their departed QB.  Those “vibes” can travel across the pond.  The flipside is a veteran team that we can only assume wants no part of traveling to Germany (unless it’s for a new international fashion model for Tom).

Cleveland Browns (+3.5) @ Miami Dolphins

The Cleveland Browns are a top 10 offense in EPA per play. Read that again. When it comes to rushing EPA per play, it would now not surprise you to know the Browns boast the best EPA per play on the ground. After allowing the Bears to put up 32 points, the Doc expects the multitude of Browns weapons to put up some points and be in this game against a Dolphins defense that has not been the same sense Flores left. Take the points with the hook.

Indianapolis Colts @ Las Vegas Raiders (-5.5)

The fired coach bump, it’s a gambling tale as old as time.  Bad team fires the coach, the team gets a little juice, gamblers rejoice.  However, we have a curveball here, the Interim Head Coach is Jeff Saturday, who as of a week ago wasn’t on the coaching staff.  That’s one thing.  Jeff Saturday also has never coached in college, or the NFL, only … high school.  If you were a coach on that staff, or a player on that roster, how would you now feel with the owner demanding you play Sam Ehlinger (worse than Matt Ryan) and your new head coach just left the set of Get Up on ESPN to come coach your team with zero experience.  Raiders are in a clown car of their own but what’s happening in Indy is leading the race.

Last week: 2-1
Season Record: 14-14

And now for an all-new power rankings.

Not a lot of movement on top, Teach is the best. Bruce was the worst last week and Bottom Bunk wasn’t far off. That is about all the big moves we have.

Well that does it for this week, until next time I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow. We will check back in to see if Dr. Tilt gets it done and see if we can avoid another 3 teams missing 100.

Let’s Go!

JonnyDIII

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 9 Recap. We talked up a game of the week and it was disappointing. One team had all the answers. We look at the rest of the league it kind of a boring week. It will be tough to spruce things up to captivate the audiences attention through this whole write up, but God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers, and if he strong then we strong then. Let’s get it.

Game of the week.

v.

Touchdown Guy v. Teach

BOOOOOOOO! This man, booooooooo! Teach does it. He’s lead dog. We get it. Touchdown Guy put up a solid week, but he ran into a buzz saw. Tough week. D-Train had 24, Kupp had 23, and Jacobs put up 10. TDG wins about half the matchups this week, just not this one. Robert Woods may be done, that’s not good for TDG as he has one flex spot that’s an issue week in week out. Teach lost the bench/taxi matchup and that’s about it. Romeo dies in the end of Romeo and Juliet, and Romeo Doubs is going to be out for a couple of weeks with a high ankle sprain. Oh, spoilers. Tua had 35, Tyreek had 24, and Waddle had 17. I mean come on. T.J. Hockenson scored 12 in his debut for the purple and gold. The story of fantasy football this week was, well it was Justin Fields, we will address him later. The story was about Joe Mixon, 53 points, why? I have no idea. Teach wins 189 to 126.57.

v.

PeePaw v. Bruce

This one came down to Monday night. Just kidding. PeePaw got out the gate with 32 points from Davante Adams and 22 from Justin Jefferson. That almost was all he needed. Dalvin had 13 points and Kenny Drake put up double digit points (I ain’t looking up his final score cus I’m mad (oh my god it was 24 points?!?!)). Noah Fant had a surprise 12 points. Bruce had Joe Burrow put up 25 points. Lindsay had 0.2 points, Fournette had 8, and Godwin had 7. I mean Bruce has bad guys. D.J. Moore put up 3 points. Renfrow had 7 points and Max Hollins had 3. When you got multiple players on a team, they better be good and the Bucs and Raiders stink. Bruce put up the least amount of points this week, what a tough look. Imagine hanging onto Fournette and Zeke this long to only to see them lose all trade value. PeePaw wins 141.55 to 73.6.

v.

Daddy Wombat v. CrossFit

This one actually came down to Monday Night. D.W. with Kamara and CrossFit with Duvernay. CrossFit had about a 17 point lead heading into Monday Night. D.W. saw 14 from Pierce, and 12 a piece from Metcalf, D-Hop, and James Rob. In the mix, Rondale Moore had 11. Solid points across the board for D.W. to put him in a winnable Monday Night matchup. CrossFit has Tom Brady, Dak Prescott, and now Justin Fields. CrossFit cannot manage the QB position, the most important position in football. CrossFit is atrocious at starting the right guy at the helm. CrossFit just needs to cut the chord on father time and go with the youth movement and just live with it. CrossFit did see 21 from Ekeler and 15 from Lockette. DeAndre Carter had a big week without Keenan and Mike Will, having 11 points. Ertz also put up a dozen. Monday Night D.W. got 8 from Kamara and CrossFit got 1 from Duvernay. It was enough, CrossFit gets a win 124.94 to 114.15 despite not knowing how to pick a QB.

v.

Trashman v. Pistol

Trashman got Patterson back who had the touches for touchdowns adding 18 points. Curty Sam put up 16 and Terrance Marshall had 13. Then we got a lot of bad football. Aaron Jones had 6 and has an injury. Thorton for the Pats had 1. Isaiah Pacheco had 3. I mean yikes. Pistol had an ok performance. Lazard with 17 and A.J. Brown and Garrett Wilson both having 14 points. Pistol saw regression in Kahlil Herbert and Kyle Pitts, weird its in a bad matchup. Pistol gets a win in a crucial must win for the playoff hopes of Pistol. Pistol 112.15 Trashman 88.11.

v.

Mush’s Mongrels v. Batman

There ain’t nothing like it. Mush getting a layup. Ben Simmons could never. Mush has the best RB in fantasy (not actually but I mean just look at him) Kenny Walker put up 26 points. Christian Kirk put up 18 and darling Josh Palmer put up 15 without Keenan and Mike Will. The bad was Clyde Frog and 2 points and Robbie Anderson’s 0.1 points. Batman stinks. Juju had 14 points. Olave hopefully hits double digits but this was written up when he had 8.5 points. It was over so we will just wait on the scoring. Batman ended with a 100% coaching rating while putting up under 100 points, that’s how bad he is. Mush put up 123.6 and Batman had 93.35.

v.

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Bottom Bunk

JD3 had Mahomes for 45, Etienne for 26, Sanders for 15, Diggs for 12, and Ronnie Rivers with 0 points. B.B. saw 21 from Hardman, 10 from Mariota, 2 from Burkhead, 0 from McKissic who was out, 10 from Jamaal Williams, 0 from Byrd, 0 from Skowronek, and 20 from Goedert. B.B. put up the second least amount of points this week, yikes. JD3 wins 143.3 to 76.45.

Glad this week is over. It was not that great of a week, nothing really electric. Not a lot of heartbreak, not a lot of excitement. But I do have an announcement. With a record of 8-1 Teach still needs a win to lock in a playoff spot. B.B. with a  2-7 record is DONE. Until next time I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow. Tomorrow we get back into the division matchups, each team has a chance to even things up and with a few Week 3 upsets, I expect a lot of teams to even things up in the division head to heads.

Let’s Go!

JonnyDIII

Good morning everyone, welcome to the Pot Cakes Dynasty League Week 9 Preview. I am not going to beat around the bush. This week is about one matchup and one matchup only. We have a potential Championship matchup. Team 1 from one division versus Team 1 of the other division. The 1 v. 2 seed. All that separates them is a game. A win by the 2, they become the new 1, a win by the 1 and we will find an excuse to say why he still has had the easiest schedule. Once we are done with those guys we got other matchups, Dr. Tilt who is flirting with .500 and an all-new power rankings. Let’s get to it.

Game of the week.

v.

Touchdown Guy v. Teach

For the millions and millions (or handful) of readers we have our biggest matchup of the year. The build up, the trash talk, the suspense all leads up to this right here. Touchdown Guy is no slouch when it comes to being lead dog in the PCDL, and slouch is the easiest way to describe Teach’s schedule so far. He’s had an easy road to success. Teach is the overall standings lead dog and TDG was the first lead dog having a championship under his belt. It is fitting that TDG is on the road to see if he can take down the regular season champ thus far. TDG v. Teach head to head let’s take a look. TDG has a huge height advantage in the QB matchup with Josh Allen against Tua Tagovailoa. But we have to get to the WRs. Teach is rocking the triple stack with Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill. TDG has Cooper Kupp and Mike Evans to match. The WR talent drops off for TDG with old familiar names and Teach has some newer guys. TDG has Robert Woods and Adam Thielen. Teach has K.J. Osborn, Tee Higgins, Alex Pierce, and Romeo Doubs. Teach is obviously deeper at the WR position, but that’s not necessarily a good thing. TDG has 3 RBs, Josh Jacobs, Derrick Henry, and Rob-Gibson. Yes, TDG is rocking both Washington backs. Maybe, just maybe, James Conner is back and TDG swaps out one of the Commanders, but who has the command this week for Washington? Gibby is showing to be the passing down back and if Washington shoots themselves in the foot and get behind, that’s bad news for Robinson. Teach has Joe Mixon and Rhamondre Stevenson. Mixon gets a lot of touches but the Bengals are so inconsistent that his production varies by their success. Rhamondre is going to face a fully healthy Damien Harris, so his production may decline a little this week. It will be interesting to see how these backs end up. At the TE position TDG has Hurst who could snipe a TD from Higgins and Teach has Hockenson who could snipe a TD from Thielen. This game is up for grabs as both teams are close in projections. TDG is almost a 3 point favorite and I think he takes the crown back.

v.

PeePaw v. Bruce

We got another tight one here. We just talked about a potential championship game, well both of these teams have been to the championship, and both of them lost. Neither of them have tasted the sweet taste of the championship trophy (no one has because our commissioner is something). PeePaw is a 9 point favorite, which seems low. PeePaw has Herbert, Cook, Monty, Foreman, Gus Bus, Davante, McKenzie, Jefferson, and Mikey T. CeeDee and Aiyuk are on bye. Bruce has Najee on bye which may be good for him because Najee stinks. Zeke is also on bye for Bruce and needs to heal up. Bruce has Joey B, Fournette, JT, Hollins and Renfrow, Boyd, Godwin, and Chris Godwin. The tight ends don’t matter in this one. With pretty much everyone but Waller in this matchup for the Las Vegas receivers someone has to have an advantage. That advantage might go to PeePaw since the Raiders put up very little points last week. Adams was held to no points last week so there is no way his best friend Derek Carr lets that happen again. PeePaw is the favorite and I think he gets it done.

v.

Daddy Wombat v. CrossFit

These teams do not like to set their lineups early. Daddy Wombat is fresh off of a lot of points. D.W. has Hurts putting up monster weeks and easily giving D.W. the edge over CrossFit who can either go Brady or Dak. Now we have some exciting RB matchups. D.W. has Kamara and Pierce and CrossFit has Ekeler and Mostert. Now due to the bye we got a lot of WRs. Daddy Wombat has Metcalf, D-Hop, Gabe Davis, Claypool, and Rondale Moore. CrossFit has Lockett, Duvernay, and St. Brown. The tight end matchup heavily favors CrossFit with Ertz and Kelce, D.W. has Tyler Higbee. D.W. will have to put up a lot of points against CrossFit to keep up. These two will likely be within 2 points of each other come kickoff. I think CrossFit gets it done, he just scores points.

v.

Trashman v. Pistol

This is a low scoring affair. Trashman only has Aaron Jones and Mark Andrews worth mentioning this week. Pistol has Kyler and A.J. Brown. Everyone else is projected under 10 points. Trashman will be about a 3-6 point favorite come kickoff, but I’m riding with the better QB and taking Pistol in this one. This short write up has nothing to do with last week, I mean do you want me to talk about A-Rob, Juice, White, Herbert, Toney, or Marshall? I didn’t think so.

Mush’s Mongrels v. Batman

Mush is trying to trade guys, has traded for guys, have got picks, given up picks, it is confusing. A loss to Batman will ensure a rebuild. Geno is hot, Walker is running through people, Christian Kirk is still the WR1 for the Jags, and who why is Mush running two TEs? Batman has Lamar, maybe Swift, Olave, DeVonta, and Jackobi Meyers. Batman is going to be somewhere between a 5-9 point favorite and I’m going with that because he has the better QB and a little more juice at WR this week.

JonnyDIII’s Joyful Demons v. Bottom Bunk

JD3 is favored by 50 points, B.B. is projected under 100 points. B.B. has 3 players that are plus 10 points projection, Mariota, Goedert, and Justin Tucker. Looking at just Goedert and Tucker, JD3 has 5 position players projected more points, Sanders, Etienne, Keenan, Diggs, and McLaurin. JD3 needs needs this but we will see how things shake out this weekend.

Dr. Tilt’s Week 9  Prescription

Seahawks (+2) @ Cardinals

These teams matched up just 3 weeks ago with the Seahawks winning outright and covering. Is it really that easy to just bet the Seahawks? The doc believes so. The Seahawks have been a darling to the betting public and those that identified their offensive efficiency being above the preseason expectations. In the previous matchup, the Cardinals only put up 9 points with a very high third down conversion rate which the doc expects to regress back to the mean due to Kliff’s ineptitude. Join the public and ride the dawg.

Chargers @ Falcons o49.5

Strength on weakness is the name of the game for both these offenses versus the opposing defenses. The Chargers, who boast a QB with a cannon for an arm, rank last in rate of passes thrown 10 plus yards down field. Checking down the ball much to all our dismay. However, the Falcons defense ranks last in success rate rank on checkdown passes. On the flipside, the Falcons are touting an impressive running attack and expecting to get Cordarrelle Patterson back. Unexpected to the public, the Falcon’s passing attack is all about going deep off play action. The offense is number 1 in air yards per passing attempt at 10 yards per attempt. Against the run, the Chargers rank 27th in defensive EPA. Against the deep ball, the Chargers defense ranks bottom 5 in any category that means anything. The doc loves both offenses having their way.

Colts @ Patriots (-5.5)

It appears that Jim Irsay has more say over the team than just if the roof is open or closed. Irsay seemed to step in and appoint Ehlinger as the starter then fire the offensive coordinator. That’s too much change for a young QB versus Belichick. Expect the Patriots to right the ship and stifle this rookie quarterback while getting Mac Jones back into the groove.

Last week: 2-2
Season Record: 12-13

And now for an all-new power rankings.

Not a lot of movement in the top. Pistol gets a huge bump with his big win. Bottom Bunk stinks. Daddy Wombat also gets a big bump due to all the points. Everyone else had bad weeks, if you mad score more points.

Well that does it for this week. I hope you and yours have a better tomorrow and survived the trade deadline. I cannot wait to see if Teach flunks out this weekend.

Let’s Go!
