Tyreek Hill’s 22.5 points sinks Connecticut Wildcats
Chicago Mud earned a pretty comfortable victory over Connecticut Wildcats, winning 100 to 80.5. The loss makes it three in a row for Connecticut Wildcats, which gives them a 0 – 3 record. The win brings Chicago Mud to 2 – 1.
Tyreek Hill was the key contributor for Chicago Mud, tallying 22.5 points. The Cheetah has now exceeded the average wide receiver’s performance in every game so far this year. He was left wide open in the backfield on Sunday, allowing him to easily score the Dolphins’s first TD (of many).
Meanwhile, Drake London and Breece Hall were double trouble for Connecticut Wildcats, together totaling only 1.5 points.
Coach Ronnie Feldman did his part to secure the victory this week. He went with Courtland Sutton over the higher ranked Kadarius Toney.
This great decision netted Coach Feldman an extra 13.5 points. The good decision is just more of the same for Coach Feldman, whose gameday decisions have been some of the best in the league this season.
Davante Adams says, “YES!”
In a game that couldn’t get much closer, Mercer Mustangs slipped by Big Oregon Bang, winning 89.5 to 88.5. The 1 point margin that separated these two teams is the smallest gap of the season so far. The win brings Mercer Mustangs’ record to 2 – 1, while dropping Big Oregon Bang to 1 – 2.
Mercer Mustangs, who were the underdog in this matchup, did a so-so job during Sunday’s main action. They had four slightly underperforming players, with Garrett Wilson (3.5 points) being the worst.
Meanwhile, Big Oregon Bang were showing Coach Jim Waugh how it’s supposed to be done. Tua Tagovailoa and Mike Williams led the charge, scoring 41.5 points between them. Of Tagovailoa’s four touchdowns on Sunday, the most impressive was this no-look toss.
Big Oregon Bang also got a solid effort from Romeo Doubs (7.1 points above expected).
Going into Sunday night, our projections gave Mercer Mustangs only a 0.8% chance of winning. Davante Adams had other ideas. Adams did 21.3 points better than he was expected to, which was enough to give Mercer Mustangs an unlikely victory.
Raheem Mostert came up huge for Frelinghuysen Froglickers in this high flying contest
Frelinghuysen Froglickers took on Happy Valley Violence two times last year and won each time. The result this week then, was not surprising. In the only blowout this week, Frelinghuysen Froglickers crushed Happy Valley Violence, winning 124 to 85.5. The two teams combined for the highest score so far this season.
The defeat puts Happy Valley Violence on a three game losing streak, dropping their record to 0 – 3. The win brings Frelinghuysen Froglickers to 2 – 1.
Frelinghuysen Froglickers relied heavily on Raheem Mostert, who notched 36.5 points. That was good for 2nd place among all players this week. He found his way to the end zone four times on Sunday, breaking ankles on every score.
Meanwhile, two players stood out for their poor performance on Happy Valley Violence, with Joshua Kelley and Calvin Ridley combining to score only 3 points.
The loss this week certainly wasn’t Coaches Chris Paret, Jeffrey Ozarski, and John Trzeciak’s fault. They started three players that the experts thought should be riding the pine. Two of those picks, Adam Thielen and C.J. Stroud, worked out. The other pick, Brian Robinson Jr., did not.
Overall, these moves gave Happy Valley Violence an extra 32 points, which obviously wasn’t close to enough. Still, Coaches Chris Paret, Jeffrey Ozarski, and John Trzeciak’s lineup moves made them the best performing gameday coach this week.
Amari Cooper helps deliver a win for New Chester Thorobreds
New Chester Thorobreds came into the game as the biggest underdog this week, but they didn’t let that get them down. They got past Dallas Armadillos, winning 70 to 64.5. The win brings New Chester Thorobreds’ record to 1 – 2, while dropping Dallas Armadillos to 1 – 1.
Amari Cooper separated himself from the rest of the crew on New Chester Thorobreds, producing 17.5 points. Cooper racked up 116 receiving yards on seven receptions on Sunday (it would’ve been more had it not been for an errant whistle).
Meanwhile, while balance might be good for gymnasts, it didn’t help Dallas Armadillos this week. A.J. Brown topped the wide receiver average by 5.8 points to lead the team, while Gus Edwards fell only 5.1 points short of the average RB in bringing up the rear.
The schedule for New Chester Thorobreds brings Miami Muffdivers around next week. Miami Muffdivers will come into the game undefeated. Meanwhile, Dallas Armadillos will take on Keystone Longfellows.
Philadelphia Griffins and DK Metcalf get a gift win from Keystone Longfellows
In a game where both teams had a shot to win, Philadelphia Griffins handed Keystone Longfellows a tough 60 to 56.5 loss. Philadelphia Griffins would have only beaten one other team this week, so Coach Nicholas Fisher got pretty lucky with the schedule.
The victory makes it three in a row for Philadelphia Griffins, bringing their record to 3 – 0. The loss drops Keystone Longfellows’ record to 1 – 2.
Philadelphia Griffins had three players lead the way, with DK Metcalf, Jake Elliott, and Deshaun Watson putting up 36 points. Watson pulled off that old standby- the reverse, flea flicker screen, which after all that sound and fury went for 14 yards.
Meanwhile, Keystone Longfellows saw six different players underperform, and while none of them particularly stuck out, Derek Carr and his 4 points was officially the worst.1 Carr’s 4 point performance was worse than every other player this week.2 He was forced out of Sunday’s game early with what the team suspects is an AC joint sprain (but it’s not expected to be season-ending).
Next week will see Philadelphia Griffins taking on the 1 – 2 Big Oregon Bang. As for Keystone Longfellows, they will match up with Dallas Armadillos.
Deebo Samuel takes control of the game as Orange Co. Beach Dudes wins
By a score of 62 to 53.5, Orange Co. Beach Dudes walked away victorious over Boxboro Blowfish. Orange Co. Beach Dudes won despite having the 4th lowest scoring total in the league this week. The win brings Orange Co. Beach Dudes’ record to 2 – 1, while dropping Boxboro Blowfish to 1 – 1 – 1.
Orange Co. Beach Dudes were led by the trio of Deebo Samuel, James Conner, and D’Andre Swift, who combined for 72% of their team’s points. Conner has now exceeded his points expectations in every game so far this year.
Meanwhile, there’s no pointing fingers in Boxboro Blowfish’s loss as they failed all over the place. DeAndre Hopkins was the worst of a five man group of underperformers, recording only 2.5 points. Hopkins has now failed to exceed the average wide receiver’s point total in any week this year.
