Week 3 Recap

Yet another week my predictions were totally off. For the year, I am 4 of 12. Hopefully these will get better as the time goes on. For now, you’re probably better off if I pick you to lose.

Export Flannel 40 - Murrysville Drow 28

Flannel gets a solid outing from Eli Manning and cruises to an easy victory over the struggling Drow. Honestly, it wasn’t a horrible effort from Doug’s team, it just wasn’t enough to pick up the win. Clay picks up his first victory of the year while Drow tumbles to 1-2.

Fightin' Bitin' Beavers 34 – Hamburglers 5

Here is a prediction I nailed. It really wasn’t so much that Steve’s team had a great game as much it was Jamie’s team doing nothing. The Beavers get solid contribution from Mike Wallace and Jason Hanson while the Hamburglers get absolutely nothing from new RB addition C.J. Spiller. The Beavers improve to 2-1 while the Hamburglers remain winless.

Iron City Lagers 37 - Capo Di Tutti Capi 30

Pretty close with the score for this one, I just picked the wrong team to win. It was not the offensive explosion I expected with next to no contribution from the WR for Chris’s team and only the Stafford to Johnson connection contributing for Tim’s team. That connection proved to be the difference in the game as Capo drops one at home. Lagers go to 2-1 and Capo falls to 1-2.

Roger's Ramjets 45 - Mighty Midtowne Mimes 20

This was the 2nd of the prediction I got correct. Roger gets huge efforts from Wes Welker and Matt Schaub while Darin’s team throws up a single point with the QB/RB combo of Philip Rivers and a infirmed Peyton Hillis. The Ramjets move to 2-1 while the Mimes fall to 1-2. 

Rednecks 37 - Old No. 7 21

I was happy to have guessed this one wrong. My team opens their home stand with a win behind a monster game from Darrin McFadden. Jamie’s team drops to 1-2 despite the solid game from Ryan Fitzpatrick and fail to capitalize on the loss of Kenny Britt and Mike Vick. The Rednecks remain one of two unbeaten team teams, improving their record to 2-0-1.

Malleus Maleficarum 31 - Bill's Team 0

The upset special that wasn’t. A long as Tom is starting for Haydn’s team, I need to quit picking him to lose. In this game, the Hammer gets a big defensive day to go with Brady’s usual insane numbers, while Bill’s Team really doesn’t provide any real competition, with CJ2K and Cam Newton failing to provide an offensive spark. Malleus remains unbeaten and drop Bill to 1-2.
