Week 3 Recap

Only slightly better for my predictions this time. I went 3 for 6, so at least it was 50/50 this time. I did fare better than the Left Division, as it went 0-4 against the Middle this week. All of the games were relatively competitive, with no blow outs this week.

Bill's Team 59 - Murrysville Drow 55

This was a tough week for the Drow, where his team scored 110 points and lost - which was only slightly more painful than a Marion Barber touchdown celebration. If Doug had played any other team, his score this week would have been enough for the win. Aaron Rogers posted a whopping 47 point, but it was short of a great counter effort by Bill’s Cam Newton. The difference in this game was a slight better defensive effort and the home field advantage for Bill’s Team. Bill evens his record to 2-2, while Drow fall to 1-3.

 

Rednecks 23 - Fightin' Bitin' Beavers 8

Another week for the Rednecks where it wasn’t so much a good effort as it was the lack of effort from the opposing team. For the Beavers, Kevin Kolb posted a goose egg and wasted a great game from Charles Woodson and an overall monster defensive day. Michael Vick and Matt Bryant provided the only offense from the Rednecks, but it was enough to outlast the Beavers and snap their 2 game win streak. The Rednecks remain undefeated, improving their record to 3-0-1. The Beavers drop to 2-2, but remain tied for the Left Division lead.

 

Export Flannel 31 - N.Y. Hamburglers 30

A nail-biter as the Hamburglers made much more of a game of it than anticipated. Neither team was terribly impressive, but Flannel did get a solid effort from Eli Manning. The Hamburglers counter with a good game from Matt Ryan and Vincent Jackson, but inexplicably started no-show C.J. Spiller, leaving Steven Jackson on the bench wondering what happened. In the end, home field advantage saves the day for the 2-1-1 Flannel and leaves the Hamburglers winless in 4 attempts.

 

Roger's Ramjets 45 - Capo Di Tutti Capi 36

The WR combo of Welker and Smith power the Ramjets to a high scoring victory against a reeling Capo squad. Both teams left their defense at home, but the Ramjet’s get just enough while the Capo’s Santonio Holmes mailed it in and Brees was not his usual high scoring self. The Ramjet’s win moves them into the division lead with a 3-1 record; Capo is left searching for answers at 1-3.

Old No. 7 36 - Iron City Lagers 29

The Stafford to Johnson connection was solid this week for the Lagers, but subpar games from Maclin, Best, and Cole doom this squad to a loss. For No. 7, Michael Turner and Stephen Tulloch provided the spark for the home win, completing the sweep of the Left for the Middle Division. The Lagers go to 2-2 and remain in a tie for the Left Division lead with the Beavers, while No. 7 advances its record to 2-2.

Malleus Maleficarum 33 - Mighty Midtowne Mimes 19

Tom Brady was not overly impressive this week, but instead it is Matt Forte that rung up the huge day for Malleus. The Mimes Payton Hillis and Stevie Johnson fail to capitalize on a double goose egg from the Hammer’s WR corp. Malleus improves their record to a perfect 4-0 and stay atop the Middle Division while the Mimes loss knocks them to 1-3.
