Hey Everyone, I wanted to mix things up a little by doing the rankings this week based on who is HOT and who is NOT. Overall, i will be looking a the last 6 weeks record and point total to see who is performing the best lately. As well as who is making a push to get a chance at the playoffs (for some franchises the first time). The Power Rankings is an average of the record and points for the past 6 weeks. Week 10 Recap
Big City Hillbillies (7-3) 126 @ 90* Putters (7-3) 103 Honestly, BCH pulled out a big win this week to tie him for the lead a put him in the best spot to earn a bye week for when he makes that playoffs and yes after his win this week, he has basically ensured himself a spot in the 2015 playoffs. And the one and only Kirk Cousins put him on top!!. Outside of this, the teams were fairly matched with BCH having a slight edge. The real kicker though is BCH's bench which had 2 WR (Martavis Bryant and Floyd) putting over 20 pts. Which neither team had 20+ besides Captain Kirk noted above. 90* Putters is putting up average numbers but his streak of forcing team’s to their worst week seems to be over for now. However, he has put himself in a decent position by basics ensuring him a playoff spot with a ending record no worse than 7-6. This should be more than enough to make the playoffs this year. However, with his top WR out almost indefinitely, he’ll need Cobb to start producing again if he wants one of those playoff bye spots. On the other hand BCH is the hottest team over the past 6 weeks. Hopefully, (for him) his team keeps this hot streak up locking him a playoff bye spot. River Gypsies (7-3) 110 @ Troll Hunters (6-4) 101 Overall RGs made a pretty solid trade for his old reliable Freeman (who was on bye) and giving up the hot DeAngelo and Yeldon. These two guys had two poor weeks this week and would’ve been a liability that could’ve cost him the week if he would’ve started either one of these two. Also both teams had decent performances except for THs starting Willie Snead. Honestly, he has been pretty hot so he was suppose to be good for a few points. It’s easy to look back and say start Matt Jones but he only got extra touches after Morris’ rib injury. So overall RGs won this match fairly outright but didn’t have any room for error on his bench this week. And not to mention the quality pick up of P Manning for the upcoming Breezy bye week… I’m glad he was pulled last week as compared to this week since TH can’t avoid that disaster this week against IOs. With playoffs on the line, each week can make your season or wreck your year when you are still on the playoff bubble. However, with IOs at 5-5, it’s almost a bigger deal to earn the W next week after his loss to 302 Cadets. However, more on that later. 302 Cadets (4-6) 122 @ Indian Outlaws (5-5) 93 Overall, IOs lost because the “Red Rocket” turned out to be the “Red Ryder BB Gun” (per JJ Watt) and Antonio Brown coming up big with the return of Big Ben. 9 points from Andy isn’t expected and not wanted especially after a similar performance in week 8. Odell B had a good game which was countered by a strong performance by the “Home Town DST” or at least D Rocks home town Steelers at least. Other than that, no RB produced over 15 points. Outstide of the two WRs noted above, their production was fairly limited as well. Not to say other teams faired any worse, but overall it was only a average performance with 302 having a better QB, WR1, and DST day. 302 is still in the playoff hunt if he can pull off another 3 wins and maybe only 2 wins if he has the tiebreak (pending the other 6-7 teams). IOs is also on bubble and needs at least 1 and a needed 2 more wins to lock in his playoff birth. With the title on the line, it would be embarrassing for IOs to miss the playoffs. Not to say he won’t make it but with a 5-5 record and sitting at number 5 out of 6 who make it. And lastly, with 3 other teams at 4-6 fighting for the 5th and 6th (even 4th spot). Things can still get interesting if THs and IOs don’t win at least 2 of their next 3 games (and they battle each other next week). The Mullynation (4-6) 101 @ Northside Angels (4-6) 130 Honestly, this could’ve been NSA’s biggest win of the year getting him in a chance to make a push for the playoffs and also ensuring he has the tie-break against Mullynation (assuming that is head-head) if both are tied for a playoff birth. For Mullynation, having Gore on a bye puts Mullynation in a tough spot this week when win could knock a team contending for a playoff spot/putting herself one win closer. Antonio Andrews did not help her cause and odd that it is but starting two Philly RBs might have been her best play. Carolina is a tough matchup for any RB and the shaky Tennessee Offense is not a RB you want to start against Carolina. She could’ve also had come love from her TE Reed but Eifert is just too hot to bench. Either way she would’ve lost with NSA finally seeing AP produce. AP’s 80 yd TD at the end didn’t help Mully's cause but it would’ve been much more heartbreaking if she would’ve lost by only 16 or less. Overall, both teams need needs to win at least 2 if not all 3 of their next games to make the playoffs. Both teams are on the watch list to earn the last spot or two to keep their championship dreams alive. Smell My Finger (2-8) 96 @ Twin City Tree Cats 4-6 (114) Overall, Tree Cats had a few players out played SMF with the key spots being LB and DST (oh yes that’s the defense again if you didn’t guess it). SMF LB put up a solid goose egg because this Carolina LB (Thomas Davis… who?) is no Luke Kuechly. Also the DST for the Broncos was thrashed with a -2 after Manning was benched after how many interceptions? Too many to count that’s for sure. However, Both QBs were at 21, both RB1 were around 3 pts (2 to 3.4), both RB2 were around 29 (28-30) and so on. Smell my finger is in a rough spot as he is 2 wins outside of 9th place with only 3 games lefts… It’s rough not getting to choice your name for the current year but for two year in a row. That is not a good start to this franchise and we’ll see if he can get a hot streak to end this regular season. TC2 on the other hand is actually in playoff contention at 4-6 and could lock in a spot with 3 more wins. Possibly only 2 if the cards are in his favor. We’ll see if his streak can continue and earn him the final playoff spot.
