Isaiah Likely Delivers as Pounders Escape
Final: Puerto Rican Pounders 101.38, Big Tex's Pillow Biters 95.8
I saw Puerto Rican Pounders pull off a 101.38 to 95.8 victory despite leaving 36.52 points on the pine. Isaiah Likely carried the load with 23.9 points, smashing his 13.72 projection to rank first among all tight ends, while Luther Burden beat his 11.52 expectation with 17.5. Bijan Robinson was a colossal bust, putting up just 7.3 points against a 25.16 projection.
Coach Billy Hayes gifted this away, leaving 22.54 points behind. Starting Denzel Boston and his 2.5 points over DeVonta Smith and his 20.5 cost 18 critical points. Drake Maye dropped 26.8 points to beat his 21.75 expectation, but Boston cratered.
Puerto Rican Pounders improve to 4-2 with one win in a row and lead this series 3-2 all-time, avenging their previous loss. Big Tex's Pillow Biters drop to 2-4 with two straight losses. Next week, Coach eddospagheddo meets the 2-4 Alcoholniks, while Coach Billy Hayes clashes with 3-3 The Prodigies.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba Sparks Keep Pounding
Final: Keep Pounding 89.54, 2nd Hand Smoke 82.86
I have to shake my head at how Keep Pounding secured an 89.54 to 82.86 win. Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the charge with 25.4 points against a 22.5 projection, and Bryce Young beat his 17.65 expectation with 21.84. Coach Hemlok survived starting Juwan Johnson, who gave a goose egg specialist performance of zero points when projected for 11.07.
Coach CallsignRacehorse left 29.7 points on the bench, enough to flip the result. Starting Brian Thomas for 0 points over Tetairoa McMillan and his 14.6 cost 14.6 points. Christian McCaffrey was the supreme overperformer with 30.7 points, while Garrett Wilson disappointed with 8.4 against a 15.6 projection.
Keep Pounding advances to 2-4, snapping their slump to win one straight and extending their series edge to 3-1 all-time. 2nd Hand Smoke slips to 1-5 with three straight losses. My schedule notes Coach Hemlok faces the 4-2 Coweta Crackas next, while Coach CallsignRacehorse gets 4-2 Shartnado.
Jonathan Taylor Carries Shartnado Over Crackas
Final: Shartnado 109.08, Coweta Crackas 96.8
I watched Shartnado stumble into a 109.08 to 96.8 victory despite missing their lofty 159 projection. Jonathan Taylor spearheaded the offense with 21.1 points against a 22.7 expectation, backed by Matthew Stafford with 18.88. Kyren Williams flopped as the biggest bust, scraping together 9.7 points compared to his 20.87 projection.
Coach bodilyfunction committed a fatal bench blunder, leaving 24.3 points parked away. Starting Devaughn Vele for 7.2 points instead of tight end Kyle Pitts and his 23 points cost 15.8 points. Ladd McConkey struggled through a tough break with 2.7 points as he was dealing with a concussion injury in this game, while Malik Nabers exploded for 28.5 to beat his 14.94 expectation.
Coach Erran Yearty moves Shartnado to 4-2, riding four straight wins to stay atop the South Side. Coweta Crackas fall to 4-2 after one loss but retain first in the North Side in this first meeting between them. Shartnado now plays 1-5 2nd Hand Smoke, while Coweta Crackas take on 2-4 Keep Pounding.
Kenneth Walker Powers KeonCounty Payback
Final: KeonCounty 132.94, The Prodigies 100.62
I love watching a proper revenge script unfold, and KeonCounty dominated The Prodigies 132.94 to 100.62. Kenneth Walker led the assault with 27.9 points against a 22.76 projection, and D'Andre Swift crushed his 15.13 expectation with 23. Zay Flowers disappointed as the biggest bust with 12.7 against a 17.36 projection, but it hardly mattered.
Coach callen828 nailed the tight end slot, starting Hunter Henry for 14.8 points over Jake Ferguson for an 11.5 point gain. Coach NolesProdigy took a hit starting Bucky Irving and his 6.9 points over J.K. Dobbins and his 13.6, leaving 18.5 points on the bench. Kirk Cousins paced the losing side with 20.52 points.
KeonCounty improves to 4-2 with two straight wins, taking a 3-1 all-time series lead. The Prodigies drop to 3-3 with one loss. My radar shows KeonCounty facing 4-2 Egbuka Matata next, while The Prodigies battle 2-4 Big Tex's Pillow Biters.
Tyler Shough Ignites Egbuka Matata Rout
Final: Egbuka Matata 150.76, Alcoholniks 81.82
I witnessed pure carnage as Egbuka Matata routed Alcoholniks 150.76 to 81.82. Tyler Shough dominated the slate with 29.96 points against a 17.8 projection, while kicker Chris Boswell poured in 18 to destroy his 7.85 expectation. Coach TheBredeBunch left a measly 2.6 points on the pine in a near-flawless display.
Coach Nick Claeboe was completely cooked, putting up an empty slot as Jeremiyah Love scored 0 points and did not play this game because of a ankle injury. Cam Skattebo also posted 0 against a 10.15 expectation, and starting Rhamondre Stevenson for 3.6 points over Jakobi Meyers and his 13.3 wasted 9.7 points. Matthew Golden was their lone bright spot with 22.4.
Egbuka Matata advances to 4-2 with two straight wins, holding a 2-0 all-time series record. Alcoholniks fall to 2-4 with three straight losses. My notes show Coach TheBredeBunch meeting 4-2 KeonCounty next week, while Coach Nick Claeboe looks to rebound against 4-2 Puerto Rican Pounders.
Week 6 showed us that bench points are the easiest way to throw away a matchup. Set your lineups with care next week, or I will roast your roster management all over again.
