Week 5 Match-up Build-up

GAME OF THE WEEK

Perpetual Dynasty (2-2) VS The Reckoning (3-1)
     A match-up between the two most dominant teams from last season headlines the week 5 match-ups. The season has changed but both PD and Reckoning hope to maintain the status quo. Simply put, most managers around the league view PD and Reckoning as the two best and anytime these managers clash the league stops to watch. As is the norm, Reckoning is winning a lot of games to start the season. His game day decisions have been flawless. His acquisition of Darren Sproles and Eric Decker have already paid dividends as they combined for 44 points a week ago. PD scored the second most points in the league last week (155) but he still lost. It was the most points scored in a losing effort in MFFL history. PD is a notorious slow starter, but this is the time of the year when his fortunes tend to change and he goes on a roll. Reckoning has Antonio Brown on bye, but most of his starters are ready to roll against PD. PD will more than likely not have the services of C.J. Spiller and Gronk, but the acquisition of Greg Olsen should help. The key player match-ups to watch are Peyton vs Pryor and Olsen vs Graham. Reckoning needs Pryor to keep pace with Peyton, while PD hopes Olsen can keep pace with Graham. Both managers view this game as a measuring stick. The winner of this match-up will become the team to beat moving forward.

2. Weeden and Weep (2-2) VS Beau-dacious Babes (3-1)
     Managers who are turning heads around the league square off in this week's number 2 match-up. Weeden has beaten McCoy and PD in back to back weeks. Babes is simply on fire. Something has to give. Both managers have their starters for this week. Their starting lineups can compete with any team. The key will be managing stress when bye weeks and injuries occur. This match-up will be close, so get your popcorn ready.

3. El Pollo Loco (2-2) VS The Real McCoy (2-2)
     If not for a stat correction, this match-up would not have been as anticipated. McCoy successfully completed the cheapest way to obtain a victory, stat correction. He lost by one put on Monday night, but by Thursday morning a stat correction had given him the victory. It has completely shifted his season outlook. Current trends would indicate that his team is due for a down week, but this stat correction could spark a season revitalization. Bye weeks and injuries have Loco behind the eight ball for this week. The player battle to focus on is Cam VS Colin. Whoever wins the QB battle could win the match-up all together. Who knows what to expect from this game, but it should be interesting.

4. La Flama Blanca (2-2) VS Tavon and Only (2-2)
     Sinking ships hope to stay afloat for this match-up. There is a sense that while other teams are improving these teams remain stagnant. However, the season is far from over for either manager. The winner gains confidence while the loser watches their ship sink further into despair.

5. ShowMeYourTDs (0-4) VS Advantageous Morgans (2-2)
     The Morgans are catching their stride. They are looking like a real contender. While his team continues to improve, TDs is flabbergasted. He thought he had achieved his first victory of the season, but a stat correction Thursday morning crushed his spirits. If the Morgans want to be considered a contender they will have to beat a struggling TDs team.
