Week 9 Match-up Build-up

GAME OF THE WEEK

Perpetual Dynasty (5-3) VS La Flama Blanca (6-2)
     Division supremacy is on the line for this super-sized week 9 match-up. Both of these squads have the look of playoff teams. They are both undefeated in the East Division. Unfortunately, this match-up is not as special as it should be. Peyton, Calvin, Demaryius, Frank, Wes, Julius, and Hakeem are all on bye. This match-up is simply about surviving. La Flama has won four straight games. He is starting to pull away from the rest of the pack. It is important to know that his team has only scored over 124 one time in his last four games. He has benefited from having an easy schedule. He currently holds the easiest schedule in the league. PD is rolling after scoring the most points each of the past two weeks while also scoring over 140 in 4 out of his last 5 games. He has won two straight games even though both opponents he's faced scored the 2nd highest point totals in each week. He has survived having the league's hardest schedule. Teams are averaging an amazing 135 points a game against him. We would like to break down who has the edge in this match-up, but considering that neither team is at full strength, it is impossible to tell. Both teams are looking to obtain a victory by any means possible. We expect their week 12 match-up to have more fireworks, but considering this is the only match-up showcasing two teams above .500 it is the game of the week. The winner moves that much closer to the playoffs while also division supremacy.

2. The Reckoning (4-4) VS Beau-dacious Babes (5-3)
     More bye week issues await for this week's number 2 match-up. Decker, Davis, and Cruz are all on bye. The Babes are stumbling. They have averaged 99 points in two straight losses. Bye weeks were their demise last week and they could hurt them again for week 9. The Babes simply need to get healthy and move past their byes. Look for them to start scoring more points in week 10. Reckoning has lost 3 out of 4 after starting the season (3-1). In his last 4 games he has averaged 103 points per game. His loss last week to Weeden and Weep has him pissed off. Reckoning is at their best when their backs are against the wall. Expect him to break out of the gates fast. He may try to exercise some demons in his rematch against Weeden in week 12. Both teams need a victory here. Another tree fitty is on the table. Expect each manager to win at all costs.

3. Tavon and Only (3-5) VS The Real McCoy (4-4)
     RIVALS!!!! These two hate each other. Tavon is slipping. He has lost 5 out of 6. OUCH! McCoy continues to be hit or miss. Lynch had 3 points last week!!!! He has scored the 3rd fewest points this season. He has benefited from having the 2nd easiest schedule.The play of kaepernick gives him hope that his team can make a strong push late in the year. If McCoy does not take care of business here, it will damage his playoff chances.

4. El Pollo Loco (4-4) VS Weeden and Weep (3-5)
     Loco continues to put up points. Weeden won last week because his opponent scored 79 points. Loco needs to win against an inferior opponent.

5. ShowMeYourTDs (2-6) VS Advantageous Morgans (4-4)
     TDs finally put up a good point total last week, but he still lost. The Morgans would have beaten any other team last week but unfortunately he played PD. TDs needs to have a great week if he wants to beat the strong Morgans. We'll see come Sunday.
