Week 6 Match-Up Build-Up

GAME OF THE WEEK

The Advantageous Morgans vs Imperium

     The top two teams in the league are the main event for rivalry week #1 in the MFFL. All Imperium does is win. They are (8-1) in their last nine games dating back to last season. Their undefeated start to the season has been incredible especially considering the state of their franchise following the draft. Imperium has only two players remaining from their drafted team, Hopkins and Hauschka, proving just how much Imperium disliked the players they selected. This group of road warriors has gone to bat all season long for this team, and Imperium is extremely thankful. Their match-up this week is against one of the best teams in the league, Advantageous Morgans. The Morgans and Imperium always play tough with only one game separating this traditional rivalry. Imperium will continue to be confident until someone proves they should not be. A (5-0) start for a team that has already proven they can improve their roster after the draft is simply impressive, and the league must settle in for a season with Imperium as one of the top dogs.

     The Morgans have worked miracles as well this season. They were not satisfied with their work in the draft but they worked hard to change it. Now they insert Antonio Gates as a weekly starter to make their team that much more imposing. The one concern for the morgans may be their RB situation entering this week as on paper it does not look to be strong. The Morgans always come to play against Imperium and its expected to be a shootout come Sunday. The Morgans are great at bouncing back after poor season's and this year they have stormed to the front of the East division.

     Both teams look to be fully loaded for this one, outside of the Morgan's RBs. Both teams will likely remain atop their divisions regardless of the outcome but a combined (9-1) record makes this the best match-up of the week. Imperium is trying to set a new unbeaten record, surpassing their (7-0) start in 2012. To do so they need three more victories in a row. The Morgans will look to break the streak. After all, it was the morgans last year that started Imperium's five game losing streak. Ya....Its personal for both teams.

2. ShowMeYourTDs vs Unstopa-Bo

     One of the closest rivalries every season headlines the 2nd best game of the week. No team is as hot as Unstopa-Bo. They continue to put up unbelievable numbers in route to their 3rd straight victory. More impressive is the fact that Unstopa-bo has already gone through Brady, Gronk and Peterson bye weeks. The most feared team in the league takes on a squad always ready to throw down with the Bo man, but Unstopa-Bo looks unstoppable.  

     TDs has failed to score over 107 in three straight games. They have to turn it around before teams like PD and LFB find a way to get some victories. They have responded well following the loss of Romo but they need better production from their flex and TE spots. They added more talent and depth this week acquiring Hilton and Demarco. If those two can play well, TDs will have one of the best teams in the league.

3. Tavon and Only vs The Real McCoy

     Tavon has been looking forward to this match-up all season. It is their top desire to beat the team synonyms with beating them. Tavon has been up and down all year and the Julio injury seems to be getting worse not better. They insert Olsen and Ivory back into their lineup after byes and they hope to get better performances all over after a tough game in week 5. Tavon feels their team has been doomed with poor circumstances all season. A win here could help them gain confidence.

     McCoy currently sits 4th in the league but they continue to feel disrespected league wide. They lost Charles for the season last week but they remain confident. Their inability to get trades accomplished has caused much frustration for them. McCoy knows their bread and butter is not trades as their teams typically pay the bills with their moves in free agency. They stick with players all season even when they're not performing well, and its been a successful strategy leading to championships. A few small deals here and there could help McCoy make another playoff run this season.

4. Perpetual Dynasty vs El Pollo Loco

     Loco got a much needed win last week. This week they face their rival PD. They hate the fact that they have to play PD twice a year. They are actually hoping Big Ben stays out this week so Antonio Brown wont be improved for Loco's opponent. A win for Loco would be a huge step in garnering more wins.

     If PD loses they are (1-5). They are currently last in the league with the fewest points scored.

5. Whitner Wonderland vs La Flama Blanca

     One team will be (1-5). Its been a tough year for both teams.
