Match-up Build-up Week 11

1. Advantageous Morgans @ The Perpetual Dynasty

Good luck finding a single game of the week in one of the most important weeks of an MFFL season ever. Many teams around the league have crucial match-ups in order to keep 2016 playoff hopes alive. It is a must win game for almost every team around the league, as the parody of this season continues to grow. Headlining the mega week will be two hot teams from the East division.

Don't look now but the Morgans have won three straight games, averaging over 130 points per game during that stretch. Unbelievably they are only 1 game back out of the East division lead. Their roster has been sparked by the outstanding play of Mariota and Murray. To even be in this position is a testament to the hard work and dedication of this franchise, but now the Morgans have bigger goals in mind. A win over TPD could propel this team to heights no one thought were possible even just a few weeks ago. 

TPD won their 2nd straight game last week in a big match-up against LFB. They are averaging over 143 ppg in their last six contests and their ridiculous schedule has softened each of the last two weeks. They continue to climb out of their early season hole in hopes of closing out strong. They will be without a few big names due to byes this week but others need to step up in their absence. Trying to guess what TPD will do week to week is impossible due to their seemingly endless supply of weird happenstance.

This is a huge game for both squads. Who knows what will happen in this match-up, but The Morgans kick started their season with a strong performance against TPD in the first match-up and TPD hopes to send the Morgans engine into idle in the 2nd contest on Sunday. This is a big one.

2. El Pollo Loco @ La Flama Blanca

Another hugely important game garners the #2 spot for week 11. Loco bounced back last week to acquire their 3rd win in 4 games. It was a big performance considering the players they had on bye. Their season has been limited by injuries but this squad continues to perform and they are right in the thick of it when it comes to playoff positioning. It was stated many weeks ago that this team would be a contender after a slow start and they have validated that claim. They hope to keep it rolling for the final stretch of the season.

LFB has lost 4 games in a row and five of their last 6. Their squad has not been producing at a high clip and their schedule was been hard over the last 4 contests. This team is in dire need of a win. A loss to Loco would be extremely damaging to their playoff aspirations.

3. The North Remembers @ Tavon and Only

Both teams have lost two straight. TNR has had to deal with bye week issues each of the last two weeks and they hope those issues are behind them for week 11. Their roster has not stepped up in the absence of some big names, leading to two poor performances. Even without Gronk potentially this week, their roster looks like it can bounce back this week in a huge match-up against Tavon.

Tavon has fallen hard after a strong mid season stretch and this week they are without M. Ryan and E. Sanders who are on bye, and A. Jeffery due to suspension. This ship is taking on water and Tavon will have to due whatever it takes to keep it afloat. A win against TNR is what it will take to keep the ship from sinking.  

4. ShowMeYourTDs @ The Real McCoy

TDs may be 9th in the standings but they are 3rd in points scored. This team could play spoiler down the stretch and quite possibly play for more with the nature of the parody rich East division.

McCoy has gone on a predictable good run after a poor stretch a few weeks ago. This team scores Touchdowns at a great clip and they seem to be getting hot at the right time. Their win last week in the mega match-up against UB was a massive victory and their hopes have been reignited for the stretch run.

5. Pryor to the Snap @ Unstopa-Bo

This is #1 vs #10 but UB has major bye week issues and Pryor is coming off two straight big performances. Do not overlook this match-up.
