Week 11

1. The Perpetual Dynasty (6-3-1) vs The Glorious Morgans (9-1)
TPD has responded after a brutal unlucky tie to win 2 straight. Their uptick in play has been mirrored by poor play by their opponents. After three straight weeks of opponents putting up big numbers, the last two weeks their opponents have laid an egg. This team is somewhat flying under the radar which is uncharacteristic for TPD squads. They would break through the radar if they were to win this week. The RB woes that plagued them all year has been steadily improving the last couple weeks. It is a strong team, scoring the 3rd most points in the league, but they have yet to truly blow up this season. This may just be who they are or they could be headed for big things down the stretch. 

The Morgans are now the holder of the all time best start to a season, entering week 11 at (9-1). There are no words to describe this phenomenon. There were thoughts that this season could be special dating all the way back to the draft slot selection show, when TDs inexplicably selected the 9th slot, allowing The Morgans to jump all the way to 4th. Fast forward to now and the Morgans are (9-1) while TDs is (1-9). Once again the Morgans find ways to get points out of players no one else can, as Robert Woods exploded for 38 points a week ago. Injuries, byes, and circumstance have not mattered for this team, they have been untouchable. Couple that with teams averaging 98 points against them and it is clear why this season has been so special.

This is a much bigger game for TPD as they continue to fight for a playoff spot, but it is unquestionably one of the best games of the season. On the line for the Morgans is 9 straight victories, which would beat TPD's twice achieved record of 8 straight wins. It is safe to say there is a lot going on in this match-up for all time records and rest of season sake.

2. Imposing Monstrosity (4-5-1) vs Tavon and Only (3-7)
Stros is in danger of falling out of the playoff race. They have to win this week. If they can find some momentum this week it may carry them a long way. This is still a very talented team. 

3. El Pollo Loc (6-3-1) vs I Love Brock N' Roll (3-7)
Loco is not leading the West for the first time all season. They played well last week but could not with stand Cam getting 40 points. The loss of Zeke is a big blow but the emergence of Kamara has counterbalanced it. No one has been able to match Loco's ability for blow up weeks this season, but their inconsistency has been a detriment. A win this week rebuilds the momentum. The playoffs are still right in front of them. 

4. The Real McCoy(7-3) vs ShowMeYourTDs (1-9)
McCoy did it again..again..again. All they do is win close games. What saved them last week was scoring 9 total touchdowns, tied for most in a game this season. Outside of Newton the roster wildly underperformed, with their 3 WRs combining for 125 yards, while their RBs combined for 56 rushing yards. They've won 6 straight games but have been outscored by their opponents on the season. Their lucky streak of not playing other teams studs continues this week as Freeman will be out due to concussion.  

5. La Flama Blanca (6-3-1) vs Unstopa-Bo (3-7)
LFB keeps finding ways to win games. They've scored over 112 points only twice in their last 7 games but have 6 wins on the season.
