Match-Up Build-Up Week 7

1. The Perpetual Dynasty (4-2) vs Unstopa-Bo (3-3)

TPD's season has been ridiculous on multiple levels. They are in first place, have the most points in the league, and have scored 190 and 175 in the last two weeks. But they have scored less than what has been scored against them. Their 153 points against per game average is set to shatter the previous hardest ever schedule of 143 points against per game, set by Baker in 2018. But they have been able to survive due to their own heroic performances, as they are averaging 145 ppg on the season. Through the first six weeks, TPD has been carried by their draft capital, with the bulk of their production coming from their August selections. Poor circumstances have tried to hold them down, but they have risen above it, settling into the familiar spot of being on top, and the hunted. This week they have a crazy amount of guys on bye, so a drop in production is expected. 

UB has managed to win two straight, but they did so last week while only scoring 99 points. They've scored over 125 only once this season, and entering week 7 they have yet to make one single transaction. They are also dealing with bye week issues, but if there was ever a time to play TPD it would be this week. How long they can keep this up is a serious question, but a win this week would put them over (.500), and everyone this year has played their best when matching up against TPD. 

2. Chicken Noodle Coop (3-3) vs Baker's Chubbin' (3-3)

Both Coop and Baker have lost two straight. They are in dire need of a victory on Sunday. 

Coop, like so many before them, fell victim to scoring below 100 points against McCoy last week. The squad has taken a nose dive after producing strong early season performances. Like multiple teams this week, they have key studs on bye, meaning they have to piece together a starting lineup from their bench. They need to get Carson and Judy back from injury, which may happen in week 9. If they can survive until then, they'll insert some fire power for the final stretch. 

Baker's scored the second fewest points in the league. They have managed to keep games close, but the injury to Wilson has hurt them as expected. The good news is they still have guys playing well across their starting lineup. If they can survive until Wilson is healthy, they will likely compete for a playoff spot. They lack a true stud outside of Zeke, but the lineup is very balanced. Their depth may be more critical to their success once bye weeks and injuries happen as the season progresses. 

The other three match-ups feature 3 top four teams squaring off against the bottom 3 teams. Here are some bullet points.

-Loco once again had a down week after a good game the week previous. They're still getting it done though, sitting third in points scored. They have big bye week blues this week, which opens the door for TDs to potentially get a big victory. 

-TDs is dealing with bye troubles of their own. They've lost four of five, scoring below 100 points in three of those games.

-McCoy played better a week ago. They will try to be more consistent entering week 7. Once again they had a team score below 100 against them. Outside of Loco scoring 179 against them in week 5, the next highest point total against them this season is 112. Wow. 

-LFB blew up last week. Derrick Henry is a beast. This has been the theme for them all year. They will have smash weeks, but are also prone to duds more frequently than they would like. As has been said, the lineup is utterly terrifying when everyone is playing at their best. They slot right behind TPD in terms of potential explosiveness. 

-Stros finally played great last week, but it wasn't even to beat TPD. After a year+ of winning games with below average performances, it finally caught up them, as they scored 164 last week in a losing effort. 

-The Morgan's enter week 7 at (2-4). The next three teams on their schedule are McCoy, TPD, and LFB. this ship will either turn around in a big way, or go down sinking.
