Match-Up Build-Up Week 10

 

Njokus On You (8-1) vs The Real McCoy (5-3-1)

Njokus on you is re-writing history. They have won eight straight games, with their only loss coming in week 1. It is the 2nd best start to a season ever, and last week they won without CMC, who was on bye. Three more wins in a row would tie them for the longest winning streak in league history. If they win out, they would be the first team ever to go through the regular season with only 1 loss. Words cannot express how magical of a season it has been. Standing in front of them this week, is the franchise that holds the longest league winning streak, adding fuel to this fire. 

McCoy's four game winning streak came to an end last week against TPD. They scored only 103 points, and will be hoping for better results in week 10. Getting a few guys off of bye will help. Nothing is lost. They remain in great position overall, with a strong team, ready to battle for it all. The West Division will take shape in a major way after this clash, with either NJ grabbing a stranglehold on it, or McCoy leveling the playing field. Gear up. 

Imposing Monstrosity (6-3) vs The Dingos Ate Your Babies (5-4)

After a six game winning streak, Stros has lost two straight. They have struggled to score points in four out of their last six games, but have been able to survive due to having the league's easiest schedule. This week they have three huge pieces on bye. In order to regain the momentum they had earlier in the season, they will need Walker to start playing better, and more consistent production out of Olave and Higgins. If those things happen, they will be right back in the thick of it. A win this week would be huge, considering the bye week troubles they have. 

The Dingos have won two straight, as each of their last two opponents have scored below 75 points a piece. Still, they are 3rd in points scored, so their soft schedule as of late hasn't helped them as much as last season. They carry an impressive (5-0) divisional record into week 10, with all of their losses coming against the West Division. They are 5th in the standings right now, just barely out of the projected playoff bracket. The team is good, and will be looking for a huge win this week, against an opponent whose stars are on bye.

The Peaking Dynasty (6-3) vs La Flama Blanca (3-5-1)

TPD is finally getting some good luck. They won last week, only scoring 113 points in the victory. It is the type of win that has eluded them for years. They are getting guys back from bye this week, and JJ may be back in week 11. If JJ and Chase can remain healthy down the stretch, this team will be a very difficult out. The poor play of Bijan has hurt their RB core, but like their star WRs, if he starts to play better, look out. 

LFB has been playing well, but is still struggling to win games consistently. They have the 2nd fewest points scored, and that is including the 170 point game two weeks ago. It is still a good team, likely one that deserves a better record, but they are once again reliant on aging veterans. A win this week is likely critical to keep their playoff hopes alive. Look for them to lay it all on the line.
