Week 5 - Steem Fantasy Football League # 1 - Preview Matchups
Week 5 Is Upon Us
I cannot believe we are now getting under way with week 5 of the NFL season. It is going way too fast. I don't think I have even lost an entire Sunday to watching football yet. But don't worry, that will happen sooner or later this season. Our league is no different, the games are going so fast, and for some, time is running out to make a spot for themselves in the post season. Let's take a look at our six upcoming matchups of the week.
Week 5 Matchup Previews
Bacchist vs The Pot Heads
Our first matchup of week 5 has two opponents with 1-3 records. Neither team has really been able to find their groove this season thus far, but that could change. As it is both teams are coming off of wins, and going for two in a row. If Bacchist wants the win, he is going to have to get more than 0 points out of his TE. And Marcus Mariota is going to have to play better than he has been. The Pot Heads had an impressive win last week, but it was due to the 30 points put up by his kicker. Unless something like that happens again, The Pot Heads may be gearing up for their 4th loss. This should be an interesting matchup.
Prediction: Bacchist 90.25 - The Pot Heads 140.09
Lucksacks.com vs The Pink Socks
In our second matchup of week 5, we have the Lucksacks who are trying to break their three game losing streak, and a record of 1-3; and The Pink Socks which have a record of 2-2. If Lucksacks wants to break the losses, he will need some help from RB Andre Ellington, as well as TE Hunter Henry. So far both have been under performing. Pink Socks will be counting on rookie sensation Deshaun Watson to have another monster game. If he does, The Pink Socks will improve to 3-2, and Lucksacks will be calling an end to a disappointing season.
Prediction: Lucksacks 114.80 - The Pink Socks 110.16
BlitzRix vs Smokin' Moons
Our third matchup of week 5 should be an exciting one. We have BlitzRix at 2-2, and the still undeafted Smokin' Moons at 4-0. If BlitzRix wants to partake in an upset, he will need major help from his WR core. Right now they are not expected to perform as needed. If Smokin' wants to continue trucking down wins, his RBs are going to have to do some work. Right now as it stands, they may be the cause of his first loss. This is going to be quite the close match, I will be watching.
Prediction: BlitzRix 108.15 - Smokin' Moons 111.60
Waffles-N-Syrup vs Daut44
The fourth matchup of week 5 may be the most evenly matched game of the week. We have the 1-3 Waffles, and 2-2 Daut44 going head to head. If Waffles-N-Syrup want to lock up their second victory, RB Chris Carson will have to do better than 0 points. He will also need a better showing than expected from the Baltimore defense. Standing in his way will be Dautt44 led by star RB Toddy Gurley who has been on fire as of late. However, the 0 points expected from his second RB Ty Montgomery, will not help his cause.
Prediction: Waffles-N-Syrup 117.52 - Daut44 115.65
Stargate Worlds vs Cloud Crushers
The fifth matchup of week 5 will be an interesting one. Stargate World has a record of 1-3 and is going to need all the help from his role playing WRs. They all will need to have big games for him to have a chance at a win. The Cloud Crushers will be standing on the back of QB Dak Prescott. If he has a big game, as expected, Cloud will most likely be improving to 4-1. This match is no guarantee for Cloud though. It may turn out to be a tough fought battle.
Prediction: Stargate Worlds 92.15 - Cloud Crushers 117.64
The Kebab Kings vs MissiontotheMoon
The sixth and final match of week 6 is going to be a massacre, with nothing but shreds of kebab left over. The 2-2 Kebabs will be taking on the 4-0 Mission. Mission is leading the charge with QB Aaron Rogers and lighting fast WR Tyreke Hill; both players will most likely have a big hand in bringing Mission his 5th straight win. If Kebab wants to make a game of it, he will have to get more than 0 points from his QB, 0 points from his RB, and 0 points from two of his WR.
Prediction: The Kebabs 64.89 - MissiontotheMoon 117.56
