And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 6:

Dumbbums (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers
Last week saw the Stompers lose for the first time this season and they were our only remaining undefeated team. And this game is almost too close to call. But the 'Bums had better hope Breece Hall doesn't have to make up too many points as their last hope on MNF.

Yuengling Brewers (-1/2) vs. Marauders
This one is shaping up to be a great battle, with only the slightest of edges going to the Marauders because of their RBs. But it's also possible Jalen Hurts finally has a breakout game and that could be all the Brew Crew needs to get back to .500.

Baltimorons (-1) vs. Predacons
The Preds just took over first place in the standings and they have recorded the Biggest Blowout™ for the past three weeks in a row. That all stops here, though, as the 'Morons have the better matchups and a chance at a quick start tonight.

Spiked Vipers (-1/2) vs. Lightning
Our bottom two teams face off in an interesting matchup. The Bolts finally won one last week but SpiVi could only muster a tie. Another loss here will make a difficult road to the postseason for either team. Ten combined Questionable players is already a bad start, but is it possible the Lightning won't even be able to complete their starting lineup?

Phys. Ed. Phenoms (-1/2) vs. the HAW
Both of these teams could use a little luck right now. PEP lost by a single point last week while the CAPS scored 96 points but somehow came out on the wrong end of the largest margin of victory. QBs will tell the story of this one, mostly because Mahomes is on a bye for Coach HAW. But after scoring only 6 points last week maybe Goff deserves a chance anyway?

And the game of the week...

Renegades (-1/2) vs. Misfits, Inc.
Perhaps the Renegades should have had an easy W last week, but they at least came away with a tie thanks to a big Vikings defensive performance. But Minnesota is on a bye this week. FitzCorp is quietly in third place, but they'll have to pick the right starters (and pick up a kicker) to stay there. It's going to be a close one.

Good luck this week.

3FL Standings (after S24:Week 5)

All six winning teams scored more than 100 points last week, while the none of the losing teams scored more than 70. That was an interesting end to the first set of divisional games.

The byes start this week – make sure your team is ready. And don't forget about the 9:30am game on Sunday from Old England!

Monday Night: New Orleans Saints @ Kansas City Chiefs
Bye Week: Chargers, Eagles, Lions, Titans

---

And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 5:

the HAW (-1/2) vs. Predacons
These two are matched up evenly but the Preds have half of their team marked as Questionable. And isn't Mahomes due for a breakout game? We'll have to wait for MNF to see if that happens, or if Kareem Hunt surprises everyone instead.

Yuengling Brewers (-1/2) vs. Lightning
Things have not been good for the Bolts lately. They've lost their last seven straight (going back to last season) and another L here would put them on the records page. But they have a chance to turn things around against the Brew Crew, who has lost two in a row and (because of bye weeks) are starting Bo Nix at QB.

Baltimorons (-1) vs. Misfits, Inc.
Matching records or not, the matchups favor the 'Morons in a big way in this one. That is if they can find a single healthy RB and if FitzCorp doesn't outscore everyone again this week. 

Stiletto Stompers (-1/2) vs. Marauders
The Stompers are rolling right now and they are still our only undefeated team. The defending champs have a chance to hand them a first loss, but Saquon Barkley's bye is not helping that cause. Thursday and Sunday nights will tell the story with 1/3 of the combined players in one of those games.

Renegades (-1) vs Spiked Vipers
There are a lot of good players on IR between these two. SpiVi is still searching for their first win of the year and they may have to keep looking. Especially if the Renegades find a TE to plug into the lineup as a bye week replacement.

And the game of the week...

Dumbbums (-1/2) vs. Phys. Ed. Phenoms
They have the same record and their scoring totals are within two points of each other after the first month of the season. The 'Bums start things off tonight, but PEP will have a chance for a Sunday night comeback during the Steelers game. Will it be enough?

Good luck this week.

And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 4:

Phys. Ed. Phenoms (-1/2) vs. Misfits, Inc.
With five players going in the prime time games this week, FitzCorp is hoping they can put together a big comeback and get back to their winning ways. But that also depends on some Q designations and the Phenoms choice of a FLEX player.

Predacons (-1/2) vs. Lightning
The Bolts could really use their first win since W12 of last season. The Preds have a different idea, though, and extending that streak would keep Coach Sinkerbeam's team atop the North with a perfect divisional record in the first set of games.

Stiletto Stompers (-1) vs. Spiked Vipers
Don't look now, but the Stompers are our top team and the only undefeated squad left. All this despite the fact that they are ninth in scoring. It looks like they'll get another W here, as long as the Cowboys do well tonight and some of those Questionable players take the field on Sunday.

Baltimorons (-1/2) vs. Dumbbums
Scoring more than 300 points after the first three games is a good start and the 'Morons are one of two teams to do that. They have an even matchup here, but is Jaden Daniels poised for another breakout game that tips the scales toward the 'Bums?

Renegades (-1/2) vs. Marauders
Speaking of 300, the Renegades have the highest total in the league going into this week (1 point ahead of the Baltimorons). They've been our top scoring team in two out of three weeks so far this season. That might not happen again but they are in good hands with Josh Allen being the only player with a game scheduled after dinner on Sunday.

And the game of the week...

the HAW (-1/2) vs. Yuengling Brewers
This is projected to be the highest scoring game of the week by far and it's going to be a close one too. The excitement will last all week as there is a player in every scheduled game. The QB matchup is key, but so are all those Qs (with most of them on the Brew Crew side).

Good luck this week.

3FL Standings (after S24:Week 3)

3FL Notes: S24: Week 3 Preview

Our first week of divisional games was not as close as anyone thought. But two teams scored more than 125 points and we saw some breakout individual player totals.

There are two MNF games to make things even more interesting this week!

And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 3:

Predacons (-1/2) vs. Misfits, Inc.
FitzCorp is 2-0 but things are leaning away from them this week. The Preds got back to even after a terrible first game and they look solid here, but they're going to have to address the TE situation at some point.

Baltimorons (-1/2) vs. Renegades
So the Renegades came back to earth after their high flying start, going from the top total in the league in week one to the lowest total in week two. They'll be in in the middle this time around, and it will all come down to the QB duel on double MNF.

Marauders (-1/2) vs. Dumbbums
These two are evenly matched and it should be a fun one to watch. Both are hoping for a big game from the Jets tonight, but Coach Hoss is also hoping that Jordan Love heals up by Sunday at 1pm.

Lightning (-1/2) vs. Phys. Ed. Phenoms
Both of these teams have point totals just about even with their North Division rivals, but they're both still looking for their first win of the season. It's a toss up as they match up well across the roster. But that's only if Joe Mixon is healthy enough to play.

the HAW (-1) vs. Spiked Vipers
These two teams are also winless through our first two weeks. Someone will pick up their first victory here, and it's looking like the CAPS should run away with it. It will still be entertaining to watch the five combined starters on Sunday night though.

And the game of the week...

Yuengling Brewers (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers
The Brew Crew is riding an eleven game regular season winning streak into this matchup of unbeatens. Can they make it a dozen? Or will the Stompers roll to 3-0 and stand alone atop the division? They'll have to hope some of those Qs disappear before Sunday afternoon to have a chance.

Good luck this week.

3FL Standings (after S24:Week 2)

3FL Notes: S24: Week 2 Preview

The league kicked off our 24th year by scoring more than 1,000 points in week one and most of the matchups were super close. We saw point margins of 1, 2, 3, 4, 9 and 56.

The East Division currently holds the top three spots in the standings but that won't last because the first set of intradivisional games starts this week. Make sure your team is ready!

And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 2:

Dumbbums (-1/2) vs. Renegades
Yes, I am aware that the Renegades were our highest scoring team by a wide margin. And they won the biggest blowout. And they have the best drafted team (A+!). But the matchups are leaning things in the direction of the 'Bums, and that's even if the overall #1 pick is able to get onto the field.

Spiked Vipers (-1/2) vs. Yuengling Brewers
They may be in last place now, but SpiVi was only a couple points away from a win and a much higher spot in the standings. They look poised for a rebound game this week. But we'll have to wait until after dinner on Sunday to have any idea about the outcome. Five players (including both QBs) are scheduled in the night games.

Phys. Ed. Phenoms (-1/2) vs. Predacons
The Preds earned an A grade for their draft and were projected to score the most points in the league in week one. That didn't happen and now they find themselves in 11th place after ending up on the wrong end of the biggest blowout. PEP was slightly better but still lost by a couple, so both are looking to not go 0-2 to start the season.

Marauders (-1/2) vs. Baltimorons
You'd think Coach Hoss's team would have an easy one this week based on the matchups, but we all know how these things go. Both teams start things off tonight but we'll have to wait for three Marauders in prime time to see if the comeback worked.

the HAW (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers
The CAPS had a solid week to start the season but managed to end up with a loss. In fact, they outscored all but two of the teams in the league, including the Stompers. They'll get a chance to make up for it here and the projections are in their favor.

And the game of the week...

Lightning (-1/2) vs. Misfits, Inc.
This is going to be a good one. It might not be the highest scoring game of the week but it's looking like the most evenly matched. The Bolts will get a head start tonight and then FitzCorp will be waiting on the two WR night game performances for the comeback.

Good luck this week.
