3FL Notes: S24: Week 13 Preview

Our lowest scoring week of the year also saw the Marauders set a new record for most team points in a regular season game. And only a single playoff spot was claimed, so there are still seven up for grabs with only one team mathematically eliminated. The separation between third place and ninth place is just one game with only two weeks to go in the regular season!

There are three Thanksgiving Day games and one on Friday afternoon this week. Make sure your team is ready.

And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 13:

Marauders (-1/2) vs. Dumbbums
WOW. The Marauders just posted our highest regular season weekly total ever (and third-highest weekly score of all time). They not only outscored their opponent by more than 100, but they also posted more points than 4 other game totals (both teams combined) last week. They can't do that again, but it's going to be tough for the 'Bums to beat our new scoring leader.

Predacons (-1/2) vs. Misfits, Inc.
With last week's win the Preds snagged our first postseason berth. Now they just have to focus on the division title and staying in the top spot. Or maybe that's not the best idea? FitzCorp is going to make it close and has a chance at a Sunday night comeback. Will snow in Buffalo be better or worse for a fantasy Defense?

Phys. Ed. Phenoms (-1) vs. Lightning
This game is huge. The loser will be eliminated from playoff contention while the winner...might also be eliminated depending on what happens in a couple other games. PEP has a huge advantage if Purdy is healthy and Pacheco comes off the IR in time for Friday's game. Actually they also look pretty good if neither of those things happen.

the HAW (-1/2) vs. Spiked Vipers
Somehow the CAPS took a loss last week as a 27 point favorite. Picking the wrong QB (again) didn't help, but playing the winless Vipers may be just what they need now. Then again, we keep proving that anything can happen in the 3FL. Can SpiVi earn a victory after 14 failed attempts? Or will they add their name to the longest losing streak list?

Yuengling Brewers (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers
Somehow the Stompers picked up a win without starting a QB last week. I'm not sure that's a good strategy to continue implementing, especially when playing the team at the top of their division and sitting just outside of the playoff eight. The Brew Crew is favored here but the matchup will stretch throughout Thanksgiving week. Half of their combined players have games outside of the Sunday afternoon time slots.

And the game of the week...

Baltimorons (-1/2) vs. Renegades
It would have probably been better as a win, but the Renegades' tie and the half game that goes along with it are making things interesting in the middle of the standings. Coach Val's team can leapfrog the 'Morons with a win here and it's going to come down to the wire. Both teams have players going in the same NFL game multiple times this week. It should be fun to watch!

Happy Thanksgiving and good luck this week!
