3FL Notes: S25: Week 9 Preview

The Baltimorons suffered their first loss of the season and that allowed the Marauders to jump back up to the top of the standings in a lopsided week. The average margin of victory was 40 points. 

We also reached the 275k milestone. The 3FL has now accumulated 275,508 regular season points.

And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 9:

the HAW (-1/2) vs. Dumbbums
Both of these teams won last week and they each moved up two places in the standings. This matchup is even across the board, and it will likely come down to which QBs get the start. And if any of those questionable tags get resolved before Sunday.

Phys. Ed. Phenoms (-1/2) vs. Lightning
This one is almost too close to call. They seem to have opposite strengths and weaknesses, but overall it's going to be tight all the way through the 'Bolts' Sunday Night players. This also assumes that there are more add/drops and lineup shifts to come.

Predacons (-1/2) vs. Spiked Vipers
The Preds have won their last six in a row and the Vipers have lost their last six. So it's pretty easy to figure out what's going to happen here. SpiVi will likely win by 20. I mean, maybe not, but it's not out of the question.

Renegades (-1/2) vs. Yuengling Brewers
Wow, there are a lot of great games scheduled this week! The Renegades still have just one loss and the Brew Crew have won their last four in a row after a rough start. It's kind of a shame that the Eagles are on a bye, because the Beermen have a whole bench full of players who are off this week. That would have made it even closer.

Misfits, Inc. (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers
Can we wait until a little later to make a pick? It's hard to tell how these lineups might (or might not) change in the next couple days. FitzCorp has a great chance to get their first win game here, but we'll have to see how it goes.

And the game of the week...

Baltimorons (-1/2) vs. Marauders
They are our top two in the standings and our top two in scoring and have matching 7-1 records. And between them they have the high score in six out of our eight weeks so far this season. It's going to be a great heavyweight battle, but the edge goes to the 'Morons because Baker Mayfield is on a bye. But the Marauders seem to score a ton of points no matter what? Maybe we'll end up with our second tie of the year.

Happy Halloween and good luck this week!

3FL Standings (after S25:Week 8)

3FL Notes: S25: Week 8 Preview

Our highest scoring week of the year saw the East win all their games and the West lose all of theirs. And we now have third different team at the top of the standings in the past three week.

Can you believe we're already halfway through our regular season? The second half starts with six NFL teams on a bye. It's going to be an interesting week.

And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 8:

Renegades (-1) vs. Lightning
There are four QBs between these two teams and only one of them will play this week. And that one is Joe Flacco. It won't be pretty but Coach Val's group will likely rebound from their first loss of the season (and brief stay at the top), even if the Bolts pick up a third string signal caller.

Predacons (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers
At least the Preds don't have too many sit/start decisions to make the wrong choice about this week. They've won five in a row and should make it six if the projections hold. Especially if their Chargers have a big start tonight.

Marauders (-1) vs. Spiked Vipers
We'll have to pay attention to this one all week, as SpiVi starts early and the Marauders have three players going late. Coach Hoss's team handed our first place team their first loss last week and they're still on pace to break some records again this year.

Yuengling Brewers (-1/2) vs. Phys. Ed. Phenoms
The Beermen have won their last three in a row and are the only team to be largely unaffected by the NFL 6x bye week. That's a big edge in this one and should help them get back to .500 against a team with a matching record.

the HAW (-1) vs. Misfits, Inc.
FitzCorp is our only team without a win this season and the way things are going that streak is going to continue. They'll have to hit the waiver wire soon, because between byes and injuries they don't have enough players to fill a starting lineup. The CAPS should be happy about a low stress week. They could use an easy win to get back into playoff position.

And the game of the week...

Baltimorons (-1/2) vs. Dumbbums
After outscoring everyone and winning their ninth regular season game in a row, the 'Morons are now alone in first place and are our only remaining undefeated team. The 'Bums are looking for the upset, though, but will need everyone to get healthy first. It will all come down to prime time. It's going to be a good one!

Good luck this week.

3FL Standings (after S25:Week 7)

3FL Notes: S25: Week 7 Preview

The Renegades outscored everyone and jumped to the top of the standings (by only 9 points over the Baltimorons) thanks to the Marauders' first loss in their last dozen regular season games. And somehow half of the league is now 2-4. 

The NFL is playing yet another Sunday morning game in Old England and two more Monday night games (with one not starting until 10pm EDT). Seven separate game times continues to be a lot to track. Make sure your team is set!

---

And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 7:

Phys. Ed. Phenoms (-1/2) vs. Spiked Vipers
These team have an even record and only seven points separate their totals after six games. They are also a combined L6. It's a shame that Josh Allen is on a bye because this would be a much closer game with him in the lineup for SpiVi.

Renegades (-1/2) vs. Marauders

Here we go! The Renegades took over the top spot last week and the Marauders lost for the first time in a long time (and they scored fewer than 100 points). But this is still the matchup we have all been waiting for with our points leader and our league leader. Tie?

Lightning (-1) vs. Dumbbums

This one would be easier to call after tonight's combined six starting players. The QB matchup is not the best, but the most of the other positions favor the Bolts.

Baltimorons (-1/2) vs. Misfits, Inc.
Is this the week that FitzCorp finally gets a win? It is against the undefeated 'Morons, but the projections are close and things are set up for a late MNF (TuesdayMorningFootball?) comeback thanks to JS-N.

Yuengling Brewers (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers
Don't look now, but the Brew Crew have won two in a row after starting the season 0-4. And it looks like they've got another win coming this week, with or without an early MNF comeback.

And the game of the week...

the HAW (-1/2) vs. Predacons
Our SB XXIV rematch looks like it's going to be a good one. Things are even across the lineups, right down to both TEs being questionable. There may be some fireworks during prime time, but it will probably come down to the WR sit/start decisions.

Good luck this week.

3FL Standings (after S25:Week 6)

3FL Notes: S25: Week 6 Preview

The undefeated Marauders, Baltimorons and Renegades all won again, but somehow 2/3 of the teams in the league have a losing record. Weird, right?

Don't forget there is another game across the pond at 9:30am on Sunday and double dose of MNF again this week.

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

Baltimorons (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers
I know the 'Morons are 5-0 and have scored 100 more points than the Stompers in our first five weeks. But this is going to be a good matchup. The projections give a slight edge to Coach Drew but these two have players in every time slot to stretch out the week.

Predacons (-1/2) vs. Phys. Ed. Phenoms
It's been quite a turnaround for the Preds. They've won their last three in a row after starting the season with two straight losses. Can they keep it up against PEP? It would help if they could keep a TE healthy.

Dumbbums (-1/2) vs. Spiked Vipers
The 'Bums have more players on IR than they have wins this year and that's never a good ratio. They'll be favored against SpiVi this week but it will probably come down to a few sit/start choices in the end.

Renegades (-1/2) vs. Misfits, Inc.
Our only remaining team without a victory gets the undefeated Renegades on the schedule this week. Justin Jefferson is on a bye, though, and even though the RBs tilt things toward Coach Val's team it just might be the week for FitzCorp to contend for a W.

the HAW (-1/2) vs. Lightning
Things may begin on Sunday morning but nothing will be decided in this one until prime time. They'll have a combined seven players active after dinner on Sunday through the MNF double header and it's going to go down to the wire.

And the game of the week...

Marauders (-1/2) vs. Yuengling Brewers
The Brew Crew finally picked up their first win last week and now they have to play the buzzsaw that is the Marauders. Coach Hoss's team has won 11 regular season games in a row and has scored 100+ points in 9 straight regular season games. But don't sleep on the Beermen. They're going to make it really close and we'll know a lot more after tonight's game.

Good luck this week.

3FL Standings (after S25:Week 5)

3FL Notes: S25: Week 5 Preview

All three division leaders remain undefeated after our highest scoring week so far. But there are still two teams without their first win. It was quite an interesting first set of divisional matchups!

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

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

Renegades (-1/2) vs. Dumbbums
There are no players on the 'Bums bench who can score any points (byes x4, IR x2), so it's going to be up to their current starting lineup to find some magic against the undefeated Renegades. Anything can happen, but it's not looking great.

Marauders (-1/2) vs. Lightning
Speaking of undefeated, Coach Hoss keeps winning and scoring 100+ points in the process. His team hasn't lost a regular season game since week eight of last season. But don't sleep on the Bolts. If they can get healthy they'll make this one close.

Predacons (-1) vs. Misfits, Inc
The Preds scored in the triple digits again and have won two in a row to jump up into fourth place. Now they're projected to have the highest total again, and unless FitzCorp switches out some of their injured players things could get ugly.

Baltimorons (-1/2) vs. the HAW
Getting Jayden Daniels back this week could be big for the CAPS but it might not be enough. Lots of matchups lean toward the 'Morons to help them get to 5-0. A combined four players across the pond on Sunday morning should make it fun either way.

Yuengling Brewers (-1/2) vs. Spiked Vipers
What is going on with the Brew Crew? They've had a tough start to the season but they're favored to pick up their first win against Josh Allen and SpiVi here. But that's not going to be easy, even with the Vipers' bye week and injury issues. It should be exciting in prime time.

And the game of the week...

Phys. Ed. Phenoms (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers
This should easily be our best game of the week, with starters from tonight through MNF. Last week the Stompers would have won had they swapped out their IR RB with anyone else on the roster. But the W here will likely come down to the Qs on both sides.

Good luck this week.
