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

Spiked Vipers (-1/2) vs. Predacons
SpiVi outscored everyone again last week, keeping them on track to shatter the season points record. They're actually projected for our high total again. Imagine that. The Preds will put up a fight (starting with Davante Adams tonight), but it probably won't be enough.

Marauders (-1/2) vs. Baltimorons
It's tough when your number one pick has scored only a single point through the first eight weeks of the season. But that's exactly what happened with Michael Thomas for the 'Morons. There's a chance that he's finally back for this one against Coach Hoss, and maybe that's the start of a season turnaround. Or maybe not.

Dumbbums (-1/2) vs. Yuengling Brewers
The Brew Crew is headed in the wrong direction. They've lost their last three and have dropped from the second spot all the way down to eighth in that time. They're still clinging to a playoff spot but they have to find a way to give Mahomes some support. We'll have to wait through the prime time games for the final result.

Stiletto Stompers (-1) vs. Lightning
The Bolts have been sleepwalking through the season so far and their record shows it. Although the Stompers and Lamar Jackson are somehow in the same boat. Not that they need the help, but starting a TE on the IR is not a great idea. Did you guess which team I was talking about, though?

the HAW (-1/2) vs. Phys. Ed. Phenoms
This is a matchup that currently features three RBs on IR, but one of those might flip to be the long awaited return of overall #1 pick Christian McCaffrey for the CAPS. QB performances will also be key as the score will remain tight until things are finally figured out on MNF.

And the game of the week...

Misfits, Inc. (-1/2) vs. Renegades
Last week Dalvin Cook scored 46 points while sitting on the Renegades' bench. He's in the lineup this week, but will that be enough to take down FitzCorp and halt their winning streak at six games? It's a great matchup but the WR differential might be too big for an upset.

Good luck this week.

Sunday Night: Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles
Monday Night: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ New York Giants
Bye Week: Cardinals, Jaguars, Texans, Washington Football Team

---

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

Stiletto Stompers (-1/2) vs. Baltimorons
Yes, I know that the Stompers scored 36 total points last week, but some of their week seven issues have been rectified. Like the fact that Lamar Jackson actually has a game scheduled this week. Is anyone surprised that the 'Morons have already picked up Antonio Brown? They'll put up a fight here but it's going to be tough.

Dumbbums (-1/2) vs. the HAW
The CAPS have been trending upward in the past couple weeks but things are going to be tricky against the 'Bums. Their top players are either on a bye or in jeopardy of sitting out because of injury. Meanwhile Coach Coaldog's squad is projected to score big. They'll just need a good Steelers result.

Renegades (-1/2) vs. Lightning
It's going to be a little difficult to pick a winner in this one with lots of starting roster decisions yet to be made. It really could go either way as injuries and byes are going to press down the scores for both teams. Tonight's game will be an important start to figuring out the week.

Spiked Vipers (-1/2) vs. Marauders
SpiVi was the #1 team in the standings since week one. Their loss last week dropped them out of the top spot, and the Marauders will leapfrog them this week if they can pull out a victory. It's going to be a great game between these two closely matched teams, but it's going to come down to the QB decisions and MNF.

Misfits, Inc. (-1/2) vs. Phys. Ed. Phenoms
Our defending champions are alone at the top of the league and have lost only once this season. They shouldn't sleep on the Phenoms though. They match up well this week and just might give the Corporation all they can handle, especially if Justin Herbert can continue his high flying ways.

And the game of the week...

Yuengling Brewers (-1/2) vs. Predacons
These two teams have the same record and their rosters match up evenly too. Except at QB. Cam Newton scored -4 points for the Preds last week. Even if that doesn't happen again, it might not be possible for them to keep up with the Brew Crew and Patrick Mahomes against the lowly Jets.

Happy Halloween and good luck this week!

3FL Standings (after S20:Week 7)

3FL Notes: S20: Week 7 Preview

Our lowest scoring week of the season gave us a few Prime Time comebacks and a lot of drama. Can you believe we're officially at the halfway point of this out of the ordinary season?

Make sure you keep track of the schedule this weekend. Some things have already changed, possibly in preparation for more changes.

Bye Week: Colts, Dolphins, Ravens, Vikings

---

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

the HAW (-1/2) vs. Baltimorons
Don't look now, but the 'Morons are on a two game winning streak after being winless in the first month of the season. Keeping that steak alive is going to be tough against the CAPS, especially depending on how all of the Qs end up.

Dumbbums (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers
The 'Bums scored our lowest weekly total of the season last week, putting up only 43 points on the wrong end of the Biggest Blowout. But that's unlikely to happen again. This one isn't as lopsided as it looks at the moment, because the Stompers will swap their starters who are no longer on last week's bye. Right??

Yuengling Brewers (-1/2) vs. Lightning
So far this year the Brew Crew has averaged just under 23 points per week more than the Bolts. That's almost four fantasy touchdowns. But this game will be closer than you think. Byes and Qs will add to the drama, but it will all come down to a MNF comeback by our last place team.

Marauders (-1/2) vs. Phys. Ed. Phenoms
After starting the season with a couple of losses, Coach Hoss has just won his last four straight. That could easily stretch to five after this week as the Marauders RBs lead the way. A combined six players on a bye aren't helping anyone either.

Predacons (-1/2) vs. Renegades
These teams have identical .500 records but are in opposite places in their divisional standings. That's unfortunate for the Renegades since they're the team that has scored 100+ more points so far. The Preds have not been good lately but they get a chance to right the ship with some lucky matchups. They'll just have to avoid a Prime Time comeback.

And the game of the week...

Spiked Vipers (-1/2) vs. Misfits, Inc.
1 vs. 2 in the standings (and in league scoring) will face off this week to see who will start the second half of the season on top. These teams are pretty even across the board and in the projections, but who would pick against SpiVi at this point? They're on pace to score the most points in a season in league history and are a good bet to top the century mark again.

Good luck this week.

3FL Standings (after S20:Week 6)

3FL Notes: S20: Week 6 Preview

The East swept the South last week and the Baltimorons picked up their first W of the season.

There is no Thursday game this week—it was part of the reshuffling of the schedule that happened on Sunday morning. We could be in for more of the same thing this week.

The most up to date fantasy protocols for how different NFL scenarios will affect our league are available here from Yahoo!, including waiver processing dates, COVID-IR status designations and the latest schedule changes. As that site says, 'this is and will likely be a fluid situation all season.'

Sunday Night: Los Angeles Rams @ San Francisco 49ers
Monday Early: Kansas City Chiefs @ Buffalo Bills
Monday Night: Arizona Cardinals @ Dallas Cowboys
Bye Week: Chargers, Raiders, Saints, Seahawks

---

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

Misfits, Inc. (-1/2) vs. Dumbbums
This one is really too close to call. These teams have matching 4-1 records and have scored almost exactly the same amount of points so far this season. It might come down to the 'Bums rooting for their favorite team. Or FitzCorp rooting against theirs.

Yuengling Brewers (-1) vs. Marauders
The Monday night games will decide the outcome of this one, with five combined players scheduled in those two matchups. But the biggest problem for Coach Hoss is his RB2 bye week replacement options. Oh, and also playing against Patrick Mahomes.

Spiked Vipers (-1) vs. Stiletto Stompers
SpiVi is continuing their high flying ways and despite having two starters on a bye they're still predicted to score in the 90's. The Stompers look like they'll have a harder time with their byes (and some Qs). Even Lamar Jackson won't be able to make up the difference.

the HAW (-1/2) vs. Predacons
After a tough loss last week the Preds are finally looking healthy. They'll need everyone available to have a chance against the CAPS and they'll need to choose the correct RBs too. But it could all be for nothing if Kyler Murray hits his point projection on MNF.

Renegades (-1/2) vs. Baltimorons
Coach Val's team dropped down to fifth place after their loss to SpiVi, but they're still second in league scoring. The matchups give them the slight edge this week, but the 'Morons look to have filled in their bye week gaps and are now looking to extend their one game winning streak.

And the game of the week...

Lightning (-1/2) vs. Phys. Ed. Phenoms
Our best matchup of week 6 also has serious implications down the road. The loser here is going to have a really tough time getting into the postseason after starting 1-5. It's really anyone's game and will depend on some injury designations and lineup choices.

Good luck this week.

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

Baltimorons (-1/2) vs. Predacons
The 'Morons stand alone as our last team without a win. In fact they've lost their last six straight and have the lowest scoring total in the league. But the Preds probably won't be able to field a whole team again thanks to byes and injuries. Upset special of the week.

Dumbbums (-1/2) vs. Lightning
After securing their first win the Bolts seems to be back in the mix. They match up well against the 'Bums this week, but the difference in RBs might prove to be a bit too much. Plus, Big Ben has a scheduled game (as of right now).

Marauders (-1/2) vs. the HAW
This is going to be a really close game although the individual position matchups are not really even. It's the total that will be interesting to watch. The CAPS need some players to step up because nobody on their bench is getting into a game.

Misfits, Inc. (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers
Now this game has even matchups across the board. But can Josh Allen really keep up with Lamar Jackson? Will Lamar Jackson even play? That might be the more important question.

Yuengling Brewers (-1/2) vs. Phys. Ed. Phenoms
The Brew Crew outscored everyone last week to give the high flying Vipers their first loss. Now they turn their attention to the Phenoms, who have run out of IR space. But it actually will be closer than you might think depending on how some of those Qs end up.

And the game of the week...

Spiked Vipers (-1/2) vs. Renegades
SpiVi may have picked up their first loss last week but they scored more than 100 points again and have put up 491 already this year. That's 71 more than our next highest scoring team - the Renegades. Both teams look strong this week and have games scheduled from tonight until Monday night. It should be a good one!

Good luck this week.
