Week 3 Recap

Good week! Mainly because I finally got a W. The Burg YUH8ME how's last place taste? Here we go...

No Pryors vs. The trap birdsinthekitch - No Pryors won 98 to 85. Not much to talk about here. The trap could have played Drew Brees and scored 12 more points. I got my first win. That took too long, but now lets keep it rolling.

Child Please vs. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - Child Please won 99.8 to 97.7. This got pretty interesting as it turned into a battle between Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas on Monday night, but trading for Demarco Murray really helped Child Please escape this one with a victory.

Chocolate Starfish vs. TP CharlieSheening - Chocolate Starfish won 117.1 to 84.6. TP's whole team had bad matchups like I said they would. Better luck next week..... NOT!

The Burg YUH8ME vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers - Red Hot Julius Peppers won 99.1 to 76.9. Takes more than 2 players to win a matchup. Red Hot Julius Peppers just had to fill a lineup with active players to win this one.

The Blackhole Black vs. Coples Therapy - The Blackhole Black won 82.5 to 72.5. This matchup really came down to a horrible decision by Coples Therapy starting Carson Palmer over Cam Newton. But kudos to The Blackhole Black pulling out a W on a week where she was scrutinized for trading for RG3.

Back Pats:
No Pryors and Red Hot Julius Peppers getting W's finally.

Child Please trading for Demarco Murray (31.3 points)

C'Mon Man:
Coples Therapy - Cam Newton's 35.4 to Carson Palmer's 3.5. You were only 1 decimal place off. Hahaaaa

There really should only be 1 C'Mon Man this week but...
The Burg YUH8ME - After scoring 151 in week 1 you're averaging 82.15 points per game. And you have a bench full of players that can't get healthy enough to get on the field. Hope you're rethinking this hoarding strategy....

Bold Predictions:
I went 3-2 this week. Thanks to reverse psychology. That makes me 9-6 on the year. (1-0 on UPSET SPECIALS)

TP CharlieSheening vs. No Pryors -  ***UPSET SPECIAL*** Back to Back upset specials. ARodg on bye and those receivers once again have tough matchups. Time for me to hit my stride.

The Burg YUH8ME vs. Chocolate Starfish - Chocolate Starfish just has better matchups; Peyton vs. Philly (look out for 60), Trent Richardson vs. Jax and Frank Gore vs. Stl. Chocolate Starfish wins.

Sauce'n Ain't Easy vs. The trap birdsinthekitch - Kaepernick gotta bounce back some time... right? Sauce'n Ain't Easy wins.

Child Please vs. The Blackhole Black - This one could go 2 ways. Its either gonna be a close Blackhole Black win or a Child Please blowout. I think Child Please wins.

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. Coples Therapy - Coples Therapy is going to struggle this week. Red Hot Julius Peppers wins.

Week 2 Recap

No Pryors vas. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - Sauce'n Ain't Easy won 87 to 84.6. I lost this one trying to experiment with marginal players against good match ups. Bad move… Jamaal Charles, Dwayne Bowe and Sam Bradford should have never left my starting lineup…

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. TP CharlieSheening - TP CharlieSheening won 169.2 to 129.4. TP CharlieSheening is off to a blazing fast start. Aaron Rodgers and Those receivers are killing it. 

Coples Therapy vs. Child Please - Coples Therapy won 152.7 to 81.3. After a big game last week scoring the most points, Child Please comes back down to the pack scoring the least amount of points this week. Still early but Coples Therapy is the strongest team in his division.

The trap birdsinthekitch vs. Chocolate Starfish - The trap birdsinthekitch won 115.5 to 104.1. Seahawks D scores over 20 against the 49ers. Look out!

The Blackhole Black vs. The Burg YUH8ME - The Blackhole Black won 111.4 to 86.3. After nearly coming back to beat Child Please from down 60 last week The Burg YUH8ME shows his true colors. 2 man show. Better find some help.

BackPats:
TP CharlieSheening - Aaron Rodgers (47.9), Desean Jackson (30.3), and Julio Jones (29.2). Basically won his matchup with 4 guys.

Coples Therapy - Jimmy Graham (28.9), Randall Cobb (24.2), and Brandon Marshall (22.3).

These two have some amazing receiving units.

C'MonMan:
No Pryors - I'm done experimenting.

Child Please - First to worst (score for the week)

The Burg YUH8ME - You need more than McCoy and Vick.

BoldPredictions:
I went 3-2 this week which makes me 6-4 on the season.

The trap birdsinthekitch vs. No Pryors - Its a little early for this but lets try the reverse jinx. The trap birdsinthekitch wins.

Child Please vs. Sauce'n Aint Easy - Marshawn Lynch could go nuts against Jacksonville, but Child Please still wins.

Chocolate Starfish vs. TP CharlieSheening - ***UPSET SPECIAL*** Those receivers all have tough match ups this week. Chocolate Starfish wins.

The Burg YUH8ME vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers - Lots of red letters beside The Burg YUH8ME's players. Red Hot Julius Peppers wins.

The Blackhole Black vs. Coples Therapy - This is for outright control of the Pimps division. The Blackhole Black has a key injury, a bad trade, and a struggling QB. Coples Therapy wins.

Week 1 Recap

Coples Therapy vs. No Pryors - Coples Therapy won 103.9 to 101.9. Coples Therapy's wide receivers lead him to victory this week. Meanwhile, my running backs have fumbling problems (Alfred Morris, Stevan Ridley, and David Wilson).

TP CharlieSheening vs. The trap birdsinthekitch - TP CharlieSheening won 142 to 95.3. TP CharlieSheening just had a great weekend. His bench would have won this game with only 6 players. Look out!

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. The Blackhole Black - The Blackhole Black won 106.6 to 94.9. Red Hot Julius Peppers got off to a fast start on Thursday night but his wide receivers let him down on Sunday. I'm still not sold on The Blackhole Black. She started a player that put up 0 and had it not been for Victor Cruz scoring 3 TDs she probably would have lost.

Sauce'n Ain't Easy vs. Chocolate Starfish - Chocolate Starfish won 136 to 115. Peyton Manning's Thursday night performance pretty much sealed this win for Chocolate Starfish, but Sauce'n Ain't Easy had some good performers on Sunday and Monday. 

Child Please vs. The Burg YUH8ME - Child Please won 155.5 to 151. Child Please ended Sunday with a comfortable 64 point lead only to nervously watch Michael Vick and Lesean McCoy slash it down to 4. 

Three teams scored over 140 while the rest of us hovered around 100. Some of us have some work to do.

BackPats:
Chocolate Startfish: Peyton Manning - 65.3 points on Thursday night. The most points scored in our league by a single player beating Mike Vick who broke my back with 62 in 2010.

Sauce'n Ain't Easy: Colin Kaepernick - 400 yards and 3 TDs (41.7 points)

The Blackhole Black: Victor Cruz - 100 Yards and 3 TDs (34.8 Points)

Child Please: AJ Green and Demaryius Thomas (33 points each)

The Burg YUH8ME: Lesean McCoy and Reggie Bush (30 points each)

C'MonMan:
Red Hot Julius Peppers left Jared Cook and his 29.1 points on the bench which could have helped him to a victory.

No Pryors... Fumbling, bumbling, stumbling and did I mention fumbling? Fumbles by both Stevan Ridley and Alfred Morris cost me at least a tie and not to mention leaving Jordan Cameron on the bench with 21.8 points. 

BoldPredictions:
Last week I went 3-2 in my picks. Decent start. 

No Pryors vs. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - 49ers play the Seahawks and I'm expecting a defensive showdown. That means not Kaepernicking and no beast mode. No Pryors wins.

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. TP CharlieSheening - This one could be close but I'm going with TP CharlieSheening.

Coples Therapy vs. Child Please - Child Please's lack of a #2 RB and Coples Therapy's WR strength carry him to victory. Coples Therapy wins.

The trap birdsinthekitch vs. Chocolate Starfish - Chocolate Starfish has some bad matchups this week. The trap birdsinthekitch wins.

The Blackhole Black vs. The Burg YUH8ME - Kinda early to have this same household rivalry but the Eagles play the Chargers who showed no backbone on defense. The Burg YUH8ME wins.

6. Coples Therapy

After doing this write up I believe Red Hot Julius Peppers will be crowned the champ this season.

This Week:
Coples Therapy vs. No Pryors - No Pryors wins, for obvious reasons.

TP CharlieSheenig vs The trap birdsinthekitch - This game is a toss up. Both teams have tough matchups, but until birdsinthekitch shows he knows how to manange a team I can’t pick him. TP CharlieSheening wins.

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. The Blackhole Black - Despite relying on a bunch of Broncos, I believe Red Hot Julius Peppers wins this matchup.

Sauce’n Ain’t Easy vs. Chocolate Starfish - Starfish has got better matchups across the board. Starfish wins.

Child Please vs. The Burg YUH8ME - This game has the largest point spread of week 1. Child Please will win.

Power Rankings:
(Based on PreSeason Projections)
1. Red Hot Julius Peppers
