Predictions and Power Rankings Week 5

Predictions and Power Rankings Week 5

Kevin Kousaie

Predictions

 

After taking the lead last week I allowed it to go to my head and struggled this week falling back into fourth place. The race is still very close, but we have a problem in that Willie is leading, so this week we need to correct that. Here are this week’s picks and like always they are in bold.

 

Division 1

 

Iron Wolves vs Centurions

I think last week they won and were short players and this week more of them show up and they manage winning back-to-back games against the Iron Wolves.

 

Trollers vs Outlaws

Trollers have always had a hard time stopping Smuda, this week they do, but that leaves Marvin and Svetna having big games.

 

Outlaws vs Gros Coqs

Willie is there subbing for Outlaws and it makes you wonder who will be missing and for that reason I have to go with Gros Coqs.

 

Division 2

 

Jagerbomb vs Marvels

Too many players missing for Jagerbomb and the key player would be QB Simon.

 

Division 3

 

Red Cats vs Double Dippers

On paper I feel that Double Dippers are the better team, but Avery has been playing great up to now and getting it done and that continues this week.

 

Pocket Rockets vs Phoenix NA

 

I don’t pick my team’s games.

 

RawSauce vs Iron Wolves

Iron Wolves have struggled this season and without Jon at QB wont stand much of a chance the rest of the way.

 

Mustard Tigers vs Bines

I think their team will show up this week and get a much needed win.

 

Division 4

 

Sooners 45 vs Iron Wolves

Too young, too fast for Iron Wolves at least this time around.

 

Les Bouchers vs The Villains 

They are loaded up and down and not many teams can match up against them and that includes Les Bouchers.

 

Udaho Idapimp vs Bines Low Fat

They get back to their winning way with David going off with at least 5 TD passes.

 

Super Friends vs Drama Club

They have more experience and with Simon at QB I know what I’m getting. With Super Friends who will be playing QB is a question id like to know the answer to.

 

Division 5

 

Kiss My Pass vs Sour Peeps

Sour Peeps are a good team and with Lesniak being hurt last week who knows if he will play this week.

 

My Ball Zach Ertz vs Legendaries

They figure out how to stop Luca from running and their defense gets 3 picks, with a pick 6 to seal the game.

 

Chili Hotdogs vs Improbables

Etienne figured out last week he can run and this week Improbables have a hard time stopping him from doing it again.

 

Weekend Warriors vs Mimosa Crew (Upset Special)

Mimosa Crew have a great team and on paper they are the better team. Except when you consider Jeremy plays this week and connects with Elijah for 3 TDs.

 

Titans vs Tropic Thunder

Tropic Thunder are the better team, but Robert has Ben to throw to and no one in D5 can stop him from going for a TD at any point.

 

Bear Hood vs Los Politos

They will stop Samuel on offense and Simon will stay away from him on defense.

 

There you have it this week’s picks. I’ll need some help so that Willie doesn’t build a bigger lead since we just bet a pizza that he won’t win it all and if I beat him, he doesn’t get pizza for 2 weeks. Now help me out so Willie doesn’t get fat like me. Thanks and good luck.

 

Power Rankings

 

After another wild week of games this week’s rankings are going to look a little different.

 

Division 1

1- Gros Coqs

2- Trollers

3- Outlaws

 

Division 2

1- Thunder Buddies

2- Nice TDs

3- Idaho Udapimp  

 

Division 3

1- Average Joes

2- Red Cats

3- RawSauce

 

Division 4

1- Villains

2- Bines

3- Sooners 45

 

Division 5

1- Sour Peeps

2- Bear Hood

3- Mimosa Crew

 

After last week this is how the ranking are heading into week 6. Are they going to stay this way? Probably not, but you’ll have to come back next week and find out.

 

Final Thoughts

 

I had a big thing written on what’s acceptable at the park and what’s not, but then I saw something on Instagram and felt it was better to remind everyone that better days are ahead of us. Here is a reminder of what we have to look forward to. There are only:

 

- 74 more days until College football starts.

 

- 86 until NFL season (not preseason) because no one care about that.

 

- 120 days until meaningful baseball playoffs.

 

- 127 days until all you bucket heads get the NBA back.

 

- 149 days until College Basketball is back, but all anyone cares about is the tournament.

 

I know that we can all tune in to watch the CFL which just started last week, but its not the same. I personally don’t mind watching the CFL, I just hate games where it’s 2 plays and punt and each team has 8 possessions in the first quarter for a total of 50 yards. When teams are moving the ball up and down the field the CFL game is way faster and more entertaining to watch. Yes, there are bigger plays in the NFL, but the game is played at a much slower pace.

We all know Florida is a messed-up place, but you have to feel a bit bad for them losing 2 titles in 2 nights. The Heat lost to the Nuggets which I told you would happen in the NBA and the the Panthers lost to the Golden Knights in the NHL. I did gain some respect for one player when he came out and said he doesn’t care about the HOF and that winning is all that matter. That’s not exactly what Jimmy Butler said, but it was along those lines.

Weekly reminder time, we are playing a game, so go out, have fun, and try not to kill anyone. 

Word from the Mouth: 5 Picks! edition

Word from the Mouth: 5 Picks! edition

Kevin Kousaie

This past weekend could have been really gummie bear’d up if people didn’t like me. When arriving on Saturday morning there were people from the city of Verdun about to set up on the football field because they had rented it for a city function. I was able to get ahold of Jon to send me the contract with the city and show that we had it rented. They showed me their contract and after a few minutes of talking and seeing what could be done I was able to convince them to use the baseball field since they didn’t need such a large area and we had more people coming. It ended up working out in the end, but would have been most uncool to set up on baseball fields. In the past we have done that, but that wouldn’t have worked this week since two of them were being used for baseball.

It was hot this week and I’m really praying for lots of rain this week. Walking 25 kms on what seems like concrete all day isn’t good. I’m old, fat, and my ankles and knees are finished. It’s calling for rain all week and Saturday as well, so you know what that means, 40 degrees, no clouds, no breeze, and 120% humidity when it’s time to play.

 

Week 5 Recap

 

Division 1

 

Outlaws vs Gros Coqs (14-32)

I feel bad for everyone who is now playing on D1, as Gros Coqs just got a lot better with Alexandre Bresse coming back from Spain after 3 years off. All he did this week was score 2 TDs on 4 catches totaling 96 yards as well as a 1-point convert. At times in this game both teams struggled to move the ball and their defenses stepped up huge. Smuda made a huge interception after an Outlaws TD and it could have been the difference maker in the game, but Outlaws got inside the redzone and on fourth down Svetna caught the ball on his toes, but the side of his foot came down on the line, ruled no catch. Tommy, who we all know for being a great rusher, had 3 picks on Steve with the last one being one-handed. The Outlaws offense looked off and need to figure it out if they want to get back on top again.

 

Division 2

 

Idaho Udapimp vs Spritz Gang (43-7)

There was lots of talking going on in this game and both teams were given warning, but this was never a game and wasn’t going to be one. Idaho was missing lots of players and so was Spritz Gang. JS wasn’t there so Jocelyn was QB. He can play QB in D5, but not in D2 as the players are so much better and it showed as he struggled all day long. Marvin had a decent game getting 9 catches for 59 yards and he even made a pick on defense. There were a few times he was looking for a call, but for me it didn’t seem like it needed a flag. A few of those times the defender had inside position and that’s where the ball was heading, this means the defender has the right and position on the ball. We all knew Manu Allard was a stud, but the game he had was ridiculous. Manu made 7 catches for 76 yards and 3 TDs. Where he really shined was rushing making 3 tackles, 2 being sacks and getting a pick as well. This would have been more of a game if Spritz Gang had JS. Maybe they don’t win, but it’s a lot closer.

 

Division 3

Phoenix vs RawSauce (21-26)

I’m not sure what I should say about this game. I personally stunk throwing 5 picks. I started the game the same way I ended it, with a pick. Before the game I didn’t think Ludovic or Gabriel were there for them and after hearing about their D4 game I was thinking it would be an easy win. They both showed up. Ludovic picked us apart for the first half and their first drive of the second half Phoenix couldn’t figure it out on defense. Once I figured out that I was able to run and make things happen the Phoenix offense started to move the ball and creep back into the game.  Marc-Antoine Lamarre was all over the place on defense getting 3 picks and one of them I don’t even think he knew he picked the ball off as he put his hand up to block it and it fell right down into his other arm that was reaching for a tackle. The one play in this game that would have made the difference for Phoenix was right before half with 2 plays left, I hung a ball up to Khalil and it would have been a TD if it was a better ball. Still at the end of the game RawSauce gave us a chance to win when Ludovic went for it on fourth down and hit his receiver in the chest and it fell incomplete. Looked like Phoenix had a shot, but miscommunication between players led to wrong routes and my final pick of the game. Do I feel bad we lost? Yes of course, but I feel worse for RawSauce for the game even being this close.

 

Division 4

 

I didn’t see any games but wanted to make a few call out and points.

 

Villians

A few weeks back they were getting killed in D3 and now they look like the favorite to win it all in D4, oh how the tides have turned.

 

Cyclones

What is going on with this team. Marco doesn’t seem to be the answer at QB, Alex is by far their best receiver and has also been playing QB, then you have Nick who got them their only win while playing QB. They need to start looking to the future and pick who their QB is moving forward and ride with that player.

 

Drama Club

Has a new secret weapon and her name is Jeanne Lewis. The last few weeks she has really stepped up her game and become a target Simon can count on to catch the ball and make yards after.

 

Black Diamonds

I picked them to go 3-7 at the beginning of the year and at this point that might seem high, but also something they would be happy with see how the season has gone up until now.

 

Division 5

 

Phoenix vs Jungle Squad (40-12)

Before the season started these 2 teams scrimmaged against one another and from then to now this team has improved drastically. They have a better understanding of the game they have a few players that are good athletes, and they have this guy named Michel Gémieux who is going to be a great player in this league. He is fast, has an eye for the ball, his one downfall is that he needs to know where the sideline is because more than once he had yards to gain but stepped out. Their QB Julien Suprenant had a bit of trouble dealing with Kenny the rusher from Phoenix who happens to be tall and very fast, but also can make good hard cuts. First half of the game everything was working for Phoenix as anything we did got us yards and kept the chains moving. Kat is keeping the family name relevant in the league. She scored 1 TD and 3 1-point converts this weekend and on one of those converts she made it look easy on a very bad throw by me where she was able catch the ball and keep her feet in when I thought it was uncatchable. At half it was 34-6 so in the second half Phoenix was getting everyone involved and tried to get everyone a TD even when they were tripled covered and there was very little chance to make a play.

 

Big Booties vs Improbables (18-19)

We can’t tell you how important converts are until you play in a game like this. From watching this game both teams took a long time to warm up and get things going. You know the thing that was great about this game was when Lianne Deguire made her first catch ever in the league and Big Booties all cheered, now that’s what D5 is about. Alex and Gold were the main targets for Matt catching 18 of his 24 completions and getting all 3 TDs for them. What turned out to be the deciding factor in the game was after Improbables first TD the convert for JP who was wide open all alone. Late in the game needing a score it became a Josh and Max show. Josh would run to get big yards then look for Max then run again, and it did work. They scored and needed the convert to tie it up, can’t remember if they went for 1 or 2, but either way it was no good leaving 4 minutes on the clock. It was time for Big Booties to get a stop, leave some time and have a chance to win it. They couldn’t stop Matt and his offense which was just trying to chew the clock and get a few first downs to end the game. Matt was smart with the ball and only made safe throws and the game ended on Matt running for 6 yards and Big Booties being out of timeouts.

 

Studs & Duds

 

It really seems like everyone is trying to make my list with the way they have been playing these last few weeks. Here are the names of this week’s winners who are added to the list.

 

Studs

Division 1

- Xavier Collette was a one-man wrecking crew this week getting 26 of his teams 28 points. As well as making 5 tackles and getting 2 picks.

 

Division 2

- Craig O’Brien was finally able to get rid of that goose egg in the W column, throwing 7 TD and only 8 incomplete passes.

 

Division 3

- Alexandre Szaplipski averaged 20 yards a catch this week. Out of the 9 he caught he scored 4 times.

 

Division 4

- Jeanne Lewis lead the team with 3 TDs, yards with 45 and was tied for the lead with 1 pick this week. Simon might have a new favorite target moving forward.

 

Division 5

- Étienne Simard might not have had a great day through the Air but running for 4 TDs and over 100 yards in a game is not something you see every day.

 

Duds

 

Division 1

- Stephen Harripersaud having 2 TDs to 4 picks, those are my type numbers and we all know you can do better than that.

 

Division 2

- Tyler Znoj for only managing 1 sack on a QB that sits in the pocket and doesn’t really run around.

 

Division 3

- Kevin Kousaie for throwing 5 picks, started the game and end it with one.

 

Division 4

- Greg D'Alesio opened the game with a 4-yard catch and ended the game with 6 yards total and no sacks. The Greg I know is way better than that.

 

Division 5

- Josh Levine because when the game is on the line it was a Max and Josh show and not using the rest of the team isn’t cool, its D5.

 

There you have it week 5 winners and losers. I had a few difficult choses to make but, in some case, it was easy. Moving forward if you want to make my list pick it you and show me that I must have you on my list.

 

That’s all I have for you this week if you want more MFL news look for Terry, Willie and Jaf on Wednesday night and for Brossard look for Matt and his guest on, I want to say, Thursday night.

Thanks for reading and see you all Saturday.

Predictions and Power Rankings Week 4

Predictions and Power Rankings Week 4

Kevin Kousaie

Predictions

I hate to rub it in the media teams faces, but looks at who’s in first place after 4 weeks. I really thought it was going to take longer to get up there since I was more than 5% down after week 1. Last week I went 12 of 20 and now have a .7% lead over Willie. I know it’s not much, but you all saw Willie trying to figure out what a Phoenix was and how an Iron Wolf is stronger and winning then saw the results. I’m more worried about Matt’s 2-year-old then I am of Willie.

Now to this week’s picks and like always my picks are in bold.

 

Division 1

 

Outlaws vs Gros Coqs

I think Marvin shows up in this game and proves he isn’t a dud and last week was just an off game.

 

Iron Wolves vs Centurions

The 2 weeks off for Centurions hurts them as they will be rusty early, and Iron Wolves will jump out to an early lead.

 

Gros Coqs vs Iron Wolves

There is no way Dom and his team go 0-2 this weekend.

 

Division 2

 

Nice TDs vs Jagerbomb

They are just too strong for Jagerbomb.

 

Master Chiefs vs Pocket Rockets

They have to win a game eventually and going 0-4 almost guarantees them out of playoffs.

 

Idaho Udapimp vs Spritz Gang

Too many players missing for Idaho and Spritz Gang has been playing well this season.

 

Division 3

 

Red Cats vs Pocket Rockets

They are loaded and have studs all over the field.

 

Iron Wolves vs Double Dippers

Not knowing who is playing QB for Iron Wolves was my deciding factor.

 

Average Joes vs Douilles Molasses

They are too strong, and Jason is playing great this season.

 

Phoenix vs RawSauce NA

I don’t pick my team’s games.

 

Division 4

 

Iron Wolves vs Airborne

They have the better roster.

 

Udaho Idapimp vs Villains

They have better chemistry.

 

Les Bouchers vs Cyclones

They have the best player on the field with Alex.

 

Drama Club vs RawSauce

Drama Club has been playing well, but haven’t gotten the breaks they need and this won’t matter this week.

 

Sooners 45 vs Black Diamonds

No one on black Diamonds will be able to stop Diego.

 

Division 5

 

Tropic Thunder vs Chili Hot Dogs

Tropic Thunder are stacked and the better team in this game.

 

Jungle Squad vs Phoenix NA

I don’t pick my team’s games.

 

Big Booties vs Improbables

Josh is playing good (ed’s note: ugh) now and Max balling out on defense is what puts them over the top.

 

Bear Hood vs Weekend Warriors

I’m not sure Jeremy will be there playing this week and that won’t make the difference because Bear Hood is loaded.

 

Kiss My Pass vs Mimosa Crew

They are playing very well this season and should be able to rebound after last week.

 

There you have it, my picks for week 5.

 

Power Rankings

It’s that time where you get to see if I think your team is good enough to make my top 3. Here are this week’s rankings.

 

Division 1

1- Outlaws

2- Trollers

3- Gros Coqs

 

Division 2

1- Thunder Buddies

2- Nice TDs

3- Jagerbomb 

 

Division 3

1- Average Joes

2- Red Cats

3- Pocket Rockets

 

Division 4

1- Udaho Idapimp

2- Bines

3- Villains

 

Division 5

1- Sour Peeps

2- Tropic Thunder

3- Bear Hood

 

There you have it. Things are starting to settle, and you are starting to see who the teams are my favorites.

 

Final Thoughts

 

Big shout out to Terry for not losing it on Jaf and Will while filming the Podcast, since they both seem lost and have no clue what they are talking about. Terry, you need a mute button for those two clowns. It would make your job easier.

It looks like the city is finally getting things done with the field and painted new lines at Le Ber and they are getting the field lines painted at Arthur Therrien so that we can set up 2 fields side by side like last season.

Hope all the rain we are supposed to get turns the field green, because as the weeks have gone by the grass has been turning yellow and like hay.

 

That is all I have, so remember that we are playing a game, so go out have fun and enjoy yourself.

Word from the Mouth: The Commish is out of Commish! edition

Word from the Mouth: The Commish is out of Commish! edition

Kevin Kousaie

There is some sad sad news this week in the MFL, Jon is forced to retire as a QB. The reason given for the retirement is the arm just can’t take it anymore, but we all know the truth, going 0-2 all time as a QB against me he can’t hold his head up in the huddle anymore and have his team believe he can get it done. Jon losing a second time to me still isn’t as bad as being a Cowboys fan though.

Saturday marked 10000 days since they last appeared in the NFC championship game and yet somehow, they are still called America’s team. What’s the sadder news Jon or the Cowboys?

This weekend was nice weather to play in as the day went along. Games at 9:30 had to deal with the wind and some people thought it was cold, but late in the day it was still windy, but not nearly as bad and the sun was shining so it was great.

 

Week 4 Recap

 

Division 1

 

Outlaws vs Iron Wolves (34-32)

This one turned out closer than I expected. Tyler was all over Demario in this game collecting 5 sacks which is fantastic, but I want to point out Demario is hurt and cant move very well right now. Svetna had a good game filling the stat sheet, all game he was reading Demario’s eyes and kept getting beat on defense because he was cheating and late in the game Demario didn’t look him off and Svetna picked it off and ran it in for 6. Meis was a beast for Iron Wolves all game except one play there was miscommunication between him and Demario. Meis was wide open 30 yards down field Demario was moving around, Meis stopped in the hole and Demario launches 10 yards past where Meis was standing. One play that no one will talk about is the pick by Christian with the score 32-28 Iron Wolves they had the chance to go up 2 scores, but weren’t able to capitalize on it and let Outlaws stay in the game. After that is when Svetna got his pick 6 and put Outlaws up and secured the win for them.

 

Division 2

 

Marvels vs Nice TDs (38-26)

After struggling his first time out this season Iggy looked like he did in the past and had no problems moving the ball and scoring in the first half. In the second half Nice TDs woke up and started playing better on offense matching scores, The issue for Nice TDs was their defense looked like Swiss cheese, there were holes everywhere and Iggy made them pay by scoring on them every time he touched the ball. The player that keeps surprising me each week is Mikelis Rogers as whenever a play needs to be made, he is right there making it. He reminds me of a younger Kevin Smuda, this is a player to watch out for. Here is the play that caused a fuss for Nice TDs. Very late in the game on fourth down Max has the ball down on ground he picks it up and goes and talks to Iggy, comes backs set the ball and snaps it. Iggy throws it to Mikelis for the 11 yards TD and then they get the convert to seal the game. Kris is arguing that it’s a penalty and should be a turnover since it was fourth down. Max never made a snapping like motion and picked the ball up directly, this was not a penalty and the game ended like that. Even if it was a penalty, it would have been a 5 yard procedure penalty and Marvels would still have the ball and fourth down.

 

Division 3

 

Iron Wolves vs Phoenix (12-19)

This game went by fast. The first half both teams only had 2 possessions. Jon opened the game with the ball and put a nice long drive together before Cory picked him off in the endzone. Going into the wind to start the game Phoenix put a 14 play drive together to open the scoring. It didn’t take long for Jon to come right back down to score, after missing convert it was 7-6 Phoenix. I strawberry shortcaked twice in this game by not managing the clock. The first time was with 30 seconds left calling a timeout on fourth down thinking it was third, this resulted in Phoenix turning the ball over and giving Iron Wolves a shot to take the lead before half. After gaining yards on their first play Jon took a shot to the endzone where it was picked off by Justin. This left time for a few plays. But nothing was there so the score was 7-6 at half. Phoenix opened the second half with the ball and were able to score because Cory made a great adjustment on the ball and pulled it in with 1 hand. Just like the first half Jon picked the defense apart and scored without much trouble. After stopping Phoenix and getting the ball back Jon just got out of endzone to avoid the safety. Two plays later Iggy had a step on JF going deep as the ball was coming in the wind took it and Iggy just missed making the adjustment and the ball was incomplete. Phoenix moved the ball all the way down the field and were put in a third and half a yard just outside redzone. All game long Kris was yelling at Carlos to stop jumping and go after the flag. Carlos jumped as I rolled out to the left Kris came up to make the tackle, I pumped he jumped, and I walked in for the score. That was the second time I shortcaked as all I had to do was not score and the game was over. Iron Wolves started to drive and Jon’s arm gave out and Lesniak went QB for the last few plays of the game. On the final play, Alex got the ball as a halfback and threw it to Lesniak who caught the ball but was falling into the endzone, which meant he was down on the 1 yard line and the game was over.

 

Average Joes vs Bines (33-32)

What a game this turned out to be. Joes dominated early and looked to run away with it being up 19-0 less than 10 minutes into the game. Bines fought back with Thomas Cote-Parent looking unstoppable catching balls and making defenders miss tackles. Very late in the game Bines were down and driving. David found Thomas for a TD giving them a 5-point lead. They decided to go for 1 and once again David hooked up with Thomas to make it a 6-point game with 38 seconds left. It doesn’t seem like a lot of time but when you have all 3-time outs there is no need to rush. Jason hit Oliver for 15 yards then Flood for 25 putting the ball on the 1-yard line and the last play of the game. Jason looks left comes back right to find Geoffrey for the score. On the convert Jason found a wide-open Flood in the middle of the end zone for the win. I will tell you that Average Joes wouldn’t have needed to score at the end if Oliver had caught the deep ball Jason threw to him earlier. Since he dropped the pass, he owed Jason 45 pushups after the game. I’ve never seen someone sprint that fast after a game in my life. Oliver you still owe those 45 pushups before you’re allowed back out on the field.

 

Division 4

 

Drama Club vs Bines Low Fat (13-19)

I felt bad for Simon in this game, his team dropped at least 8 passes that were easily catchable and at least 2 TDs. The biggest play on offense for Drama Club was a short pass caught by Jeanne Lewis who took it all the way for a 40-yard TD and her first on the year. Remi had a big day on defense getting 2 picks. One was thrown right to him but, the other he ran from the other side of the field and plucked it from right in front of the receivers’ hands. Thomas Cote-Parent scored from 10, 17 and 30 yards out to get all the TDs for Bines Low Fat. Even with all the drops and miscues, Drama Club was still up late in the game, but allowed Bines Low Fat to score leaving time for a few plays. Simon knew he had plenty of time to march the field so on first down threw a check down to Roxanne who caught it inches from the ground for 9 yards, then hit her again for on the same play for 8 yards. The defense wised up and took the quick throw away which left Nico open for 10 yards. Simon now had time for 2 plays. First was incomplete and on the last play he threw it towards the endzone where it was knocked away by David and the game was done just like that.

 

Division 5

 

Phoenix vs Weekend Warriors (27-20)

I was really looked forward to this game knowing I was going up against Jeremy. I found out earlier in the day that Jeremy was banged up and not sure he was going to play. Jeremy did play, at least at first and only QB. First half of the game was easy for Phoenix as we were able to move the ball and make plays and score. Once Goldrick went QB for Weekend Warriors our job got a lot more difficult. Gold could run and was able to find players open most of the time. At half both teams made a few adjustments, and the second half wasn’t very exciting. Phoenix was only 6 players, and you could tell they weren’t running good routes, QB was missing easy throws, balls were getting dropped. Marcel Jovani had a good game with 1 TD and 2 picks. The players who impressed me the most in this game were Sandrine from Weekend Warriors as she caught everything thrown her way and made it tough on the defense. For Phoenix it was Chrissy, not for her 5 tackles or scoring on a convert, but for holding her own in the middle against a player almost twice as big. Then we have Kat who rushed most of the game and ended up getting a sack, but then when needing a break from rushing got a pick as well.

 

There you have this weeks recaps.

Predictions

 

It’s that time of the week where I get to pick this week’s winners. After last week going 14 of 21 it’s an improvement and will help me creep up slowly. Still waiting on the new crystal ball, so ill be using Marvin’s head. It seems to be working. Here are my picks and like always they are in bold.

 

Division 1

 

Gros Coqs vs Trollers

Gros Coqs are missing players this week plus Trollers will be a full roster and I assume Max is back under center.

 

Iron Wolves vs Outlaws

Steve will get the job done on offense, but it’s the defense that will step up and get 2 picks and 3 sacks if not more.

 

Division 2

 

Master Chiefs vs Nice TDs

Master Chiefs havens shown they can stop anyone on defense and Nice TDs are loaded.

 

Pocket Rockets vs Idaho Udapimp

Not sure who will play QB for Idaho, so I cant pick them to win.

 

Nice TDs vs Marvels

They are loaded.

 

Thunder Buddies vs Spritz Gang

Steve won’t play defense this time and will put up 60 easily before letting off the gas a little.

 

Division 3

 

Mustard Tigers vs Pocket Rockets

With Phil and Will both being there for Pocket Rockets I can’t see Mustard Tigers being able to stop both of them.

 

Iron Wolves vs Phoenix NA

I don’t pick my team’s games.

 

RawSauce vs Double Dippers

They have the better athletes.

 

Douilles Molasses vs Iron Wolves

Not sure who is playing QB for Iron Wolves, so I cant pick them to win.

 

Bines vs Average Joes

With the players Joes are missing it will be a tough one for them to win especially when the entire Bines roster shows up.

 

Division 4

 

Villains vs Super Friends

Just have a feeling since they moved down to D4 that they start racking up the wins.

 

RawSauce vs Airborne

They have the better QB with Guillaume.

 

Bines Low Fat vs Drama Club

I don’t have any confidence in Drama Club right now.

 

Division 5

 

Legendaries vs Bear Hood

This team is stacked.

 

Improbables vs Jungle Squad

Matt has more experience, and his team isn’t half bad.

 

Sour Peeps vs Los Politos

With the roster they have stopping Sam shouldn’t be much of an issue.

 

Phoenix vs Weekend Warriors NA

I don’t pick my teams games.

 

Tropic Thunder vs Bear Hood

I think Bear hood have the better roster, but it will be a close game.

 

Mimosa Crew vs Big Booties

Current is playing well right now and has a very good team around him.

 

Legendaries vs Chili Hotdogs

There are too many good players on this team to not get the W this week.

 

My Ball Zach Ertz vs Kiss My Pass

I just don’t see how KMP stops or even slows down Luca in this game.

 

There you have it my picks for week 4. Good luck to everyone but more so to the teams I picked.

Final Thoughts

 

Miami was able to pull it out in game 7 and make it to the finals where they will lose to the Nuggets, Yes, I said it Willie and Andrew. Look, everyone prefers Nuggets over the Heat any day of the week.

The NFL season is less than 100 days away and I saw something interesting the other day. NFL leaked the next 5 Super Bowl winners and the scores. It would be very interesting to see if that comes true. Barbara will be happy if it is, at least this season.

This week make sure you drink plenty of water, wear sunscreen and a hat, its going to be a hot one (ed’s note: it isn’t).

Last thing before I let you go, when you’re out there playing remember it’s a game so have fun and don’t kill anyone going for the ball. Nico that was for you. Have a great rest of the week and see you all Saturday.
