Smooth Moves by NewEngland Deflators

  • Reading this matchup recap is indicative of potential Toyota Hall of Famers. You’re making NewEngland Deflators look really good right now.
  • When is Marcus Mariota going to get some respect from the projections? He ranked ninth in the league in scoring with 25.64 points against a projected 19.75 and has now overachieved in five straight games.
  • We won’t judge you if you want to bow to LeSean McCoy. He ranked fourth in the league in scoring with 31.37 points.
  • Sat TE Jack Doyle on the bench, where he had the lowest TE score on the team with 1.67 points.
  • Do you put a LB or DB on him? You might have to put both on him if this continues. Coby Fleener scored 3.93 points to rank fifth among TEs in the league this week.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

  • Sometimes 73.49 is enough. Unfortunately, the Toyota Hall of Fame has confirmed this time it’s a smaller number than 102.77.
  • Rock Crushers left the 24.20 points scored by Michael Thomas on the bench this week. He beat his projected point total by 292.2%, the third-highest percentage in the league.
  • All that glitters is not gold. Picked up Chris Boswell, who scored 4.00 points against his projected 11.77.
  • Rock Crushers had 8 starters fail to reach their projections.
  • A heated blanket would be a great gift for Greg Olsen during this cold streak. He scored below his projection in three straight games after scoring 3.00 points against a projected 8.30 this week.

  • NewEngland Deflators would have beaten four other teams besides Rock Crushers this week.

  • The loss snapped a three-game win streak by Rock Crushers.

Hulk Smash Grinds Out Victory over Georgia Bullies, Remains Unbeaten in Series

Hulk Smash stays unbeaten in two matchups against Georgia Bullies, and they make it interesting this time with a final score of 95.04 to 93.43. David Johnson put up 23.67 points and was out there putting on a show. It was a letdown compared to his 41.57 points in the last matchup with Georgia Bullies. It could have gone the other way, as Georgia Bullies had a starter score zero points (the Dallas Cowboys Defense). Hulk Smash won 132.43 to 101.61 in Week 5, and now has a 16.22-point average margin of victory over Georgia Bullies.

Smooth Moves by Hulk Smash

  • Reading this matchup recap is indicative of potential Toyota Hall of Famers. You’re making Hulk Smash look really good right now.
  • Best in the world: Jordan Reed can claim that at least for one week after his 18.33 point performance. It was highest score for any TE this week, as well as the eighth-highest TE score in the league this season.
  • Was wise to sit the Los Angeles Rams Defense this week, which had 2.00 points, the lowest DEF score on the team.
  • Benched RB LeGarrette Blount, who scored fewer points than any RB in the starting lineup with 6.70.
  • The 23.67 points scored by David Johnson was the fourth-highest score of any RB in the league this week.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

  • Don’t worry, Georgia Bullies, the Toyota Hall of Fame says losing isn’t contagious. But it is embarrassing. And you should be embarrassed.
  • This is one of those mistakes that you continuously think about for ten years. Did not start Eli Manning, who scored 24.56 points to rank 10th in the league in scoring.
  • Theo Riddick has now failed to reach his projection for three straight games. This week he scored 5.37 points versus a projected 9.39.
  • This is how people lose everything in casinos. Georgia Bullies thought their luck would change and went back to the well with Jason Witten. However, he scored 2.20 points against a projected 5.34 and has now underachieved in three straight games.
  • Hulk Smash saw their RBs beat those on Georgia Bullies 49.40 – 21.60.

What If

  • If Hulk Smash played Georgia Bullies every week, they would be 8-4 this season.
  • Besides Georgia Bullies, Hulk Smash would have defeated three other teams this week.
  • Had they played each other last week, Hulk Smash would have defeated Georgia Bullies 126.54 – 63.60.
  • If they played the same schedule as Georgia Bullies, Hulk Smash would be 7-3.
  • If Hulk Smash had played every team in the league each week, they would be 49-35.
  • Besides Hulk Smash, Georgia Bullies would have been defeated by three other teams this week.
  • Georgia Bullies would be 2-8 if they played the same schedule as Hulk Smash.
  • If they played every team every week, Georgia Bullies would be 31-53.

Game Notes

  • Hulk Smash had their lowest winning score of the season with 95.04 points.
  • The 1.61-point margin of victory was the smallest in the league this week.
  • Jay Ajayi did little to help Hulk Smash, underperforming versus projections for the third straight game with 11.23 points against a projected 18.95.
  • Although Hulk Smash won, it was no thanks to Adam Vinatieri, who scored 1.00 point and has now scored below his projection in four straight weeks.
  • Just because Robert Horry has seven NBA championship rings, doesn’t mean he’s one of the greats. Despite being on the winning team, DeAndre Hopkins scored 4.67 points against a projected 7.19 and has now underachieved in six straight games.
  • Georgia Bullies got a combined 37.59 points from their WRs, the highest combined scoring output from the WR position for any team this week.
  • Hulk Smash got a combined 49.40 points from their RBs, the highest combined scoring output from the RB position for any team this week.
  • Hulk Smash didn’t meet expectations in the victory, recording 82.2% of their projected 115.62, while Georgia Bullies performed better than expected, beating their 89.08-point projection by 4.9%.
