Syracuse Express Pulverizes Georgia Bullies, Jumps to League’s Pole Position

Syracuse Express (9-4, 1,624.47 points) secures first place in the league after clobbering Georgia Bullies (seventh place, 5-8, 1,238.84 points) 156.05 to 64.02. When the matchup had ended, they got the third-highest point total this season. After all the blood, sweat, and tears, Syracuse Express has finally reached the promised land. Now don’t blow it in the playoffs. This beatdown was revenge for a Week 6 85.98 to 82.62 heartbreaking loss to Georgia Bullies. When assigning blame following this loss, Georgia Bullies can look in the mirror. They started a player with zero points (Jason Witten).

Smooth Moves by Syracuse Express

  • If this were a dream sequence, you’d hear a deep voice announce, “Syracuse Express, the Toyota Hall of Famer.” But it’s not.
  • Syracuse Express saw their third-largest single-week point total by a player this season with Jordan Howard scoring 34.70 points. The score was also high enough to rank second in the league.
  • Benched Dak Prescott, who had the lowest QB score on the team with 8.26 points.
  • The 18.87 points scored by Jordy Nelson was the second-highest score by a WR in the league this week.
  • With 18.07 points, Le’Veon Bell ranked seventh in scoring among all RBs in the league this week.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

  • 156.05 seems a lot higher when you’re on the losing side of it. And the Toyota Hall of Fame knows you know that.
  • Well, that’s embarrassing. Left Matthew Stafford on the bench, where he ranked fifth in the league in scoring with 25.84 points.
  • It was a bad week at RB for Georgia Bullies, who was outscored at the position 70.77 – 23.40 by Syracuse Express.
  • 9 of the 10 starters scored less than their projected points.
  • This is how people lose everything in casinos. Georgia Bullies thought their luck would change and went back to the well with Theo Riddick. However, he scored 7.20 points against a projected 9.93 and has now underachieved in four straight games.

What If

  • Syracuse Express would be 10-3 if they played Georgia Bullies every week.
  • Syracuse Express would’ve been undefeated if they played every team in the league this week.
  • Were they resting their players for this week? Syracuse Express would have defeated Georgia Bullies 111.08 – 93.43 had they played each other last week.
  • If they played the same schedule as Georgia Bullies, Syracuse Express would be 7-4.
  • If Syracuse Express had played every team in the league each week, they would be 65-26.

  • The matchup had both the highest-scoring and lowest-scoring teams in the league this week.
  • Syracuse Express had five starters who scored more points than the highest-scoring starter for Georgia Bullies.

  • We don’t condone cheating, but this group of wide receivers might want to spray Stickum on their gloves. The 12.76 total points by the WRs on Georgia Bullies was their lowest WR output this season.

NewEngland Deflators Gets Upset over Liberty City Outlaws, Ushers Them from First Place

NewEngland Deflators (fifth place, 7-6, 1,400.89 points) pushes Liberty City Outlaws (9-4, 1,544.81 points) closer to the dustbin of history and out of first place after beating them 121.59 to 115.41. Despite entering the matchup with a projected spread of 17.02, they rose to the occasion and shocked the league by getting the second-highest point total in the league this week. This win served Liberty City Outlaws a cold dish of revenge after they won a Week 6 matchup, 146.43 to 103.15. Devonta Freeman led Liberty City Outlaws with 20.87 points while Stephen Gostkowski racked up 17.00.

Smooth Moves by NewEngland Deflators

  • Fantasy Football is a game where the high score wins. So keep doing what you have to do, the Toyota Hall of Fame will turn a blind eye.
  • With 18.00 points, the Denver Broncos Defense was the top-scoring DEF of the week.
  • Derek Carr put up 24.80 points, which was the seventh-highest score in the league this week.
  • Expect to see some trade offers for LeSean McCoy. He ranked eighth in the league in scoring with 22.07 points.
  • Made the right move in benching Cole Beasley, who had 1.53 points, the lowest total of any starting WR on NewEngland Deflators.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

  • The fact that you’re reading this means you have internet connection. Unfortunately, that’s one less thing to blame your loss on. Don’t tell the Hall.
  • Should have started Philip Rivers, who underachieved, but still outscored the starting QB with 18.80 against a projected 19.93.
  • All that glitters is not gold. Picked up Kyle Rudolph, who scored 3.00 points against his projected 4.99.
  • With 8.00 points against a projected 10.22, the Arizona Cardinals Defense did not meet their projection for the seventh straight game.
  • At the QB position, Liberty City Outlaws got outscored 24.80 – 8.04 by NewEngland Deflators.

  • Liberty City Outlaws would be 8-3 if they played the same schedule as NewEngland Deflators.
  • Liberty City Outlaws would be 64-27 if they played every team every week.

Game Notes

  • Don’t you hate that person that always has to one-up everybody? Liberty City Outlaws scored 115.41 points and lost. It is the fourth-highest losing score in the league this season.
  • The margin of victory of 6.18 points was the smallest in the league this week.
  • NewEngland Deflators beat Liberty City Outlaws at the top, with two of their starters outscoring the leading point-getter for Liberty City Outlaws.
  • Not going to name names, but some people here aren’t pulling their weight. Forget it, Mike Wallace needs to step it up! He scored 3.93 points against a projected 5.23 in the win, and has now scored below his projection in four straight games.
  • NewEngland Deflators improves to 3-0 and remains undefeated in upset games this season.
