Millennium Falcons Rips Apart Hulk Smash, Climbs to Sixth Place

Millennium Falcons took advantage of 30.53 points from Amari Cooper and 20.80 from Jameis Winston to put a drubbing on Hulk Smash 121.03 to 68.25. This beating was revenge for a Week 1 121.36 to 100.88 comeback by Hulk Smash. Following a 114.48 to 106.82 loss against Syracuse Express, Hulk Smash saw their scoring shrink this week. Millennium Falcons (3-5, 879.98 points) climbs into sixth place while Hulk Smash (4-4, 893.55 points) drops to fifth place.

Smooth Moves by Millennium Falcons

  • If this were a dream sequence, you’d hear a deep voice announce, “Millennium Falcons, the Toyota Hall of Famer.” But it’s not.
  • Rob Gronkowski had 18.27 points, the highest TE score of the week and the fifth-highest TE score in the league this season.
  • Even the Wright brothers would be proud of this aerial performance. Amari Cooper had 30.53 points, the highest WR score of the week and the eighth-highest WR score in the league this season.
  • Millennium Falcons appears to be some sort of fantasy prophet in the making. The Kansas City Chiefs Defense, which was picked up by Millennium Falcons, scored 17.00 points against a projected 10.00, topping their projection by 70.0%.
  • Miss Cleo, is that you? The 14.70 points scored by Rob Kelley, who Millennium Falcons picked up this week, beat his projected point total of 9.28 by 58.4%.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

  • Funny, the Hall provides articles you could have studied. But instead you watched Hulk Smash cry trying.
  • This is one of those mistakes that you continuously think about for ten years. Did not start Kirk Cousins, who scored 28.22 points to rank seventh in the league in scoring.
  • Picked up Julian Edelman but left him on the bench, where he scored 8.47 points against a projected 6.16.
  • All that glitters is not gold. Picked up Chris Thompson, who scored 3.20 points against his projected 7.44.
  • A heated blanket would be a great gift for Russell Wilson during this cold streak. He scored below his projection in three straight games after scoring 9.22 points against a projected 21.16 this week.

What If

  • If Millennium Falcons played Hulk Smash every week, they’d be 3-5 this year.
  • Besides Hulk Smash, Millennium Falcons would have defeated three other teams this week.
  • Millennium Falcons would be 3-3 if they played the same schedule as Hulk Smash.
  • If Millennium Falcons had played every team in the league each week, they would be 23-33.

  • Hulk Smash would be 30-26 if they played every team every week.

  • It was the third-biggest margin of victory in the league this season at 52.78 points.

NewEngland Deflators Put the Stamp on Georgia Bullies, Moves Up to Second Place

NewEngland Deflators remains undefeated in two matchups against Georgia Bullies with a 142.06 to 106.57 win. Derek Carr was the key difference, putting up 40.82 points for NewEngland Deflators. The last time these teams met, DeAngelo Williams led with 33.17. We could write something blasting Georgia Bullies for starting two players (Jamaal Charles and Michael Floyd) who scored zero points.

They defeated Georgia Bullies 118.87 to 113.91 in Week 1.
