Well would you look at that, we did well!
Cameron Newton-Oswald/Daniel Kenny - K/P - /
Just like we wrote it up. A bit surprising that TIJ was unable to score more than 10 on the night, but the MIN revenge game saw TIJ K Daniel Kenny miss a 48 yarder in the third quarter while CNO didn’t even need to attempt any.
Russell Jimmies - QB -
Jimmies and KCC had an unexpectedly successful game through the air in their close loss to BBB, but as predicted the defense kept Jimmies’ passes pretty short. The KCC QB finished with a below-average 6.0 yards per completion.
Warren Peace - WR -
An all-around dominant performance by POR shut down NOR’s offense handily. Dyson was only able to complete 12 passes all night and barring a 69 yard TD to Benny Hanna in the third, he would’ve been held under 100 yards passing. Peace only managed three catches for 21 yards.
DSFL -
This one was always going to be up to a pure roll of the dice, but the odds were just laughing at us this week. We got not one, but two defensive touchdowns, and LON wanted to rub salt in the wound by adding on a safety as well. Sometimes the universe just doesn’t want us to win.
Huge Yakman - LB -
Yakman ended up with a pretty active night against KCC, ending with nine tackles, two TFLs, a PD and even an interception, but not a single sack. It’s even more surprising because as a team, BBB was able to sack KCC’s Russell Jimmies an alarming five times, Yakman just never could get a hand in.
Portland Pythons -
An unsurprising outcome from a fairly surprising game. We expected POR to win, maybe even in dominant fashion, but we still didn’t expect a drubbing like this one. Even so, POR only managed one turnover all game, a game-ending interception by LB Upcetti Spaghetti with 1:08 remaining in the fourth. Oh well, better than losing money, but pushes are still massively underwhelming in our opinion.
Ignoring the push, the Woof Line goes 4 for 5 and massively profits! We plan to keep that momentum going in our last regular-season sportsbook for the ISFL.
Danny Nedelko - RB -
Nedelko and the Outlaws host YWK in the final game of S47 and one of Nedelko’s last home games of his storied career. Even so, we’re not predicting a huge game for him on the ground. AZ’s last five games have had Nedelko playing second-fiddle to Mannering-Phipps, and in none of those games did Nedelko break 59 yards. On top of that, while YKW’s run defense is fairly mediocre, their pass defense is worse, so we expect AZ’s formidable passing attack to take center stage in what will likely be a rout. No disrespect to Danny at all, but we’re taking the under.
National Treasure - WR -
BAL at their best are a run-first team and even when passing have a penchant for spreading the ball out pretty evenly. On the other hand, Treasure seems to have a knack for overproducing on his limited touches like in his five catch, 104 yard game against OCO or his six catch, 125 yard performance against BER. We’re betting that BAL returns to form in their last game of the season to try and win back the first seed in the NSFC. We’re taking the under on a game where BAL feeds Skywalker on their way to a win.
Teemo Swift - LB -
SJS’s last few games have seen them giving up a good number of tackles to opposing LBs, even including rookies like HON’s JJ What. In their last matchup, Swift was able to notch a respectable nine tackles despite losing handily, and we think that’s pretty likely to be the case here. SJS wins comfortably, but Swift will get plenty of involvement. Over.
Kumquat Archipelago - RB -
This is one of those lines that feels like a slam dunk, but Archipelago’s season averages unfortunately don’t paint a pretty picture for him here. S47 has him averaging only three attempts per game on the ground and his catches per game isn’t much better with four. Most of these attempts are very low-yardage as well. He’s up against a pretty bad COL team but even in their last matchup, which was at home and early in the season, Archipelago barely hit this line with 54 yards from scrimmage. We’re thinking that an away game against a COL team that has been steadily improving all year won’t be as kind. We like the under.
Diggs Sideline-Touchdown + Charlie Thorsen - CB/S -
BER is technically third in the league in interceptions and Sideline-Touchdown is tied for second place, but even so we don’t have a ton of faith in the BER backfield to produce turnovers. Four of their 18 interceptions came in one bizarre game against BAL, and removing that outlier performance puts them (and DST specifically) firmly in the middle of the pack. CHI’s Painted Penguin is also fairly average when it comes to protecting the ball, averaging one pick per game, slightly inflated by a couple multi-pick performances. We think Penguin manages to keep the ball safe this time around so we’ll take the under.
Zaphod Beeblebrox - WR -
OCO have been doing a decent job of defending WRs through their current five-game winning streak, with only NYS’s Sean Robinson catching more than seven in a game. We think that's likely to continue against a struggling AUS offense. If any receiver is going to do particularly well, it would much more likely be Delores Bickerman, who’s having a top-10 season so far. Expect ZB to catch three or four passes and take the under.
Billy Jor-El - CB -
NOLA’s pass defense hasn’t been very great this season, but they’re up against HON so what does that matter? We’d expect a quick lead for NOLA in this one, followed by plenty of passing by HON to catch up. HON’s opponents are getting PDs with decent regularity, so it feels somewhat inevitable that at least one should go Jor-El’s way. Let's take the over as HON completes its second tank with a two-score loss.
That’s your scoop for today, but you’d be crazy to take advice from a dog right?
