A prosperous week for the first issue, so let's take a look at our bets.
Tyler Higbee II - TE -
Again, we can’t say we’re happy about this outcome but we also aren’t surprised. Pythons had a tough time passing as expected, and even with seven targets, Higbee could only come down with two catches for 28 yards.
Scudl McDiddl/Puddles O'Duck - QB - /
That “slightly better” TIJ defense must have taken offense at our analysis because they showed up in a big way in Week 10. TIJ was able to out-gain LON by over 150 yards on the back of a nearly perfect performance by O’Duck. McDiddl was still able to put up nearly 300 passing yards, but a pair of interceptions and a 53% completion rate wasn’t getting him anywhere near the endzone. O’Duck wins 3-0.
Cameron Oswald-Newton - K/P -
As predicted, the Grey Ducks out-possessed NOR by ten full minutes, and more drives almost always results in more punts. Oswald-Newton averaged 43 yards on his five punts, and was able to land two inside the NOR 20 yard line.
Dazen Guile - RB -
Guile tried his best to make us look the fool and had a pretty excellent game. 20 carries, 108 yards, and a TD in a tough loss to KCC. Luckily for us, and you, his longest rush was 15 yards on the day. KCC rush defense performed admirably against DAL’s sustained rushing attack, holding their 41(!!!) attempts to an average of only 4.2 yards per attempt.
D'Glester Hardunkichud - LB -
We predicted volume and in that sense we were definitely correct. KCC LBs Hardunkichud and Destroyer each got 14 tackles and combined for 3 TFL, but unfortunately for us, no sacks. Quiller’s only sack on the night came at the hands of rookie DT Lheorvine Adebisi instead.
Bondi Beach Buccaneers -
Another surprise on the night as Van Goff had probably his worst game of the season. POR’s rushing attack was performing admirably and the Pythons entered the second half with a 16-7 lead, only to have Van Goff start slinging and almost immediately get picked. The game spiraled from there and POR wouldn’t be able to score again. BBB picked up a second interception in the fourth as POR was forced to pass more and more to make up the point deficit.
That gives the Woof Line a 66% hit streak in its young existence! Let’s look forward to ISFL Week 13 and try to keep it up.
Kenny Szymborski - TE -
Pancakes aren’t exactly a fun or easy stat to predict, but here’s our best shot. Szymborski is currently averaging four pancakes per game, and largely in part to a handful of early games where he racked up 7+ each. He’s only gotten above five pancakes three times so far this season, so we’re going with the odds. Doghouse says: under.
Detective Crashmore - TE -
Two TE lines? Is the TEvolution starting already? Crashmore’s line is a very enticing one in our opinion, as he’s already averaging six catches per game. He hasn’t had a game with less than six since Week 7 vs BER, and though the Yeti have a surprisingly effective pass defense, we’d expect them to be more focused on WRs Williams and Suzuka. Feels like a fairly safe over.
Willier Miller - QB -
Miller is the signal caller for the league’s worst offense and he’s got the unfortunate luck to be up against one of the better passing defenses in BER. He’s been able to hit two TDs in a handful of games so far, but he more often can’t get past one. In their last matchup, BER was able to really pressure Miller, and even though the Sailfish would end up winning, he still only managed one TD to salvage his stat line of 18/29 for 140 and two picks. We’re expecting a similar outcome this week, especially after BER’s wild shootout win last week. Sorry SAR, we recommend the under.
Arizona Outlaws -
AZ is too good of a team to make this prediction easy. Looking over their season, they’re just as likely to score on the ground or through the air and they’re in the top three in both rushing and passing yards per game. The key to this prediction is actually their opponent. NOLA has been incredibly effective at stopping the run this season, currently ranked second in the ISFL with 79 rushing yards allowed per game. In their last matchup in Week 5, NOLA was able to keep AZ’s RBs scoreless even with 29 combined carries. NOLA still lost that game 23-20, but the majority of points for both teams were scored off defensive TDs and FGs. We’re hoping for a similar showing this week as we take the under.
Blaine Falco/Lloyd Bannings - QB - /
The -9.5 on this line is pretty interesting, as both QBs are already pretty equivalent this season. Falco averages a meager seven more yards per game than Bannings, which is almost statistically irrelevant. OCO’s defense is at least in the top half of the league while NYS’s is much closer to the bottom, which may see OCO lead early and then be comfortable with letting Shrubbery take the lion’s share of the opportunities to close the game. We expect NYS to pass more, but how much more is tough to predict. Their previous matchup went exactly this way so we’re betting on Falco, even with a -9.5.
Joey Battle - LB -
Battle is barely averaging six tackles per game, but much like our Hardunkichud analysis we’re expecting so many opportunities for him vs BAL that he should be able to get plenty of tackles. Last time these two teams faced off, Battle racked up 14 tackles, and in his last five games he’s only missed the mark once. A short analysis for what we see as a pretty comfortable over.
Delores Bickerman - WR -
It’s generally a safe bet to take the over on any WR up against HON this season, and this seems to be no exception. In their last three games HON have allowed at least two receivers per game to reach the 70 yard mark, so the Copperheads’ leading receiver shouldn’t have too tough a time reaching the same numbers. Doghouse thinks HON comes out on top, but Bickerman will still catch plenty of passes in this one.
That’s your scoop for today, but you’d be crazy to take advice from a dog right?
