X: Week Four Results

The standings got closer this week, but the point totals went through the roof. The 300 point threshold, which withstood two different 299+ point totals in the past two years has officially been overcome: the Deputy Van Halens crest to three straight overpowering wins, surging to a 305.43 total that could have been even more stupendous: Playing TJ Yeldon over Leonard Fournette and Anthony Walker over Matt Milano would have meant 343.53. BUT WE'RE DONT PLAY HYPOTHETICAL GAMES. The subplot here was the South Philly Rum Ham putting up a tremendous score of their own in a losing effort; New York, Binghamton, and Orgrimmar put up huge numbers and won this week, but none would have bested the Rum Ham. On the heels of losing the Baseball Championship Series in seven games, it's been a heart breaking week for their stupid city.

So! As initially alluded to, we've got four 3-1 teams, four 1-3 teams, and six 2-2 squads stuck in the middle after a month of play. We've got nine more weeks of this stuff before the playoffs, but early positioning can really dictate end game rosters, so lets take a look:

SCOREBOARD:

Week 4 Matchups


POWER OUTPUT:

  1. DVH 305: POWER LEVEL OVER 300! The 821 points scored by the Van Halens over the past three weeks is the most by any team over a three week period in LB history.
  2. RUM 263: This feels unfair. Philly's seen 96 more points against than their nearest competitor- and they've had 265.04 more PA than the highly fortuitous Moosecrew.
  3. NYF 262: A big week for everyone except newcomer Jordan Howard who dipped to 4.2 in his Finest debut. This would be called firing on all cylinders if it were race cars instead of football.
  4. BIN 248: The Snipers took a monstrous early lead and then never ceded any ground. If we go back and listed to all the pundits declaring Jared Goff a bust they would sound SO DUMB.
  5. ORG 241: The Horde have quietly resumed being exactly who they were half a decade ago when we saw them last: A highly efficient powerhouse. They might be looking to buy at WR.
  6. SPC 229: This is why there have never been any undefeated teams in Larkspur Bowl History. Because everyone does their job well, and you just run into somebody a little bit hotter.
  7. PHX 222: Accounting for the bulk of the season's trades to date, the Uprising offensive carousel barely got a chance to get to know each other before beating their LBX opponent.
  8. PAW 202: The Pride were the last team to join us on the left side of the standings, but their young team appears to be rounding into competitive form now.
  9. HVM 202: The McFly's depth will be tested as they suffered several injuries, none more impactful and grotesque than Tyler Eifert losing a foot. PS Le'Veon Bell says he will play!
  10. MMC 188: In a week where multiple high scorers lost, the Moosecrew were the low winner, and have banked 3 wins in the first month despite a so-so display on the field. 
  11. BKB 182: The Killa-Beez tread water in September and now Mark Ingram enters the lineup. Fitz-Magic show is over, but the QB market is saturated with quality streaming options.
  12. SAV 178: Mounting injuries on offense and a disappearing secondary have dropped the Petes into last place as we enter October. With excess talented WRs, could we see a move soon?
  13. MAL 174: The Grabbers fall from grace after surprising everyone in the early weeks has been more about points left on the bench than any dearth of talent. Alshon Jeffery is back btw!
  14. HCM 174: Just a rough week for last year's runner up, who got the bare minimum from their linebackers while also seeing their premier offensive weapons held in check.
TEAM OF THE WEEK:
