Between the two teams are a sea of 2-1 and 1-2 teams all looking to jostle for position in the early going: Those two wins team will fight to make September a winning month, while those one win teams need to focus on evening up their record in week four, then focusing on building upon it with the remaining nine weeks of the season.
OF NOTE: South Park and Ohio's battle was decided by less than a point, and could end up going either way pending stat corrections, which finalize on Thursday morning.
Week 3 Matchups
- SAV 258: Keenan Allen stood out in this high scoring affair, but Savannah has looked all around great out of the gates to start the year.
- HCM 247: After splitting a pair of forgettable performances, the Lead Farmers came out blazing in week three, decimating the woeful Rum Ham and surging over .500.
- JSC 241: The Crew did work in week three, from the unstoppable Mike Evans to the playmaking cornerback duo of White and Lattimore.
- SPC 233: The Cows are in the win column for the moment, but with less than a point margin of victory, could end up overturned again. It'd be a tough break for a good team.
- OTB 232: Flipside, Ohio loses a heartbreaker for the moment. Denzel Ward's late breaking inactivity hurts them a ton; Playing Dak over Russell went poorly as well.
- CRT 225: Carmel has looked good in the early going, but only has a single win to show for it, victims of the toughest schedule (724 PA to date) and it's not even close. ADVERSITY!
- HVM 225: This one was never in doubt for the McFlys, who cruise despite leaving a ton of points on their bench; Fantastic depth at this juncture likely means an impending deal.
- BIN 221: Phillip Lindsay rumbles to a victory for Binghamton, who will look to pick off Hill Valley in a week four showdown between 2018 playoff teams.
- MAL 214: Despite the loss, the Grabbers performed well yet again and show every indication of contention this season with Patrick Mahomes at the helm.
- NYF 199: Winning is nice, but losing Saquon Barkley for a month or two hurts: The longer estimate wouldn't have the All-World back until playoff time.
- PAW 182: The Pride got a nice performance almost across the board, but letdowns from Baker Mayfield and Cameron Wake prevented them from making a game of it.
- DVH 174: The Van Halen swoon continues, staying in the cellar of these rankings while dropping a second game. The offense is good! The defense is terrible!
- PHX 154: A pathetic showing by Phoenix, who invested a lot of draft capital in players who do not play. A second straight zero from Jimmy Graham warrants legitimate criticism.
- PRH 154: South Philly made it up to 12 last week before lapsing into the bottom rung on the ladder- although playing Taylor Gabriel would have made it respectable, at least.
WEEK 3 TEAM-OF-THE-WEEK:
- QB Patrick Mahomes MAL (30.76) Another week, another 300+ yards and 3 TDs from Mahomes, who benefits from Russell on the bench and Danny Dimes on the wire.
- RB Alvin Kamara SAV (35.6) Rebounding from a quiet week two, the beast with the nose ring was his typical highlight reel self in the Petes victory with 161 yards, 2 TDs.
- WR Mike Evans JSC (49.1) Illness hindered him early this season, but on the third Sunday our lord and savior Mike Evans ascended to his glory most high, 190 yards and 3 TDs.
- TE Evan Engram SAV (24.5) Engram showcased all that elite potential that has had him sitting just below the cream of the crop at a barren position the last few years. 113 & TD.
- DL Calais Campbell HCM (31.5) The Lead Farmers' patience paid off in spades here, where the 6'8"behemoth took over the game, scoring three sacks and seven tackles.
- LB Jamie Collins CRT (26.5) Collins continues to be a one man wrecking crew, just an utterly disruptive force all over the field. 7 tackles, 3 TFL, 2 sacks... yes, he's all the way back.
- CB Donte Jackson BIN (29.75) Two picks, two flicks, and five tackles the Snipers' 19th pick follows up two solid performances with a fantastic one.
- SS Vonn Bell HVM (24.15) With Hasean Clinton-Dix on the wire, Bell is the pick here- scoring 9 total tackles, a PD, and a fumble returned for a TD he was a difference maker.
- K Mason Crosby HVM (10.00) A pair of forty yard field goals and a trio of PATs seal the award for Crosby in a quiet week for kickers.
B-DIVISION POWER RANKINGS:
- NITTANY LIONS 806.40 (+275.66)
- MANITOBA MOOSECREW 757.18 (+304.08)
- BREWTANG KILLA BEEZ 712.44 (+245.02)
