With all the shifts in schedule, this week's recap is coming late- but served hot! Thursday Night Football was gobbled up by rescheduling so this week will start Sunday and end Monday, a concise setup that is already imperiled: ATL had some COVID-19 positives this morning, jeopardizing their tilt with MIN. If the game is postponed it would like lead to a week 6 bye for both teams, which will leave several Larkspur Bowl squads reeling.
Manitoba remains at the league's zenith with a perfect 5-0 record. Behind them, the Hill Valley McFlys 4-1 record has seen them put up some overwhelming numbers outside of a week 2 dud. We've got five 3-2 teams jostling for playoff position, four 2-3 teams elbowing each other to get back in the race, and three 1-4 teams hoping to salvage their season before it is too late.
RESULTS
Week 5 Matchups
POWER OUTPUT
- HVM 261: The defense laid on the points, but this was a matchup the McFlys could have won in their sleep. The team is rolling and continues to get better via trade.
- HCM 233: The Lead Farmers lead the league in total pts but will have some immediate holes to address following the Le'Veon Bell release- but are in a great spot in the standings.
- SPC 232: The Cows take a laugher and remain a hyper competent challenge for the silver chalice, especially if DeShaun Watson has the keys to a potent new offense.
- OTB 212: Bouncing back after a couple of losses, being 3-2 and two with Micahel Thomas set to return (healthy and less punchy) after a wk 6 bye, this team is in good shape.
- MMC 206: Perfect through five weeks, the Moose Crew can pursue an undefeated season (or at least a bye) or coast through to optimize their playoff roster, needing just 3 wins to clinch.
- JSC 194: The team has not matched their week one outburst, but have been competitive in 3 of 4 since, giving them ample opportunity to contend down the stretch.
- CRT 187: VICTORY! The Rudy-Toos continue to battle despite their early season frustrations, working over their roster with a lineup of scrappy overachievers.
- PHX 186: The ten year playoff streak is well in the rear-view, as Phoenix looks bound for a second straight season among the other half of the league.
- MAL 184: The Grabbers drop a winnable matchup but still sit at a healthy 3-2 with an opportunity to issue a coup de grace to Phoenix in week 6.
- DVH 164: This stinker came at a bad time for Deputy, who had been rolling through the season's first month but 'only' have a 3-2 record to show for it heading into a date with the Moose.
- SAV 163: Some woeful showings on defense undermined an otherwise solid (but unspectacular) week for the Petes in week 5, and they have another tough slate of byes in week 6.
- PAW 142: Godawful for the defending champs, their defense let them down while AJ Green continues to do his rigor mortis impression, this team has breached 187 pts just once.
- PRH 120: Matty Ice's return has not gone as planned, although his 4.56 pts outscored 5/8th of a defense that combined for just 35 points in week five. Putrid.
- BIN 112: Bye weeks ravaged this team's talent, and maybe they would have been better just mailing it in shorthanded, as only four players managed double digits, thus... atrocity.
