Week seven saw two matchups come down to the wire, as Binghamton has a .7 advantage over Mar-A-Lago in a high scoring contest, while Pawnee has a 1.05 lead over South Park in a much more modest affair. Neither tally should be considered conclusive until Thursday morning, as any adjustment is likely to alter the landscape, and multiple tweaks could really make things interesting.
In other news, the Moosecrew's undefeated season is over as they plummet to the bottom of the power output in week seven while dropping one spot (to #2) in the overall seedings, ceding pole position to the Hill Valley McFlys who have been a juggernaut in six of seven weeks and have the 6-1 record to show for it.
HCM City and New Jersey have solid standing as the league's second tier, both 5-2, in the top four for total points, and in the driver's seat for playoff positioning. Should Pawnee's lead hold, they're the #5 seed and the last squad over .500; A reversal would see them descend into madness, as along with South Park, it would result in 8 teams all even at 3-4- assuming the other matchup stays the same. Meanwhile, Mar-A-Lago getting an overturn from the booth review could see them join Pawnee at 4-3, a fitting standing for their #2 ranked scoring offense, while Binghamton would fall back off the pace to 2-5. That's where South Park sits for now, despite the fifth most points on the season.
At the bottom we see sad sack Carmel put up their best score of the year in a losing effort, a real travesty- four of the top five scorers this week were confined to two real slobberknockers. The Rum Ham defense let them down in a winnable matchup that could have thrust them into the throng- instead, they'll be playing catchup in the back half of the season.
RESULTS
Week 7 Matchups
POWER OUTPUT
- BIN 227: This is the way to get back in the game- but a stat correction reversal would be, even for 2020, pretty dang demoralizing. Otherwise! A FIGHTING CHANCE.
- HCM 227: The Lead Farmers hold a pretty healthy points league if civilization deteriorates and football ends prematurely, they could be the final LB champ, reigning for eternity.
- MAL 226: Second in total points, sixth in the standings. I am rooting for these Grabbers to remain relevant much deeper into 2020 than their namesake.
- HVM 217: Seizing the top seed, the best may be yet to come for a stacked roster that, good health obliging, will be a favorite to retake the Silver Chalice once again.
- CRT 211: Really just horrible luck here. The Rudy-Toos have battled, they've scrounged, they've done a great job to make something out of nothing, but that something is just 1 win out of 7.
- JSC 202: Mid-season the Sanitation Crew are cleaning up while most of the league is breaking down. Well, Kyler Murray and Devante Adams are, anyway.
- DVH 186: A solid effort but the Van Halens go down for the third time in a row, and face a quarterback quandary with Cam Newton struggling- in steps Teddy Bridgewater.
- PHX 180: Budda Baker rescues the Uprising again, as the defense has had to step in for an uninspiring offense that lost Odell Beckham for the season on the second play from scrimmage.
- SAV 180: If Savannah and Phoenix had met this week, we could have had the first tie in league history. Instead, Savannah wins a laugher, and could have CMC back for the stretch.
- PAW 175: Tyler Rapp provided the improbably victory here, pending stat adjustments. The Pride have been charmed to date 4-3 despite being an astounding 13th in total points.
- SPC 174: Meanwhile, more hard luck in South Park, as their worst game of the season ends up a point short of victory... CeeDee Lamb going stone cold really hurt badly.
- OTB 173: A failure to replace Michael Thomas or Jamal Adams despite having the IR spots available crippled this squad. I hope surfing with your dear brother was worth it!!
- PRH 157: With more than half the team scoring single digits, the Rum Ham waste an opportunity to capture a much needed win, and last in points, look poised to linger at the bottom again.
- MMC 145: If there's a silver lining, its that this team is still 6-1 and clustered a bunch of duds together on the same week. They wasted Justin Herbert's most glorious day to date.
TEAM OF THE WEEK

UPCOMING MATCHUPS
Hill Valley and Manitoba come in from opposite ends of the spectrum this week, both 6-1 and battling for supremacy. That's going to be the marquee matchup in week eight, as the victor should have a clear route to a playoff bye, while the loser could end up in a crowd of 6-2 teams, with Jersey and HCM both projected to win again.
