XII: Week Six Recap

Manitoba is edging towards clinching midway though the season, while Hill Valley (just barely!) remains a step behind them, pending stat corrections in a squeaker over the moribund 1-5 Rudy-Toos, who cannot catch a break. HCM City and New Jersey are both sitting in a good position at 4-2, in control of their destinies. Manitoba, Hill Valley, and HCM City have all been effective while seeing the easiest schedules to date- the Lead Farmers, fresh off a league leading power output, lead the leagues in points for.

Of the four teams square at .500% three dropped to 3-3 this week: Mar-A-Lago, Deputy, and Ohio sinking, while Pawnee fights back to even the score. Behind them five teams sit at 2-4, all of them hoping to catch fire in the season's second half and make the playoffs.


RESULTS

Week 6 Matchups

 

POWER OUTPUT

  1. HCM 244: When you win by over a hundred points, you're making a statement. That statement is named Derrick Henry, who was drafted 7th overall. He's still feeling slighted about that.
  2. JSC 232: Jersey gets double digits from 14 of 17 starters and needed every point in a clash of titans; Kyler Murray is the top QB in the league through six weeks.
  3. PHX 224: By the grace of Budda the Uprising evade a 1-5 start, with the defense doing much of the heavy lifting. TE has been a gaping black hole for several weeks now.
  4. SPC 219: Rough stuff, scoring this well and not coming away with a win. A number of ho-hum defensive scores did the Cows dirty, 2-4 despite scoring the 3rd most points to date.
  5. MAL 206: With a chance to win in the 4th quarter, Christian Kirk did his part, but Zeke Elliot came up wanting, fumbling away an opportunity to surge over .500%
  6. PRH 198: Matt Ryan made a statement, and it was that the Rum Ham offense came to play. The defense was less spectacular, but that's swept under the rug with a victory.
  7. HVM 192: It came down to the final seconds of play, but the McFlys are showing the same clutch gene that delivered an 11-2 record in 2019. A stack of WR1s is always helpful to that end.
  8. PAW 190: Things did not look good for the defending champs until Kenyan Drake rumbled for a very nice 69 yard touchdown run to drop the Petes' claim on their namesake.
  9. CRT 188: It could have been glorious, but nobody could stop Amari Cooper in the waning moments- one man's garbage time is another man's crunch time. Woof.
  10. OTB 188: With byes pockmarking their bench, Ohio had to trot out some scrubs this week and it showed- six players scored less than five points, undermining Justin Jefferson's prowess.
  11. MMC 187: The charmed life continues as the Moose Crew take a W despite a bottom four point total. With Lamar Jackson on bye the team turns to rookie Justin Herbert in week 7.
  12. SAV 171: What happened to TY Hilton? His utter lack of production has crippled Savannah multiple times this year. This time it wasted a nice defensive performance. 
  13. DVH 166: Sometimes the offense sputters, it happens to every team, it cannot always be explained. The Van Halens will hope to bounce back in week seven, that's all.
  14. BIN 140: Something is broken in Binghamton, as the team has been in the bottom half of these rankings since week 2, finishing last twice in a row. The WR is mostly to blame.
