LBXIV: WEEK ONE

Half of the league is thrilled right now, while the other is despairing, the traditional kneejerks of a season opener, so begins Fourteen in Year of the Bowl.

Week 1 Matchups

 

Of the six active teams that have hoisted the Larkspur Bowl's Silver Chalice, five (Hill Valley, New Jersey, Phoenix, Manitoba, and South Park) got off on the right foot, leaving the Pawnee Pride, already faded glory coming off a 2-11 season, as the only former champion to fail their first task. Perhaps they'll fare better in week two for GM Pete Allegretta's birthday.

Binghamton's win over a capable Savannah squad is definitive, but Ohio's slim margin (3.72) of victory over Deputy will have to withstand stat corrections before it becomes final.

HCM City takes the hard luck loss despite going over 200 points, leading the losers for the week. They'll all have chances to even their record next week, although with a pair of matchups between defeated teams on tap (CRT vs PRH and DVH vs HCM) we are bound to see at least two teams fall into an 0-2 hole.

TEAM OF THE WEEK (WK 1)

  • QB Patrick Mahomes (NJC) - 38.10 points
  • RB Saquon Barkley (PHX) - 36.80 points
