Burger Buddies 6-1-1 Top 3 - 4 Weeks

Only loss of season was by two points. Starting to look unbeatable.

Point Diff. +114

Memphis Brothers 4-4 Top 3 - 9 Weeks

Scoring has decreased four straight weeks, kind of overdue for a boom game.

Point Diff. +8

Fightin' Mallards 4-4 Top 5 - 3 Weeks

Leading the league in scoring and have faced the 4th most points. It's been a roller coaster for sure. Huge battle with Huskers this week, winners odds of making playoffs go up significantly.

Point Diff. +48

Asian Orangutangs 4-4 Top 5 - 2 Weeks

Deciding between Dak and Bo every week must be excruciating. Frontpage curse continues.

Point Diff. +42

Big Boys 4-4

Every single Jonathan Taylor TD stings as when looking back on the JT vs CEH debate at the top of the 2020 draft.

Point Diff. -17

Ludke's Merry Men 4-3-1

Must win games vs Llamas and Bear on tap next two weeks. Drop either of those and playoffs start to become a long shot. Facing the most points in the league hasn't helped matters to go with all the injuries.

Point Diff. -73

Market Thugs 5-3

5-3 despite getting next to nothing from Justin Jefferson has been a nice surprise. The season ending injury to Cam Skattebo is devastating.

High 5'n White Guys 5-3

Starting to feel like yet another title is on the way for the 11th highest scoring team in the league....they just win.

UCornn Huskers 4-4

3rd in league scoring but it feels like a dumpster fire. Strange vibes here.

Cuban Refugees 3-5

Five game losing streak finally snapped. I think these guys still have a shot to win the east.

Chunky Chickens 4-4

All the way back from the dead. Probably have one of the hardest schedules of any team rest of season. We'll see if they can keep it going.

Snapdragons 3-5

AJ Brown is just killing this team. I'd guess you'll see him in a Patriots uniform next season.

Point Diff. -19

Apple Eaters 3-5

Continue to be competitive despite a roster just ravaged by injury. They are going to ruin a few team's seasons as we head down the stretch.

Bear Poop 2-6

Snapped a 6 game losing streak only to see Buddies are up next. Ooof!

Mexican Beans 3-5

If you need some players I would have to think every single player on this roster would be available at this point....maybe even Joe Burrow.
