Matchups

Goff the Beaten Path wandered somewhere nobody wanted to go: 79.0, the lowest total of the week. Brenden's Texas Puppies made Katie pay behind 22.4 from Javonte Williams, winning by 39.3 to climb to 4-5 and take a 2-1 edge in the series. Katie slips to 5-4.

Five meetings, five wins for Islands in the Stream(ing) def., and this one came down to 0.9. Devin got 26.7 from Bijan Robinson and had 141.3 sitting on the roster, but the lineup that took the field couldn't quite match Ja'Marr Chase's 31.5. Both teams are 6-3. The series is 5-0.

Puka Nacua put up 35.0 by himself, and that was most of the story in Lamarvelous beating SPORTZCHICK Sarah T 98.0 to 89.1. The sting for Sarah is that a better arrangement of the roster would have reached 100.9. Madeline improves to 3-6 and now leads the series 3-2.

All the Loves got every bit of Jordan Love, 36.2 points of him, plus 33.5 from CeeDee Lamb, and Amanda still came up short at 120.8. Kylyn's TURN DOWN FOR WATT simply had more, with Joe Burrow at 29.5 and Bucky Irving at 28.5 driving a 133.4 that takes the first-ever meeting and lifts Kylyn to 6-3.

Kickers led both sides in the week's tightest finish, Jake Bates with 15.0 for Michael and Cam Little with 17.0 for Grace, and Father Badonka-conk escaped 81.5 to 81.1. Grace had 91.8 available in an optimal lineup, which makes a 0.4 loss a long one to sit with. Michael is 6-3 and leads the series 4-1.

Justin's Jackie Moon’s Flint Tropics FC hung 139.0 on EA Sports, nobody scored more, and the 52.8-point gap was the widest anywhere. Matthew Golden's 32.4 led the charge to 8-1, while Emily drops to 2-7 in the first meeting between these two.

Hurts, Don't it? is the right question for Aaron this week. Hartley's Hail Mary lost by 0.6 with 91.3 available on the roster, wasting Brock Purdy's 25.3, while Elisabeth won on a kicker and a defense: Dominic Zvada at 17.0, the Bills D/ST at 15.0. Both teams sit 2-7.

Mike set the Antioch Dirty Birds lineup perfectly, every one of the 100.1 points on the field, and it made no difference. Kenneth Walker III ran up 36.3 for Madi's nothing beats a jjettas2holiday, which wins the first meeting by 18.2 and moves to 6-3 while Mike falls to 4-5.

Joe Burrow did most of the talking for Kylyn, putting up 39.5 points for TURN DOWN FOR WATT. Brenden's Texas Puppies got 19.9 from Kyler Murray and 16.0 from the Steelers defense, which kept things respectable rather than close. Kylyn takes the first meeting by 25.3, and the two teams now sit on opposite sides of even at 5-3 and 3-5.

The whole thing came down to 0.4 points, the week's thinnest finish, and it broke Devin's way: To Infinity and Bijan 106.5, Father Badonka-conk 106.1. Michael's best possible lineup would have scored 121.8, which is the part that stings. Devin now owns three straight in the series, up 4-2, and sits at 6-2.

Madi versus Madeline looked like the name-tag game of the week and turned into a 71.0-point mismatch. Tony Pollard (28.7) and Michael Wilson (26.8) powered nothing beats a jjettas2holiday to 128.4, while Lamarvelous had Puka Nacua's 25.0 and very little behind it. Madi now leads the series 2-1.

The team name doubles as the headline: Islands in the Stream(ing) def. EA Sports, 155.0 to 73.9. Ja'Marr Chase (31.1) and Brock Bowers (28.2) built the week's top score and its widest gap, 81.1, while Emily's best starter was the Jaguars defense at 21.0. The series moves to 2-0 for jeff.

Jordan Love put up 21.5 for All the Loves, about as on-brand as a quarterback gets, but Amanda came up 3.5 short anyway. Mike's Antioch Dirty Birds leaned on Dak Prescott (19.8) and, tellingly, 16.0 from kicker Tyler Bass to even out at 4-4 and push the series to 3-1.

Grace had dropped the last three meetings with Katie, so T-law and Order laid down the law. Bhayshul Tuten (29.9) and Josh Allen (26.6) drove a 48.0-point win that buried solid days from D'Andre Swift and Harold Fannin Jr. Both teams sit at 5-3, and Grace finally has a win in the series, now 1-3.

Hartley's Hail Mary needed one and never got it: Aaron's best starter was Ashton Jeanty at 10.3, and the 44.5 total was the week's lowest. Justin's Jackie Moon’s Flint Tropics FC cruised behind Jahmyr Gibbs (24.8) and Drake Maye (22.5), taking the first meeting by 78.1 and moving to 7-1.

Tee Higgins carried SPORTZCHICK Sarah T with 37.5 points, and Sarah took the first meeting 112.8 to 69.8. Elisabeth's Hurts, Don't it? got 17.3 from Tucker Kraft and not much else, and at 1-7 the team name is reading a little too honest.

Amanda had the two best starters on the field, Jameson Williams at 26.1 and CeeDee Lamb at 24.4, and lost anyway. Brenden's Texas Puppies leaned on Amon-Ra St. Brown and Omar Cooper Jr. to post 131.2, win by 10.1 and climb to 3-4, leaving the head-to-head at 1-1.

Katie had lost two straight to Devin, and Jonathan Taylor and D'Andre Swift ended that with an identical 19.0 apiece. Bijan Robinson stopped at 17.2 for To Infinity and Bijan, a long way short of infinity, and the 97.1 to 85.0 result leaves both teams 5-2 with the series knotted at 2-2.

Lamarvelous could have posted 93.3 with the right lineup, enough to win; the one Madeline started produced 83.0, the week's lowest score. Mike's Antioch Dirty Birds got 23.3 from Dak Prescott and 22.5 from Rhamondre Stevenson, and the 6.5-point win lifts them to 3-4 while Madeline falls to 2-5.

The team name writes its own headline: Islands in the Stream(ing) def. Hartley's Hail Mary, 105.5 to 105.0, the closest finish of the week. Aaron left the Hail Mary on the bench, with a best possible lineup worth 114.1, and jeff snaps a two-game skid in the series to reach 4-3.

Grace got every last point out of T-law and Order, 91.3 of them led by 28.0 from the Buccaneers D/ST, and still lost by 30.1. Kylyn answered with Joe Burrow at 28.9 and Bucky Irving at 24.0 to take the first meeting between them, and both teams now sit at 4-3.

Not close. Father Badonka-conk hung 158.3 on EA Sports, the week's top score, behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 31.3 and Trey McBride's 27.1, and the 74.7-point margin was the biggest of the week. Michael came in having lost two straight to Emily; this one makes the series 1-2 and Michael 5-2.

Tony Pollard put up 36.5 for Madi, and nothing beats a jjettas2holiday took the first meeting with Elisabeth 123.0 to 84.7. Zay Flowers gave Hurts, Don't it? a 27.7, but the answer to the team name is yes: 1-6.

SPORTZCHICK Sarah T had 116.8 on the roster and started a lineup that scored 88.0. That gap swung the first meeting between these two, because Jackie Moon’s Flint Tropics FC needed only 92.3, with Drake Maye supplying 27.4, to beat Sarah by 4.3 and move Justin to 6-1.

Brenden set the perfect lineup for Texas Puppies, and the perfect lineup produced 53.1, the week's lowest score. Mike's Antioch Dirty Birds cruised behind Emeka Egbuka's 17.8 and a 17.0 from kicker Tyler Bass, leaving both teams at 2-4 and the series level at 1-1.

The best lineup available to Kylyn would have scored 154.0. The one TURN DOWN FOR WATT actually started managed 97.6, and that gap decided it. Devin got 27.3 from Trevor Lawrence and 23.9 from Isaiah Likely, and To Infinity and Bijan took the first meeting between these two to reach 5-1.

Madeline's Lamarvelous answered the question in the other team's name: yes, it does. Jaylin Noel's 20.7 and Bryce Young's 19.8 carried a 17.6-point win in the first meeting between the two, sending Elisabeth's Hurts, Don't it? to 1-5 while Lamarvelous climbs to 2-4.

Four meetings in, Sarah and jeff are dead level at 2-2, and this one came down to 3.9. Jayden Daniels (21.0) and Carnell Tate (19.0) gave SPORTZCHICK Sarah T just enough to outlast DK Metcalf's 20.3 for Islands in the Stream(ing) def., lifting Sarah to 4-2 and dropping jeff to 3-3.

Amanda had a 114.5 lineup sitting on the roster, enough to flip a 6.9-point loss, but that version of All the Loves never took the field. Grace collected the win behind Bhayshul Tuten's 24.7, pushing T-law and Order to 4-2 and the head-to-head to 3-2.

Christian McCaffrey's 30.7 was the biggest number in this game, and it still left Emily short. EA Sports had a 109.8 lineup within reach and fell by 4.9 instead, while Katie's backfield pair of D'Andre Swift (23.0) and Jonathan Taylor (21.1) lifted Goff the Beaten Path to 4-2 and evened the series at 1-1.

No prayer required. Hartley's Hail Mary won by 32.5, the week's widest gap, with Malik Nabers (28.5) and Tre Tucker (26.7) doing the heavy lifting. Aaron moves to 2-0 against Michael, whose Father Badonka-conk drops to 4-2 despite 25.4 from Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Madi did everything right. Starting the best possible lineup, nothing beats a jjettas2holiday put up 120.1 and lost by 0.7 to the week's highest score. Drake Maye's 23.8 and Matthew Golden's 22.4 carried Justin's Jackie Moon’s Flint Tropics FC to 5-1 in the first meeting between them, leaving Madi at 3-3 with nothing to fix.
