Cream of the Crop: Week 3 Predictions

Week 2 In-depth:

Let’s take a look at the undefeated teams:


Moose is Loose (2-0) – v. Angry Al Yankovic; v. Evil Universe All Stars

R-Squad Sacapuntas (2-0) – v. Evil Universe All Stars; v. San Dimas High

Gridiron Ninjas (2-0) – v. Team Klenk; v. Pumpkin Spice Lattes

Puddin’ Pops (2-0) – v. North Pole Leisure Kings; v. Foam John Thomas

AC Slaters (2-0) – v. San Dimas High; v. Angry Al Yankovic



So here are the trends I see here:


1 – Angry Al Yankovic, Evil Universe All Stars, and San Dimas High have had awful first two weeks. 0-2 for them all, and all playing 2-0 teams


2 – The undefeated teams aren’t top scorers – Tracy takes that mark as well as Klenk. Puddin’ Pops is the #3 scorer in the league at 242.2 points. AC, on the other hand, is somehow 2-0 having only scored 189.9 points for 10th in the league.


3 – If the playoffs started today:



Game of the WEEK:


Johnny Chimpos vs. Leisure Kings





Or should I say Johnny Chimpos vs. Matt Schaub and Chris Johnson. It seems as if 2009 is the year of the breakout star. If you happen to randomly have the one guy who goes off for the week, you can beat anybody. If you happen to play against that one guy, it is just your week to lose. A prime example is this game where Schaub and Johnson scored a combined 91.5 points. Well, I guess payback is a bitch since Tracy pulled off this stunt last week, when Brees scored 50 himself. We’ll see how these “one hit wonder” teams play for the rest of the season. This is a marathon, not a sprint and luck will only get you so far.



Gridiron Pick 'em –


Last week 3-4

Overall 3-4 (missed week 1)



Predicted Winners: Revenge of the Defeated!


Moose is Loose – Don’t know who’s worse: Cedric Benson and Steven Jackson or Pierre Thomas and Correll Buckhalter. It’s sad that’s how far S.Jax has fallen.


Evil Universe All Stars – This one will be close, but I don’t think that Devery Henderson and Julius Jones spell success. Jacobs and Grant have good matchups this week to boot.


Fear the Hoodie – If Welker and Harvin play, I think this is the second 2-0 team to go down. Yet, it is Fred Jackson’s last week in the starter’s saddle, he may make it worth it.


Team Klenk – In a battle of the devastated backfields, Klenk’s Betts might have a better game vs Detroit than Forsett vs Chicago. I’m not sure how to call this game otherwise. It will be the game of the week in my opinion.


Foam John Thomas – This is his breakout week. MJD will come alive and Chris Johnson can’t score 50 against the Jets D.


San Dimas High – If Yankovic has a shot, it’s if Brian Westbrook starts – if not, then Graham’s WR corps wins the day. Cooley has had himself a nice year too… Boss is a disappointment and I had such high hopes for him this year.


Johnny Chimpos – I think the highest scoring team this year will get off the snide this week. Puddin’ Pops has a good team, and this week the matchups are better than most, but Brees and Sproles will do it again.




Okay, that's it for this week. Leave a comment if you really hate what I said. Otherwise, your silence means only agreement.
