Week 2
WatchBlog picked another great game as his pick of the Week for week 2, as the 2 division leaders of the CFFFL East and West Divisions battled to a virtual tie by the end of Sunday night. Unfortunately for Cosette "My Dad says I'm grounded for losing to his division rival" Cook's Coconutycrazies, Monday happened. Trailing by less than half a point after the Sunday games, Jerry "So somehow I fall behind the team I just beat in overall rankings? Maybe I should start losing a few games..." Cook's Draft Kings just needed their last starter of the week to score practically any points at all on Monday night to secure the win - and they did just that. The 7 point victory means the Draft King remains undefeated, but due to tiebreakers, no longer holds the crown of the CFFFL East Division. For more on that, check out Week 3 - WatchBlog Games of the Week - about 2.5 inches down from right here.
Here are all the scores from Week 2:
Week 3 - WatchBlog Games of the Week
Oh look, you made it the 2.5 inches from above. Thanks for the effort. WatchBlog will try and make it worth the trip. There are 2 WatchBlog Games of the Week in the CFFFL, as the 4 remaining undefeated teams all face off against each other in an epic early season contest to settle the question of who should lead the 2 toughest divisions in the league. How can WatchBlog say they are the 2 toughest divisions? Well, the CFFFL South and East Divisions are the only divisions with undefeated teams remaining, and if the CFFFL playoffs were held today, 4 of the 6 playoff spots would come from those same 2 divisions, so, 2 weeks in, there's not much of an argument.
CFFFL South
With the title of CFFFL South Division leader on the line, the generically named Gary's Team will take on the more alliteratively named Josh's Juggernauts. The teams couldn't be more evenly matched, as their season point total differs by less than 5 points, and their projected points for Week 3 differ by only 2. While 2 undefeated teams enter this battle, only 1 undefeated team will emerge. (Well, unless there's a tie, but WatchBlog will ignore that highly improbable scenario for right now.) Gary's Team, managed by Gary "If 2 non-Cooks win this league in consecutive years, shouldn't we think about renaming this thing?" St. John will hope his consistently triple digit scoring team will be able to handle the week 2 scoring leader, Josh "My son is watching me up close and personal this year, I can't mess this one up" Cook and his up and down Juggernauts. It is impossible to know which team will win, but we do know that the winner will be undefeated in both league and division play, and will have an upper hand in securing both the South Division crown, and a first round playoff BYE.
CFFFL East
As we head East, (well, sort of, but don't focus on the geography) the second early division leader will be decided in a battle of brothers, young(er) vs. old(er). The Draft King will be out to right a perceived wrong after Yahoo! dropped him from a 2nd place ranking to a 6th place ranking, despite remaining undefeated. To make matters worse, the team knocking him from the top of the rankings was none other than the newly 1st ranked Russian Hackers, also known as his "Week 3 opponent." Jerry "Hey, I get 2 nicknames this week! - dang, I just wasted it" Cook's Draft Kings will hope to reclaim the throne of the CFFFL East from younger brother David "Ha! He just wasted a nickname commenting on it... oh... oops..." Cook's Russian Hackers who struggled to comeback and win by 1 point in a nail-biting Week 2 matchup after putting up the highest score of the season just one week earlier. It is only Week 3, but the high stakes of these games makes it feel like the playoffs are already here. Okay, not exactly. Everyone plays next week - win or lose, so the playoff thing was just a thing to say. Sorry, WatchBlog got carried away.
Should be a great weekend of fake football. Be sure and fake enjoy it. WatchBlog out.
