Week 5 Game(s) of The Week

John, I texted you about this...help yourself
There aren't many matchups that appear to be close in competition this week. However, there are two that I will have my eyes on. Wataaaaaah! v In Russ we Trust and Rolling Gazelems v Persian Lives Matter. The game that no one should care about it Cobra Kai v Tuesdays w/Megatron. TwM is displaying some of the worst team management this league has ever seen. You don't know what I mean? Look at his line up. At this hour he has three of his starters in his lineup with byes... What a joke.

However, Wataaaaah! v In Russ we Trust and Rolling Gazelems v Persian Lives Matter are interesting because:

  1. Projected to be close games
  2. Implications of winning a losing are huge, but I do a poor job of explaining why.  
Both Wataaaaah! and Persia are sitting in the top - wether by my rankings or yahoos - while In Russ We Trust and Rolling Gazelems sit just outside of the top five in the yahoo rankings; I know better and have In Russ We Trust at four in my power rankings


What is means for Wataaaaah! and Persia: A loss sets them back in standings (not completely obvious to a person who isn't too familiar with sports), but also moral of the team and managers. Who knows what the hell they will do at 3-2? Drop their best player? Start eating battery acid? It could get ugly.... Do note that Wataaaaah! has had the fifth hardest schedule, so he has earned his wins. I feel he can bounce back, but Persia has had the second easiest schedule. When it gets tough, wins will be hard to come by. So what is my point? I don't even know! Just wanted to to read some useless garbage.


What it means for Russ and Rolling: A win for both of these teams put them right back into contention, with 3-2 records, which will be most of the win/loss records (of teams that matter) after this week.

What it means for the league: Mustache Salad and Kaeptivating are looking to further distance themselves from the pack. If Russ and Rolling win, then they further themselves from the pack as most records will be 3-2 while they move to 4-1. However, if Wataaaaah! and Persia hold on and win, they will be just a game back. Thats a big difference. One to two. Huge.
