It was quite the week 1 in the 20th season of HTPB. This week saw the creation of a new blood feud, as Dollars questioned the manhood of his opponent and the league commissioner over the healthy scratch of Trey Sermon. Words were thrown and it was the Italian Stallions who came in with their own Sermon on the Mount preaching love. In the end it mattered no,t as Dollars cruised to victory over ODS led by the week's top non QB score of 31.95 from Amari Cooper from Thursday night. Dollars received nary a vote in the weekly pick'em even from himself.
The week featured mainly beat downs, but one game was extremely close. SMBR and IS and a BIL battle that came down to overtime on Monday night. Lamar Jackson's late fumble have the IS the victory and made SMBR the unfortunate distinction of being the only tough luck loser in the league as the top 7 scoring teams went 6-1. SMBR can ease their pain with knowing that their 59.85 points for WR/WR/TE earned them the weekly positional bet.
Hardcore Cabinet avenged their Super Bowl loss led by two of the weeks top scorers, #1 overall Kyler Murray and Adam Thielen who are ironically the two players remaining from last year's runner up squad. Bricklayers made 386 moves between the draft and week 1 and maybe it would have been move 387 that would have made up the 38 point difference.
Los Zapatistas were gifted the Honda, for beat down of the week. That Honda won't need a lot of trunk space to hold all of keeper, Brandon Aiyuk, points. 0.14 all on return yardage. A yuk! Which gave him 6.99 in the weekly bet from Aiyuk, the corpse of Julio Jones, and Robert Tonyan The Collegians 5 twenty point scorers will give him the weekly high point total win. Collegians had league high running back Joe Mixon, carry the load.
The Collegians 54.38 in the weekly bet would have given Rush'n Missiles a run for their money as a team. RM put up the weekly low of 67.13, led by .43 out of Jeopardy host Aaron Rodgers who scored .43 more points than deceased Jeopardy host Alex Trebek did this week. Big Cat Crushers, cruised to easy win in the first week of his swan song season.
Eh Bid Dude led the entire way over Big Nasty Express, who was derailed early from a -0.60 from Ronald Jones. EBD spent the weekend crowing about not being picked to win the game in the picks that he thinks are stupid and pointless. A huge Darren Waller, Monday night game made the score look closer than it was Russell Wilson, DeAndre Hopkins, and Jamaal Williams were too much for BNE to make it close.
In a battle of the two shortest members of the league, Tinker Stinkers defeated Blue Gatorade by 14 in a decently close battle. Tinker Stinkers used Nick Chubb to break the stalemate as most of their rosters under performed aside from the quarterbacks. Tinker Stinkers proved that they in fact "Had the Meats!" and moved to 1-0.
