HTPB 21.8

Former league member and 2022 draft helper, Bart's father is in ICU currently and his family could use some prayers from the HTPB family. Once a member, always a member.  Bloodfarts, we got you. 

Some teams were tricked while for others it was a treat.  Let's take a look with this spooooooky recap.

Hardcore Cabinet was looking good until Big Nasty Express' Christian McCaffery went and popped Hardcore in the mouth and popped it in his butt. For the second consecutive week, HC choice in below average QB cost them a victory to drop them to 4-4.  Despite 8 touchdowns, BNE was able to overcome with 9 of their own.  Hardcore Cabinet was lost to Christian McCaffery twice this season already.  BNE defensive coordinator record pulls to 3-4-1 and after a slow start the defense has stepped up.  I hope Nick chokes on his 2 Samoan Tala.

Rush'n Missiles handed a loss and maybe the Toilet Trophy to his brother in law, Italian Stallions this week.  While Cory feasted on candy that he stole from children so he could finally feel dominant in any moment of his life, Travis Etienne feasted on tea and crumpets in London.  Might as well call the Italian Stallions the Italian Giselles because they are sick of Tom Brady's bullshit.  This will be brought up at Thanksgiving and hopefully the family is thankful that Kevin even talks to them despite the hot garbage that these two HTPB franchises are most years.    

The double decker attack of Hurts and Brown smashed Ogre's Death Squad, no tight end needed.  Bricklayers remains undefeated and going like a buzz saw through the league.  Ogre's Death Squad continues to put up tons of points for hard luck losses.  A vintage Derrick Henry performance made it close, but the Ogre takes another loss.  ODS was not able to protect his undefeated season nor his playoff chances for the 2022 one.  

Here in week 8, more than halfway through the fantasy season, The Collegians have broken the 100 point barrier for the first time this season to somehow pull to 4-4 and IS CURRENTLY A PLAYOFF TEAM!!!! I would say that the Collegians have brought their stink to their opponent every week but Blue Gatorade has only two wins and JTT has been bringing him down. It would be great for BG to have to take the Toilet Trophy to his dorm room next year, where zero girls will ever see it so don't worry. 

Somehow Bay-Bay's keeps winning and Jeremy's Brother keeps losing. Although Jason was able to defend the honor of all Browns fans at the end of the game, footage shown here of Jason doing god's work.  (lower case god because I'm sure upper case God was not a fan of that, Jason)  Four straight losses have JB in danger of not making the playoffs for the first time in his HTPB career.  Bay-Bay's continues to be super lucky in his matchups and is somehow one spot out of the playoffs despite having the lowest point total in the league. 

With bye weeks wreaking havoc on Eh Bid Dude, his undefeated season was amputated like one of his toes.  Dollars took advantage to move to 5-3 despite being 10th in the league in points. The league has been focused on the pixie dust being sprinkled over the dumpster fires of TC and BB but lets not forget that Dollars has been snorting some of that shit too.  With injuries to Zeke and Chase, EBD needs his studs to stay healthy but his depth has been weakened a bit.  The great start should allow him to ride out a few possibly bumpy weeks. 

The Zapatistas were the latest victim of the silent assassin.  I don't think Kevin even reads these blogs.  Kevin if you are reading this did you order those Sonic comics for Quinn for Christmas?  I know you have all people would never want to damage the magic of Christmas for a little girl.  Los Zapatistas good run has been stopped by the Breece Hall season ending injury.  Los Zapatistas managed to bring home a win from the Browns games without admitting to a crime in the thread and I for one will continue to have Sergio bring home NFL wins and HTPB losses.  Every since Josh left the league, I have been without someone to fantasy hate.  It feels so good to have the shoes filling those....well....shoes.   

    

Skynet has some interesting data this week.  It still has the top three in the league as playoff locks.  Here's everyone else's playoff chances.  HC 93% $ 92% LZ 72% ODS 51% JB 45% BNE 27% BG 12% BB 9% TC 5% IS 4% RM 2%.

Toilet odds (A couple of other teams have less than 3% chance)  BG 10% BB 13% TC 15% IS 7% RM 30%
