Looking Back at Week 11

Only a couple games till the playoffs and ALMOST everyone is still alive. Scoring was down a bit this week, but we still had some interesting matchups. And as Jones so astutely pointed out the other day, there were a lot of upsets this week.

Four of the six matchups ended in upset based on Yahoo predictions. But what was the biggest upset? Which was most impactful? 

Team Projection Actual  Team Projection Actual  Swing
Tim 1717 2119 Chris 2308 1645 1065
Steve 1883 2138 Kronner 1993 1814 434
Dave 1968 1925 Jones 2183 1794 346
Mark 2186 2097 Tigger 2150 1876 257
John 1988 2140 Kyle 2085 2110 127
Matt 2139 1676 Jason 2114 1660 41

So the biggest swing here certainly belongs to Timmy, who was projected to lose by about 600, but instead curb-stomped CTan to the tune of a near 500 point win. In the end, it was a 1065 point swing vs. Yahoo. Where Yahoo was closer to being right was in the SECOND DECK and Murphy matchup. They were off on the numbers, but they predicted a close game, and a close game we got. 

The most impactful upset is harder to nail down. All four upsets kept the winning team alive, so time will tell on this.

Other Notes…

  • The PLATINUM MATCHUP of the Week saw The Quasars not only take a W, but also slap the Mallrats back down to the Gold Level. A double-loss for Team Kronner.
  • Scoring across the board was down this week, as BE A MAN HOGAN grabbed the top mark of the week (pending stat correction) with 2140. The previous low for this year was back in Week 4 when The Tim Bradys took the crown with 2308. 
  • Barring major stat correction, Matt eked out a win over the hapless Murphy team with only 1676 points. This game featured the two highest drafted QBs in the league this year.
  • QAnon is crawling out of his Dak shaped hole and has now won 5 straight games, leap-frogging the Skippers and taking over 3rd place headed into Week 12.
  • After Week 5, CTAN had a perfect record, while Nacho Team was a pathetic 0-5. Since that time, Chris is 1-5, while Dave is 5-1.
