A Problem                                                            Issue #528

G-Force has swooped down out of the clouds and has The Cowboys locked in their crosshairs.   

 

Let’s get this out of the way quickly. The Cowboys beat Phriends of the Devil, 187-159, in a pillow fight that ended up being one of the most disappointing BIG games in OSFL history. This was a gift victory for The Cowboys, if they play anyone else, they lose. We have teams scoring 220+ on the reg and they can’t buy a victory. The Cowboys have been extremely lucky lately, but luck runs out. I’ve given The Cowboys their props for 8 weeks because they deserved it, but it’s time to acknowledge others because a 187 point win is a joke. They’re 9-0 but this is a gift from the Fantasy Gods. They lost a lot of ground in the points standings as 4 teams are now within 180 points and 2 teams are within less than 100 points of overtaking The Cowboys. Both teams scored their lowest scores of the season. Phriends of the Devil fall to 5-4 and lost major ground in points to division leaders XXXL.   

 

The real enemy to The Cowboys throne has revealed themselves. G-Force is a problem. Let’s put this week into perspective. The Cowboys had one minor BYE and they scored their lowest scores of the season and squeaked out a win. G-Force had their 2 best RB’s on a BYE (Saquon Barkley and Quinshon Judkins) and took down their 3rd high score (2nd in a row), beating Allbrite Picks, 296-225. G-Force has won 3 in a row and is still mathematically alive for the division title. G-Force has scored 239+ points 7 times, more than ANY team in the OSFL in 2025. You want to crown the Cowboys champions, then crown their asses, but what I can see is the only way The Cowboys make it out of the Southern Comfort division is if G-Force lets them off the hook. Stay tuned. It was a brutal loss for Allbrite Picks who fall to last place in the ever changing Metro West division.                   

 

G-Force wasn’t the only team sitting at the high roller table. XXXL is a problem for everyone in the Metro West division. Finally after a month of looking at Phriends of the Devil out their side window, POTD are now clearly in the rear view and XXXL is stepping on the gas. XXXL held off G’ss Mafia, 251-247, to improve to a division best 6-3 record and they have the top offense in their division. XXXL has been the team to beat in the Metro West division since day one. G’ss Mafia lost a tough one but I’m going to put a positive spin on this because for the first time in over a month and a half, G’ss Mafia showed stability in their offense. Bronx Swag might have saved their season with a BIG win over Dynamic Duo, 243-222. Led by Christian McCaffrey/65 points who logged 30+ touches for the 4th time this season. CMC is mystifying and amazing and I’m going to do a deep dive in Bronx Swag’s game. Bronx Swag improved to 4-5 and vaulted from 5th to third with this win. The Metro West division is crazy. Dynamic Duo falls to 2-7 and their season is on life support. TWB saved their season with a massive upset over Showtime, 249-219. Rookie Kyle Monangai led the way with the best game by any rookie RB in 2025 - 176 rush yards/63.8 points. TWB improved to 2-7 but aren’t mathematically eliminated yet. Showtime falls to 4-5. 3 All The Way saved their season by holding off The Wolfpack, 209-202. 3ATW survived a CJ Stroud injury and were lead to victory by a massive game from Dalton Kincaid/54 points. 3ATW improved to 4-5 and move into 4th place. It was a heartbreaking loss for The Wolfpack who fall to 4-5, but remain in 4th place.

 

The Cowboys remain undefeated even as their offense stumbles. G-Force and XXXL reaffirm themselves as top contenders. Everyone else is jockeying for position or fighting for their lives.                                    

 

Games of the Week: Week 9

Week 9: 4-2/Season (22-20)

 

Phriends of the Devil (5-4) Vs The XXXL 69ers (6-3)

Last weeks match up between Phriends of the Devil and The Cowboys turned out to be a dud. POTD is thrown right back into the fray against first place XXXL, who have pulled a game ahead for the Metro West division lead. This is just the appetizer, these teams will play in 3 weeks again, in a game that could decide the division title. POTD comes into this game off of their worst game of the season. Kon wanted the credit for the Cowboys successes and we gave some but he’s got to take the brunt of the blame for this teams midseason malaise. This is a good team that has underperformed, but lineup mistakes have been made several times thus far. I’m sure The Cowboys owners learned things from their time with Kon, but hopefully Kon learned a thing or two from his former teammates specifically Ron Zednik. What Ron is a master of is bringing new people into the fold and listening to their ideas and letting them grow. I don’t know what actually goes on there but the proof is in the pudding, 4 OSFL championships with a different 3rd wheel every time. Marc, Mr Renzi and Kon need to pull it together and get back in this fight. They all need to be playing from the same sheet of music. This team is too good to be floundering around like they did last week. It’s kind of shocking that Josh Allen only has one 300 yard game (in week 1) and cracked 250 pass yards just twice over the last 7 games. He’s thrown 3 TD’s in a game once this season, against this weeks opponent Miami in week 3. If you remove Allen’s massive week 1 game (84 points), Allen is averaging 42.4 PPG, which would rank him 10th instead of 4th. Allen is overdue for a big game. Jahmyr Gibbs/13.3 points in week 9, had the worst game of his career. The 25 rush yards in a game was the second worst of his career. In the 2nd game of his rookie season, Gibbs rushed for 17 yards, but he caught 7 passes for 39 yards in that game. Gibbs compiled a disastrous 9-25/3-3 receiving with 0 TD last week. We all knew about the red flags coming in. Lions OC Ben Johnson left to coach Chicago. All-Pro center Frank Ragnow retired and David Montgomery returned after missing the final 3 games of 2024. We knew this but no one expected the inconsistency or more so the ineffectiveness from a RB who looked so good last season. Gibbs scored 65 points in week 7, but sandwiched two sub 20 point games around that game. It’s unacceptable. The Lions have one of the most explosive young players in the NFL and you’re giving him the ball 12 times? It’s joke. The Lions offense boasts some of the nastiest offensive weapons in the NFL and they’re getting waxed by The Minnesota Vikings who have a QB with 3 games of experience who has yet to throw for 160 yards or complete 15 passes in a game and a RB who’s 58 years old. Something has to change because the Lions are too good to be blowing games against inferior opponents. Rachaad White and DeVonta Smith return which should give this offense a much needed boost, but they lose Javonte Williams/31.6 PPG to his BYE. Williams has been one of the biggest surprises of 2025, but he has put up a couple of stinkers over the last 4 weeks. Something to monitor. The Chicago Bears scored 47 points and Rome Odunze didn’t catch a pass? Odunze is dealing with a foot injury but he played 80% of the snaps, more than any Bears player in week 9, except Caleb Williams. I just don’t get it. POTD started Parker Washington last week and he scored 25 points. With Travis Hunter set to miss the next 4 games due to an injury and Brian Thomas Jr mired in a lost season, Washington looked like a great play and might still be, but The Jaguars traded for Jakobi Meyers this week. Oronde Gadsden II continued his impressive run. He has caught at least 5 passes for 68 yards in 4 consecutive games. Basically off of 4 games, Gadsden II has cracked the top 10 TE’s. 

XXXL have had an outstanding season. Ron Du and Ralph Campano have been in first place all season long. They have never not had at least a piece of first place. Even if they lose this game, they’ll be in first place. XXXL has some major BYE’s including Patrick Mahomes the #2 overall scorer averaging 48.2 PPG, Travis Kelce/20 PPG and Tee Higgins/19.2 PPG, who stepped up last week and was a main reason XXXL secured a victory over G’ss Mafia. Replacing those 3 studs will be Justin Fields, Quentin Johnston and Hunter Henry. That’s not exactly the Dream Team. Fields has a tough matchup against Cleveland, but Johnston has a phenomenal matchup against a Steelers secondary that can’t stop anyone. Henry’s matchup against Tampa Bay isn’t the best but he has a knack for finding the end zone. De’Von Achane/33 PPG is Miami’s best offensive weapon. His week 9 opponent (The Bills) have been shredded by the run. Achane scored 29 points the first time they played. Travis Etienne finally had a bounce back game, scoring 32.5 points against the Raiders but he faces a tough Houston Texans defense. Tyrone Tracy had a rough outing in week 9, scoring just 12.2 points and got out-touched by Devin Singletary 10 to 8. Davante Adams has had back to back 30+ point games and scored 5 TD’s during those 2 games. Puka Nacua is dealing with a rib injury. If for any reason Nacua misses time, Adams’s usage should increase. Amon-Ra St. Brown/31.7 PPG is part of a dysfunctional Lions offense but he continued a 7 consecutive games streak of hauling in 6+ receptions. If POTD lose this game they can pretty much kiss any hopes they had at capturing the division title goodbye. This is a must win game. This is not a must win game for XXXL who should remain in first place even with a loss. I find it hard to believe that Allen and Gibbs and Odunze and the rest of this underperforming offense continues to stumble. Kon did give a statement after last weeks loss saying he was embarrassed and disappointed. He passed along congratulations to his former teammates and said to watch this week. I know this means less than zero, but based on their scores over the first 9 weeks of the season, if they played head to head every week, XXXL would be 6-3 against POTD. XXXL is clearly less than 100% this week, but the great teams find a way to win. I do not like Justin Fields’s match up and I believe Josh Allen and Jahmyr Gibbs both have BIG games. If Mahomes was playing it’s a different story, but I’m taking Phriends of the Devil to bounce back and win.  

     

G’ss Mafia (5-3) Vs G-Force (6-3)

We’re going to find out what G’ss Mafia is made of in week 10. I know what G-Force is made of. They proved over the last 3 weeks they’re the best team in the OSFL. I know the Cowboys are 9-0, but their offense hasn’t been on the same level as G-Forces over the last 3 weeks. In weeks 7, 8 and 9, G-Force scored the 2nd highest score and then back to back weekly high scores. Everything is starting to jell for the Guenette’s. Saquon Barkley returned  from his BYE to have his best game of the season (150 yards and 2 TD’s/75.4 points). Don’t let him get hot. Brock Bowers returned after missing a month to have his highest scoring game of his career (12-127 and 3 TDs/85 points). Bowers scored 4 TD’s total in 2024. Rashee Rice is a baller. He’s scored 4 TD’s since returning 3 weeks ago. There are so many things going right for G-Force. They have the #1 overall point scorer Justin Herbert/52 PPG and he’s scored at least 52 points in each of his last 3 games. Kyren Williams had his first 100+ yard game of the season. These are 5 extremely high end offensive weapons G-Force has in Herbert, Barkley, Bowers, Rice and Williams. No one in the OSFL has that much top tier talent when they bring their A game. When I say this team is a problem, this team is a problem for everyone. Quinshon Judkins got a little banged up last week, but he’s another weapon who has put up solid numbers more often than not. This offense does have weak spots. The real Deebo Samuel has reared his ugly head. Samuel isn’t running at all and he’s compiled 67 total receiving yards over the last 4 weeks. Alvin Kamara has been a warrior for the better part of the last decade, but he’s dying a slow death in front of our eyes. His usage over the last 2 games has been 8 and 7 touches. The last time Kamara compiled 15 or less touches over 2 consecutive games was in the second and third games of his career during his rookie season. Alvin Kamara is playing the Carolina Panthers this week. If we don’t see signs of life this week, Kamara may be cooked. Khalil Shakur/17.9 PPG is the second best WR on the roster at the moment.

G’ss Mafia has a big hill to climb to get by G-Force. G’s Mafia has some weapons like Justin Jefferson and Rico Dowdle, but they don’t have the horses to match G-Forces offensive attack, no one does. It’s not just G’ss Mafia, when G-Force is healthy and they’re all on the field, there isn’t a team in the OSFL who can match them player for player. Jefferson is great player, but I wrote about this earlier. His QB is JJ McCarthy, a player who has 3 career starts and yet to complete 15 passes or pass for 160 yards in any game. That is a problem for Jefferson. Rico Dowdle is the best player on this roster. He’s 3rd in the NFL with 735 rush yards. Dowdle has only started 3 games all season. Breece Hall put up BIG numbers in week 8. It was the first time in his career he rushed for 100+ yards and rushed for 2 TD’s in a game and he threw/completed the first pass of his career for a TD. He was playing the Bengals. Breece Hall isn’t playing the Bengals every week. This week he’s facing Cleveland. JK Dobbins has been solid all season. Dobbins and Bo Nix played on Thursday night in an ugly, ugly game. Marvin Harrison Jr. set a career high with 7 receptions in week 9. The Cardinals have some brutal match ups coming up. Brian Thomas Jr. has caught more 5 or more passes in a game twice all season. He is having a dreadful season. G’ss Mafia looks like they’re make a switch to Romeo Doubs/17.7 PPG who has outplayed Thomas Jr all season. Sam LaPorta has scored 22+ points in 3 of his last 4 games. G’ss Mafia has a decent team. It would take a complete collapse for them not to make the playoffs. I just think G-Force is on another level. G-Force will be without Rashee Rice who is on his BYE. I’m taking G-Force for the win.       

 

The Cowboys (9-0) Vs The Wolfpack (4-5)

The Cowboys are still the reigning, defending, undisputed, undefeated champions. They’re also overextended on luck. They don’t have a horseshoe up their ass, they have the whole horse up their ass. The Cowboys scored 187 points last week and won. Five times this season they’ve faced teams that scored below 190 points and won everyone one of those games, including 3 of their last 4 opponents. They were the least scored upon team in 2024 and they’ve been the least scored upon team in 2025 thru the first 9 weeks. That’s not going to last forever. But here we go again, The Wolfpack will be without their #2 WR CeeDee Lamb who is on a BYE. You can’t make this shit up. Baker Mayfield had his first bad game of the season before the BYE. He returns this week against the Patriots defense that’s a bit overrated. Tampa Bay is the toughest team they’ve played in a month. Jaylen Warren’s numbers aren’t pretty but he is effective. Warren scored his first 2 rushing TD’s of the season in week 9 and he’s been a top 24 RB all season. Aaron Jones had a season high 11 touches and 78 rush yards last week, as the Vikings continue to ramp up his usage and lean on the run in their offense. Woody Marks/Nick Chubb are hit and miss, but Marks is more prevalent in the passing game. We don’t know yet how much the Houston offense changes with Davis Mills as the QB. It’s been 3 years since he’s started a game. Jaxon Smith-Njigba continues to play at an MVP level. JSN had his 5th 100+ yard game and 4th consecutive 40+ point game of the season in week 9. There’s no question that JSN will be The Wolfpack’s keeper (3rd round) in 2026. He’s the only WR in the top 20 overall scorers and one of only 5 non-QB’s in the top 20. Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey face the Steelers in prime time on Sunday night. The Steelers have one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. Jaylen Ramsey is one of the most overrated players in NFL history. He gets burnt on almost every play. Darius Slay is 34 years old and starting at CB. The Chargers could light the Steelers secondary on fire. David Njoku is starting at TE for The Wolfpack against a Jets defense that just traded away it’s 2 best players (Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner - both former All-Pros). They also have Cade Otton facing the Patriots who have allowed the 5th most points to TE’s in 2025. 

The Cowboys enter this contest with QB Dak Prescott/46 PPG and TE Jake Ferguson/23.7 PPG. Jordon Love will replace Dak. Jordan Love has put up good numbers against weak pass defenses and bad numbers against strong pass defenses. Love’s week 10 opponent The Philadelphia Eagles have yet to allow a 300 yard passer and have held opposing QB’s to under 200 yards passing 5 times. I think Jordan Love is in for a long night on Monday night. The Cowboys also have Josh Jacobs who has scored 21 TD’s over his last 16 games, including at least 1 TD in 15 of those 16 games. Jacobs is ultra consistent but both he and Love are facing an Eagles team that finally looked like the reigning Super Bowl champions last week. I don’t like it. Jonathan Taylor had his worst game of the season last week against the Steelers, who have a terrible pass defenses but a great rush defense. Taylor faces the Falcons who’ve allowed the 12th most rush yards. Taylor has scored 40+ 6 times. The only Non-QB with more 40+ point games is Christian McCaffrey with 7. Taylor is going to have a good game, you only hope he doesn’t have a great game. The Cowboys traded Stefon Diggs and a pick to Showtime for Zach Charbonnet. The Cowboys already have Kenneth Walker. I love this move. This is a veteran move. You are supposed to be acquiring your handcuffs. It’s that time. This is a championship type of move. I’m not saying Charbonnet is a great player, I’m saying if he or Walker get hurt, the other back will get a boost in usage. Believe it or not, the highest scoring WR on The Cowboys roster is Rashid Shaheed/21.2 PPG, a player that has never been in their starting lineup once this season. Shaheed was traded to the Seahawks this week. This is a 9-0 team that has never used it’s highest scoring WR. I don’t know if that’s overkill, stupidity, pride, I don’t know what it is, it’s a mystery. Zay Flowers has been consistent, catching 5+ passes in all but one game this season. Someday someone will study DK Metcalf’s career and figure out why such a physically gifted and talented WR was so severely underused. Metcalf had 2 catches for 6 yards last week. Metcalf has caught 4 or fewer passes in 6 of 8 games. I’m a BIG fan of Jordan Addison but if I was the Cowboys I would be extremely worried that his drop in production last week is a harbinger of things to come. I do not like what I’ve seen from JJ McCarthy and I do not trust JJ McCarthy. If you name is not Justin Jefferson, I would be worried, and even Jefferson should be worried a little. Dallas Goedert has scored 7 TD’s over his last 6 games. The Cowboys luck is going to run out at some point and there is enough here for The Wolfpack to challenge The Cowboys. I just hesitate to call the upset when the #1 offense is facing the 11th ranked offense. You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain. Make no mistake, The Cowboys are villains in this story. You cannot go this far into a season undefeated and not have every teams target trained on you. If the Cowboys win it will be the second longest single season undefeated streak in OSFL history (only TWB’s 14-0 2013 season is longer). The Cowboys have won 12 games in a row dating back to last season. They are 2 wins away from tying TWB’s OSFL’s all-time winning streak. Things are going so well that the only thing Vin Roc is worried about is officially naming the Cowboys team song to be “Who let the dogs out, woof, woof, woof.” I think it’s going to be close, but I’m compelled to take The Cowboys for the win.                                                    

 

3 All The Way (4-5) Vs Bronx Swag (4-5) 

Both 3 All the way and Bronx Swag battled their way to victories in week 9 to move back into playoff dominant positions. Neither team can let their foot off the gas because The Metro West division is dangerously tight. One win or loss moving forward can inch them closer to the top of the division or push them to the outside looking in. Bronx Swag has the third most points in the division and they’re getting their top WR Garrett Wilson back from injury/BYE. Unfortunately they enter this contest with heavy BYE’s specifically at RB. Bronx Swag will be without the services of Chase Brown/24 PPG and Tony Pollard/19.3 PPG. Brown has strung together 3 consecutive 30+ point games. Bronx Swag still has their MVP Christian McCaffrey/44.9 PPG who has more 40+ point games (7) than any other non-QB in the OSFL. CMC is averaging 25.4 touches per game (most in the NFL) and has compiled 1222 total yards (also most in the NFL). CMC as a fantasy player is top 10, probably top 5 overall. As a RB, he’s cooked. His speed and elusiveness are gone. He’s averaged less than 3.2 yards per carry in 6 of 9 games. His yearly 3.5 YPC is the lowest of his career. His longest run of the season is 16 yards. He only has 2 rushes of more than 9 yards this season. Don’t get what I’m saying confused. As a fantasy producer he’s still a monster because he’s being fed on an unfathomable level, but he is shot as a RB, it’s over. Tony Pollard has more left in the tank as a rusher than CMC. I know it’s hard to hear, you don’t want to believe it, you think I’m crazy but he no longer passes the eye test as a rusher and the numbers support a runner who’s slipping badly. It doesn’t mean he’s going to stop producing, on the contrary, he’s still producing at a very high level based on usage and his exceptional receiving skills. Bronx Swag is forced to use a Hail Mary play at their other RB spot because of their BYE’s. Jaret Patterson is a back up, to a back up, to a back up on a team that just lost their best offensive linemen but there was nothing else left out there. Since Tyreek Hill went down, Jaylen Waddle has scored 20+ points in 4 of 5 games. Tez Johnson has stepped in when all other Tampa Bay WR’s have fallen. Johnson has scored at least 14+ points in 4 games. Bronx Swag will go double TE with Mark Andrews who scored 2 TDs upon Lamar Jackson’s return. Jackson and Andrew combined for 72+ points last week. Colston Loveland had a breakout game last week, catching 2 TD’s including the game winning 58 yard TD late in the 4th quarter. 

3 All The Way jumped out to an early lead on Thursday night as rookie Ashton Jeanty scored above his 27.5 PPG average with 28.8 points, but Courtland Sutton continued to stumble with just 8.4 points after a hot start to the season. For the first time since making the trade for AJ Brown, 3 All The Way will have both Brown and Puka Nacua in the starting line up at the same time, which is a very scary duo. Nacua has yet to score less than 32 points in a game he’s finished. Last time AJ Brown played, he scored 46 points. 3ATW also have the Jalen Hurt/AJ Brown hook up and Hurts is on fire, having hit a bonus and thrown 7 TD’s over his last 2 games. Hurts has cracked the top 5 QB’s, averaging 46.5 PPG. Dalton Kincaid is wildly inconsistent, but when he’s on, he’s nasty. In week 5, Kincaid logged his first 100+ yard game. In week 9, he logged his first 100+ yard and a TD game, scoring the highest score of his career with 54 points. 3ATW will be without Kareem Hunt who is on his BYE. Bam Knight gets another start. Bam Knight is not very good, but at this juncture they don’t have any other options. They have Bhayshul Tuten in the starting line, wow. You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do, but I don’t know if I’m starting Tuten against Houston over TJ Hockenson, even though Hockenson hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire. I think both QB’s and CMC/Puka cancel each other out. If you look at it that way, I like 3ATW’s supporting cast better than Bronx Swag’s this week. AJ Brown and Kincaid are capable of more than anything else Swag has. We don’t know what version of Garrett Wilson we get against a tough Cleveland defense. I’m taking 3ATW to win.                                    

 

Allbrite Picks (3-6) Vs. Showtime (4-5) 

The loser of this game is going to be in a little bit of trouble moving forward. If Showtime loses, they fall to 4-6 with the least points in the division. If Allbrite Picks loses they fall to 3-7, at least 2 games behind the 4th place team with 4 games remaining after this week. This is a must win game for both teams. Showtime enters this contest with no BYE’s, they are completely whole. A month ago Matthew Stafford scored 66 points against his week 10 opponent, the San Francisco 49ers. Stafford is tied for the NFL lead with 21 passing TD’s. Few teams can match Showtime’s RB duo of James Cook/Bijan Robinson, Allbrite Picks certainly cannot. Sometimes Bijan Robinson’s rushing numbers leave little to be desired. Robinson has failed to rush for 50 yards in his last 3 consecutive games. Robinson makes up for his substandard rushing numbers with exceptional, CMC like receiving stats. Bijan set a career high with 8 receptions last week and his two 100+ yard receiving games are the most he’s ever had in one season. With 25 more yards, Bijan sets a single season best in receiving yards with half an NFL season to go. James Cook has almost no receiving game, but he’s been the second best rusher in the NFL this season. Cook has 5 -100+ yard games and 7 TD’s in 8 games (25 TD’s over his last 24 games). The BIG Show traded Zach Charbonnet to The Cowboys for Stefon Diggs and a pick. Diggs is a much needed addition as Showtime’s WR group was led by WanDale Robinson. Diggs has the most (2) TD’s and (2) 100 yard games. Jakobi Meyers was traded to Jacksonville this week. It remains to be seen what his role is will be going forward. Christian Watson will make another start for Showtime this week. Tyler Warren has cooled off over the last 2 games after a torrid start. This is a brutal match up for Warren. The Falcons allow the least amount of (7.6) points per game to the TE position. 

Allbrite Picks enters this game without George Pickens who is on his BYE, Jayden Daniels is hurt again and Tucker Kraft, who last week I talked about being a potential keeper, is done for the season. Daniels season has gone the way of a lot of sophomore players in 2025. Marcus Mariota hasn’t been terrible, scoring 35+ points in each of his 3 starts. Mariota hasn’t killed Allbrite but his record is 1-2. The one win was against G’ss Mafia who scored 146 points (the second lowest score of the season). The loss of Kraft is devastating. They did pick up Luke Musgrave who could potentially put up similar production moving forward. On Thursday night, RJ Harvey compiled 6 touches and scored just 7.8 points. After a month of inconsistency, Derrick Henry/29.3 PPG has stabilized and scored 31+ points in 3 consecutive games. Jordan Mason hasn’t been the same since Aaron Jones has returned. Mason has had his two worst games of the season in succession. Allbrite needs their WR’s to come up BIG this week. Drake London has hit 3 - 100+ yard bonuses and scored 5 TD’s in his last 4 starts. He is the only WR Michael Penix looks at. The benching of Spencer Rattler and the arrival of Tyler Shough resulted in Chris Olave’s worst game of the season (3-57/11.7 points). Olave was only targeted 4 times and it was the first time all season he failed to catch 5 passes in a game. The Saints are in a lot of trouble. Emeka Egbuka will most likely enter week 10 finally healthy. Dalton Shultz has hit 2 - 70+ yard bonuses in his last 3 games. I think Allbrite Picks is in a little bit of trouble in this game, in this season. It’s tough to lose your starting QB and the #1 TE at the time he got hurt and continue on business as usual. This is a crazy game. It’s impossible to map out the absolute direction of anyones season over the course of a full 14 weeks. You just never know what’s going to be thrown at you. Anything can happen in any game. We don’t know who will be hurt this week, on either side, but at a certain point you have to realistic. Allbrite Picks is ripe for the picking. If Showtime loses this game, they have no one to blame but themselves. I’m taking a Showtime to win. 

         

Two Weeks of Bacon (2-7) Vs. Dynamic Duo (2-7)

If Allbrite Picks vs Showtime is a must win situation, TWB vs Dynamic Duo is an even dire situation. By record these are the two worst teams in the OSFL. Realistically even the winner still needs help to make the playoffs. There’s only one team in the OSFL who hasn’t scored below 200 points in any game this season: Dynamic Duo. We shouldn’t be here, but we are. In the fight of our lives with our best player (Ja’Marr Chase/38.5 PPG) on a BYE. You have to take what you get. We are going to do what any of you would do. We’re going to fight until there’s no fight left. Last week, Dynamic Duo played Caleb Williams over Joe Flacco at QB. I can;t be mad at Williams, he scored 69 points, the best game of his career, but so did Joe Flacco (470 and 4 TD’s/96 points).  If we play Flacco we win. We made the best decision we could based on the information we had. Flacco had a shoulder injury. Didn’t want to start a 41 year old QB with a shoulder injury. It is what it is. That break down is for anyone looking at what we could have done, we don’t play this game that way. You 69 points from your QB, he did his job and then some. Dynamic Duo’s issue last week was the late scratch of D’Andre Swift. I wrote about it last week. I said losing a 30 PPG player was too much to overcome and that’s exactly what happened. No one knows your team better than you do. I’ve called the games down to the exact scenario’s of how they’ll play out. RB has been a problem all year long. We need Swift. Right now he’s questionable but expected to go. Kimani Vidal had a rough outing last week and faces another tough test against Pittsburgh this week. The Chargers lost their best offensive lineman Joe Alt for the season. When it rains it pours. Losing Alt affects the entire Chargers offense in a negative way. Jacory-Croskey-Merritt need to do more. If we could bench him we would, but we’re dealing with so many injuries he stays in the starting line up. We tried to force Brashard Smith into the starting lineup but that was a mistake. Devin Singletary out-touched (10 to 8) and outperformed (13.1 to 12.2 points) Tyrone Tracy last week. The Giants are dealing with so many injuries, Singletary will get touches by default. Michael Pittman Jr./24 PPG  has cracked the top 10 WR’s. Tre Tucker only scored 8 points on Thursday night but he had a TD called back. Trey McBride scored his 4th TD over his last 3 games. 

Drake Maye has been outstanding, throwing 2+ TD’s in 7 of 9 games. Kyle Monangai/63.8 points had more (176) rush yards in week 9 than he had in the previous 5 games combined and almost as many rush yards as he came into the game with (186 rush yards thru week 8). Monangai had a great game but he rushed for 176 yards and didn’t score and he played the Bengals who can’t stop anyone. Monangai definitely earned more touches moving forward but he’s not as versatile as Swift. David Montgomery/23.7 PPG has more points than any RB on this roster. TreVeyon Henderson had his best game of the season (18 touches/23.7 points) in week 9 and still lost a TD to un-drafted Terrell Jennings. Nico Collins/18 PPG has not had a great season but he could still go off on a moments notice. Jauan Jennings has slowly ramped up production over the last month. Troy Franklin/16.7 PPG has been solid, scoring 4 TD’s over the last 4 games. He scored 21 points on Thursday night. The 2025 version of George Kittle isn’t remotely close to last years version. Kittle compiled 1000+ receiving yards in 2024. Entering week 10, Kittle has 100 combined receiving yards. TWB’s defense - the Denver Broncos scored their highest score of 2025. I called TWB’s upset last week and said they should have their highest score in a while and they scored 249 points, the highest score since week 3 and it was .05 from matching their high score the year. I do not see TWB matching that number this week. I think a low 200 or sub 200 point score could win this game. TWB has dealt with massive amounts of injuries and they’re still battling. I think this game is a true toss up. Two team who never thought they’d be in this spot, getting pushed closer to the brink of elimination. I’m taking Dynamic Duo because I just don’t believe the fight has left us yet, but I don’t have much more than that to go on. We live to fight another day.
