Out of the sandbox

 A very successful week last week going 4-1 has improved our season record to 29-21, but no one cares about us, this is about all of you, and the league is really starting to take shape. Ryan has a two game lead, but we still have six teams between 6-4 and 4-6 so a lot can change still. The big news of the week so far was the blockbuster trade Sloney and Derek pulled off. Derek getting Josh Jacobs, Tee Higgins, Kyle Monangai and a 2nd round pick for Derrick Henry, Emeka Egbuka, Jameson Williams and a first round pick. Vegas has already given Sloney the early odds for the favorite to win the 2026 title. But we can not get too far ahead of ourselves, how about week 11 of 2025 first.  Golden Gate 5-5 (153.99) vs. Go Blue 9-2 (135.96) The projections have changed from when we started writing this to when we will finish it I'm sure once the trade that rocks the league goes through, and once Derek changes his players around and will have the projections back on his side. The matchup...

 After going 3-2 last week, the writing staff's record for the season is now 25-20. Though we do feel we should get a little credit in the Santino vs. Tirico match, which we called for a tie at 123.45 and Tirico's actual points was 123.52, so pretty darn close, but Bambino was off by over 30 points for our predictions, so we digress. Let's get right into week 10, where we once again have Sunday football from 930am est till Sunday night.  William & Williams Associates 7-2 (119.60) vs. Hearts of Chaos 5-4 (123.69) This matchup gets going tonight with Bowers playing for DP, and then there is someone in this matchup going Sunday at 930, 1, 4, 820 and Monday night. DP needs to add a kicker still, but once he does the projections will slip back over to his side. G-Money has just had one of those years with injury after injury and really all he has at this point is the greatest and best QB ever, and friend of the league being Sloney's close and personal friend since the Wy...

Sadly, we went 2-3 last week, dropping our season record to 22-18. The season is really picking up however, with every team, well almost every team, still having playoff implications. With that in mind, we need to get right to this week's matchups. Go Blue 7-1 (122.86) vs. Hearts of Chaos 5-3 (107.57) The projections have the Wiseguy getting a pretty easy win this week, and that is even before they add a defense playing. The Comish is definitely hoping he can trick his way to a win this week, so this matchup is brought to you by: “I Put A Spell On You” By Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker & Kathy Najimy | Hocus Pocus The matchup gets off to a big start on Thursday night, as Lamar Jackson is back under center for the former Dean, and has Miami this week, then Minnesota, Cleveland, Jets, and then the Bengals before playing the Steelers, and then having the Bengals again. In other words, here comes the Ravens. G-Money is hoping all of Lamar's points go to Mark Andrews, but ev...

A disappointing 2-3 week last week brings the writing staffs record to 20-15 on the season. But no one reads this for us, let's get to the matchups here in week 8.  Puka Mi-Puka Yu 4-3 (119.52) vs. Cincy BallZac 5-2 (94.07) Big time matchup this week that projections wise will change once DP adds a defense that is playing. This is a good time to play DP for BMR it would seem, as Aaron Jones Jr is at least practicing, and while the team's namesake and Omarion Orlando Hampton are still on IR he is playing DP while Bowers is still out, and on bye, as well as Williams, St. Brown and Hunter. Timing is everything folks. This matchup gets going on Thursday and goes all weekend long, ending on Monday night, and we do feel like it will be close, but right team right time for Best Man Robb, he wins 121-119. Because of that, this matchup is brought to you by: The Wedding Singer (1/6) Movie CLIP - A Drunken Toast (1998) HD Hootie n Blowfish World Tour 3-4 (130.89) vs. Golden Gate 3-4 (133....

 Big time week for the writing staff as we went 5-0 for the week, helping our season record look a little better at 18-12. But enough about us, week 7 begins Thursday night, again features a 930am eastern Sunday morning game and ends with two Monday Night Football games, so let's get to it.  The Wiseguy 5-1 (128.18) vs. Best Man Robb 4-2 (117.40) BMR has been a roll of late and may get some help back very soon as CeeDee Lamb has at least started practicing on a limited bases so could play as soon as this week. However, Nacua did not practice today so he may be out for their game across the pond. Either way, this matchup will be setting an alarm to get up to watch it, as Ryan has Brian Thomas Jr going in the game for the Jags. That is not where this matchup begins however, as BMR will throw out the Steelers defense Thursday night against the Bengals as we will see how Not Elite Joe Flacco does in his home debut in Cinci. The game that we will be focused on the most in this matc...

 Another disappointing week of going 2-3 last week makes the writing staff record just a game now above 500 at 13-12. Need to have a big week this week. So let's get to it.  Go Blue 4-1 (129.76) vs. Cincy BallZac 4-1 (104.54) DP will start the matchup tonight with Hurts going so he will have a lead no matter what for a bit. Ryan has made something special happen this week, as he has every single one of his players going at 1pm on Sunday. With that being said, this matchup is brought to you by Brain McKnight (1) Brian McKnight - Back At One (Short Version) (Official Music Video) - YouTube After taking a lead after the witching hour The Wise guy will have to hold on for a Sunday afternoon kicker, a Sunday night wide out, and then some Monday night flex appeal with a running back going. Rite Aid will have to be up around 40 points we feel to feel good after the 1pm games, the writing staff believes he will be up by a little more than that and hang on. The Wiseguy wins 135-120 Puk...
