Welcome To Week 5

Thursday Night Football

(2-2) Hyrule Empire @ Crocs (3-1)

This will be the first time these two teams face off

Both suffered losses last week

Johnathon Taylor versus Derrick Henry - should be an exciting match-up, or would have if Taylor was going to play. It'll be a tough challenge for Hyrule Empire without star back, JT

Super Bowl XIV Rematch

(0-4) Rainelo Hawks @ Evolution (2-2)

Rainelo Hawks leads the all-time series 7-5 in the regular season, 2-1 in the postseason (including Super Bowl) & defeated Evolution in Super Bowl XIV by 20

Rainelo Hawks have gone from first to tied for worst with four straight losses for the first time in franchise history

Evolution will need to find a new quarterback after Tua went down with a horrific concussion two weeks in a row - is his career in jeopardy?

Divisional Battles

(2-2) The Busy Killers @ Ultimate Savages (1-3)

Ultimate Savages leads the all-time series 1-0

Ultimate Savages defeated The Busy Killers by eight points in Week 4 last season

This is The Busy Killers & Ultimate Savage's third divisional game this season; both teams hold a 1-1 division record, both defeating Rainelo Hawks & losing to Black Hole Son

LilShupeScoresBIGPoints defeated VanillaGorillas in Week 5 last season by 36-points

(3-1) Yuba City Sultans @ Hahn's Hitters (1-3)

This is Hahn's Hitters first divisional game this season

Yuba City Sultans can take a commanding lead in their division with a win over Hahn's Hitters

Hahn's Hitters got the first win of their franchise last week & will look to get back in the fight for the Atlantic-Southeast division

Early Toliet Bowl?

(0-4) Balls Deep @ The Canadian Cripplers (1-3)

The Canadian Cripplers holds a 1-0 record all-time against Balls Deep as childhood friends renew their rivalry. The Canadian Cripplers defeated Balls Deep Week 7 in 2020 by 16

Balls Deep continues to suffer multiple injuries but stated in Wednesday's press conference, "I have faith still this season. Miracles have happened before." Relating to last season when they weathered the injury storm early on to rebound and make the postseason

The Canadian Cripplers got their first win last week against Hyrule Empire this season. Their schedule is the second easiest remaining as we advance

Sunday Night Football

Straight Edge Society leads the series 8-1-1 against Black Mambas

Straight Edge Society has a chance to win their 100th regular season game on Sunday Night Football

Week 2 Match-Ups

Week 2 Match-Ups:

Dak-less:

Rainelo Hawks (0-1) @ The Busy Killers (0-1) - Divisional Game

• The Busy Killers will be without their field general Dak Prescott for 6 to 8 weeks. The loss is a real blow to their season. In past years, as Dak goes, so does The Busy Killers.

• Rainelo Hawks defeated The Busy Killers in Week 5 last season.

• The Busy Killers lost Week 1 to divisional opponent Black Hole Son; they can't afford to fall 0-2 on the season & within the division this early.

• The Busy Killers hold the lead in the all-time series at 8-6-0.

Going The Distance:

Yuba City Sultans (0-1) @ Ultimate Savages (0-1) - (Thursday Night Football)

• This game will be their first Regular Season match-up.

• Ultimate Savages trounced Yuba City Sultans in last year's Postseason.

• Yuba City Sultans will have a quick turnaround from losing on Monday Night Football to LilShupeScoresBIGPoints to having to play primetime on Thursday. Ultimate Savages lost primetime on Sunday Night Football, & both teams will look to bounce back under the Thursday night lights.

• Yuba City Sultans will be traveling 2,421 miles (New York to Seattle) in their second of three consecutive road games to start the season.

The Canadian Cripplers (0-1) @ Rice-A-Roni (1-0)

• The Canadian Cripplers failed to remain undefeated against Crocs in Week 1.

• Rice-A-Roni won a problematic Week 1 contest against the other expansion franchise, Hahn's Hitters in Miami.

• The Canadian Cripplers is one of the original eight, so it'll be a challenging test for Rice-A-Roni in their Home Opener.

• Last Week Rice-A-Roni had to travel across the country; The Canadian Cripplers will now be leaving the comfort of Canada, traveling 1,813 miles by air to the Golden State to play a game in San Fransisco, which is calling for a windy Sunday afternoon game.

Black Hole Son (1-0) @ Hahn's Hitters (0-1)

• Another game that calls for long travel (2,174 miles) will see Black Hole Son facing off against the other 2022 expansion franchise in Hahn's Hitters. An early morning Eastern Daylight Time game in Miami where thunderstorms and rain showers are likely.

• Black Hole Son dominated the Week 1 win, with Saquan Barkley looking like he is finally healthy.

• This is Black Hole Son's first 1-0 start since the 2020 season where they won four straight to start the EFL Season.

• Hahn's Hitters had a controversial finish to their Week 1 loss. A lot of chatter about the lack of consistent officiating in South Beach. Hahn's Hitters & Rice-A-Roni will face off against two of the original eight in Week 2. New versus old, who wins?

Evolution (1-0) @ Black Mambas (0-1) - (Sunday Night Football)

• The last lengthy game that asks for long travel will showcase Evolution traveling to Black Mambas, Miami, to San Francisco (1,220 miles) for the Sunday Night Football game.

• Evolution leads the all-time series at 7-1-0.

• Black Mambas are 2-0 all-time against Evolution in the Postseason.

• Evolution defeated Black Mambas in Week 7 of the 2020 season, the last time they met.

Deep In A Hole:

Balls Deep (0-1) @ Hyrule Empire (1-0)

• Balls Deep once again has found itself riddled with injuries. The loss of Elijah Mitchell for a substantial time is a big blow. The nagging injury George Kittle is dealing with put this team against the eight ball before kickoff & several other injuries, along with the Watson suspension, is par for the course for Balls Deep.

• Hyrule Empire took it to the defending divisional champions Black Mambas in Week 1 & looked like a real threat. Hyrule Empire has a chance to go up 2-0 in the division & the league.

• Hyrule Empire leads the all-time series against Balls Deep with a 3-2-1 record.

• Last season these teams split, with Hyrule Empire winning in Week 5 & Balls Deep winning in Week 11.

Northern-Midwest Dominance:

Crocs (1-0) @ VanillaGorillas (1-0) - Divisional Game

• Crocs captured their first win over The Canadian Cripplers last Week & now have the same opportunity in Week 2 against divisional opponent VanillaGorillas.

• VanillaGorillas dominated Balls Deep showcasing their dominance on the defensive side of the ball.

• VanillaGorillas leads the all-time series against Crocs 1-0-0, which came in Week 7 last year.

• Both teams finished in the bottom five last season but looked like contenders in Week 1.

LilShupeScoresBIGPoints (1-0) @ Straight Edge Society (1-0) - Divisional Game - Monday Night Football

• LilShupeScoresBIGPoints scored the most points in Week 1, showcasing their talents as one of the teams year-in-&-year-out that could contend for a Super Bowl.

• Straight Edge Society put Rainelo Hawks celebration to an end quickly, not looking back with an early lead & getting their revenge from last year's Postseason loss.

• Both teams enter Week 2, showcasing a ton of talent. Tom Brady versus Joe Burrow, can we ask for anything more!?

• At 3-3-0, the all-time record between these two falls to an even .500 record. They did not play each other last season but will face off against each other this Week and again in Week 9.
