$traight Cash Homie (6) -27 vs Win’s Up Doc (9)
The BamOs (7) +1 vs Wait ’Til Next Year (11)
It’s an interesting week! Top team is projected to LOSE against the Moose Knuckles, even after the Moose Knuckles jettisoned their top player. Las Cabras have a tight one vs the upstart Ornery Otters. DTC fights off The Pullies. $traight Cash Homie has the biggest line of the weekend against Win’s Up Doc in a game that would otherwise be the game of the week.
Another fascinating matchup if The BamO’s revamped roster against Wait ‘Til Next Year in a week where Kyle might night score points in the 80’s. In fact, Wait ‘Til Next Year is favored by a point.
But our Matchup of the Week is Jordan and Coop.

This game is all about the health of Jordan’s squad. The Shepherd Goods Choppers have coasted through an easy schedule for much of the season, but the rubber is about to meet the road. Coop’s team is better than its record, and this week he has plenty of good players to start at the flex.
But if Jordan has Christian McCaffrey or James Robinson back at running back, he creates a sizable mismatch. Coop’s running backs are in rough shape like they’ve been all season.
If Coop can sneak out a victory over Jordan, he is right in the playoff mix. Otherwise, it might be time to start turning the page towards next season. The middle of the league is thick. Three teams stand at 4-4. Three more teams stand at 3-5. After Sam’s trade keeps him in the upper tier of NFL, those 6 teams are jockeying for the last two playoff spots.
At 3-6, Coop might be toast.
On Jordan’s side, losing this game might pull him out of reach of a BYE unless the Moose pulls something out of his knuckle to beat Strauss this week.
Get ready for a few straight weeks of Jordan being in the matchup of the week.
