Super SkatteBros was the week's biggest riser, jumping two spots to 5th in the power rankings after their blowout win, while Treywentworth cratered three spots to 8th following back-to-back losses. At the bottom, Bake2803 and Thomas the TD Engine are both mired in 0-3 skids with three straight losses apiece, while Hampton Inn quietly notched a perfect 2-0 against-the-spread mark to go with their own 2-game winning streak.

Full recapHide recap

Chase Jam rode the real Ja'Marr Chase to a 24.80 outing, got a strong assist from CeeDee Lamb's 20.20, and let Patrick Mahomes chip in 16.94 to seal a 128.14 to 114.08 win. But Thomas the TD Engine refused to go quietly — Michael Wilson exploded for 25.90, rookie Kenyon Sadiq flashed serious upside with 23.50, and Trevor Lawrence tossed in 20.78, chewing up nearly all of a gaudy 39.13-point spread before falling short. ztaff's squad climbs to 3rd at 2-1, looking every bit the trendy rebound story, while claytonmauldin's crew drops to 0-3 and stays parked in the cellar at 10th despite covering in style. This one was a blowout on paper and a nail-biter on the field.

Super SkatteBros turned a projected underdog role into the week's biggest blowout — spread be damned.

Full recapHide recap

Super SkatteBros came out swinging behind Jahmyr Gibbs, whose 41.40 was the kind of ground-and-pound performance that makes a spread laughable, while Sam Darnold and Drake London chipped in enough thunder to bury Bake2803 by 50.58 points. Brock Purdy tried to keep pace with a solid 31.28, and Kenneth Walker added 21.30, but it wasn't nearly enough against that onslaught. Adding insult to injury, Bake2803 left Bo Nix's 25.14 on the bench — though it wouldn't have mattered, as starting him couldn't have flipped this one. This was the most lopsided beatdown of the week, and Super SkatteBros didn't just win, they steamrolled — flipping the pre-game spread on its head and climbing to 4th in the standings at 2-1, while Bake2803 drops to 0-3 and stays mired in 9th.

Hampton Inn survived the league's nail-biter, while Treywentworth's bench decisions will keep manager Treywentworth up at night.

Full recapHide recap

Hampton Inn edged out the week's tightest tussle, riding Jeremiyah Love's rookie sparkle at 21.90 and a steady Davante Adams line of 20.70 to a 98.32 finish, while Juwan Johnson's 23.30 sat glued to the bench for NateN08. Treywentworth countered with Christian Watson's 22.60 and Josh Allen's 19.46, but it wasn't enough, and the fact that Tyler Shough was left parked on the pine for 24.80 points will sting a little extra. The margin was a razor-thin 7.86, and Hampton Inn covered as the underdog after Treywentworth opened favored by 1.86. Treywentworth's 90.46 was actually the lowest score in the entire league this week, dropping them to 1-2 and 8th, while Hampton Inn climbs to 2-1 and 6th.

  • Lamar JacksonQB20.44

Cookserio's crew is cooking with gas — 3-0 and the league's best score says this train isn't slowing down.

Full recapHide recap

Nicholas W. Cookserio didn't just win, he stormed the league's leaderboard, riding a ridiculous one-two punch from Jaxon Smith-Njigba (35.36) and Bijan Robinson (35.30) while Lamar Jackson chipped in 20.44 to seal the league's top score of the week. Team Blows got a solid floor from Kyren Williams (21.80) and Terry McLaurin (19.70), but it wasn't nearly enough to keep pace, and Jordan Love's 19.48 sat cold on the bench — though with a gap like this, starting him couldn't have flipped the outcome anyway. The 35.96-point margin blew well past the 32.63-point spread, an easy cover for logangraham's squad. Nicholas W. Cookserio stays perfect at 3-0 and parked atop the standings, while gsmyers25's Team Blows slide to 1-2, stuck in 7th for another week.

Cook’n RiceL123.08

  • Matthew StaffordQB22.90BN
  • Joe BurrowQB22.58

Brock & Roll turned tight ends into touchdown machines and cruised, while Cook'n Rice's bench boys cooked up nothing but bench regrets.

Full recapHide recap

I Love Brock & Roll rolled behind a genuine tight end tsunami — Brock Bowers went off for 27.60, George Kittle chipped in 26.20, and Garrett Wilson matched Bowers' fireworks with 26.70 of his own, giving NolanGrush a balanced, explosive scoreline of 165.32. Cook'n Rice never found rhythm, with Joe Burrow's 22.58 doing the heavy lifting while Harold Fannin and Matthew Stafford both stacked strong lines on the bench — 24.10 and 22.90 respectively — but even stapling those numbers into the lineup wouldn't have flipped this one. The 42.24-point margin made it a laugher, well clear of the 20.05-point spread that had Brock & Roll favored, and they covered with room to spare. NolanGrush climbs to 2nd at 2-1, while ColtonHower slides to 5th despite matching that same 2-1 record — a stark reminder that in this league, record alone doesn't tell the story.
