Week 5 Headlines
NikhoNation sits alone atop the standings at a perfect 5-0, riding a 5-game winning streak and holding the top spot in the power rankings to boot. ๐Slim Pickens๐ trails close behind at 4-1 and dropped the week's biggest beatdown, a 207.36 explosion over CeeDeez Tig Ol Griddys, while climbing to 2nd in the power rankings. The middle of the pack got scrambled by two stunning upsets โ Bed Bath & Bijan, now winners of 2 straight, knocked off a favored Just Josh (losers of 3 straight), and shannonmatt625 shocked pogative, who were favored by a whopping 30.29 points, sending pogative tumbling a spot in the power rankings despite still sitting 3rd overall. Kev's Court ๐๐ was the week's biggest riser, jumping 2 spots to 5th in the power rankings even while sitting 2-3 in the standings. At the bottom, Weekend at Harripfs is mired in a 3-game losing skid at 1-4, scrambling to find footing in a league where the gap between contenders and strugglers is widening.
NolanGrush covered in style, and stocktopus's Willis benching turned out to be a footnote, not a fumble.
Bed Bath & Bijan rode a monster night from Christian Watson, who torched the box score for 32.30, while C.J. Stroud and Tyler Warren chipped in 22.94 and 21.40 respectively to seal a 173.82 to 145.84 win. Just Josh got a vintage line from Josh Allen at 32.50 and a strong showing from Malik Nabers at 29.10, but it wasn't enough to keep pace. Adding insult to injury, stocktopus left Malik Willis and his 20.88 on the bench โ though even starting him couldn't have flipped the result. NolanGrush's squad was an underdog by 4.88 points heading in, but covered that spread with room to spare, winning by 27.98. Bed Bath & Bijan holds steady at 4th in the standings at 3-2, while Just Josh slides to 6th at 2-3.
Slim Pickens feasted, CeeDeez got griddled โ this was a blowout for the ages.
๐Slim Pickens๐ did not just win, they put on a clinic, riding Jahmyr Gibbs's 37.70 and Bucky Irving's 31.50 to the week's highest score in the whole league. CeeDeez Tig Ol Griddys never had an answer, with Aaron Rodgers's 28.00 and Justin Jefferson's 18.80 doing their best but ultimately posting the league's lowest total. NateN08's squad was favored by 7.45 and covered with room to spare, winning by a jaw-dropping 97.18 in the most lopsided matchup of the week. Oh, and Tyler Huntley's 28.04 sat glued to the bench for Slim Pickens โ not that it mattered one bit with Gibbs and Irving already running the show. Meanwhile, claytonmauldin's bench boast Kyler Murray dropped 20.26 of his own, but even he couldn't have rescued this one from the wreckage.
Kev's Court didn't just cover the spread, they buried it โ while the Knights Watch's Winston benching was just a footnote in a game already decided.
Kev's Court crowned themselves kings of Week 5 behind Jaylen Warren's bruising 36.80 and Matthew Stafford slinging his way to 33.32, with James Cook chipping in 22.80 to seal a 197.74 to 135.08 beatdown. The Knights Watch got a strong arm from Jacoby Brissett (31.28) and Mike Evans's reliable 26.30, but it wasn't nearly enough โ and eknight88 left Jameis Winston's 31.74 on the bench, though starting him couldn't have flipped this one anyway. Kev's Court was favored by 16.92 and blew right past it, covering in emphatic fashion while climbing from 8th to 5th. The Knights Watch, meanwhile, slide to 2-3 and fall to 7th, still searching for their footing.
Pogative had the better team on paper and in the Likely department โ just not on the actual lineup card.
Drake Maye torched the scoreboard for 47.46 and Jared Goff chipped in 34.94 as shannonmatt625 pulled off a stunning 136.90 to 118.80 upset, blowing past a 30.29-point spread that had pogative penciled in as a near-lock. Pogative actually had the horses โ Brock Bowers and Derrick Henry combined for strong numbers โ but it was a lineup card malfunction that really stings: Isaiah Likely dropped 32.40 on the bench while Harold Fannin's 1.40 rode the starting lineup, and the facts are clear that swap would've flipped this one. Instead, shannonmatt625 climbs out of the cellar to 1-4, while pogative slips to 3rd at 3-2 in a result nobody saw coming. Billed as the week's closest matchup, this one delivered exactly that kind of nail-biter drama, just with a very avoidable gut-punch for pogative.
NikhoNation's 5-0 freight train rolls on, but osunick14's squad can at least say they lost in style.
NikhoNation kept its unbeaten run alive behind a monster day from Puka Nacua, who turned in 37.70 points, while Joe Burrow and Jordan Love piled on 32.60 and 29.28 respectively to put this one away early. Weekend at Harripfs got a genuinely strong effort out of Jayden Daniels (32.26) and Parker Washington (30.40), with Pat Freiermuth chipping in 21.50, but it just wasn't enough firepower to keep pace. The final margin was 28.26, and while NikhoNation improves to a perfect 5-0 and stays parked at the top of the standings, Weekend at Harripfs drops to 1-4 and slides to the cellar at 10th. Still, with NikhoNation favored by 32.09, Weekend at Harripfs actually covered the spread โ a silver lining buried under the loss.
