Lloyd Dobler vs Straight Outta Goffton
Lloyd Dobler is quickly earning a reputation as the basement-dwelling-punching-bag team in the Goodfellas ‘N A Bad Girl division. After getting thrashed by Packing Heat, Dobler had a good week in practice, with players swearing the bad play was behind them, and were eagerly looking forward to playing division rival Goffton.

Dobler benched Amari Cooper because of his recent performance. Dobler almost started Luck, but opted to go with Brees a minute before game time. Gurley (26 points) had another stellar week with 2 rushing TD’s and 1 receiving TD. Trey Burton (24 points) went off for 9 catches, 126 yards and a TD. Brees (20 points), Funchess (20 points), and Phillip Lindsay (16 points) all held their own. But Zeke Elliot (3 points) and Marquise Goodwin (2 points) were complete busts and totally dragged the team down. The extra 10 points from Luck over Brees would have helped, but not nearly enough to overcome the dud performances of Elliot and Goodwin. Maybe Cooper going to the Cowboys will turn his season around… time will tell.

Goffton acquired McCoy through trade, but the newly acquired centerpiece RB should have stayed home as he would have done just as well (0 points). Despite that sad performance, Goffton’s other players stepped up. Jameis took an Uber to the game and wasn’t sued (19 points)! Michael Thomas (17 points) had another consistent week. Robert Woods remained a top 10 WR (12 points). Ertz pulled in 9 grabs for 138 yards (19 points). Josh Gordon (aka Lazarus) had 4 catches for 100 yards. And with brilliant coaching moves, Gofton went with Greg Zuerlein at Kicker (13 points) and the Colts D (21 points) against one of the worst offenses in the history of the NFL – the Bills.
Dobler had a 125 – 112 lead going into the Sunday night game, but Gofton still had Kareem Hunt to play. Hunt (36 points) removed any doubt from the game being a nail biter and went off for 15 rushes, 86 yards, and a TD, plus 5 catches for 55 yards and 2 TD’s. Hunt is proving to be a key weapon (top 5 RB) on a hot KC offense. With this win, Gofton (5-2) stays a game up on Packing Heat (4-3) and Worthy of Greatness (4-3). Dobler (3-4) is under .500 and looking up at everyone in its division, hoping to turn its season around in Week 8.

Worthy of My Greatness vs. Ram I Am
It was the Bye week challenge for Worthy of My Greatness as The Core Four of his team were on Bye as he faced Ram I Am who left two open roster spots due to bye weeks. The hope was that he would be able to squeak by this week with a hard earned victory. Filled with fantasy dreams Mr. Worthy work up early and looked at his phone and saw that he was down by 48 points and the games hadn't started?! WHAAAAT, as he arose wondering if he got up late and his clock was off the mark?! Ah, but it was true Phillip Rivers continued his hot hand throwing lightning bolts for two strikes and 28 points while WMG's QB & bench was found unworthy. After the game two limeys invited the defeated for a consolation prize of tea and crumpets. Victory Ram I Am.

Kashyyyk Wookies vs Mr Cha -Ching
It looked AS IF this one was in the bag for Mr Cha -Ching as the Cashleees Wookies had been putting bottom feeder points on the board during the season but to everyone's surprise the Wookies Denver-D Cashed in Arizona for 42 blistering points while Carson Went crazy for 22 points and the Wookies never looked back. The Cha -Ching started to roll out the fedia but came up short 21 pesos. While leaving the field Mr. Cha -Ching was heard saying "how'D that hole get in my pocket"...  Victory Kashyyyk Wookies.

Chief Deflators vs Packing Heat
After being thoroughly deflated in Week 6 by the Armed Rodgery, the Deflators were hoping for a huge comeback win against the Packing Heat. At the start of the week, there seemed to be little hope for the Big Chief as they were projected to lose by 30 points. However, with a hot start from their QB Trubisky their projections jumped up prematurely and gave the Deflators some hope. Unfortunately, for them the rest of their team decided to take the week off. With the exception of Travis Kelce (14 pts) and Brandin Cooks (12 pts), the rest of the Deflators each scored less than 9 points. Packing Heat turned on the power boosters in the Sunday night game, with Mahomes and Hill combining for 57 points.

Armed Rodgery vs. Ertz when Eifert
Every season there’s the one team that stands above the rest. This year, that team is the current reigning champions, Ertz when Eifert. With the exception of a one point loss in week 1, the Ertz has been unbeatable. Armed Rodgery was hoping to put an end to that winning streak. The rest of the league looked on with anticipation and hope that someone would finally take down the mighty juggernaut. Sadly, the Armed Clan were out of ammunition with their star QB on BYE, and Matt Brieda leaving the game early with an injury but not before producing a fumble in the process. Five players combined for a total of 15 points which really put the Ertz at an advantage. The only sharpshooters of the group were the newly acquired, James White (26 pts) and Saquon Barkley (22 pts). Next up on Ertz victim list: Mr. Cha-Ching. Perhaps money can buy them a victory??!??
