What a fun week that was huh?

Well...except for the Vikings game (Danny not included).

As I pointed out, every team predicted to win by ESPN didn't, leaving the landscape of the league a bit different than any one of us would have thought.

For example, did anyone see Vernon Davis having something like 26 points in the first half.  Or how about Danny getting a combined 49 points from his Panthers.  Oh wait...the Vikings.  Or MJD producing double digit points.  Hilarity has ensued in the league.  And nowhere is that hilarity more prevalent in the fact that Dan's team lost to mine.  Congrats Dan, you've just earned your place on the Jose pantheon of annoying hashtags against people in the league.  With Ed no longer in the league, #edsteamsucks gets put in the Hall of Fame, while #factisdanlost now becomes my go to.

It's probably best I don't gloat since, you know, I'm a terrible winner.  That's what happens when you play on so many losing teams in your life.  You kind of never learn how to be a respectful winner.  So I'm just going to take a page out of Dan's book and let pictures tell a thousand words.  Or about nine words.  Either way, #factisdanlost.











And, to finish it off, this is how Dan must have felt losing to me.


Well, that about gets that out of my system.  No, wait, it doesn't.  But I'm going to move on.

Let's keep the subject matter on Dan and point out that he and Katarya play each other next week for the best record in the league.  Katarya needs to watch out because a loss and Bryan win would drop him all the way to third.  And with Joe playing myself, he'll have the winner right on his heels.  Katarya has a chance of going from first to out of the playoffs in two weeks (he plays me Week 8).

Meanwhile, Dan has a healthy points scored cushion, so he has some leeway if he loses.  Both he and Katarya are missing Packers WRs this week, so it should be an interesting matchup.  Side note:  Isn't that the ultimate cop out in one of these writeups?  Just saying "so it should be an interesting matchup" and moving on?  Yea, I went there.

I play Joe, which is relevant not only because we're 4th and 5th in the standings, but because we have a bet going.  Terms of the bet are as follows:  Loser has to give up their bed for one night to the winner and sleep on the couch.  A candy bar needs to be left on the pillow (to simulate pooping on someone's bed).

Bryan has a quote-unquote "easy" matchup against Danny, but as we've seen, give Carolina a decent matchup and they can score points.  I'd still give the edge to Bryan though.

Tim scored 90+ points again even without a Jimmy Graham catch.  That's a good thing because he doesn't have him again this week.  He's outscored Baron all but one week this year.  Guess who he plays?  I don't think you need to wonder who I think is going to win this game.  Although Phillip Rivers is playing Jacksonville...

And then there's Ken and Jeff.  This seems like a good game for K to get his C legs underneath him again (C what I did there?).  Jeff has one of those team you don't expect to see much out of, then he'll suddenly beat you out of nowhere and you're like "the hell was that?"  But I think Peyton's pissed off about last week and is gonna go on and throw three touchdowns.  Because why the f*** not.

Anyways, power rankings!
