Week 4 Preview, Power Picks and Predictions

Are we already headed into the fourth week of the fantasy season? Why yes, yes we are. Time to get down to business.

The West Division's current standings:

Team	W	L	T	Pct	GB
cracka p	2	1	0	.667	--
Corn on the Cobb	1	2	0	.333	1
Bogeys Boys	1	2	0	.333	1

Bogeys Boys got their first win of the season behind the All-Star passing arm of Nick Foles. I hate that guy. Corn on the Cobb lost the only shootout of the week as Not the Cowboys had six players in double figures. 

The East Division's current standings:

Team	W	L	T	Pct	GB
Angry Wookie	3	0	0	1.000	--
Not the Cowboys bplumerpl@yahoo	2	1	0	.667	1
Cruz Control	0	3	0	.000	3

In a yawner of a game, Control dropped their third straight behind the stellar non-performances of, well, everyone on the roster. 

Here come your Power Rankings for Week 3. This week is a coaches poll so don't be surprised if it looks different from previous weeks. 

(I took the numbered votes, added them, averaged them, and then ranked the teams accordingly. I placed this number in parenthesis after the team name. For example, Cracka P got two 2s and two 3s, making his rank a 2.5, which was below one team and above the other four. Thus Cracka P is the 2nd ranked team this week.)

Rank	Team	Record	Div	PPG F	PPG A
1	Angry Wookies (1.5)	3-0	2-0	91	75.6
2	Cracka P (2.5)	2-1	1-1	99.3	87.7
3	Not the Cowboys (3)	2-1	1-1	108.3	92.3
4	Corn on the Cobb (3.25)	1-2	1-1	92	99.7
5	Bogeys Boys (5)	1-2	1-1	89.7	105.7
6	Cruz Control (5.75)	0-3	0-2	88	107.3

- PPG F = avg. points per game for

- PPG A = avg. points per game against

Four teams sitting either one game above or one game below .500 right now. With 11 weeks left it's going to be interesting to see how this one shakes out. 6 team league means everyone gets a shot at having two or three all-stars. With suspensions and injuries playing a role it will be interesting to watch how the season unfolds. Also having a coaches poll really takes the pressure off me, that way I'm not the only one ranking everybody and facing the fear of personal vendettas.

This author’s predictions for the coming week:

#6 Cruz Control 95 at 89 #4 Corn on the Cobb

- I picked an upset last week and was wrong, but I'm picking it again. Cruz has so much firepower QB through TE that I find it hard to believe the losses will continue. The buck stops here my friends.

#3 Not the Cowboys 80 at 100 #5 Bogeys Boys

- There's going to be a QB shootout in San Francisco this week and Bogeys Boys will benefit thereby.

#1 Angry Wookies 100 at 85 #2 Cracka P

- The top two teams in the league square off for the first time this season. The Wookies have one or two soft spots but should be able to overcome the deficits unless Cracka P plays the waiver wire just right this week. And I totally would be OK if he forgets to check his team until Sunday at 12:06 pm. Yep. I have no problem with that.
That's Week 4 people. Go get 'em!
