Week 3 Power Rankings

Firechefs GM Justin VanHeche Is Ready To Climb On Top of The Martin One More Time


Game of the week 

Firechefs VS Monkeys

On paper this looks like a great match up of two undefeated teams led by respected GM's duking it out for first place. Peeling back the veneer we see that the Monkeys are nothing but smoke and mirrors who scored 64 and 75pts in his first 2 games. On the Flip side the Firechefs are the Juggernaut everyone thinks they are scoring over 90pts in each of their first 2 games. 

Score Prediction– Firechefs 105,Monkeys 81   



Watchable

Cobb vs Coyotes

Are the Coyotes for real? After cruising through the first two weeks they face a their first tough test in the defending champion Cobbs.GM Lance Poole will need Demarco Murray and Calvin Johnson to break out of their funk if he wants announce himself as a contender for The Martin. 

Score Prediction - Coyotes 92, Cobbs 87

3/5rs vs Pooches

The 3/5r's have so far failed to live up to the expectations placed on teams who stockpile draft picks. The opposite could be said of the Pooches who despite trading away their 3rd and 4th round picks put up an impressive 104 pts in week one. While the season is still young the loser of this game could be on the outside looking in come playoff time. 

 Score Prediction - 3/5r's 103, Pooches 78


Power Rankings

1.       Firechefs – Top Scorer at 196 points, another dynasty in the making? They have the pieces with a championship GM and a resurgent Carson Palmer and Adrian Peterson and Travis Kelce.

2.       Coyotes – Could this be the best team since Kilmer was coach? GM Lance Poole has constructed a great team and despite a slow start by #1 draft pick Demarco Murray they are undefeated thanks largely to Tommy Brady.

3.       Footlongs – “Team no RB” has been getting by thanks to stellar WR play from Antonio Brown and Julio Jones. If Melvin Gordon can get going ole Stevie could be bringing the Martin back to florida for Christmas.

4.       Cobbs – Don’t sleep on the defending champions, ole tuck tuck has put together a solid squad. If Dez Bryant remains hurt until the playoffs Terrance Williams could be the draft pick of the year.

5.       Touchdowns – I never like to rank Brungy high this early in the season but after last week he deserves it. Questions remain if Larry Fitzgerald and Dion Lewis can keep up their production.

6.       Leashed Pooches – After a breakout week 1 the pooches came back to earth in week 2. No one doubts the skill of GM Matt Murphy but his lack of depth due to trading draft picks and upcoming nuptiuals may be enough to keep him from reaching the playoffs.

7.       3/5rs – A lot was expected out of this team who sold spent much of last year in rebuilding mode. So far their 8 draft picks in the first 4 rounds have yielded mixed results, I don’t think the fan base can stand another season watching the playoffs from home.

8.       Monkeys – Despite being 2-0 this team has been awful averaging less than 70 points a game. The Monkeys better have a stiff drink on hand when they take on the 1st place firechefs this weekend.

9.       Pounders – What happened to this team? Despite having an extra 4th and 6th round pick they are terrible. Their Star running back Eddie Lacy is Hurt and their Star QB Andrew Luck has been benched after admitting he would rather play WOW than throw touchdown passes.

10.   Killers – I will award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.


Unranked- Deadbeats. You know who you are.
