Week 3 Recap

Markinson

Gina earns her first career Heineken! Hubert loses to her by 40 despite posting the third-highest score of the week. Through the first three weeks, Hubert's opponents have scored an average of 145 points(!) and earned two Heinekens, so it's impressive that he even has one win. Gina's win moves her into second place.

Scott gets his first win of the season in either league, taking down Amer by 30 points. Amer still has the league's highest point total but only one win to show for it.

Eddy squeaks by Lisa by 2.5 points to remain undefeated and in first place. Lisa started a late scratch at WR, which seemingly cost her the win, but her lone bench WR scored only 1.2 points, so maybe not. Eddy is now the only one in the league without a loss.

That's because Drew falls just 1 point shy of Jason, getting completely screwed by Gore's opening-drive injury. Jason says he knows people on the Vikings, and luck had nothing to do with it... Too bad there are no points for trash talk, or Drew would have won easily!

Hmm, there should be points for trash talk.

One versus two next week as Eddy and Gina face off!

Montoya

Hubert earns another Heineken this week, beating Scott by 47 points. The loss drops Scott into last place, an unusual vantage point for the Montoya powerhouse. Hubert moves back into his customary spot in the top three and has the league's highest point total.

I remain undefeated and in first place after beating, er, defeating my wife.

Andrew also remains undefeated after taking down Jeremy by 40, and the two undefeateds will face off next week in a battle for supremacy! Jeremy started a legitimate lineup and somehow ended up with only 63 points. Just a bad week.

This just isn't Lisa's week. She started an inactive RB, and this time her mistake definitely cost her the win. She goes down to Dan by 2 points, allowing him to collect his first win of the season.

Dufresne

Dean easily earns his second straight Heineken and crushes Amer by 44 points, handing Amer his first loss and moving Dean into his rightful spot in first place. He also leads the race for Starling by 75 points over Hubert.

Eddy also takes his first loss, falling to Drew by 23 in Drew's first win. Eddy posts a 71-point turd following two high-scoring weeks.

Nalu pulls out the win over Russell by 2 points to move into second place! After a tough first season in which he lost Tom Brady in the opener (I feel your pain) and finished 7th, it looks as though he's ready to see what Markinson is all about.

Speaking of tough first seasons, Steve has already experienced the agony of the 0.38-point loss, and the helplessness of losing to Heineken, but for the first time in his brief Dufresne career, he enjoys the thrill of victory, dropping Jason by 9 points. In ten years, Jason will be the answer to a trivia question. Congrats, Steve!

Predictions

For karmic purposes, Hubert always votes against himself, and Andrew always votes against himself, so in fairness, I will remove those games from their records. Hubert went 2-1 this week, Andrew 0-3. For the season, Hubert is 6-3, Andrew 4-5.

Yahoo went 4-0 in Montoya this week. Andrew, stop picking against Yahoo! In all leagues, Yahoo is now 24-12 on the season. If Yahoo likes you, chances are you're gonna win!
