1. C-Low. The preseason Ultimate Dynasty Bowl favorite laid a big time egg setting the new single game low score record and getting upset in a gimme game vs the Purists.
2. Lucky for Clo it was upset Sunday in the AFL. The Red Rockets had a big opportunity to take a one game lead in the division, but Goonsquad had different ideas. Tick showed he's not dead yet and is actually sitting in a nice position with 3 of his hardest games of the year over with and sitting 1-2 with a Lions, Kings, Purists stretch coming up.
3. Machine Marshall's plan to turn around and compete this year looks to have backfired. Now sitting at 0-3 and the last winless team in the league, they may have dealt the 2015 #1 overall pick to swap Reggie Bush for Joique Bell and Eric Decker.
4. The game of the week saw Super Manning get a huge win over last year's UFL Division winner and take a one game lead over all of their UFL counterparts. It's early but that win could look even bigger come December.
5. Kory Adams staved off the upset to survive as the only undefeated team, 3-0. While everyone else seems to be dealing with some injuries or ineffective players or players being suspended, I Don't Get Tired seems to be hitting on all cylinders. He gets the disappointing Machine Marshall and Purists up next so a 5-0 start is not out of the question.
Week 4 Match Up Preview
Miami Sharks 2-1 AT Dynasty Kings 1-2 (+48)
All Time H2H Regular Season (2-2)
All Time H2H Post Season (1-0)
Even with the Dynasty Kings seemingly stuck in a rebuilding cycle, this rivalry transcends records and team structure. These two teams are tied at 2-2 in their all time h2h regular season records splitting their season series both in 2012 and 2013. However when everything was on the line in 2012 with an Ultimate Dynasty Bowl berth up for grabs the Miami Sharks came away victorious thanks to Russell Wilson's 39 point outburst. I'm sure the Dynasty Kings haven't forgotten that and will do everything possible to topple the Sharks. However the Kings (especially with Gio on a bye) will not have near enough fire power to pull off this upset. Look for the Sharks to breeze through 97-49.
Difference Maker: WR Dez Bryant, Miami Sharks - If things hit right Dez could outscore Dynasty Kings whole core (Rainey Oliver TW Hopkins Randle).
Purists 2-1 AT Scott's Tots 1-2 (-29)
All Time H2H Regular Season (1-1)
All Time H2H Post Season (0-0)
In a match up where it seems as though the records should be reversed, the Purists look to defeat a 2013 playoff team for the 2nd straight week. Unfortunately for them the Tots are going to be a heck of a lot harder to beat than the injured/players suspended version of CLO Collins. The Julio-Jordy combo should be too much for the Purists to overcome, Tots 92-63.
Difference maker: WR Julio Jones, Scott's Tots - Best player by far in the match up, Julio should have another nice day and show the Purists an example of what they need to hope their receivers develop into one day.
Carolina Lions 1-2 AT Port City Goonsquad 1-2 (-12)
All Time H2H Regular Season (1-1)
All Time H2H Post Season (0-0)
Two teams that are coming off wins they desperately needed are meeting up this week. Each knows if they want to get back on track and in the playoff hunt this is a game they need to have. This should be one heck of a game with the winner salvaging their season and getting to 2-2.
*Side note, the two times these teams have matched up the game has come down to 1 point, 55-54 win for Luke last year and a 105-104 win for Tick the year before.* Tick's running backs suck less than the Lions, so give me the Goonsquad 84-72.

Difference Maker: HB CJ Spiller, Goonsquad - Spiller could/should easily out score the Asiata-Dwill combo. Heck he should score about double what they put up.
I Don't Get Tired 3-0 AT Machine Marshall 0-3 (+21)
All Time H2H Regular Season (3-1 Machine)
All Time H2H Post Season (0-0)

The last unbeaten goes against the last winless team, and at first glance you would expect these teams to stay on their current course in week 4. However with AJ Green on a bye there is a slight glimmer of hope for a Machine Marshall upset. That is, if Marshall himself can play. Even if he does Boles is going to have to have a mini miracle to pull off this upset. Give me IDGT 91-70.
Difference Maker: HB Demarco Murray, IDGT - Murray is the #1 fantasy back in the league going for at least 100 and a TD every game this year. Boles' backs may not combine for 100 and a TD.
BSL 1-2 AT Red Rockets 2-1 (+1)
All Time H2H Regular Season (1-1)
All Time H2H Post Season (0-0)
Both teams are coming off disappointing losses, especially the Rockets who could've been 3-0 and alone in 1st place in the AFL Division. BSL needs this game to bounce back and stay in the thick of the UFL Division race and they may just have a shot. The Rockets are getting destroyed by byes this week plus Ryan Tannehill is their QB so there's a chance of BSL coming out with the upset. Call me crazy but I'm taking CPatt and BSL 95-94.
Difference Maker: WR Cordarelle Patterson, BSL - Patterson could light up Atlanta if Bridgewater and Norv feed him the ball. I think they will, get ready for a huge CPATT game.
Super Manning 2-1 AT CLO Collins 2-1 (+9)
All Time H2H Regular Season (1-1)
All Time H2H Post Season (0-0)
***Game of the week alert*** Super Manning got a huge win over the Tots last week and they'll look to add another big time win over CLO Collins this week. When asked about the match up this week Phil said "CLO's team is '12-'13 Lakers, big names and nothing to show for it." While CLO has managed a 2-1 start so far, Phil's ominous quote seems like it could easily come to fruition. After losing Peterson, CLO is not the same team and it doesn't help matters that Charles has been hobbled and ineffective. Super Manning has dealt with their own running back problems and is dealing with both Manning and DT on a bye. This is a tough one and may come down to what Charles and Ridley are able to do for CLO Monday Night. It's hard to pick CLO after last week's performance and Gore seems to be losing his role with the 49ers, I'll take Super Manning 98-89.
Difference Maker: QB Colin Kaepernick, Super Manning - Can Kap against Philadelphia give Super Manning a top QB score like they're used to? After watching Philly give up 400 yards passing to Cousins, I think Kaepernick has a shot at a big day and helping Super Manning to a win.
Week #4 Power Rankings
1. I Don't Get Tired 3-0 Prv. #2 - Last undefeated team, hard to not give them the #1 spot. Have nice mix of stars and role players. If Murray stays healthy and Gronk gets rolling this could be their year.
2. Red Rockets 2-1 Prv. #1 - Even after getting upset and Foster dealing with a hammy this team has too much depth to not be considered a top team. Add to that a budding star at running back in Bell, a suspended star due back late in the year, and CLO's team declining and you should have your AFL winner right here.
3. Miami Sharks 2-1 Prv. #4 - Not prepared to go away in the NFL Division race any time soon. The Sharks boast a solid team with a super star half back and a pair of super star receivers surrounded by nice role players and potential late season break out talent (Feed the Crow).
4. Scott's Tots 1-2 Prv. #3 - Even after falling to Super Manning, it's hard to knock them down any lower than this. Julio/Nelson receiver combo is the best in the league and if Forte/Lacy can wake up this is a team that could easily challenge for the top spot.
5. CLO Collins 2-1 Prv. #5 - Everyone knew CLO was going through a lot with his roster, but not even the most pessimistic people would've called the upset and record low points he put up. Needs to rebound this week and for Charles to show some flashes or he could fall to being just a middle of the pack squad.
6. Super Manning 2-1 Prv. #6 - Huge win against the Tots, but need to see them do it again vs CLO to move into the top 5. They are doing a good job at patching up any holes on the roster but staying in front of Scott's Tots all year is going to be tough.
7. Port City Goonsquad 1-2 Prv. #8 - The Goonsquad saved their season last Sunday and remain a sleeper pick of mine. Luck has been on fire and may keep that #1 fantasy QB spot for oh I don't know...the next decade?
8. Carolina Lions 1-2 Prv. #9 - Just like Goonsquad, they may have save their season last week. Lynch and Stacy should be a good enough 1-2 punch to keep this team competitive and slightly in the mix.
9. BSL 1-2 Prv. #7 - Suffering the division loss to Carolina Lions was far from ideal but this team still has big time potential. 2015 looks like it'll be the year though.
10. Purists 2-1 Prv. #12 - Huge upset win over CLO and with Martin back (if he can return to form) they look like the best of this years' bottom teams.
11. Dynasty Kings 1-2 Prv. #11 - Having Gio Bernard is what keeps this team out of last place. They've done a good job so far of showing up every Sunday as they kill time waiting for the 2015 draft to get here.
12. Machine Marshall 0-3 Prv. #10 - Boles, your my boy and a heck of a water wiffle ball player, but...I could see this team sitting at 0-13 matching up against the Dynasty Kings in week 14 with the shot at finishing 0-14. 0-14 could happen this year guys, I hope it doesn't, but it could.
