Week Four: Games of the Week

9/26/2018

0 Comments

 
We're at the point in the season where a single loss can drop a team's playoff chances by as much as 30%. Unfortunately, we're also getting into bye week and injury season. The NFC number-one Whackers lost their starting QB for the year. Multiple star players are on byes. But the season rolls on. To the games:

AFC: 
#2 Brewmasters vs. #1 War Pony

War Pony is a two-time champion in this league, so his number-one ranking is not a surprise. But the Brewmasters have never been a true contender. If they're to make a bid for a championship, it starts here. Fortunately, War Pony is dealing with a host of bye weeks and injuries. That's why I'm picking the second-ranked Brew Crew to knock them off and ascend to the top spot.

NFC: 
#4 Roughnecks vs. #1 Lucky Enuf

Last week's number-one team faces this week's number-one team. The upstart Roughnecks vs. two-time champion Lucky Enuf. If Pyle can pull it out, his playoff chances will increase to 90.9%. The Roughnecks can move to a 59.6% playoff chance with a win. Although Baldwin's averaging 12 more points per game, I'm picking Lucky Enuf to get to 4-0. Baldwin just has too many injuries and byes. 

PFC: 
#7 SECFOR Sixers vs. #4 Team Tadlock

The winner here sees their playoff odds move to 59.6%. The loser? 43.2%. Unfortunately, Cordes and Sixers are dealing with injuries to TE Evan Engram and RB Jay Ajayi. I'm picking Tadlock to march further towards the playoffs.

Week Three Standings

9/25/2018

Six out of 42 OIL teams have yet to lose a game. At 3-0, their playoff odds are 89.5%. Those at 2-1 have a 54.2% chance of reaching the playoffs. 1-2 sits at 29.89%. 0-3? 5% . . . so I'm saying there's a chance.

Week Three: Games of the Week

9/19/2018

It's on to Week Three in the OIL, and we've got some great matchups coming up. Let's get to them: 

AFC: 
#7 Redlegs vs. #1 Brewmasters

​Redlegs
​Category
​Brewmasters
1-1
Record
2-0
145.35
Points Per Game
175.78
165.35
​OPR
215.78
43.33%
​Playoff Chances
62.8%
Here we have the two-time defending champion Redlegs versus the upstart, top-ranked Brewmasters. This game is pivotal for Zerger, as a loss for the Redlegs would drop the defending champs' playoff odds to 29.89%. A win would increase that percentage to 54.2%. The Brewmasters are coasting on autodraft, but points are points. 

This game will depend on the production of the Redlegs QB position, as they've been hamstrung the past two weeks by Marcus Mariota and Case Keenum. Remarkably, the Redlegs have averaged 145.35 points per game while only getting 9.675 points per game from the QB position. If Zerger can solidify his QB spot, he can win this one, and I'm picking him to pull the upset. 

NFC: 
#14 AMMODOGS vs. #12 SoonerJack

It is pretty early to have a playoff-elimination game, but that's what I think we have here. Teams that begin the season 0-3 have reached the playoffs only 5% of the time over 15 OIL seasons, and these two are 0-2. The AMMODOGS has a good team on paper, but they've massively disappointed due to regression from Deshaun Watson, Eli Manning's pop-gun arm handicapping Odell Beckham, and injuries to Jay Ajayi and Doug Baldwin. SoonerJack is a three-time champion who is always a trade away from contending. Largely due to the injuries, I'm picking Bruesch and SoonerJack to beat the AMMODOGS. However, even at 0-3, Rogers could buck the trend and make the playoffs. It all depends on health and things getting sorted out in the Houston and New York offenses. 

SoonerJack is attempting to intimidate the AMMODOGS by wearing their black jerseys commemorating their third OIL championship in 2015. We'll see if it works. 

PFC: 
#3 Great Plains Drifters vs. #1 FDC Chiefs

In contrast to the NFC's Game of the Week, the winner of this matchup will increase his playoff chances to 89.5%. But the Great Plains Drifters look like paper tigers right now. Although they have the same 2-0 record as the FDC Chiefs, they average over 40 fewer points per game and their OPR is over 40 points lower than the Chiefs. I'm picking Pennington and his Chiefs​ to win this one.

Week Two Standings

9/18/2018

After two weeks, the PFC's FDC Chiefs lead the OIL at 2-0 and the most points in the league (191.75 per game). But it were the AFC's Brewmasters who scored the most points in the season's second stanza, with 205.35 points. The scoring explosion moved the Brew Crew to number one in the AFC, while the NFC and PFC's top teams remain unchanged with the Roughnecks and FDC Chiefs holding the top spots, respectively. Click the standings to access the league on ​Yahoo!. 

After crunching the data of 15 OIL seasons' worth of records, I found that the playoff odds at this point are: 
  • 62.8% of 2-0 teams reached the playoffs; 23.3% reached the championship;
  • 43.33% of 1-1 teams reached playoffs; 12.5% reached the championship;
  • 22.22% of 0-2 reached playoffs; 8.89% reached championship.
Here is the current OPR for each manager going into Week Three:

Games of the Week: Week Two

9/12/2018

Football season is back, and that means so are the Games of the Week. It's only Week Two, but we're already blessed with two #1 vs. #2 matchups. To the games!

AFC: 
#2 Vultures vs. #1 Cocks

#1 vs. #2. First Platoon vs. First Platoon. Bird vs. Bird. Marlow vs. Comanche. We couldn't ask for a better matchup in Week Two. Look for the Cocks​ pull out a close win to remain on top at least one more week. 

NFC: 
#2 DARC NARCS vs. #1 Roughnecks

Aside from the DARC NARCS' second-place finish in 2015, these two teams aren't used being near the top. But here they are. Look for Henderson to knock off the top-ranked Roughnecks​, but there's plenty of football left to be played. Perhaps these two will meet again in the playoffs.

PFC: 
#14 Boomtown Brawlers vs. ​#1 FDC Chiefs

There's two ways to look at this. The first is the last-place team vs. the top team. But I prefer to look at it as the defending champion Brawlers vs. the 2018 favorite FDC Chiefs. Brake has been to the last three Patriot Bowls, so don't let his Week One hiccup define this team. They'll be contenders. On the flip-side, Pennington didn't have to draft his team from the back of a Humvee this year, and it shows. His team is the favorite to win it all. I think the Chiefs will win, but don't be surprised if the Brawlers even up their record at 1-1. Whether they win or lose though, the season is long from over for the PFC's most successful franchise.
