There is some nice symmetry with two undefeated teams and two teams without a victory. Four teams with two wins and four teams with two losses.
Luck Dynasty is starting to show signs of being a potential juggernaut averaging a league leading 117.6 PPG with Narcoma (95.3 PPG) and Wolf Pack (94.3 PPG) trailing well behind in second and third respectively.
While Heavy Pettine is undefeated, it seems that lady luck has been on his side with a paltry 62.6 PPG in opposition. Meanwhile 2 Liuget 2 Quit is only averaging 61 PPG, earning his spot as as the absolute worst team on the Vevmo planet going into week four.
Week four predictions
Nacroma will crush Demaryius Christmas, making it a coal laden christmas stocking indeed.
Hope To Finally Win Something will embarrass the bye week depleted TBD After Draft.
Heavy Pettine will survive a robust challenge by Cry Me A Rivers.
In the battle of suck, Reigning Champs will best bottom dweller 2 Liuget 2 Quit with a score that will give us all a laugh.
Luck Dynasty will roll like a freight train over The Northeastern Elitist.
And finally, Gorjira will continue to prove he is back and a serious contender, taking down Wolf Pack - after a laughable 2013 (and a hysterically collusive 2012).
Flacco played the good game that he is occasionally capable of, and Murray is looking more and more like an auto-drafter gift that he fell so late to me.
Notable is that Heavy Pettine is the only surviving undefeated team. He remains 3rd overall in total scoring while having the benefit of seeing an anemic 67.5 PPG against. Meanwhile, our lovable last place loser Demarius Christmas is seeing 98 PPG against as the loses start piling up and dreams of fantasy 2015 start to invade.
Week Five Predictions (Season to date: 3-3)
Christmas will finally come to Demaryius as the Rivers runneth full with tears.
The Dynasty will dethrone the Champs.
Gojira breathes fire and toasts the Elitist.
Liuget doesn't Quit and smokes a Pack.
Narcoma can Hope to Finally Win Something, in a close one.
A valiant effort by TBD After Draft to try and unseat still undefeated Heavy Pettine, coming up just one point shy of a tie and two of a win. Unfortunately that loss sends TBD to the wrong side of .500 and with a full one third of his team putting up a paltry 22 points in Thursday's opener, I am expecting Gojira to use that to his advantage and remain in the top half of the Road Rules Division.
In what will be a closer than expect matchup, Luck over RIvers - because Rivers has no Luck!
I'd like to give a big shout out to Demaryius Christmas on bagging that first win. It was a miracle in the making, almost putting up the week's biggest number (falling 1 point short to Northeastern). This week might also go your way as well being the Champs seem to be sleeping at the switch with at least one important roster move. That said, I don't think two in a row is in the cards with such a lackluster lineup even if the Champs do put up a goose egg or two.
In the battle of 2 & 3 I'm going with the Wolfpack over Win Something. I like Eli on Sunday Night to be the difference maker although there are a lot of questionables on the roster that all need to play in order for the Wolfpack to pull it out.
I don't have much to say about my matchup with 2 Liuget 2 Quit other than, awful is as awful does. Welcome to dead last with a league low 359 total points and a new league low of 48 points in a game! To think you were the Champ only a couple of years ago. Oh how the mighty have fallen...
And finally, in what is the marquee matchup of week 6, I'm taking the Elitist to finally scar Pettine's perfect record and bring parity back to the top of the leaderboard.
Yup, even Vinatieri got less than half of that this week.
Week three has come to a close.

This is fantastic! Keep up the good commissioner work Bacchus! The weekly recap and predictions are awesome.
Hilarious.. where did my like button go.
B you are going to be proven wrong. My waiver wire TE and backup RBs will carry me to victory.
You made some good roster moves. That said, I have to stand by my predictions.
There are a couple close matches going into Monday night!
Cry Me A Rivers needs Edelman to be the focus of the offense with lots of Gostkowski FGs and 26 pts to tarnish Heavy Pettine's puuuuurfect record.
Demaryius Christmas is begging for Brady to light it up, just not to Gronk and close the 11 point gap with Narcoma.
As for the rest of the league, ouch did my predictions run amuck!
TBD, I stand corrected...
Luck got unlucky and was decimated by the Elitist...
2 Liuget decided to come out of retirement to post the week's top score...
and Gojira looks to hold off the Pack.
Flacco played the good game that he is occasionally capable of, and Murray is looking more and more like an auto-drafter gift that he fell so late to me.
Oh Matt Asiata, I was debating on adding him for a week now but it was too late. Rough week.
Week four is in the books!

And in the upset of the week...
Determined Draft skips past Pettine and scores.
Looking for: a solid starting WR who does not have a week 10 bye week.
Offering: My first round pick, Arian Foster (+ sweeteners depending on player).
B, your summaries and predictions are brilliant. I love reading them. Thanks for doing them.
Thanks! I try to bring levity to what might be a very painful time for some owners.
Terrence Williams. Take it or leave it. I thought about Benjammin or Cobb, but then I realized you have nothing to sweeten the deal with.
Gosh, I've about given up in this league...
I'm 4-0 in my other league. My luck is just no bueno here and doesn't look like I'll ever make a comeback.
Your team is failing because your team name includes a pun with a player that you do not have.
How in the **** am I striking gold all of a sudden?
Think I'm going to change my team name from Reigning Champs to the One and Dones. My team is awful, no back to back championships for me.
And another one bites the dust.
Eh. No I'm pretty sure I'm just unlucky.
This week will definitely be interesting, especially if Locker is out...
It might be the "off-week" for me.
I'm a bit behind the eight ball this week...

Hey I won one last week!
I feel somewhat accomplished.
I have changed my starting WRs 5 times this week. The one week I am projected to kill it and I can not figure out what to do blahhhhh
Damn...I made fun of 2 Liuget and he pummeled me. Ouch...
Congrats to the Elitist for taking down Pettine.
I have survived!
So many close finishes, that was a fun week. Happy I won even though I have scored barely anything the last two weeks.
Can someone explain how I am in 7th place and have a 3-4 record?
I have 3 of the top 9 RBs and 4 of the top 11 WRs. I have scored the 3rd most points in the league, and have a top 10 QB, TE, and kicker as well.
The last time I take advice from anyone ever again...
"Start Hoyer," they said.
"He'll do great against the Jags," they said.
"Brees will not do well against Detriot's defense," they said.
You have 2 losses that were very close, one by 1 pt and one by 5 pts. A bit more luck and you'd be 5-2 instead.
