On deck: Week 2 matchup previews

Archive preview: written now using only scores through Week 1. Scoring averages are shown for context; the trash talk is new.

Lady Luck's Leprechauns vs. Wreck It Ralphs

Scoring averages entering matchup: 136.85–91.70

Lady Luck opens with 136.85. Ralph has 91.70 and a strong case for never checking the app again. One week of data, twelve managers already pretending it validates the draft.

The Love Shack vs. Santas Naughty Elfs

Scoring averages entering matchup: 106.70–92.35

The Love Shack gets Santa, who just won by 0.65. Nothing says festive spirit like sneaking out with the silverware while everyone else argues about the median.

Globo Gym vs. Puppet Master

Scoring averages entering matchup: 85.00–134.50

Globo’s 85-point opener meets Puppet’s 134.50. This is where the underdog says ‘any given Sunday’ and the rest of us mute the chat.

KVWN San Diego vs. Team M.J.

Scoring averages entering matchup: 100.85–118.65

KVWN and M.J. bring 100.85 and 118.65-point openers. A perfectly reasonable matchup until someone starts treating a two-week sample like a Nobel dissertation.

C-Kupps vs. Mr. Roboto

Scoring averages entering matchup: 113.50–102.10

C-Kupps and Roboto both scored over 100 in the opener. Congratulations on clearing the bar; please do not hang a banner.

Dearborn Dirkas vs. Hurricane Ditka

Scoring averages entering matchup: 107.00–124.20

Dearborn scored 107 and lost. Ditka scored 124.20 and won. The schedule has already handed Dearborn a customer-service ticket and unplugged the phone.
