On deck: Week 4 matchup previews

Archive preview: written now using only scores through Week 3. Scoring averages are shown for context; the trash talk is new.

Lady Luck's Leprechauns vs. C-Kupps

Scoring averages entering matchup: 112.07–91.47

Lady Luck gets C-Kupps after losing to Santa’s 159.30-point demolition. C-Kupps scored 81.10. The leprechaun has seen enough violence for one month.

Dearborn Dirkas vs. KVWN San Diego

Scoring averages entering matchup: 115.40–110.30

Dearborn brings 118.40 into KVWN’s 111.65. Two teams with respectable scoring and absolutely no reason to act respectable about it.

Hurricane Ditka vs. Globo Gym

Scoring averages entering matchup: 108.58–79.35

Ditka and Globo are both trying to stop the bleeding. Globo just lost with 87.55. Ditka lost with 95.95. The first team to locate the end zone wins the right to be smug.

Mr. Roboto vs. The Love Shack

Scoring averages entering matchup: 97.73–101.08

Roboto won with 91.80 while the Love Shack won with 101.90. Some teams win ugly. These two are approaching the waiver wire with a paper bag.

Team M.J. vs. Wreck It Ralphs

Scoring averages entering matchup: 104.08–92.10

M.J. and Ralph both lost in Week 3. This matchup has the energy of two people arguing over who gets the last working charger.

Puppet Master vs. Santas Naughty Elfs

Scoring averages entering matchup: 115.77–127.70

Puppet gets Santa immediately after the Elfs dropped 159.30. The naughty list has escalated into a search warrant.
