Welcome to the official Week 12 MFL Recap thread, this week in the MFL officially kicks off "Rematch Month" and to kick things off Go Blue Girl, Duncan (who also had this week's biggest margin of victory at 89 pts), & Dr. Dark all avenged their week 1 losses while Dusty, Smoke, & MadMan Gamers sweep their week one opponents. This week also saw Dusty reclaims the top spot in the league standings, Mark's losing streak hit 11 games putting him one loss away from tying MadMan Gamer's league record for losses in a season, and 4 of the 6 games decided by 38 pts or more while the other two games were decided by less than 13 pts.
The Fighting Kittens (Smoke/SmokeTNT) vs. Of Hogs and Hokies (Danny Trioxin)
Maybe The Fighting Kittens will be able to figure out what the phrase "by the skin of my teeth" means after this narrow victory, edging Of Hogs and Hokies 94.90 to 90.34 to remain undefeated in head-to-head matchups. Of Hogs and Hokies is still a tough matchup for The Fighting Kittens, who has an average margin of victory of 6.55 points when they play. That's much smaller than their 33.47-point average margin of victory for the season. This week, Kyle Orton was the key difference, putting up 22.20 points. That's even higher than Nick Foles, who led all players with 19.88 points the last time these teams met. The Fighting Kittens beat Of Hogs and Hokies 95.38 to 86.84 in Week 1 and now averages 95.14 points against them.
Dark's Dragons vs. Free Adrian Peterson (Jerry)
Dark's Dragons logged the highest point total they've scored this season to pummel Free Adrian Peterson 120.78 to 81.60. Dark's Dragons came into the matchup as the underdog, with a projected spread of 11.62. These two teams are tied for sixth place with 7-5 records, but if you want to talk points, then Free Adrian Peterson has a clear lead, 1,247.34 to 1,064.50. This beating was revenge for a Week 1 106.76 to 77.06 loss to Free Adrian Peterson.
Free Josh Gordon (Dusty) vs. The Taint(Brett)
What's more likey to happen: a Browns/Lions Super Bowl or The Taint beating Free Josh Gordon? The Taint has yet to beat Free Josh Gordon, falling 141.30 to 102.86. Drew Brees was a monster, getting 35.30 points this week, a lot better than his 18.52 points the last time these teams met. This is the largest margin for Free Josh Gordon in two head-to-head matchups. They beat The Taint 94.12 to 85.66 in Week 1.
Go Blue Girl (Joanna) vs. Grave Robbers (Girl Graves)
Go Blue Girl (fifth place, 7-5, 1,242.18 points) knocks Grave Robbers (8-4, 1,205.64 points) out of first place after eviscerating them 124.66 to 85.72. When the battle was over, they got the second-highest point total in the league this week. This beatdown was revenge for a Week 1 102.40 to 94.16 loss to Grave Robbers. For Grave Robbers, the Buffalo Bills Defense and Andrew Luck played the roles of Maverick and Goose, scoring 24.00 and 17.02 points, respectively. On top of the loss, Grave Robbers had a starter score zero points (Arian Foster).
The Bastaaaards (Duncan) vs. Backfield Penetration (Monster Mark)
The Bastaaards put on a show in this matchup, registering the highest point total they've scored this season to thrash BackfieldPenetration 121.72 to 32.86. This win served BackfieldPenetration a cold dish of revenge after they won a Week 1 matchup, 95.36 to 57.90. Following an 87.72 to 48.58 loss against Grave Robbers, BackfieldPenetration saw their scoring drop off this week. To make matters worse, BackfieldPenetration had four starters put up zeroes. The Bastaaards (6-6, 1,111.88 points) remains in ninth place and BackfieldPenetration (1-11, 707.90 points) is still looking up at everyone from the cellar.
MadMan Gamers (tav7623/madmangamer) vs. Rock Terror (CA Bain)
MadMan Gamers remains unbeaten in two matchups against Rock Terror with a 101.34 to 89.08 win. Justin Forsett was the winning factor, garnering 31.00 points for MadMan Gamers. The last time these teams met, Matt Ryan led with 37.42. This is the smallest margin of victory for MadMan Gamers in two head-to-head matchups. They beat Rock Terror 126.12 to 97.62 in Week 1.
