This Week in WTF Box Scores

weezel32

I scroll through box scores on occasion, looking for the weird and not repeatable. It helps to spot the outliers. One of my bets this week was Michigan State -14 vs Arizona State. They lost in heartbreaking fashion, making a game-thing FG before penalty negated it and then missed the retry. But it never should have been a game. The Spartans nearly doubled up ASU in yardage. They ran 22 more plays. They averaged 1.3 yards more per play. And scored seven points. ASU had a total of two scoring opportunities, and won. This gets an official WTF box score.

Mules Move to 3-0 With Third Straight Shutout

weezel32

Sometimes, stingy can be a positive. Case in point, the Fairfield Mules’ defense. For the third straight week to open the season, Justin Townsend’s Mules did not allow a point and the Mule Train kept rolling with a 36-0 road win in Chester. Fairfield moved to 3-0 with the win. And while the stinginess is a continuation of a trend this year, they can add greediness to the repertoire as well, as the defense got in on the scoring act with two defensive touchdowns and a safety on the night. That helped supplement what is a pedestrian offering for this … Continue reading Mules Move to 3-0 With Third Straight Shutout

NFL DFS Week 2

weezel32

Here we go for week 2. Made money last week with a 36% ROI gain. This week, we got cash on the left, GPP-only on the right. I tend to enter my cash in a GPP or two as well. Too many times of having my cash lineup go off and wishing I had it in a GPP, so I throw it in a cheap GPP most weeks. Cash-wise, Jacobs will be the most owned RB this week, and Waller the same at TE, as we try to take advantage of the Draftkings pricing coming out before the late Monday … Continue reading NFL DFS Week 2

Freshmen Mules Maul Tigers In Olney

weezel32

Traveling to Olney for nonconference action Thursday, the freshman Fairfield Mules football squad moved to 2-0 with a 28-14 triumph over the Tigers of Richland County. Fairfield scored the first 22 points of the game, holding the host offense in check until late in the third quarter. Fairfield took the opening kickoff and drove to the Richland County seven-yard line before fumbling. That just delayed their first score, which came early in the second when quarterback Eric Rodgers (not Joe, not Joe, not Joe) found a streaking Jonah Easton in the middle of the field behind the safety for a … Continue reading Freshmen Mules Maul Tigers In Olney
