Njibas Might Actually Be Building a Winning Streak

Njibas in Paris finally broke through last week with a 155.40-point explosion and now enters Friday favored again, 123.44–114.42 over Multiple Scoregasms. Njibas has Drake Maye, Puka Nacua, Cam Skattebo, Isaiah Likely, Saquon Barkley, Denzel Boston, and the Philadelphia defense. Barkley and Boston carry questionable tags, but this lineup looks considerably stronger than Tuesday's version. Multiple counters with Jayden Daniels, Bucky Irving, Jaylen Warren, Emeka Egbuka, Rome Odunze, Michael Wilson, and Rashee Rice. No one has played yet. One week ago Njibas was 0-4 and apparently cursed. A second straight victory would be a very Carousel way to erase that narrative.

Njibas Has an Actual Winning Streak

Two weeks ago Njibas in Paris was 0-4. Now it's 2-4. Njibas beat Multiple Scoregasms 115.25–102.90 behind 32.15 from Drake Maye, 23.90 from Isaiah Likely, 19.00 from Carnell Tate, and 14.00 from Blake Corum. Multiple got 28.00 from Jayden Daniels and 17.80 from Emeka Egbuka, but Bucky Irving, Jaylen Warren, Rome Odunze, and Michael Wilson all underperformed.

Terrifier finally won last week and then drew undefeated Rob The Rich. Thursday did nothing to make that assignment easier. Denver's defense scored 14.00 for Rob The Rich, beating its projection by 7.47 and pushing the team's expected total to 142.71. Terrifier remains at 115.38, leaving Rob The Rich with a 27.33-point advantage. The undefeated lineup still has Josh Allen, Bijan Robinson, Derrick Henry, George Pickens, Chris Olave, Davante Adams, and Dalton Kincaid. Terrifier counters with Kirk Cousins, Brock Bowers, Matthew Golden, Terry McLaurin, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Luther Burden. Bowers is questionable with a knee injury, while Olave is dealing with an illness. Terrifier finally proved it can win. Beating the league's only 5-0 team is a completely different problem.

Recap

Rob The Rich Survives Its Worst Week Yet

Rob The Rich finally looked vulnerable. It still didn't lose. The undefeated team beat Terrifier 95.55–76.75 despite missing projection by 45.47 points. Josh Allen led the lineup with 24.85, Denver's defense scored 14.00, Chris Olave added 14.30, and George Pickens scored 13.30. Bijan Robinson and Derrick Henry combined for only 11.30, while A.J. Brown managed 4.70. Terrifier couldn't take advantage. Caleb Williams scored 20.55 and Luther Burden added 17.50, but most of the lineup struggled.

This matchup looked much safer for hicksb89 before Thursday. J.K. Dobbins scored 13.60 for Chaos Theory, beating his projection by 6.16, while the Seattle defense managed only 3.00 for hicksb89. The result is a much tighter 122.30–117.77 expected edge for hicksb89, just 4.53 points. Chaos Theory still has Brock Purdy, Garrett Wilson, Parker Washington, Tyler Warren, Alvin Kamara, and Tony Pollard. hicksb89 counters with Jordan Love, Kyren Williams, Javonte Williams, Puka Nacua, Trey McBride, Christian McCaffrey, and Harold Fannin. DeVonta Smith currently carries a zero projection and is questionable with a hamstring injury. The Carousel gave Chaos Theory exactly the Thursday it needed. Now we have a game.

Recap

That Four-Point Game Became a 52-Point Beating

Thursday made this matchup look close. Sunday destroyed that illusion. hicksb89 beat Chaos Theory 133.10–81.30 by 51.80 points. Christian McCaffrey led the way with 29.70, Jordan Love scored 26.00, DeVonta Smith added 20.50, and Ryan Flournoy scored 17.00. Chaos Theory got 22.00 from Brock Purdy and 14.90 from Alvin Kamara, but almost everything else disappointed. Najee Harris scored 0.20, Tyler Higbee managed 3.20, and the Jaguars defense scored 1.00. Chaos Theory has now scored 817.45 season points and somehow sits at 2-4. The Carousel continues to be extremely rude.

Kyle remains projected for 150.56, a massive 37.36-point advantage. Kyle has Jacoby Brissett, Jonathan Taylor, Chuba Hubbard, Drake London, Christian Watson, George Kittle, Ashton Jeanty, CeeDee Lamb, and the Pittsburgh defense. Logopolis counters with Bryce Young, Bhayshul Tuten, Davante Adams, Travis Kelce, Mike Evans, Juwan Johnson, and the Kansas City defense. Kyle is already 4-1 and one game behind undefeated Rob The Rich. If the projection is anywhere close to right, that chase continues.

Dallas' defense managed only 1.00 point, but jmdacey answered with 17.20 from Emeka Egbuka.

James Cook, Jahmyr Gibbs, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Tee Higgins still headline jmdacey's remaining lineup, although one starting slot is still empty. Multiple counters with Jayden Daniels, Jaylen Warren, Michael Wilson, Romeo Doubs, and Jameson Williams. Four weeks of perfection are now genuinely in danger, and the Carousel finally looks interested in jmdacey.

Recap

Multiple Doesn't Just End the Perfect Season

The undefeated express didn't merely derail. It went off a cliff. Multiple Scoregasms crushed jmdacey 155.90–72.80, handing him his first loss in spectacular fashion. Jaylen Warren exploded for 36.80, Jayden Daniels scored 34.25, Bucky Irving added 31.50, and Jameson Williams chipped in 18.70. jmdacey's highest scorer was Emeka Egbuka at just 17.20, while RJ Harvey managed 0.70 and Najee Harris scored 2.40.

Mike won Brock Bowers in last week's Carousel swap, and in a matchup this close, that addition could matter immediately. Terrifier has lost four straight.

Njibas in Paris entered Week 5 at 0-4 and drew one of the league's stronger teams.

Unfortunately, the gap is still enormous. hicksb89 is now favored 136.55–96.05, a 40.50-point advantage. Christian McCaffrey, Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua, Trey McBride, and Kyler Murray are still waiting to play for hicksb89. Njibas counters with Drake Maye, Cam Skattebo, Sam LaPorta, Carnell Tate, and a lineup carrying several questionable tags. Kyle Monangai is currently sitting on a 0.00 projection, which does not help matters. The good news is that Thursday did not bury Njibas. The bad news is that the rest of the matchup still looks like it might.

Recap

Njibas Goes Nuclear and Finally Gets a Win

Apparently Njibas in Paris was tired of being told how hopeless everything looked. The 0-4 team exploded for 155.40 points and upset hicksb89 155.40–152.85 in the closest Chaos matchup of the week. Drake Maye went completely insane for 51.20 points, beating his projection by 27.27, while Isaiah Likely added 32.40 and Sam LaPorta scored 19.80. hicksb89 put up a strong 152.85 behind 37.70 from Puka Nacua, 22.55 from Kyler Murray, and 21.60 from Trey McBride, but it still wasn't enough.

Allen, Bijan Robinson, Derrick Henry, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Davante Adams, and Dalton Kincaid still have not played. Logopolis counters with Trevor Lawrence, Chase Brown, Chris Olave, Bhayshul Tuten, Mike Evans, and a handful of injury questions. Logopolis is 2-2 and has scored a respectable 548.25 season points. Rob is 4-0, has scored 555.50, and just keeps collecting more talent. At some point the Carousel is supposed to make life difficult for the undefeated teams. Apparently nobody told Rob.

Emerald City counters with Matthew Stafford, Nico Collins, Quinshon Judkins, Malik Nabers, Tucker Kraft, and Braelon Allen. Emerald City finally escaped the winless club last week.

Joe Burrow, Jonathan Taylor, Christian Watson, George Kittle, Ladd McConkey, and Drake London still have to play for Kyle, while Sam counters with Jared Goff, Ashton Jeanty, DK Metcalf, T.J.

KyleKlann counters with Joe Burrow, CeeDee Lamb, George Kittle, Drake London, and Chuba Hubbard. The projections favor Chaos Theory by 21.79 points. Naturally, in a league literally named Carousel of Chaos, that probably means everyone should prepare for the exact opposite.

Recap

The Carousel Heard 'Favorite' and Started Laughing

Chaos Theory entered as a 21.79-point favorite. KyleKlann responded by scoring 158.50 and winning by 43.50. CeeDee Lamb detonated for 41.30 points, Joe Burrow added 31.00, and Chuba Hubbard scored 25.90 as Kyle beat projection by a ridiculous 37.38 points. Chaos Theory got 25.80 from Brock Purdy, 22.80 from Alvin Kamara, and 22.70 from Jonathan Taylor, but Garrett Wilson and Parker Washington combined for only 7.70. KyleKlann improves to 3-1 while Chaos Theory falls to 2-2. This is why projecting anything in this league feels like tempting fate.

The First Unbeaten Matchup Just Flipped

jmdacey and hicksb89 both enter Week 3 at 2-0, but Thursday changed the favorite. jmdacey opened with a 1.51-point projection edge, only to get -2.00 from the Green Bay defense. That drops the updated expected total to 130.65, while hicksb89 remains at 139.98 without a starter having played. The matchup has flipped to a 9.32-point advantage for hicksb89, turning one of the week's closest games into a noticeably tougher climb for jmdacey.

Recap

jmdacey Responds With a 74-Point Beatdown

Friday had hicksb89 favored after the matchup flipped on Thursday. jmdacey apparently took that personally. Jahmyr Gibbs exploded for 41.40, Jaxon Smith-Njigba added 35.50, and Tee Higgins scored 21.00 as jmdacey demolished hicksb89 150.70–76.85. Even a zero from Rico Dowdle and -2.00 from the Packers defense couldn't make this remotely close. jmdacey improves to 3-0, while hicksb89 falls to 2-1 after missing projection by 20.87 points. And now, because this is the Carousel, the winner gets to take something home from the wreckage.

That upset path disappeared in a hurry. Logopolis erupted for 161.20 points and crushed Terrifier by 55.00, with Trevor Lawrence, Ja'Marr Chase, Brock Bowers, Chris Olave, and the Vikings defense all delivering big performances. Terrifier actually finished almost exactly on projection at 106.20 and got strong games from Kirk Cousins, Matthew Golden, and Terry McLaurin. It simply didn't matter.
