Game of the Week
Bobby Bruton 137.54 vs. Burning Sensations 125.68
Its not often you see a 12 point victory in the coveted game of the week space,  especially when there was a game that featured a .82 point margin of victory elsewhere in the league (more on that one later). Unpacking this one, just a little bit, shows that these were the two highest scores in the league this week, and included one team that is 2nd in the Power Ranking*. This one also included a massive comeback from Bob on Monday Night, receiving 30  from the two Saints on their team to ice this one. **This was the highest score of the season for both teams, with one of the teams not receiving an asterisk for relying on PED's to reach their lofty heights.

Hot Takes
- The aforementioned closest score of the week came from SoCo and Noodle Soup, which would have taken game of the week if they hadn't combined for fewer wins this season than three different teams in the league. 
- Is this the year for Sack Lunch? We have seen Sack have great drafts, and having the best keeper in the league over the past few years certainly doesn't hurt anything, but something always seems to get weird in keeping Sack from reaching his destiny. I'm not sure what the difference is this year, but Sack is looking big strong and powerful in running roughshod through the league through the first 5 weeks. 
- Standing wise, the most intriguing game of this week features Bush League against his daddy, Bobby Bruton.

Bob is a game higher in the standings, but is somehow a 10 point underdog in the early week projections. As the old saying goes, Bye weeks are a bitch.

That's all for this week. Horrible luck to all of you in Week 6.


*the world's most advanced metric
**We are going to ignore that 2 of those TD's came from a player who just came back from a suspension for being a cheater. Not important.
