Koch Safari League Preview Watch Guide for Tonight

Olympus has fallen, and not in the cute way. This week saw the dregs of the league rise up over their gluttonous masters as we are likely to see 4 teams with winning records take the L. Heading into MNF, which NO ONE should be watching, given that it’s at the same time as the WNBA finals and everyone watches women’s sports, there are 3 matchups whose final results are yet to solidify. There is really only one game script that could flip the odds for all 3, and that is absolute domination by the 49ers. I am so much less jolly heading into MNF not 75pts ahead, so this MNFP is going to be a speed run.

Matchups

✅ 100% - 45.55 points: Alex Michael Pagels (0-5) vs Rub a dub lost the Chubb (2-3)

A new league biggest threat has emerged, as Alex’s corpse thrashed one final time, entering the final stages of a rigor mortis - en route to a SUPER BOMBOCLAT drubbing of Matt #1 in what could stand as this week’s BIGGEST BLOWOUT. That makes Alex - thrice biggest blowee and once biggest blower. At least Matt had 25-pt scoring Tre Tucker on the bench - may that act as a shield against Alex projecting his misplaced revenge onto Matt during the renaming ceremony.

✅ 99% - 38.86 points: RosterMogged (2-3) vs James Ray Ervin Yonts (3-2)

Kyle needs Brock Purdy to p-p-p-p-pepper Mike Evans with so many TDs tonight that when Mike heads to the injury tent with the inevitable sore rib in the 3rd, Robo will have already sewn up a victory royale. This was a statement victory over the league’s resident AI nut, and supposed father of 2 - Jam. Now positioned between a rock (his deep AI psychosis) and a hard place (his daughter’s need for love and affection from her father), the league waits with bated breath to see where James Ray goes from here, and to which altar he will choose to pray.

✅ 100% - 24.59 points: Tuten Brown (3-2) vs Zen Buddha Boys 🪷💨 (3-2)

In this week’s most boring matchup - Skylar got nostalgic, showing off his signature 100 pt performance, en route to a comfortable loss before the opening of the second window on Sunday. On the plus side, the zen bois enjoyed the return of the flexible salted beef king - Caleb Williams.

99% - 17.88 points: Silly Shrek Squad (3-2) vs BDSM AI Stealth Founder (2-3)

Hy needs 25 from the SF defense to make one of the most miraculous comebacks this league has ever seen. They scored 20 last week, and scored >25 exactly 2 times in the last 10 years (got 22-24 another 3 times). Look for Nick to be legit bothered if this happens.

62% - 7.07 points: MELONHEADS (daniel) (2-3) vs Robotripping Gardener (5-0)

As sets of brothers continue to seep into the league, this week’s brother bash features Dan with Daniels and Kittle vs Patrick with Mike Evans and a 13pt lead. Unless we get quiet Kittle + explosive Mike + flat Jayden -> MELONHEADS are poised to hand Robo its first loss of the season, albeit with a HUGE asterisk - given the fact that Gibbs was on the bench.

64% - 6.43 points: Sir this is a FF league (2-3) vs Kiwis are better than mid (3-2)

In what is probably the biggest toss-up still remaining, Scott holds a 17 pt lead and the SF kicker over Matt #2 with CMC (who already has 5 pts at time of publishing). THAT WAS A JOKE - THE MNFP ALWAYS GOES OUT ON TIME. IT’S THE MNFP
