What’s at Stake
-
Playoff race clarity: Nea Kameni, Jakku, Double Sluggo, and Jager Bombs could all exit Week 4 at 6–1 or better, cementing the top tier.
-
Wildcard scramble: Crazy Con Men, Ass Pennies, and The Architect all sit in the middle — these head-to-heads could decide tiebreakers later.
-
Survival mode: Guinness and KingAj86 are staring down elimination if they can’t grab a win in the doubleheader.
-
Final doubleheader week: With two games on tap for everyone, swing weeks like this can define seasons. A 2–0 can launch a playoff push; 0–2 may mean an early winter.
The Bottom Line
Week 4 is where legacies are forged and playoff dreams either ignite or collapse. The unbeaten Nea Kameni faces its biggest test yet, while heavyweights like Double Sluggo and Jakku fight for supremacy. For the middle tier, every edge matters in a wild-card race that’s already razor-thin. And for Guinness and KingAj86, the margin for error is gone. In the final doubleheader week, every touchdown is doubled, every mistake magnified — and the entire season may swing on what happens next.
