Week 3 Recap & Week 4 Predictions

EBP Scout Record now stands at 13-5 (0.722) in its 2017 predictions.

In a crazy mixed up world that is the NFL for 2018, the PSA Rifle Crew League has been fairly predictable if you read this blog.  With a 72% accuracy rate of the EBP scouts, management is actively working with the HR department to remove the “no drugs” rules from Beaver Posse’s HR hand book.  The Beaver Posse’s exists to win championships, and if you need a little smoke in your eye to “see clearly” then so be it!  Maybe we will move the team from Memphis to Colorado if we can’t get some concessions.

Let it be known however that the Elvis’ Beaver Posse’ will not have anyone kneeling for the national anthem or during any Elvis song for that matter!  To ensure this policy retains its integrity, EBP will be bringing on Richard Petty this week as a consultant to test the organization’s compliance to the policy.  We will see what type of skills The King of the Oval Track brings to the EBP organization.  Petty sure knows a thing or two about building a dynasty and we welcome his inputs to the starting lineup for week 4!

Week 4 Predictions:

The Carlos Danger bunch looks to upset God Graham It this week after the embarrassment that was week 3.  Carlos doesn’t react well when facing the potential of a losing record!  Look for major roster changes and some help from an under performing Julio Jones in the coming week.  The margin of victory will be slim but we think he will get the win and hang the first “L” of the season on Graham It.

The EBP thinks the huge win week 3 by the LeadSlingers was a fluke and see the Stormtroopers taking the win in week 4.  Hunter Henry has laid a goose egg in the last 2 out of 3 games and the Kirk Cousins that showed up last week was not the Kirk Cousins we have seen in 2017 and we expect some regression to the mean.  Stormtroopers win convincingly.

Trey City gets their first win of the 2017 over the “Cleveland Browns” of the PSA Rifle Crew League (aka Show Me Your TDs).  However, this one is razor thin and statistically it was a tie, but we are not afraid to take a side and make a decision around here!  Playing it safe never wins championships.  Trey City wins by less than 10 points!

Your Blumin’ continues their losing streak this week to the Kangaroo Smashers who are continuing to benefit nicely from a major lop-sided trade they made with the Stormtroopers a couple weeks ago.  Personally, we here at the EBP think the commissioner should have stepped in and stopped that one-sided trade from happening as one of those players was injured and one was not even a starter!  Nice play Smashers…..nice play!

     

Beats By Ray continues to remain in the supreme realm of the unbeaten with Crowell in his lineup.  But not this week!  Beats By Ray descends into the realm of the commoners at the hands of The Other Other Guy this week.  We are expecting this match up to be the “Blowout of the Week” as along as Crowell and Blount remain in the lineup.

Not that we need to mention it, but we will anyway….. The EBP will be accepting Sit/Start input from Richard Petty this week.  One might be nervous about giving up such an important responsibility to someone from outside the sport, but Kings of a Feather Flock Together.  The King of Rock n Roll and The King of the Stock car should make a formidable pair.  Look for a break from the norm as the Beaver Posse shows new formations and roster changes to ensure a victory over a win-less Laces Out Dan team.  We have been wondering all season however why Dan hasn’t taken is own advice this season and kept the laces out????

Drug smuggling scandal at Graceland Beaver Dam!!

Scandal!  Half of the Posse’s scouts this week were terminated when it was discovered they were involved with an illegal drug smuggling ring.  Elvis choose not to comment directly on the matter but was overheard on an open mic that he thought they must have been smoking some of the drugs they were smuggling when they picked the Lead Slingers to win over the Kangaroo Smashers in week 2.  It is clear now that so goes Jordy Nelson so goes the Lead Slingers chance of meeting EBP in the championship game this year.  Alex Smith can’t do it ALL for the Lead Slingers!  Despite the terminations the EBP scouts still have an 8 – 4 record (0.667) , which is better than 75% of the leagues win record!

For those of you incurious, the second little piggy was one of our employees here at Graceland.

"Three Little Piggies"

Your BlumEin’ was picked by the ganja smoking scouts to win in week 2.  Your BlumEin’ would have been better off having Zek on suspension this week than in Dallas’ starting line up!  The Broncos look like the real deal this year on both sides of the ball shutting down the number one running back from the 2016 season.  “Shutting down = less than 10 yards on 9 attempts = 0.9000 yards per carry!”   OUCH!
Z

Message to the God Graham It squad…don’t get too confident.  The EBP will recover from this scandal and come back stronger just in time for week 5 with the Muscle Hamster ready to play!  Its’ a long season but so far it is shaping up to be just like last year, (except for Beats By Ray is actually winning a few games this year) with Graham It making a run for the championship and showing promise earlier in the season.

Week 3 Predictions:
EBP will be an underdog (based on crappy Yahoo projections) to Carlos Danger this week, but not to worry.  Our players stopped smoking ganja before the pre-season and will be ready to meet the challenge regardless of the poor scouting report from last week.

God Graham It marches undefeated into week 4 as he kicks the Stormtroopers while they are down after the devastating season ending loss to the EBP week 2.  Don’t give up Stormtroopers, there is still a price for 3rd place!

Trey City gets their first win of the season over the Lead Slingers with Henry finally starting to pay dividends for the struggling Trey City.  They have been waiting for Henry to do something for 2 years now, looks like they will be rewarded this week for their patience and past losing record with their first win in week 3 of the 2017 season.

EBP’s computer projections for the Kangaroos vs Show Me Your TDs predict a Kangaroo victory this week!  No scouts available after all the arrests last week, so we turned to the Beaver Dam computer models for this prediction.  The “Cleveland Browns of the PSA Rifle Crew” league continue to show flashes of improvement this season but just can’t seem to keep the train on the track.  Don’t look for Crabtree and Gronk to go off again in week 3!  They are just hoping Gronk plays week 3.

Your BlumEin’ goes down in flames again this week to the new comer The Other other guy (“the team formerly known as The Playmakers”).  They hope the “Purple Rain” strategy name change does the trick as they try to turn this frog into a Prince! You do have to ask yourself, did Prince really become a more success artist when he changed his name to “that thing”???  None the less they are trying something different, and the EBP computer models show that it is working!

Beats by Ray has and easy schedule this week against a desperate Laces Out Dan team.  The EBP computer models predict Beats by Ray undefeated going into week 4!  Something just didn’t feel right typing that and auto correct had to be turned off just to get it into print!  Nice job by Ray getting that team turned around this year!  A win is a win, and it is proven that ganja effects one’s perception!

Week 1 in the books. Beaver Posse' Scouts go 5-1 week one predictions and an EBP win!

Watching the game from the press box:

Week 1 is now in the record books and if you are one of the lucky ones without Kareem Hunt and have stumbled into a victory, may the force be with you!  The scouts back at Graceland however start the season with a 5-1 prediction record.  The only miss was the explosion by Kareem against the almighty dark forces of the Hoodie and the golden boy Brady!

The EBP team once again experienced the dirty underhandedness of the Trey City dark underbelly organized crime syndicate.  The Posse’ was ready for the stretch of Armageddon style streets running through the wasteland that is Trey City by procuring a convoy of armored buses this year.   Charles Clay, Tyrod Taylor, Adam Thielen, and Tyreek Hill were all on the same bus that had a smaller gas tank than the others.  When they had to stop on the outskirts of the city.  All seamed ok as they refueled and safety got back on the bus, (unlike last year!).  However it seems the diesel fuel was cut with about 50% water and bus didn’t make it to the stadium in time for the start but the newly installed flame throwers kept them safe.  But they were not able to get there in time to make the starting lineup.

The good news is their services were not needed to secure a victory and they will be well rested for next week’s match-up against the real dark side…the StormTroopers.  After last year’s humiliating season this squad went all in this year trying to improve their chances with some big time superstars in their lineup most of whom have very favorable match-ups this week.  It’s going to take all the of the Posse’s players this week to secure the victory.  Elvis and team don’t seem to be too worried about their season opener at Graceland Stadium but are preparing very diligently in the event the dark side gains strength over the week.  It is easy to become too self-absorbed during your first home game of the season.  (cough … cough …. cough, patriots,…..cough)

Predictions Week 2:

Lead Slingers over the Smashers, handily!  The Smashers over promised and under delivered week 1.  This team was the only one the EBP scouts got wrong last week.  This week the Lead Slingers are a lock week 2 and look to be contending to meet the Beaver Posse in the championship this year.  Look for Alex Smith to repeat last week’s performance and Thomas to step up his game this week.

Show Me Your TD’s loses another close one this week against the new comer Playmakers mainly due to the improved play of the Seahawks ( Baldwin & Defense), and a ticked off Patriots team using Gillislee excessively in the red zone as they come off their embarrassing loss last week.  Look for Gillislee to repeat but this time will be in the roster and not on the bench.

Your Bluming takes Beats by Ray to the wood shed this week in what the EBP scouts are predicting to be the blowout of the week.  Your Bluming has some very juicy favorable match-ups this week and Crowell and McCoy running into some headwinds against Carolina and Baltimore’s strong defensive fronts.

 Trey City falls another rung on their way to the losers bracket this week to God Graham it, lead by rebounding Tom Brady.   Crowder should also have positive points this week as opposed to last week! Also TJ will be another non-factor this week with Luck on the bench and Henry will continue to be fantasy irrelevant as long as Demarco is upright.

Laces Out Dan gets pummeled again this week by a very talented Carlos Danger team that is loaded with depth on the bench.  Derek Carr will shred the NYJ secondary and Arizona will score big against a sorry looking, heavily targeted, anemic Indy offense.  Look for Ajayi to come off the bench in a big way week 2.
