StatSmack

Everybody can't be a winner, especially if you're FRANCHISE. They've dropped their last three matchups.

"Winning isn't everything" was probably said by someone who lost. CA (2-1) have a better record than FRANCHISE (0-3).
CA don't let their opponents come within striking distance. They've got more blowout wins this season than FRANCHISE (1 vs 0).
CA should change their team name to "The Overachievers" since they have beat their projection in more matchups than FRANCHISE (2 vs 1).
By position, CA have outscored FRANCHISE at QB, RB, K, and DEF this season.
CA don’t just win, they win BIG, with an average margin of victory of 30 points, second-highest in the league.

There's not much good to say about FRANCHISE this week. Maybe they'll get their act together, and we'll see something different next week!

Coach Talk

CA
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a thrilling display by Drew Brees, we quadrupled FRANCHISE at the quarterback position this past week (43.9 points to 10.07). Brees orchestrated a Saints victory over the Falcons, hitting 39 of 49 passes for 396 yards and three TDs.
FRANCHISE
With only one reception on four targets this past week, the starting RBs for FRANCHISE should remind their quarterbacks to start checking down more often.
