Next Week Preview

Arrogant Americans
A pair of 5-3 teams will go head-to-head as Arrogant Americans take on Dirty Hippies next week in a mid-season showdown. Something's got to give, as Arrogant Americans has earned two straight wins while Dirty Hippies has won three in a row.

Over the past two weeks, Arrogant Americans have put up 139.45 points per game, while Dirty Hippies have averaged 167.4 per contest.
Soonerjack
Two teams with matching 5-3 records, sixth-place Soonerjack are set to do battle with third-place AMMODOG next week. Soonerjack is surely going to miss the production of Saquon Barkley, who's got a bye in Week 9. AMMODOG will be without Chase Claypool, Najee Harris, Kenny Pickett, Graham Gano, the Denver Broncos defense, and Zach Gentry.
