Next Week Preview

Dukes
Streaking teams collide next week, as Dukes (3-2) head into Week 6 riding a three-game unbeaten stretch, while their upcoming opponent (Onside Kickers, 4-1), have won two in a row.

Over the last three weeks, Dukes have scored 94.49 points per game, while Onside Kickers have averaged 96.79 per contest.
Texans rebuild
The outlook doesn't exactly get much rosier for third-place Texans rebuild, as they next get to face off against undefeated (and first-place) WBK Giants in Week 6. Each side has multiple bye weeks to contend with in Week 6, as Dameon Pierce, Daniel Carlson, and T.J. Hockenson are off for Texans rebuild while Nico Collins and Amon-Ra St. Brown are out for WBK Giants.
