Week 9 Recap

🏆 Rondy Royal Rumble – Week 9 Recap

🤕 X Gon’ Gibbs It To Ya vs. Any Given Sundae

Adam’s win streak snapped like a Skattebo ankle.

Despite Adam’s genius move of throwing Sam Darnold into his starting lineup, just in time for the Seahawks Superbowl-Contender Coming Out Party, it wasn’t enough to overcome a dominant Schneeberger performance. 

While Brock Bowers propped up Schnee’s score line with 40+ points, the Vegas Tight End wasn’t the only reason he strolled to victory. Puka Nacua and Tee Higgins each had a day. 

Is Jason finally making his patented “Late Season Maybe I’ll Try Now” push?

He’s never won two in a row, and if he wants to start, he’ll need to take down Andy in Week 10. Which, based on Andy’s trajectory... is very possible.

📉 Tua 3, 4 Concussions vs. Man DIESEL

This team was 5-1. We promise.

Three straight losses for Andy. The early-season juggernaut has become a midseason sleepwalker. Even with Lamar back, Andy had no answer for Josh Allen’s nuclear afternoon and Chad’s now-weekly offensive explosion.

Chad’s squad isn’t just winning — they’re stomping. With Adam finally taking an L, Chad now sits alone atop the standings.

The top seed isn’t clinched yet… but the lock is halfway turned.

🧨 Team Cady vs. The BIG Show

It was the shootout of the week — both teams brought bazookas.

Rob and Chris are in full playoff hunger mode, and it showed. Drake London popped for 38, and Rob piled on the pain from there. Chris hung in with a strong score, but his 4th loss in 5 weeks tells a more haunting story.

He’s slipping. Fast.

But there’s hope — his next two matchups are against teams just as confused as he is (Andy and Matt). If he doesn’t win both? The “Big Show” might get canceled.

😬 Tua-Tang Clan vs. nWo4LIFE

Matt’s team was never the problem. His schedule was.

Let’s get it out of the way — Matt left D’Andre Swift in his lineup even though he was ruled out two days before kickoff. And yet he somehow still beat DJ.

And while the win was impressive, the Farley Rule gods are not amused. This is Matt’s second violation of the season, and with the player clearly declared out well in advance, a fine has been levied. No excuses. Pay the toll, troll.

That said, let’s give Matt his due — this team isn’t as bad as his record once claimed. He’s had one of the toughest slates all season, routinely facing top scorers while quietly putting up solid numbers himself. Now, for once, the Points Against Gods finally took it easy— and Matt got to feast.

As for DJ? Five straight losses. At this point, the only thing he’s playing for is not having to host the draft party for the 2nd year in a row.

💸 Bonus Round

💯 Weekly High Score 

Rob takes this one down, his second time winning the weekly bonus this season

🧼 Biggest Blowout 

No change here, all matches were (relatively) close

🏃 A Win’s a Win

All winners were well over 100 points, which is the bar you have to slide under to take the bonus away from Chad at this point.

☠️ Survivor Pool Watch 

And then there were four…. Week 10 is going to be tense.  Adam, Chris, Chad and Matt are left standing in Survivor, and only 12 points separate them.

Week 9 results:

-          Chad – 149.45

-          Adam – 144.50

-          Chris – 141.85

-          Matt – 137.00

One of these teams will fall
