    Week Two Standings

    After two weeks, the PFC's FDC Chiefs lead the OIL at 2-0 and the most points in the league (191.75 per game). But it were the AFC's Brewmasters who scored the most points in the season's second stanza, with 205.35 points. The scoring explosion moved the Brew Crew to number one in the AFC, while the NFC and PFC's top teams remain unchanged with the Roughnecks and FDC Chiefs holding the top spots, respectively.

    After crunching the data of 15 OIL seasons' worth of records, I found that the playoff odds at this point are: 
    • 62.8% of 2-0 teams reached the playoffs; 23.3% reached the championship;
    • 43.33% of 1-1 teams reached playoffs; 12.5% reached the championship;
    • 22.22% of 0-2 reached playoffs; 8.89% reached championship.

    Games of the Week: Week Two

    the-oil-blog
    Football season is back, and that means so are the Games of the Week. It's only Week Two, but we're already blessed with two #1 vs. #2 matchups. To the games!
    ​Vultures
    Category
    Cocks
    1-0e
    ​Record
    1-0
    163.80
    ​Points Per Game
    182.20
    203.80
    ​OPR
    222.20
    #1 vs. #2. First Platoon vs. First Platoon. Bird vs. Bird. Marlow vs. Comanche. We couldn't ask for a better matchup in Week Two. Look for the Cocks​ pull out a close win to remain on top at least one more week. 
    ​DARC NARCS
    Category
    Roughnecks
    1-0
    ​Record
    1-0
    169.90
    ​Points Per Game
    179.00
    209.90
    OPR
    219.00
    Aside from the DARC NARCS' second-place finish in 2015, these two teams aren't used being near the top. But here they are. Look for Henderson to knock off the top-ranked Roughnecks​, but there's plenty of football left to be played. Perhaps these two will meet again in the playoffs.
    ​Brawlers
    Category
    ​Chiefs
    0-1
    ​Record
    1-0
    101.55
    ​Points Per Game
    193.25
    101.55
    ​OPR
    233.25
    There's two ways to look at this. The first is the last-place team vs. the top team. But I prefer to look at it as the defending champion Brawlers vs. the 2018 favorite FDC Chiefs. Brake has been to the last three Patriot Bowls, so don't let his Week One hiccup define this team. They'll be contenders. On the flip-side, Pennington didn't have to draft his team from the back of a Humvee this year, and it shows. His team is the favorite to win it all. I think the Chiefs will win, but don't be surprised if the Brawlers even up their record at 1-1. Whether they win or lose though, the season is long from over for the PFC's most successful franchise.
