Ladies and Gentlemen of the TSL Universe, it seems like we’re shaping up to have quite the end of the season here. Two weeks remain in the Fall 2025 season, and if last week taught us anything, it’s that we can still be surprised. Look what happened just last week:

 

-Mavericks get a huge win over Sticky Bandits

-The Chargers lost!

-Jabronies become D2 favorites in a win over The Malones

-PowerPuff Girls continue to lose

-DXYZ shuts out ILF

 

That's just a small snapshot of what happened last week. The point is that you never know what you’re going to get on any weekend of TSL football. Well, except that Legends will win. That seems to be the only safe bet on the season right about now. We’ve talked about it many times before, the start of the season can get your squad going on the right foot, but more often than not it’s all about how you end the season that matters more. Here’s a current look at the hottest teams in the league right now: 

 

Legends (D1)

Undefeated this year, including wins over Sticky Bandits and Eyes Downtown last week. Their defense is suffocating, and they look like the clear D1 favorite heading into the final stretch.

Jabronies (D2)

Back-to-back statement wins, including handing The Malones their first loss. They’ve vaulted into the #1 seed conversation and are peaking at the perfect time.

Blitzkrieg (D5)

Winners of four straight and averaging nearly 40 points per game during that span. They’ve gone from “kind of on the outside” to “legit contender” in a hurry.

 

And here’s our current coldest teams:

 

Sticky Bandits (D1)

After a hot start, they’re 0-3 over their last three and just dropped two in a row, including one to the Mavericks. Their point differential has dipped and their grip on the #2 seed is slipping.

PowerPuff Girls (D4)

Three straight losses have them falling out of top-seed contention. They need to stop the bleeding fast if they have dreams of going back to back. 

Sausage McMuffins (D5)

Lost 4 straight, and are giving up 35 points per game in that stretch. The dreams of contending for the title are long gone for them this season, hopefully they figure it out in the winter. 

D1

 

LAST WEEK’S SCORES

 

Mavericks 43, Sticky Bandits 37
Legends 46, Eyes Downtown 32
Legends 38, Sticky Bandits 24
Eyes Downtown 38, Freeballers 15

 

The Mavericks get a signature win of sorts, taking out the Sticky Bandits. Legends go 2-0 on the day, also taking out Sticky, and adding Eyes Downtown to the mix. ED would go on to beat the Freeballers.

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

 

STICKY BANDITS VS UNIT HA HA (+10) - HAHA looks to take advantage of the Bandits’ slide, but it feels more like it's time for Sticky Nation to right the ship. STICKY BANDITS BY 2

EYES DOWNTOWN VS FRODO SWAGGINS (+7) - Frodo may not have taken a leap this season like we all thought, but that doesn’t mean they’re not improving. The problem is that Eyes Downtown looks really good as they prepare for the playoffs. EYES DOWNTOWN BY 10

MAVERICKS VS WHAT A DUMP (EVEN) - These two teams seem earmarked for a Playoff Saturday showdown, but after the Mavs beat Sticky, both teams could have their eyes on moving up in the standings. Both seem to be stepping up at the right time, and this could be the best game of the day. MAVERICKS BY 1

LEGENDS VS FREEBALLERS (+21) - Yeah. This might be hard to watch. LEGENDS BY 17

WHAT A DUMP VS FREEBALLERS (+9) - Freeballers have a better shot at winning this game of course, but again WAD has been playing better as of late. WHAT A DUMP BY 13

D2

 

LAST WEEK’S SCORES

 

Can’t Touch This 43, Grey Hair Don’t Care 6
Jabronies 37, The Malones 34
Passing While Intoxicated 53, Scared Hitless 44

 

Can’t Touch This finally woke up a bit, getting a nice win over GHDC, the Jabronies won a fantastic game over The Malones, and PWI continues to solve the very solvable Scared Hitless defense, moving to 3-2 on the season. 

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

 

SCARED HITLESS VS GREY HAIR – DON’T CARE (+6) - If Grey Hair is going to get a win this season, this would have to be the game. Scared Hitless can’t stop a beach ball, but their offense should be enough to outlast Grey Hair. SCARED HITLESS BY 8

THE MALONES VS PASSING WHILE INTOXICATED (+4) - The first game of the terrible schedule luck for PWI as they get a HELL of a day this Saturday. A Malones team that just lost their first game is going to be very, very ready to get back in the win column. THE MALONES BY 9

JABRONIES VS PASSING WHILE INTOXICATED (+3) - It doesn’t get much better for PWI as they get to battle the Jabronies in the second game, fresh off their big win last weekend. They can’t afford to lose this game going into the final week. JABRONIES BY 2

D3

 

LAST WEEK’S SCORES

 

Wanderers 35, Bullet Club 20
D-Generation X Y and Z 30, Interdimensional Lightning Falcons 0
Buffalo Vice 42, GirthQuakes 29
Cunning Stunts 43, Practice Squad 24

 

The Wanderers handle Bullet Club, DXYZ makes easy work of ILF, Buffalo Vice outlasts the Girthquakes, and the Stunts nearly double up on Practice Squad. 

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

 

BULLET CLUB VS PRACTICE SQUAD (+7) - Practice Squad isn’t having the best of seasons, but they’re the definition of “always dangerous”. Bullet Club is 4-2, but they actually have a negative point differential. They have 4 one score wins, and have lost by 20 and 15. Perhaps their record is a bit lucky? PRACTICE SQUAD BY 1

WANDERERS VS BUFFALO VICE (+5) - It’s Buffalo Vice’s turn at the Wanderers, and they aren’t as far off as one might think. Vice scores just slightly less and allow just slightly more than the Wanderers do, so they’re going to give them a game. WANDERERS BY 2

D-GENERATION X Y AND Z VS GIRTHQUAKES (+9) - After DXYZ’s demolition of ILF, they now get a Girthquakes squad looking for (another) big upset. The GQs are hard to handle if you sleep on them, but most teams have learned not to do that. D-GENERATION X, Y, AND Z BY 14

D4

 

LAST WEEK’S SCORES

 

Two Tuddies 51, Come from Behind 12
Mike’s Detailing 45, Ready to Retire 6
Puckett All-Stars 31, PowerPuff Girls 17

 

The Two Tuddies continue to cruise, beating Come From Behind. Mike’s Detailing beats up on Ready To Retire to remind everyone that they’re a part of this championship picture as well, and Puckett pulls ahead as the clear #2 in the division, taking down the Powerpuff Girls. 

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

 

POWERPUFF GIRLS VS COBBLESTONE (+8) - Okay, if the PPGs lose this one, they should be in full blown panic mode. The PPGs are only averaging 20 points a game, which is causing them the biggest issues as they still play pretty well on defense. Cobblestone, however, does not. POWERPUFF GIRLS BY 12

MIKE’S DETAILING VS COME FROM BEHIND (+7) - Mike’s Detailing put up 45 points and they’re looking poised to take a run at the D4 title, even if they have a little work to do. However, they also have 3 more games to really dial things in, and a game against a Paul-less CFB should help. It hasn’t been the easiest season on the CFB side of things, but you can never fully count them out. MIKE’S DETAILING BY 14

TWO TUDDIES VS PUCKETT ALL-STARS (+6) - There’s a bye in D4. Right now, the Two Tuddies hold that position. A win here guarantees that they’ll be able to avoid the first round. A Puckett win, however, puts both of these teams at 5-1, and they’ll have a win each in the head to head series, making next week HUGE for them both. PUCKETT ALL-STARS BY 2

D5

 

LAST WEEK’S SCORES

 

Balls Deep 30, Stir the Sauce 6
Blitzkrieg 45, Sausage McMuffins 35
Bridget & Quit It 45, Pit Harade 22
Not So Sticky 38, Mo’ Chicken 12

 

The line between the “haves” and the “have nots” continues to grow. Balls Deep makes easy work of STS, Blitzkrieg holds off the McMuffins, BQUIT takes care of Pit Harade,and NSS has no issue with Mo Chicken. 

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

 

BRIDGET & QUIT IT VS SAUSAGE MCMUFFINS (+10) - BQUIT continues to impress this season as they try their best to avoid slipping into the 4v5 first round playoff matchup with either STS or NSS. Getting the McMuffins who as we know aren’t having the best of times should still have that working well. BRIDGET & QUIT IT BY 13

 

PIT HARADE VS MO’ CHICKEN (+3) - Pit Harade can’t quite improve their standings placement much over the rest of the season, but they can continue to get on the same page before the playoffs. A loss to winless MO could probably damage any confidence grown over the season. It’s been rough for Mo’ Chicken, but this is their best shot at a win, so expect them to go hard for it. PIT HARADE BY 10

 

BALLS DEEP VS NOT SO STICKY (+8) - Balls Deep keeps scoring and they’ve yet to allow 100 points on the season. They’re tearing up D5 to where they need to consider D4 in the spring regardless of how the playoffs go. Not So Sticky will present them with a challenge, but I’m not sure they’ll be able to slow the offense down enough to pull off the win. BALLS DEEP BY 8

D6

 

LAST WEEK’S SCORES

 

Three Tuddies 28, Puck Bunnies 8
Flying Balls 42, Intentional Clowning 0
TMA 24, Irish Giants 18
Irish Giants 25, The Chargers 18
Select 25, Sticky Laces 24
Blue Ballers 48, Four Tuddies 6

Three Tuddies got in the win column, beating the Puck Bunnies while the Flying Balls continued to thrive, shutting out IC. TMA beat the Irish Giants, who then decided to shock the world and take down The Chargers. Select slipped by the Sticky Laces for another win, and then the Blue Ballers just trounced the 4Tudz by 42. 

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

 

TMA VS INTENTIONAL CLOWNING (+2) - The final bye is still up for grabs and both of these teams need this win. A loss by Clowning probably takes them out of the running, while a TMA loss definitely hurts them. Both teams are pretty similar, so this should be a good one. TMA BY 1

THE CHARGERS VS PUCK BUNNIES (+20) - The Chargers lost last week, but apparently didn’t have most of their team, which explains that. The Puck Bunnies lost last week, and did have most of their team, which explains that. This might be one to not look at directly. THE CHARGERS BY 24

STICKY LACES VS RAW MILKERS (+4) - The Raw Milkers return after two weeks off, and hopefully that sabbatical helped them remember how to play football. Sticky Laces have had an up and down season, with sadly more downs than they wanted so far. This is a pretty good battle for positioning in the standings. STICKY LACES BY 8

FOUR TUDDIES VS THREE TUDDIES (+1) - The Tuddies Bowl! What a matchup here. While the Four Tuddies have more wins, the Three Tuddies have a statistically better offense and defense. This one should be fun. THREE TUDDIES BY 1

FLYING BALLS VS FOUR TUDDIES (+21) - And then the Four Tuddies get to play the Flying Balls, who are still just whipping everyone. FLYING BALLS BY 27

BLUE BALLERS VS SELECT (+3) - Select has a sneaky good defense, and with the Blue Ballers coming to throw bombs, they’re going to get tested. Big time. They may slow them a little bit, but I don’t know if they can score enough to stick with them. BLUE BALLERS BY 13

FIVE QUESTIONS FOR SATURDAY

 

 

• WHAT TEAM IS NOBODY THINKING OF AS A CONTENDER RIGHT NOW AND WHY SHOULD THEY BE ONE? Actually, it’s Select. They’re averaging 18.8 points against on defense. They held the Flying Balls to “only” 37 points. And in their 3 losses? They’ve lost by 4 (Irish Giants) and by 6 (TMA). So there’s a world where they’re 5-1 and have only lost to the Flying Balls. 

 

 

 

• WHO HAS THE MOST ONE SCORE WINS AND WHO HAS THE MOST ONE SCORE LOSSES? A pretty good indicator of good luck/bad luck/no luck, it seems that a few teams have had a decent amount of close games this season. 

 

 

Best One Score Games Records:

 

Bullet Club (D3): 4–0
Puckett All-Stars (D4): 2–0
Two Tuddies (D4): 2–0
TMA (D6): 2–0

 

Worst One Score Games Records: 

 

Grey Hair – Don’t Care (D2): 0–3
Can’t Touch This (D2): 0–3
Ready to Retire (D4): 0–3
Sticky Laces (D6): 0–3
Puck Bunnies (D6): 0–3

 

 

• ARE THE JABRONIES THE NEW FAVORITES TO WIN D2 OR WILL THE MALONES BOUNCE BACK? Can’t it be both? I think it’s fair to call these two Co-Favorites at this point. I’d say they’re going to meet in the finals, but Can’t Touch This still exists and they’re looking better and better. 

• WHO ARE YOUR CURRENT TITLE FAVORITES AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE RACE FOR SOCIAL CO-ED TOUCH FOOTBALL IMMORTALITY? Going in order of D1-D6: Legends, The Malones, Wanderers, Puckett All-Stars, Blitzkrieg, and The Chargers. 

 

 

• WHO HAS THE HIGHEST AND LOWEST SCORING GAMES ON AVERAGE THIS SEASON? Ooh this could be fun. Let’s see here. 

 

Highest Scoring: 

	Cunning Stunts	D3	81.2
	Buffalo Vice	D3	72.0
	Flying Balls	D6	70.3
	Legends	D1	62.8
	Blue Ballers	D6	62.5

Lowest Scoring: 

	TMA	D6	33.5
	Ready to Retire	D4	42.0
	Mo’ Chicken	D5	42.7
	Select	D6	44.4
	Cobblestone	D4	46.3

I’m not entirely sure what all of this tells us, but it’s pretty interesting to see some of these numbers. I never realized just how low scoring TMA games are. 

TEN FINAL THOUGHTS FOR SATURDAY

 

 

• Buffalo weather is looking to be 78 degrees and another perfect day for football, which can only mean the playoffs will be decided in a snow tornado. 

 

 

 

• Games of the Day: 

• 10:00 - Wanderers vs Buffalo Vice

• 11:00 - Three Tuddies vs Four Tuddies

• 12:00 - The Malones vs PWI

• 1:00 - Two Tuddies vs Puckett All-Stars

• 2:00 - Balls Deep vs Not So Sticky

 

 

 

• I was told that Garrett is having a dart tournament after the games this week, so stick around after the games and participate! 

 

 

 

• Every game in D6 matters somehow in terms of seeding, playoff byes, just everything. 12 teams is chaos, but it’s also a lot of fun to watch. Maybe not to play in. 

 

 

 

• Three playoff dark horses: Mavericks, Buffalo Vice, and Mike’s Detailing. Watch. 

 

 

 

• If you have anything more to add to your team and how they’re viewed, you can always email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. today! 

 

 

 

• Teams, please bring an alternate color to your games (white usually works well here) in an effort to stop having teams wearing the same exact colors during games. Have your captain double check what color your opponents are going to be. Make things easier for everyone. 

 

 

 

• Remember that refs are doing you the favor of refereeing your games, and if we have any hope of encouraging new people to help out, having you scream at them about every play isn’t the way to do it. No ref has ever changed their mind because the red-faced, spittle flying, lunatic said they should. 

 

 

 

• Seriously, what’s wrong with the Powerpuff Girls? 

 

 

 

• Reminder not to bring any outside alcohol to the fields. It’s not worth getting caught and suspended over, and potentially ruining your team’s playoff chances. Don’t put the league in that position.
