The early window opens with six matchups and a scoreboard that hasn't moved yet. The standings after three weeks show six teams at 2-1 and six at 1-2, but that distribution will shift by evening. The numbers as filed by Tony Malone are the numbers; the week will write its own arithmetic.
The Front Office (2-1, 319 points for, 311 points against) visits Fourth & Long (1-2, 329 points for, 349 points against). The Front Office has allowed the second-fewest points in the league. Fourth & Long has scored only 329, ranking 11th. If the mechanism holds, this game is a low-scoring affair where one mistake decides it.
Hot Route Holliday (2-1, 311 points for) faces Two Beers Deep (1-2, 288 points for). Deshawn Holliday has won five of seven meetings with Pat Gallagher, a rivalry that has seen the two bottom teams in points for this season. Something has to give in a game where both sides need to prove their offense can travel.
The rest of the slate includes the top-of-the-table collision between Cold Brew Crew and The Regrettables, and the rest of the 1-2 pack trying to even up. The scoreboard is blank. Check the next window for movement.
