El Pollo Loco enters week 3 unbeaten. However, not in the fashion you would imagine as last weeks match up with Imposing Monstrosity ended in a 103-103 tie. This marks the first tie in franchise history for Loco. It was a down week across the board as only 4 players scored in double digits and Antonio Brown and Ezekiel Elliot combined for 16 points. As disappointing as the score total was for Loco they can't be too disappointed being able escape with a tie. A tie that keeps them undefeated and atop the West division. A tie that sets up a battle of unbeatens. Of course that other unbeaten is none other than 2-0 The Perpetual Dynasty. TPD has been a juggernaut in the league and this season they are defending their first MFFL title. TPD and Loco know each other very well being rivals for the first five years of the league, but this will be their only meeting this year. Both managers have a lot of respect for each other, but TPD holds an 8-2 record over Loco so don't think that Loco doesn't want to give TPD his best shot.

A lot of TPD's success can be attributed to his WR corps over the years. So it is no surprise that he has another stellar set of WRs. This week his starters (at the time of this post) are Odell Beckham Jr., A.J. Green, and Amari Cooper. Oh and his QB is Tom Brady so TPD is bringing a lot of fire power to this match up. Evident by his 151 point total from last week. His gameday managing is arguably the best in the league sitting players that other managers wouldn't dream of so you know he will have his optimal lineup on the field for gametime.

As mentioned above Loco didn't have a great week last week with his stars having down weeks. However, the arrow is pointing up this week for Antonio Brown with a much better match up. Zeke has another tough match up this week, but you gotta think 8 rushing yards could be a career low for him. Outside of his stars Loco has good match ups for Christian McCaffrey, Martellus Bennett, and Tyreek Hill. Loco will need every one to play well in order to keep up with TPD this week, but they really want to see McCaffrey play well.

The experts expect this to whitey tighty tight projecting a score of 132-131 in favor of Loco. Although with their success in the league and Loco specifically we would argue TPD is the favorite. Expect a high scoring close affair and great sportsmanship in this one.
