L THE LEAGUE2026 / WEEK 01
WEEK 1 RECAP

165.86 points.Zero humility.

Gibbs Me Liberty or Death put up 165.86 and drunk drafting had 151.36, so those two are about to be annoying as hell all week. GLIZZY GOD scored 124.20 and still got smoked. Rough start, buddy.

Four starting defenses scored at least 14, which would've been pretty helpful for the guys fighting to stay out of last place. Better Call Hall and Tuten on Em finished just 0.38 apart down there. You guys really made us check the decimals to figure out who's drinking.

The damage.

HUFFGibbs Me Liberty or DeathWINNER165.86
URQBig Boy 9785.46

Caleb Williams went off for 37.26 and Gibbs added 31.10 as Huff beat Big Boy by 80.40. Josh Allen and Jonathan Taylor scored 59.26 of Big Boy's 85.46, so at least two guys showed up for you. Everybody else owes them an apology.

COSSdrunk draftingWINNER151.36
DAWGGLIZZY GOD124.20

Bijan put up 27.30 and seven starters hit double digits for drunk drafting, so whatever you did before the draft, keep doing it. GLIZZY had the fourth-highest score in the league and still lost by 27.16. Didn't even play badly, just got a dogshit matchup.

Week 1 · Final
GFYThe TreylibanWINNER117.16
AKHoo Kim101.16

Jeanty had 29.70 and Amon-Ra added 23.70 to get The Treyliban the win. Hoo Kim, you had Coker's 29.80 sitting on the bench while McMillan gave you 8.00 in the flex. Start Coker there and you win this game, man.

MAGAMonday Night MustardsonWINNER143.26
TOOTTuten on Em75.80

Walker and Watson put up 62.30 together for Mustardson, while Chase and McLaurin managed 4.60 for Tuten. Chuba's 22.20 on the bench didn't help either. You could've nailed every lineup decision and still lost this one, so go ahead and blame everybody.

Week 1 · Final
BRNSGolden Showered in WsWINNER80.60
MattBetter Call Hall75.42

Golden won with 80.60, so send Trevor Lawrence a thank-you text for his 26.10 and don't ask too many questions. Better Call Hall could've put up 83.62 with the right lineup and won. Instead, you lost to 80 points and now we all get to talk about it.

Week 1 · Final
HRHit and RiceWINNER108.14
MKMBijan's Biological Father107.82

D'Andre Swift dropped 31.90 and bailed out Hit and Rice after Bo Nix gave them 5.44. Bijan's Biological Father lost by 0.32 with Pitts putting up zero and Goedert's 21.70 on the bench. I'd be staring at that shit all Tuesday.

*About the Playoff Odds

We played out the remaining schedule 60,000 times and counted how often each team finished in its division’s top three.

Week 1 is fixed at the scores above. The model blends that score with the league’s 2025 scoring average, then uses last season’s week-to-week swings. Points for break tied records, followed by head-to-head.

These are our estimates. With one game played, they depend heavily on the assumptions. Injuries, byes, and roster changes aren’t included yet, and the model hasn’t been backtested.

How we rank the league

Ordered by the weekly scoring strength used in our playoff simulations. This season’s scoring is blended with 4 weeks at the league’s 2025 average, so one huge Sunday doesn’t get the whole vote.

Model Pts / Wk is that scoring estimate. Record is shown for context. Division, opponent scores, remaining schedule and playoff odds don’t affect this order. With the same baseline for everybody, the order follows season scoring average.

The model doesn’t yet adjust for injuries, byes or roster moves. Identical strengths stay tied in value, with team ID keeping their display order consistent.

Good offense. Bad luck?

Right is more points for you. Up is more points for the other guy.

You finished 0.38 below Tuten, and starting the Broncos over the Chargers would’ve been enough to get you out of this. That’s shotgun number one for the year, so grab a beer and tell us what the hell happened.
