Projections below are model-generated forecasts based on season-long scoring rates, recent trend, and matchup context. They are not guarantees. Last week's column called three of six winners, and the three misses were all games the model thought it understood.

The McGriddle Stack at Nguyenning
104.4 – 145.5

The headliner. Two 5-2 teams, the sole lead on the line. Nguyenning is the projected favorite by 41, a wide gap for a first-place game, and the team it is picking against has won three in a row.

Javaris Jamarr Javarison-Lamar at Chasing Last Place
141.6 – 97.0

Stephen Liao projects as the week's highest scorer, a 44-point favorite after losing a 135.78 game. Chasing Last Place scored 145.44 last week, which is the only reason this one is not a lock.

Myers Diggs Type GFYS at Bass To Mouth
85.3 – 122.3

Chad Acevedo gets a projected 37-point margin at home after a loss to Sacrificial Lamb. Myers Diggs projects at 85.3, a number that includes the Week 7 zero.

Sacrificial Lamb at Dart Side of The Beer Mile
121.6 – 105.2

Upset alert. Alan Costanzi is a 16-point road favorite for the first time all season. Tanner Darrell scored a season-high 122.80 in a loss last week, so the model is not ruling out a repeat.

Rashee-d For Speed at Achane Reaction
105.6 – 93.2

The Commissioner is a modest favorite and needs one. Tony Dapontes scored 62.90 last week, so a 93.2 projection is an optimistic number.

All Gas No Drakes at Dakstreets Back, Alright!
106.5 – 104.6

The closest game of the week by 14 points. The defending champion is a favorite by under two against the team that posted the highest score in the league last week.
