Ladies and Gentlemen of the TSL Universe, the TSL Fall 2025 season is full speed ahead and showing zero signs of slowing down. Now that teams have finally played more than half their games, they’re starting to get on the same page, and the teams that started off hot are looking a little more mortal nowadays as the other teams are catching up (and in some cases, passing) them. Week 5 gave us teams falling from the ranks of the unbeatens (Sticky Bandits, Wanderers, Powerpuff Girls, Puckett, Bridget & Quit It) and it gave us teams finally getting in the win column for the first time this season (GirthQuakes, Pit Harade). The Race For Social Co-Ed Immortality is heating up amongst all of the divisions and it’s one of the most exciting times of the season. But who’s hot? Who’s not? Let’s try to break it down. 

 

GOOD NOT BAD

 

-The Two Tuddies not only stayed on top of D4 and stayed undefeated, but it was HOW they did it, defeating both Puckett and the Powerpuff Girls, handing them their first losses of the year. 

 

-Girthquakes didn’t just pick up their first win, they did so by beating the Wanderers. This is the second straight season they picked up a win against a top team, and the GQs are headed in the right direction. 

 

-Blitzkrieg is 3-0 in their last 3 games after sweeping their games last week. They’re firmly in second place in D5, and they’re coming for Balls Deep. 

 

-The Irish Giants have played back to back doubleheader weeks, and they have gone 3-1 in those games, rocketing them up the D6 standings. The only loss was a 2 point game against the Blue Ballers.

 

-Don’t look now, but the Mavericks are doing that “coast under the radar thing” that they do. After a slow start as they adjusted to D1, they’re back to scoring 30+ points a game the last few weeks, going 2-1, and the loss was a close, 4 point game with Eyes Downtown. 

NOT GOOD NOT BAD JUST WHAT WE EXPECT

 

-The Legends are just Legending. Undefeated, winning comfortably. 

 

-The Wanderers may have lost last week, but other than that they’ve been cruising along at the top of D3, as they always tend to do. 

 

-Balls Deep continues to cruise, leading D5 in wins, points for, points against, and everything else. 

BAD NOT GOOD

 

-For the first time in a long time, the Powerpuff Girls looked bad, dropping two games last week. Uh Oh. 

 

-Bridget & Quit It also lost twice last week, in games against their main competition for the D5 title. 

 

-Blue Ballers went on the TSL Podcast and called their shot against The Chargers, only to be dismantled by them. 

 

-Something is seriously wrong with the Sausage McMuffins. 

 

-Cobblestone. 

D1

 

LAST WEEK’S GAMES

 

What a Dump 56, Sticky Bandits 33

Eyes Downtown 50, Unit Ha Ha 21

Frodo Swaggins 45, Unit Ha Ha 38

Mavericks 35, Freeballers 21

 

What A Dump gets a big win over the Sticky Bandits to show they’re much more of a threat than people give them credit for. Unit Ha Ha has a laughable day on the fields, as they go 0-2 with losses to Eyes Downtown and Frodo. Meanwhile the Mavericks keep rolling as they scoot by the Freeballers. 

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

 

STICKY BANDITS VS MAVERICKS (+6) - Sticky Nation didn’t have the most fun at the fields last week, getting dumped on by WAD. Mavericks are starting to play better overall. Could the Mavs catch them at the right time? No. STICKY BANDITS BY 3

LEGENDS VS EYES DOWNTOWN (+10) - Legends continue to sleepwalk their way towards the playoffs, but games against Eyes Downtown are never guaranteed for them. ED gives them a battle. LEGENDS BY 2

 

LEGENDS VS STICKY BANDITS (+8) - The Legends continue their tour of “most likely D1 title game opponents” today with a killer double header. No rest advantage here for either team. LEGENDS BY 9

 

EYES DOWNTOWN VS FREEBALLERS (+14) - The Freeballers continue to improve, even if the final scores don’t always show it. EYES DOWNTOWN BY 18

D2

 

LAST WEEK’S GAMES

 

Passing While Intoxicated 25, Grey Hair – Don’t Care 0
The Malones 52, Scared Hitless 47

 

Not many games in D2 this week, but they were interesting. The Malones stayed undefeated after a close win over Scared Hitless who almost secured the upset, and PWI found their groove as they shut out GHDC. 

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

 

CAN’T TOUCH THIS VS GREY HAIR – DON’T CARE (+10) - GHDC is still looking for their first win, and while getting a CTT team that isn’t having the season they dreamed of this time around should potentially be a good thing, they just won’t be able to score enough to keep up. CANT TOUCH THIS BY 14

 

THE MALONES VS JABRONIES (+3) - This is a MASSIVE game out of D2, arguably the game of the day. The Malones have been ON FIRE this season, but they don’t look untouchable (Untouchaballs?) at all. The Jabronies have been just quietly and consistently good all year and I think we’re going to get their coming out party this week. JABRONIES BY 1

 

PASSING WHILE INTOXICATED VS SCARED HITLESS (+2) - Here we have two teams in the same boat. They’re not quite in the top tier of D2, but they’re not too far off from it either. Both teams have an outside shot at a bye week in the playoffs, and a win here will give them the advantage. SCARED HITLESS BY 3

 

  

 

D3

 

LAST WEEK’S GAMES

 

Cunning Stunts 62, Buffalo Vice 46
GirthQuakes 35, Wanderers 33
Wanderers 41, Cunning Stunts 27
Bullet Club 32, D-Generation X Y and Z 30
Interdimensional Lightning Falcons 45, Practice Squad 27

 

The Cunning Stunts put up some big numbers on Vice before falling to 1-1 with a loss to the Wanderers. The Wanderers also went 1-1, losing for the first time this season to the GQs. Bullet Club continues its hot streak, knocking off DXYZ in a classic, and ILF handled Practice Squad quite easily. 

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

 

WANDERERS VS BULLET CLUB (+4) - Here we go again. Wanderers vs Bullet Club has always been a must see TV, especially last playoffs when these two played in an overtime classic. This game has both teams at 4-1 looking for control of the division. WANDERERS BY 2

 

INTERDIMENSIONAL LIGHTNING FALCONS VS D-GENERATION X Y AND Z (+8) - DXYZ has been stuck in the middle of D3, as they’ve only beaten teams with a losing record, while losing to anyone .500 and over. ILF brings their 4-2 record into this one looking to keep the good times rolling. And they do. INTERDIMENSIONAL LIGHTNING FALCONS BY 4

 

BUFFALO VICE VS GIRTHQUAKES (+2) - The GQs get a monster first victory of the season and they’re riding high. Up next for them is a Vice Squad that finds themselves on a three game losing streak. GQs do something they haven’t done before in D3: win twice in a row. GIRTHQUAKES BY 3

 

CUNNING STUNTS VS PRACTICE SQUAD (+8) - Practice Squad’s record isn’t what they want it to be, but they’re not pushovers by any means. Their offense hasn’t been clicking but the Stunts defense hasn’t been clicking either. This game could go either way, but I don’t think the Squad’s offense can keep up. CUNNING STUNTS BY 12

D4

 

LAST WEEK’S GAMES

 

Mike’s Detailing 28, Come from Behind 26
Two Tuddies 45, PowerPuff Girls 8
Puckett All-Stars 28, Ready to Retire 22
Mike’s Detailing 46, Cobblestone 38
Two Tuddies 35, Puckett All-Stars 20
Ready to Retire 38, PowerPuff Girls 9

Mike’s Detailing sneaks by Come From Behind and then goes to 2-0 on the day by beating Cobblestone. The Two Tuddies went 2-0 on the day beating both Puckett and the PPGs, which is an impressive feat. The PPGs would then lose to Ready to Retire later in the day, but Puckett would go on to beat RTR. So many doubleheaders here. 

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

 

TWO TUDDIES VS COME FROM BEHIND (+6) - There may not be a hotter team in the league than the Tud Buds. TWO TUDDIES BY 9

 

MIKE’S DETAILING VS READY TO RETIRE (+2) - Mike’s Detailing continues to remind people not to overlook them after their 0-2 start. They’re back at .500 now, and looking to climb some more. Ready To Retire proved that they do belong in the title picture….just on the outside of it. Big game for each team. MIKE’S DETAILING BY 3

 

POWERPUFF GIRLS VS PUCKETT ALL-STARS (+4) - The Powerpuff Girls had one of the worst football Saturdays in franchise history last week, and playing a VERY good Puckett squad isn’t the easiest way to get back into the win column. But I can’t imagine this team losing three in a row. POWERPUFF GIRLS BY 8

 

D5

 

LAST WEEK’S GAMES

 

Blitzkrieg 42, Bridget & Quit It 28
Blitzkrieg 30, Mo’ Chicken 22
Pit Harade 38, Sausage McMuffins 26
Balls Deep 38, Bridget & Quit It 16
Stir the Sauce 26, Not So Sticky 21

 

Fall Blitzkrieg is in full effect, going 2-0 last weekend, handing BQUIT their first loss in the league (they beat MO too). BQUIT then quickly got their second loss in the league, losing to D5 favorites Balls Deep. Stir The Sauce slid on by Not So Sticky to move to 4-2, while Pit Harade got their first win of the year over the McMuffins.

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

 

BALLS DEEP VS STIR THE SAUCE (+8) - Well, if STS is going to be considered a title contender, here’s the time to show it. BALLS DEEP BY 13

 

BLITZKRIEG VS SAUSAGE MCMUFFINS (+6) - The McMuffins are a train wreck right now, while BK is putting together quite the season. These two are not the same anymore. BLITZKRIEG BY 18

 

BRIDGET & QUIT IT VS PIT HARADE (+8) - BQUIT didn’t have the best week last week, but that just means they’re coming off a hard week of a practice to prepare for this one. Pit Harade got their first win of the season over the McMuffins after some close calls that didn’t go their way this season. They should give BQUIT a test for a little bit. BRIDGET & QUIT IT BY 13

NOT SO STICKY VS MO’ CHICKEN (+7) - NSS gets Mo Chicken just in time to wipe away the disappointment of the loss last week to STS. MO is improving, albeit slowly. NOT SO STICKY BY 15

D6

 

LAST WEEK’S GAMES

 

Four Tuddies 22, Puck Bunnies 16
Flying Balls 46, TMA 18
TMA 6, Select 0
Sticky Laces 30, Three Tuddies 20
Irish Giants 36, Intentional Clowning 29
The Chargers 57, Blue Ballers 20
Irish Giants 21, Sticky Laces 13

 

The 4Tudz get another win, sneaking by the Puck Bunnies. Flying Balls continue to stay on top of the D6 standings, beating TMA. TMA would then go on to win 6-0 vs Select. Sticky Laces got a win over the 3Tuddz before later losing to the Irish Giants. The Giants were 2-0 on the day with a nice win over Intentional Clowning. And lastly, The Chargers continued to dominate, beating the Blue Ballers by 37. 

 

THIS WEEK’S GAMES

FLYING BALLS VS INTENTIONAL CLOWNING (+6) - IC isn’t a bad team by any means, but the Flying Balls have been next level from Day 1. FLYING BALLS BY 17

 

THREE TUDDIES VS PUCK BUNNIES (+4) - Two 0-5 teams clash in this barnburner at 10am. One team will finally taste victory, but which one? The heart wants the Puck Bunnies, the head knows better though. THREE TUDDIES BY 2

 

IRISH GIANTS VS TMA (+4) - The Giants have been playing really, really well, but I think we’re at that point in the season where TMA is going to step up and remind D6 who the hell they are. TMA BY 8

 

THE CHARGERS VS IRISH GIANTS (+10) - Things don’t get easier for the Giants, as they get to play The Chargers in the back half of a doubleheader. Not ideal. They don’t win, but they do one thing nobody else has done yet: hold The Chargers under 40 points. THE CHARGERS BY 16

 

STICKY LACES VS SELECT (+2) - The Sticky Laces have a slightly better offense, Select has a decently better defense. This game probably ends up a tie, but we never pick that, which means SELECT BY 1

 

BLUE BALLERS VS FOUR TUDDIES (+8) - The Blue Ballers took the loss last week against The Chargers and now they get to right the ship against the 4Tudz, a team that’s struggling to figure it out right now. BLUE BALLERS BY 17

BLUE BALLERS VS FOUR TUDDIES (+8) — ML: BB -280 / T4 +220 — O/U 54

Bet accordingly. 

 

 

• WHO IS THE BIGGEST THREAT TO BEAT THE LEGENDS? One has to believe that it’s going to be (if anyone) one of the Sticky Bandits or Eyes Downtown. While the two teams are eerily similar so far this season, if I had to pick one, this season it’s the Sticky Bandits. I think. 

 

 

 

• WHAT GAME ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT THIS WEEK? There’s some big games this week, but if you’re going to watch just one game the answer has to be The Malones vs Jabronies in D2. This is going to be a great game to watch. 

 

 

 

• WHICH D6 BYE WEEK CONTENDER HAS THE EASIEST PATH LEFT IN THE SEASON? WHO HAS THE HARDEST? Well, we have 2 spots locked in with The Chargers and Flying Balls. That leaves two byes left for the Irish Giants, Blue Ballers, Intentional Clowning, TMA, Four Tuddies, Select, and Sticky Laces to fight over. The Blue Ballers have a great offense and the easiest remaining schedule, so let’s pencil them in for one spot. And honestly based on how they’re playing, the Irish Giants more than likely take the other at this rate. 

 

 

 

• WHICH TEAM WITH A .500 OR WORSE RECORD HAS THE BEST SHOT OF A LONG PLAYOFF RUN/MAKING SOME NOISE AT THIS POINT? Let’s go with Ready To Retire. They’ve been in almost every single game. They can put up points. And a veteran squad that can score is a little dangerous come playoff time. 

 

TEN FINAL THOUGHTS FOR SATURDAY

 

 

• The Malones vs Jabronies feels like it’s the D2 title game a few weeks early. 

 

 

 

• Games of the Day: 

• 10:00 - Wanderers vs Bullet Club

• 11:00 - Legends vs Eyes Downtown

• 12:00 - Legends vs Sticky Bandits

• 1:00 - Jabronies vs The Malones

• 2:00 - Powerpuff Girls vs Puckett All-Stars

 

 

 

• There’s a hot rumor that the TSL Banquet, our end of season major awards fancy party, is looking to be on 12/5. Keep the date open! 

 

 

 

• The Stunts are putting up oodles of points but they just can’t stop anyone. 

 

 

 

• Shout out to the Tuddies again for really having a great week last week, they’re in the D4 driver’s seat now. 

 

 

 

• Please remember to not leave your garbage on the grounds all over the fields. 

 

 

 

• If you’re looking to referee and help out the league (and make $30!) please reach out to Garrett, Jeff Krol, or any other TSL celebrity who can point you in the right direction. 

 

 

 

• Week 5 gave us our highest combined scoring game (108 - Stunts 62, Vice 46) and our lowest combined scoring game (6 - TMA 6, Select 0) of the season. 

 

 

 

• You’re looking at a 72 degree, sunny day in Buffalo tomorrow for the games. Should be perfect weather for football. (I’m getting some rain in Des Moines it seems.)

 

 

 

• Remember, if you have anything you want to tell me about your team, or to tell me what you agree/disagree with, email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. today!
