Seven teams topped 400 points in Week 8, but it came down to two former league champs dueling for weekly bragging rights. In the end, CraigS just edges TroyA by two points.
CraigS scored a 416, thanks to a lineup powered by Burrow, Love, Gibbs, B. Allen, Chase, Golden, Bowers, Sanders and the Steelers D.
TroyA (who got to see his Chargers play in person on Sunday) posted a 414 thanks to a lineup featuring Allen, Love, Gibbs, Coleman, B. Allen, Nacua, Golden, Bowers, and the Steelers D.
In addition to being former league champs, they are also friends who have both been Chik-Fil-A franchisees.
This is CraigS‘s first win since Week 1 of the 2025 season and TroyA‘s first payday since Week 17 last year. Congrats to both for their strong showing this week.
Rookie Report:
