How the matchups went

Mourning Mayfield 118-91.1 Bud Light Berto

1-0 / 0-1

Mourning Mayfield handled Bud Light Berto 118-91.1. Lambeau-coded. No drama. Just a win that looked like it had a plan.

1990s Buffalo Bills 75-111.6 Team fantasm

0-1 / 1-0

Team fantasm handled 1990s Buffalo Bills 111.6-75. This is how you close. Minnesota is taking notes and then losing them.

Chubby Johnson 90.6-87 Team Larson

1-0 / 0-1

Chubby Johnson squeaked past Team Larson 90.6-87. A one-score game is where the Vikings usually file the paperwork for another collapse.

12 Yards to the Toilet 100.9-110.8 Seeing Ghosts Out There

0-1 / 1-0

Seeing Ghosts Out There beat 12 Yards to the Toilet 110.8-100.9. Lambeau energy: make a plan and keep it. Purple energy: hope and a horn.

Bye Week 105.5-64.4 Captain Kamaraca

1-0 / 0-1

Bye Week handled Captain Kamaraca 105.5-64.4. Lambeau-coded. No drama. Just a win that looked like it had a plan.

Team Randy 117-100.8 Team Even the Losers

1-0 / 0-1

Team Randy beat Team Even the Losers 117-100.8. SKOL is warming up in the parking lot. That is not a good sign for anyone involved.
