2 Vitside 104.9 60
3 The Dream 103.9 60
4 Music City 101.7 58
5 Dark Magicians 104.0 58

13 Mavericks 93.0 45
14 Bring The Pain 89.8 41
15 Cowboy Up 91.4 41
16 Gridiron Geeks 90.6 40

Boom! I'm told Pacific Pigskins have the toughest road ahead at difficulty 68, facing opponents averaging 109.7 points per game. Vitside Mafia (60) and Running down the Dream (60) are right behind them on a buzz saw of their own, and you can see every number in the Gauntlet rankings.

On the flip side, Gridiron Geeks have the easiest remaining schedule at difficulty 40, and it just got easier after dropping a spot. League sources tell me that cupcake run is a gift, so if you think your own slate is tougher than it looks, the trade builder is where you go to fix it before the gauntlet closes in.
