2024 Matchups to Watch

Week 5 - Aidan vs. Dave - The Chairman takes on The Apprentice.  Dave took their only matchup last season by a score of 147.74 to 109.74 on his way to his first Lahey Bowl title.

Week 8 - Mike vs. Bijan - The only two multi-time champs of the Sunnyvale League meet up for a 2021 Lahey Bowl rematch at a pivotal point in the middle of the season. Mike functionally leads this matchup 3-2 all time (technically, we were matched up in Weeks 16 and 17 last year after we had been eliminated from the playoffs, but I'm not counting those as real games since we weren't competing for anything).

Week 8 - JH vs. Rob - JH has historically had Rob's number (5-3 all time). Last season, a Week 9 loss to JH kicked Rob under .500 and he would fail to win a game for the remainder of the regular season. In the first round of the Berris Bowl, Rob salvaged a victory en route to the Berris Bowl title game.

Week 10 - Kyle vs. Rob - A rivalry as old as time and a rematch of the inaugural Berris Bowl. Kyle holds a 6-4 advantage in this rivalry all-time. In 2023, he was probably the first person in league history to hand the same opponent 3 Ls in the same season (Week 2, Week 13, Berris Bowl).

Week 11 - Kyle vs. James - This just caught my eye as the most lopsided matchup between 2 of the Sunnyvale League's original franchises. Kyle leads James 7-1 all-time, including wins in the final week of the regular season in 2021 and 2022, and a first round win in the Berris Bowl playoffs last year.

Week 12 - Dave vs. Petix - This rematch of last year's Lahey Bowl comes at a pivotal point down the stretch of the season. Dave & Jon are tied 4-4 all time. In addition to participating in Lahey Bowl VII, they also contested the 3rd closest game in league history in 2021, with the Chairman claiming a 120.6 to 120.44 victory.
