The Mac Attack scored their first "Helmet" of the year after many close calls against the Hammer Heads. Schroeder wasn't even necessary. The Mac Attack may have found a solution at their "WR" problem. They may have picked up a diamond in the rough with Robinson. The Hammer Heads just want a break in the schedule. Beuerlein has not been able to reproduce the magic of Week 6 when the Heads upset the Dream Team and the Heads thought had thouhgt they had solved their "QB" problem. Emmitt has been solid, but can't do it alone. The Pre-Game Hype:The Mac Attack will try to hold on tight to the Elite Spot that they struggled to earn against the Hammer Heads. The Heads will try to survive this 3 game stretch against the high scoring teams. The Predictions: Spock: Mac Attack 45 Hammer Heads 39 Spock's Predictions based on Points For, Points Against and Winning % |

The "Game of the Week" goes to the contest between the Quiet Storm and the Sharks. The Storm, Peterson and a 22 pt. lead were enough to edge the Sharks and Favre in a bit of Monday night Madness. The Storm was led by another ho-hum 3 TD, 300 yard performance by Kurt Warner and a breakout game by Alexander. Remember all those jokes about Curt Warner of Penn State/Seattle fame. The only one laughing now is the Storm and of course Norm. The Sharks has settled into an every other week pattern, that probably will not keep them above the Elite Line if it continues. The Pre-Game Hype:The Quiet Storm and Sharks square off in a contest that looks like it could be a real shootout, both teams being members of the increasingly less exclusive 300 club.

The Dream Team, Kitna, Levens, Freeman, the SEAHAWKS and a 16 pt. lead were just way too much for the Bulldogs and Watters to overcome. The Bulldogs only managed 9 pts. on Sunday as Aikman returned to his career stature as a Fantasy Football bum. The Bulldogs again tried to slip by with Hicks at the starting RB slot. The Dream Team only had half their squad going on Sunday and still managed to carry a decent lead into Monday night. The Pre-Game Hype:The Dream Team and Bulldogs will fight for household bragging rights in a match-up of father against sons. The Bulldogs continue to astound as they are 5-2 depsite a modest point total. The Predictions: Spock: Dream Team 48 BullDogs 38 Spock's Predictions based on Points For, Points Against and Winning % |

The Black Revenge won the 1st edition of the 99 Black Bowl against the Black & Blue Attack. Both teams put up some good numbers. The Black Revenge, despite winning did manage to mangle their lineup as they could not pull the trigger on benching Williams. In their defense he is as healthy as he's been all year and he was going up against Cleveland, but a backfield of Taylor and Davis is menacing. The Black & Blue must have ang ered the Scheduling Gods with that Dilfer trade as they would have beat many other teams. The Pre-Game Hype:The Black & Blue Attack and Black Revenge square off in yet another "Battle for the Basement" contest. This is the first "Black" bowl that I can remember that really has NO elite spot implications. The Predictions: Spock: Black & Blue 48 Black Revenge 39 Spock's Predictions based on Points For, Points Against and Winning % |
