The Sharks sans Warner defeated the Black & Blue, who reverted to their low-scoring early season phase. The Sharks have won 3 in a row and they have effectively been without their prime stud for a week and a half. Has losing Warner caused the sharks to come together as a team? Who knows? All the same I think Bone will using every means necessary to get that pinky healed. The Attack came out of the draft with a great RB plan, unfortunately "the best laid plan s of mice and men . . ." The Pre-Game Hype:The Sharks take on the Black & Blue Attack without the services of Kurt Warner. The Black & Blue put up big points in Week 8 and hope to continue it this week.

The Mac Attack handed the Jelly Beans yet another defeat as Davis and a 32 pt lead were too much for his Airness. The Mac Attack was led by "the King", who has finally started doing what everybody thought he would do a couple of years ago. The Beans have lost 7 in a row and are in a slide of epic proportions after a really good start. The Pre-Game Hype:The Mac Attack will try and hold on to that last Elite spot vs. the Jelly Beans this week. The Jelly Beans are on a serious losing streak and will look to snap out of it this week.

The Hammer Heads put another nail in the coffin that holds the Dream Team's dreams of a repeat Championship, as the REDSKINS could not overcome a 13 pt lead. The Hammer Heads are starting to get the expected production out much heralded Payton Manning who is trying to shed the early season "bust" tag. The Heads also got a great game out of Alexander, who interestingly enough was bandied about in trade talks between these two teams. I will take the b lame for holding up a possible Levens for Alexander deal. Levens gets injured yet again and Alexander pretty much destroys my team. I've had better weeks. Wasn't Trent Green supposed to gloss over all these little mistakes? The Pre-Game Hype:The Dream Team takes on the Hammer Heads in week 9 and they will try to finally get over that Elite Line. The Heads will try to get themselves back into position for a 2nd half surge.

The "Game of the Week" honors go to the match between Quiet Storm and the Bull Dogs. This week there were slim pickings for "GOW". In this battle to be the number one contender, The Storm and a 28 pt lead were too much for a banged-up Eddie George and the TITANS defense. The Storm was led by the Marshall plan as he racked up 28 pts. Corey "Hall of Fame" Dillon also chipped in double-digit scoring. The Bull Dogs got another disappo inting outing by Beurlein who seems to be "feast or famine" this year. Maybe the Bull Dogs unique strategy of naming position players as Tiebreakers is appropriate in their case. Beurlein is scoring like a receiver (hit or miss) and Owens is scoring like a QB when he is not suspended. The Pre-Game Hype:The Bull Dogs and Quiet Storm square off in a match up of Elite Teams. A key battle because if the Revenge keeps winning, the loser may find the Championship drifting too far away.

The M. Takers put the 2nd blemish on their long-time rival Black Revenge's record. The Revenge still has a 1 game lead but there are just a lot more contenders now. In his weekly preparations, the Toastmaster and Giz looked into their crystal ball and predicted Miami would shut down Favre. Not a major prediction, but too pull Shaun King out of the crystalline enclosed nebulous mist was simply Nostradamus-like. The Takers unruffled by the King move, got balanced scoring with every starter scoring and let the leg of one Sebastian Janikowski kick them out of the basement. The rooks are starting to step up. That trade is looking better all the time. The Pre-Game Hype:The Revenge will take on their long-time rival the M. Takers. The Revenge is trying to coast into their first Championship. The Takers have emerged from their early season slump and are making a valiant effort a t salvaging their season. The Predictions/History: Spock: Black Revenge 63 M. Takers 43 Spock's Predictions based on Points For, Points Against and Winning % |
