SPOCK'S LOCKS FORMAT - Favorite w/Spread on top - Underdog w/Under-Over in parenthesis

    Week 13 finds the Black Revenge pulling away. A two game lead combined with a point advantage on most of the contenders is tantamount to a 3 game lead with only 4 to go. The same can be said for the Mac Attack and Dream Team. We are now at the time where teams have to win out and may need some help too. Lastly, there is another Thursday game on week 14.

Key Match-Ups to Watch this Week.
    The Sharks take on the Bulldogs in repeat of their week 5 match-up. The Sharks are playing to avoid the basement. The Bulldogs still have a serious chance to jump back up in the Elite. On a side note, the Sharks are looking forward to possibly getting Super- Kurt back this week. The Dream Team will try to keep their slim Monday hopes alive by repeating their early season win over the Jelly Beans. The Beans are playing to stay out of the basement and for family pride. The Hammer Heads will try to keep their recently attained Elite spot by avenging their early season loss to the Mac Attack. The Mac Attack will have to beat the "Hot" heads to keep their Elite hopes alive. The Quiet Storm will try to keep their Championship hopes alive against the M. Takers. The Storm is going to need a bit of help, but they do face the Revenge once more, so anything is possible. The Takers are in the logjam in the basement trying to break free. The Black Revenge will try to sweep this year's Black Bowl put another nail in the competition's coffin. The Black & Blue finally climbed back up in the Elite after a mid-season swoon, but their low point total may come back to haunt them.

    Spock was 4/5 making him 31/60 (52%) on the year. He retains top billing this week. Norm (actually my guesstimates) was 2/5 making him 29/60 (48%) on the season. His lines (actually my guesstimates) appear below:

 S  -3 BD (90)    MT  -3 QS (94)
DT  -7 JB(109)    BR  -9 BB(102)
MA  -1 HH (99)

    Most games were over on Sunday. There was one game where the team behind had a few players going, but they were way behind. The other game that was tight pretty much hinged on whether Biakabatuka would even see the field.

    The Hammer Heads won their 5th in a row against the reeling Jelly Beans. The Heads were led by a 42 point running game. The Beans receiving corps let them down.

    The Dream Team completed the season sweep over the M. Takers in the "Football Central" bowl. The Dream Team was led by Randy Moss and got 16 points out of 1 week plug-in players. The Takers put up a decent score, but they were somewhat let down by their Thanksgiving overload.

    The Black & Blue Attack avenged their Week 4 loss to the Bull Dogs and jumped into the Elite. The Bull Dogs fell out of the elite. The Attack was led by Gannon, Taylor and Toomer. The Bull Dogs got a lackluster performance out of all their starters save Eddie George. The Dogs were in prime position to challenge for the trophy a couple of weeks ago and now they have a battle to get back in the Elite.

    The Black Revenge, Freeman and a 62-point lead were too much for the Sharks, Green, Muhammad and Longwell to overcome on Monday night. The Revenge tightened their grip on the trophy with an MVP performance by Mike Anderson. They also got a nice game out of Harrison after a small slump. Gus Frerotte returned to what you might expect from a backup, so much for the second coming of Warner. The Sharks have not been able to replace Warner at QB, and it now appears that his return in Week 14 may be a case of too little-too late.

    The "Game of the Week" honors go to the match between the Mac Attack and the Quiet Storm. The Storm and a 5-point lead were too much for the Mac Attack and an injured Biakabatuka to overcome on Monday Night. The Storm is keeping pace with the Revenge. With a Week 16 game remaining between the Revenge and the Storm and point advantage to the Storm, one slipup by the Revenge could setup a mini Superbowl in week 16. The Mac Attack was partially done in by injuries at the RB position and a coaching error at the PK position. Mare has been solid so far this year so it is hard to place blame there. Bruce came up small when the Attack needed him most. Those 6 points from Emmitt could have come in handy as well.
