NORM'S LINES FORMAT (my estimates) - Favorite w/Spread on top - Underdog w/Under-Over in parenthesis

  Week 7 finds every team but 2 are 4-3 or 3-4. What a year this turning out to be. Look who is on top of the standings, it the Elite "Lost Tom Brady in Week 1" Takers. BTW, I was double-checking transactions I had in my system against Sportsline and I had a couple of week 4 transactions missing. This has been corrected in the 50megs site (transaction listings, but not the on line week 4 notes). BTW, by this time next week we could be World Series winners!! Go Phillies!!

  Don't forget to keep an eye on the old web site (http://swffl.50megs.com). It has updated archives and historical records. I will also add some web-exclusive materials there, like the complete 2008 Draft analysis, as I develop them. Anybody with ideas, send them to me and I will see what I can do.

Key Matchups to watch this Week

  The Black & Blue Attack will meet the Jelly Beans, both teams are 3-4, the Beans have climbed to that mark while the Attack has sort of slid down to that mark. The Good Fellas take on the Quiet Storm and both teams are on opposite ends of the 4-3/3-4 log jam. The Tsunami Brothers and M. Takers meet in a contest between 2 of the hottest SWFFL teams. The Dream Team and Body Shop meet in a battle of 4-3 teams. The Black Revenge is in the basement and is meeting the Young Gunz who are speeding their way to the basement.

  Norm lines (my estimates) were 4 of 5 last week making him 18 of 25 (72%) on the year and his lines (my estimates) appear above. Spock's locks were 1 of 5 making him 7 of 25 (28%) on the year, his locks appear below:

BB -5 JB (237)     DT -6 BS (222)
GF -1 QS (225)     YG -7 BR (237)
MT -5 TB (219)

  Two games were over on Sunday. The other three were in for a little Monday Night Madness!!

  The Black Revenge took a step toward the basement door by defeating the Jelly Beans. The Revenge finds themselves only 3 games out of first and only 2 games out of the Elite. The Beans fall under the .500 line, but are still only 2 games out. The Revenge was led by Evans and the BEARs. The Jelly Beans were led by McGahee in the losing battle.

  The Quiet Storm had a 44.2 point lead and Prater in their back pocket on Monday night against the Young Gunz. The Storm has won 2 of 3 and are climbing back to respectability. The Gunz are 0-4 after a 3-0 start. The Strom was led by Big Ben and Johnson & Johnson on the way to their second helmet. Schuab led the Gunz in their 4th loss in a row.

  The Tsunami Brothers, Moss and a 15.2 point lead were too much for the Body Shop and Eddie Royal. Orton, Portis and Moss led the Brothers to victory. Rhodes led the Shop. Both teas left lots of points on the bench. The Shop wins with a Bryant start over Colston and a Brad Johnson start. Of course a Lendale White start by the Brothers makes the whole question moot.

  The Dream Team and a 19.6 point lead were too much for the Black & Blue Attack & Marshall on Monday night. Delhome, Jacobs and Johnson led the Dream team to 4-3. A.P. and Daniels led the Attack in their 3rd loss in a row. A Lindell start would have had the Attack in first and the losing streak ended. On the other hand, if the Dream Team swapped prima-donna WRs (Ocho Cinco for TO) they would have beaten the Attack's best lineup.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the M. Takers and the Good Fellas. The contest was a high scoring affair that was decided in Monday night and decided the current leader in the standings. That is the Game of the Week trifecta. The Takers and Welker overcame a 11.6 point deficit to the Good Fellas on Monday night. The Takers were led by the VIKING double-bubble. The win is the Takers 3rd in a row and put the Takers in first place. This is the same Taker team that appeared to have their season end in the first quarter of Week 1 when Brady was lost for the season. The Fellas wasted a nice performance by Steve Smith and a MVP performance by Steven Jackson. The Fellas fall from the top of the heap to the humungous logjam at 4-3/3-4. So they are one game out of first. They are also one game out of ninth place.
