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

  Week 10 finds 5 teams within 1 game of first place. Another 2 are only 2 games out. That is 7 teams with a legitimate shot at the championship. The other 3 are still alive but each probably needs a miracle of varying sizes to pull it off. My team at 2-8, probably needs a "Moses Parting the Red Sea" type of miracle. The M. Takers probably only need a "69 Mets" type of miracle.

  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 2009 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 will try to complete the season sweep of the M. Takers in contest that features ex-partners. The Black Revenge will try to complete the sweep of the Tsunami Brothers and pull them back into the log jam at second. In a battle of bottom feeders, the Quiet Storm will try to avenge their early season loss to the Dream Team. The Good Fellas would love to repeat their record breaking point-fest once against the Body Shop. The Young Gunz will try to avenge their early season loss and keep up with the pack at the top of the standings.

  Norm was 3 of 5, making him 13 of 25 (52%) on the year. He retains top billing. Spock was 0 of 5 making him 12 of 25 (48%) on the year. His locks appear below:

BB -9 MT (255)     GF -10 BS (256)
TB -5 BR (245)     YG -13 JB (239)
DT -3 QS (247)

  Two games were over on Sunday, one was more or less over. The other 2 had some serious Monday Night Madness!!

  In week 1, the Body Shop and Dream Team battled for the "W" and the week 1 helmet. In Week 10 they went the other way, as they were the only teams not reaching double digits. In both cases the Shop grabbed the "W". The Shop failed to start a 20 point player. The Dream Team wasted a nice performance by Forte. The Dream Team had about 5 different lineups that would have won, but the one they put out there did not, and they have lost 6 in a row. The Dream Team finally faces a low score and they put up the lowest number of points on the week. It is just not my year.

  The Jelly Beans avenged their week 1 loss to the Quiet Storm. The Beans were led by Bush and Jackson as they climbed up to the .500 mark. The Storm wasted a nice performance by Roy Williams. The loss leaves the Storm where they are not used to being, the lower tiers of the standings.

  The Tsunami Brothers and a 53.6 point lead were too much for the Black & Blue Attack and Rice on Monday night. The Brothers were led by Manning and Fitzgerald as they avenged their early season loss and climbed to the top of the standings. The Black & Blue Attack were led by AP in the losing effort. The Attack is still very much n the running, they just lost the inside track.

  The M. Takers and a 32.4 point lead were too much for the Black Revenge, Mason and Heap. The Takers barely survived the Monday night game, but they did and avenged their early season loss to the Revenge and kept their Elite hopes alive. The Takers were ked by Brady, Jones-Drew and Rice. The Revenge had nice games by McNabb and Wayne. A Beanie Wells start would have kept the Revenge in a tie for first place.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Good Fellas and the Young Gunz. This one just about had it all. Both teams scored over 175 points, the winner came form behind on Monday night and in the end the game was decided by a relatively small number of points. The Good Fellas avenged there early season loss to the Gunz on the strength of great games by Warner, Gore, Johnson, Evans and the RAVENS. In fact the RAVENS help the Fellas overcome a 4.5 point lead by the Gunz and Hauschka. The Gunz were led by Hassleback, TJ, Marchal and Moss in the loss. A Maclan and 49ERS start would have kept the Gunz in a tie for first. The win allowed the Fellas to join the 2nd place log jam at 6-4.
