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

  Week 14 finds 5 teams with legitimate championship shots. Another has a decent shot at a Elite spot. Three others have very little hope and one team has officially been eliminated. And the worst thing is that team is mine.

  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 repeat their early season victory over the Quiet Storm and break away from the first place pack at 9-5. The Tsunami Brothers will try to also break away from the pack by completing the sweep of the Body Shop. The Good Fellas will try to avenge their early season loss to the M. Takers and also break away from the 9-5 pack. The Jelly Beans will try to keep their Championship hopes by completing the sweep of the Dream Team. The Young Gunz will try to keep their Championship hopes alive by completing the season sweep of the Black Revenge.

  Norm was 2 of 5, making him 21 of 45 (47%) on the year. He retains top billing. Spock was 2 of 5, making him 23 of 45 (51%) on the year. His locks appear below:

BB -15 QS (253)     DT -1 JB (243)
TB -17 BS (245)     YG -1 BR (245)
GF  -6 MT (256)

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

  The Black & Blue Attack avenged their week 5 loss to the Body Shop and climbed back into a tie for first place. The Attack was led by Rice, Peterson and Clark. The Shop was led by Rome in the loss. Although it did not make a difference one has to wonder why Coach Casey keeps showing DeSean Jackson the pine. With our scoring system, I'd be afraid to bench the guy setting the record for most long TDs in one year.

  The Jelly Beans kept their Elite hopes alive by sweeping the M. Takers. The Beans were led by Charles and Welker. Thomas Jones led the Takers in the loss that pretty much crushed their Elite hopes. Starting Moreno, Berrian, Shockey and the TEXANS would have given the Takers the "W" and kept those slim hopes alive. It also would have allowed that little guarantee to last more than one week.

  The Quiet Storm climbed out of the basement by completing the sweep of the championship contending Tsunami Brothers. The Storm was led by Alex Smith and Grant. Nicks and Manning led the Brothers in the loss. Actually Mannaing and Nicks were the only ones to reach double digits. The Brothers supporting staff came up small with the title on the line. Despite this, the Brothers are still very much in the running for the trophy.

  The Young Gunz and a 54.9 point lead were too much for the Dream Team, Davis and Crabtree. Marshall and the EAGLES led the Young Gunz too their large lead going into Monday night. Brees and Crabtree led the Dream Team as they once again came up short. Their 124.6 point total would have against many opponents this week, but not their actual opponent. The "W" keeps the Gunz Championship hopes alive. The loss officially ends the Dream Team season (currently third in scoring but last in the standings).

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Good Fellas and the Black Revenge. The Fellas came in riding a 6 game winning streak. The Revenge was riding a 5 game losing streak. It was truly the hottest team vs. the coldest team. On paper, the Fellas win this going away. Too bad, we play fantasy football on LCD displays and not paper. The Revenge carried a 45.3 point lead into Monday night against the Fellas, Warner and Gore. Gore did his part as he and running mate Chris Johnson led the Fellas. Warner had a vintage-GIANTS type game instead of a RAMS or CARDINAL type of game and the Fellas fell back into a 3-way tie for first. The Revenge was led by Shaub, Andre Johnson, Fred Davis and Mason in the "W" that got them back to .500 and still in the running for a Elite Spot as well as the season sweep of the Fellas.
