Week 13 finds a dogfight at the top between the top 2 teams with the rest of us 9well most of us anyway) fighting for those last 2 Elite Spots. Speaking of the dogfight, it was very curious that the Wranglers benched a questionable Adrian Petersen for Marion Barber (who was declared out earlier in the week) when playing his brother's team.

  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 2010 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 Revenge will try to sweep the M. Takers and keep their Elite hopes alive. The Dream Team will try to sweep the Roxborough Wranglers in another contest between teams on the outside looking in. The Fightin' Irish will try to repeat their early season win over the Jelly Beans in a contest between two Elite teams. The GodFellas will try to sweep the first place body Shop and climb back over the Elite line after a short visit below it. The Young Gunz will try to sweep the Black & Blue Attack and keep their newly acquired Elite spot.

  Spock was 4/5 last week making him 24/55 (44%) on the year. His gains top billing. Norm was 2/5 last week making him 28/55 (51%) on the year. His lines (actually my estimates) appear below:

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

  The Body Shop completed the season sweep of the Jelly Beans. The Shop was led by the Packer double-bubble and perhaps the draft pick of the year Arian Foster. The Beans were led by their ground game of Jackson and McCoy, What is clear at 135.1 pints the Beans certainly did not deserve s loss. Both teams still have a Elite spot but the Beans bench is looking thin. The Shop is looking solid at the top of the standings with a one game lead and a major lead in total points.

  The Young Gunz avenged their early season loss to the M. Takers. The Guunz jumped back above the Elite Line after a short visit to the dark side. The Gunz were led by Vick, Rice and Boldin. Only McFadden managed to clear the 20 point barrier for the Takers as they failed to win two in a row for the 3rd time this season. Their tragic number is down to one.

  The Black & Blue Attack swept both ends of the Black Bowl, as they defeated the Back Revenge. The Attack was led by Schuab, Johnson, Wayne, Garcon and Davis as they also grabbed their first helmet of the year as well. Only Watson cleared the 20 point barrier for the Black Revenge as they dropped their 3rd in a row.

  The Fightin' Irish swept their brothers and former teammate, the Roxborough Wranglers and kept pace with the Body Shop as Brady, Holmes and Welker easily overcame a 12.7 point lead against Green-Ellis and the JETS. The PATRIOT double-bubble led the Irish to their 4th win in a row. The Wranglers failed to field a 20 point starter. A Peterson start over Barber would have halted the streak by 0.3 points and left the brothers with a season split.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Dream Team and the God Fellas. In another family affair, the Dream Team avenged their early season 4.6 point loss to the Fellas with a 3.2 point win. I have resisted putting myself in the GOW for a while but, when Welker almost made us pay for benching Gates - (my fault - went with a TE I knew was playing), I had no choice. The Dream Team was led by Brees and Bradshaw as they won their 2nd in a row. The Fellas were led by Manning. The defending champion God Fellas have lost 4 in a row and 6 out of 7 and now are more likely to finish below the Elite Line than to defend their title.

CHATTERBOX:(Get Quotes in by Monday Night)
Dream Team (Norm): Suspiciously Absent
M. Takers (Bubba): "What's the deal with the Wranglers, even with my pathetic team, am I the only one scratching my head about that one. I sure would have liked to be playing the Wranglers with an injured Barber without Petersen."
