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

  Week 6 finds every team with at least 2 wins and no undefeated teams. And forgive me but when did our league become the wheeling-dealing league that it is right now. I don't have a problem with it, but I am used to maybe one or two trades a season. We have multi-player deals going on and we even had somebody trade for a placekicker. I may have to give the M. Takers some sort of "Donald Trump" award for some of the deals they have made. Oh well, I already miss that 0 in the loss column.

  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 2013 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 Bishops of Battle will take on the suddenly shaky Dream Team. The M. Takers will take on the Body Shop with a team that hardly resembles the one they drafted. In a family affair the Jelly Beans will take on the Good Fellas in a "hangover" special. In a battle of .500 teams the Young Gunz will try to outshoot the Fightin' Irish. The Roxborough Wranglers will try to knock the Black & Blue Attack out of their Elite spot.

  Norm was 2 of 5 last week making him 12 of 20 (60%) on the year. He retains top billing and his lines appear above. Spock was 1 of 5 on the week making him 8 of 20 (40%) on the year. His locks appear below:

DT -18 BI (278)     YG -13 FI (263)
BS -12 MT (242)     BB -17 RW (277)
GF -23 JB (277)

  One game was over on Sunday, one was more or less over and only 3 had some Monday Night Madness.

  The Young Gunz defeated the Bishops of Battle and replaced them in the Elite. The Gunz were led by Stafford, Charles and Marshall as they put a pretty sound beating on the Bishops. The Bishops failed to field a 20 point starter, and part of their problem was that the PACKERS wide-outs spent more time with the John Deere operator than catching Rodger passes. While there some points left on the bench for the Bishops, not enough to keep both teams from reaching 3-3.

  The Good Fellas and an 81.1 point lead were way too much the Roxborough Wranglers and Rivers on Monday night. No doubt Rivers has been netter than anyone expected, but that is a bit much. The Fellas scored their second helmet of the year and pulled with in a game and a few points of first place due in large part to nice performances by Lynch, Blackmon (suspensions seem t0 be good this year) the CHIEFS and a monster MVP performance by Vernon Davis. The Wranglers were led by Foster and there were many points on the bench including a really nice game by Newton, however even with all those points the Wranglers would still have come up just a bit short.

  The Body Shop, Brown and Wayne could not overcome a 30.3 point lead held by the Fightin' Irish and Richardson. The Irish were led by Rodgers in the win despite having to grab receivers out of the stands. Brees led the Shop in the loss that landed both teams at 3-3 and under the century mark for the week. The Shop had some bullets on the bench that would have left them tied for second place.

  The M. Takers and a 28.7 point lead proved to be too much for Black & Blue Attack and a not so lucky Luck. The Takers were led by Kaepernick, Morris, V-Jax as they tried to climb up to the middle of the pack. The Attack was led by Moreno and Green in the loss that dropped them to the .500 mark. That 3-1 trade looked good for the Takers in a face to face meeting of the trading teams.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Jelly Beans and the Dream Team. Going into the game this was a contest between the top team and bottom team in the standings. On paper, it looked like a blowout - - - but that is why we play the game (OK, the NFL players play the game and we just score points for their performance, but you know what I mean). The Beans and a 11.9 point lead proved to be too much for the Dream Team and Gates on Monday night. Gates had his worse game of the year and I would guess that even the Beans were worried going into Monday night. The Beans won their second in a row and handed the Dream Team their first loss due in large part to Cutler (over Brady again), D-Jax, and the RAMS (fitting that Norm gets beat by the RAMS). The Dream Team lost despite decent games by Manning (so what is with the hand-offs at the goal line thing), Bush and Nelson (the only PACKER WR left standing). There was no real help on the bench either.
