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

  Week 15, finds some definition coming to the standings. The Black & Blue Attack and Body Shop have clinched a Money Spot. Four teams are officially eliminated and the final 2 non-Money teams are on their very last leg. In other words they would need a miracle to get into 4th. 3rd Place is out of reach because the Money Takes and Good Fellas play in Week 17. The winner of that game will be in 3rd place or better. Since next week's noted will probably be out after Christmas, I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

  By the way, the old web site (http://swffl.50megs.com) has updated archives and historical records. I will also add some web-exclusive materials there like the complete 2014 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 Good Fellas will try to keep a hold of their newly acquired Money Spot by sweeping the Roxborough Wranglers. The Black & Blue Attack will try and keep their Championship roll going by completing the sweep of the Fightin' Irish. The Dream Team will try to jump back in the Money at the expense of the Money Takers. The Bishops of Battle will try to keep their stretch run going by sweeping the Jelly Beans. The Body Shop will try to keep their Championship hopes alive sweeping the Young Gunz.

  Spock was 4/5 last week making him 42/65 (65%) on the year. He retains top billing. Norm was 1/5 last week making him 32/65 (49%) on the year. His lines (my estimates) appear below:

BI -1 GF (267)     FI -2 RW (262)
BB -2 MT (272)     DT -9 YG (279)
BS -1 JB (269)

  Two games were over on Sunday. The other three games had a little Monday Night Madness.

  The Black & Blue gained a 32.8 point lead on the Fightin' Irish on Sunday and they still had Bennett in their back pocket. By completing the sweep of the Irish, the Attack has all but ensured their 5th SWFFL Championship. The Attack was led by Luck, Brown and Thomas in the victory. Although their 200 point game streak dies at 2, they only need to average 80 points or so in the last 2 weeks to sap their single season scoring record from last year. The Irish failed to field a 20 point scorer ad once again had the low score on the week. Coach Bone is saving all up for a triumphant run in 2015.

  The Money Takers avenged their early season loss to the Dream Team and all but clinched a Money Spot. The Takers were led by Beckham and Bryant as they scored their 2nd helmet of the year. I am trying to minimize my venting (aka whining), but I am tired of being the 2nd or 3rd highest scoring team and losing. If the Dream Team gives up 240 points, they will set a new record for allowing points. Brady and Edelman led the Dream team in defeat.

  The Good Fellas and 37.6 point lead proved to be too much for the Roxborough Wranglers and Bress on Monday night. The Fellas were led by Bell and Olsen as they completed the season sweep of the Wranglers and pretty much locked up a Money Spot. The Wranglers were led by Brees in the loss.

  The Bishops of Battle and a 18.7 point lead were no match for the Jelly Beans and half their team on Monday night. The Beans were led by Cutler as they avenged their early season loss to the Bishops. The Bishops failed to field a 20 point scorer in a game they really needed to keep realistic chances at a Money Spot alive.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Body Shop and the Young Gunz. The Johnny Football experiment looked like it was going to be saved as 33.5 point lead looked like easy pickings for the Shop, Forte, stills and Graham on Monday night. However Johnny managed to drag down those Monday night players and it took them until very late in the game to secure the 2.8 victory for the Shop. The Shop failed to field a 20 point scorer as they clichéd a Money Spot. The Gunz were led by Barth in the loss. A Romo start would have beaten the Shop in a bit of irony. The Gunz won't three-peat, but honestly guys you did not have to give back so much of your winnings back in one year. We would have taken small yearly installments. Johnny Football ... really, really. Somebody should keep Mr. Met away from the keyboard.
