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

  Week 4 finds only the Body Shop with a 0 in the win column or loss column. Fortunately for the Shop and his carpet-bagging Mets organization, their 0 is in the loss column. The transaction wire has calmed down a bit. We are 19 transactions from meeting that week 17 cap. Despite that the Young Gunz continued their fire sale, parting with the Dez Bryant for an undrafted RB and a 2nd round pick that finds himself on his 3rd team since the draft.

  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 Good Fellas will try to stay above the .500 mark and more importantly the Money line in week 5 against the Fightin' Irish. The Black & Blue will try to keep pace with the Shop by notching another "W" and maybe another helmet against the Roxborough Wranglers. The Bishops of Battle will try to climb above the Money line at the expense of the Dream Team. In a battle of Money teams, the Body Shop will try to keep that winning streak going against the Money Takers. They Young Gunz have finally got that 3-peat thing rolling, will it continue this week against the Jelly Beans.

  Spock was 4/5 last week making him 6/10 (605) on the year. His locks appear above. Norm was 2/5 last week making him 6/10(60%) on the year. His Lines (my estimates) appear below:

FI -1 GF (251)     MT -1 BS (255)
RW -2 BB (246)     YG -2 JB (238)
DT -9 BI (265)

  Two games had a little Monday Night Madness. The other 3 were over on Sunday.

  The Body Shop had the "W" over the Bishops of Battle well in hand by the end of play in Sunday. They (Casey and his Mess of Mets) were hoping maybe they could score the Helmet on Monday night but Gostkowski, like most Patriots this year have been disappointing (believe me I know). The Shop was led by Stafford, Murray and Smith Sr as they remain undefeated. Only Rodgers managed to put up more than 20 points for the Bishops. The Bishops had some help on the bench but not enough to make the difference this week.

  In an extremely close battle the Money Takers held off the Roxborough Wranglers on Sunday night and scored their 3rd W of the year. The Takers and Wranglers each failed to clear 90 points in the lowest scoring game of the week and probably of the last few years. That alone probably kept this game out of Game of the Week honors. Only Brees scored over 20 points for either team. A A Randle or CHIEFS start would have given the Wranglers the "W".

  The Young Gunz notched their first "W" against the Fightin' Irish. Hopkins, Williams and Donnell led the Gunz to a delayed defense of their back to back Championships. Hey Gunz do you have to have a get-to-know-everyone mixer in the locker room before the beginning of each week. The Irish were led by Rivers, Wayne and Allen in the loss.

  The Black & Blue Attack and a 75.9 point lead were too much for the Dream Team, Edelman, Gronk and the PATRIOTs. A few years ago, there may have been a chance here, but not the 2014 Patriots. The Attack was led by Luck, Gore, Brown and Bennett as they kept pace with the Shop and notched their second helmet in a row. Kaepernick and Cobb led the Dream Team as they faced their 2nd helmet of the year.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Good Fellas and the Jelly Beans. The Fellas and 35.1 point held off the Beans and Charles on Monday night (barely). I think there were some worried looks in the Fellas office on Monday night as Charles notched his 3rd TD. The Fellas were led by Nelson and the EAGLES (perhaps the pickup of the year) and they climbed up to .500 and above the Money line. The Beans were led by Ryan and Charles in the loss. An Asiata, Forsett, or Bowe would have kept the Beans in the Money instead of the Fellas.
