Week 14 marked the trade deadline. This year has seen more trades than all the previous years combined. OK, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I bet you it is not much of one. The top 3 Money Teams lost this week. That means most (ok 7) teams still have legitimate shots at the Money and even outside shots at the Title. Those other 3 teams, well we are making plans for next year and trying (in vain most of the time) to avoid that weekly loss fee.

  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 2015 Draft analysis, and the updated draft slot analysis. Send me ideas and I will see what I can do.

Key Matchups to watch this Week

  In a battle of Money Teams, the Black and Blue Attack will try to sweep the Good Fellas. The Bishops of Battle will try to keep their Money hopes alive by sweeping the Dream Team. The Money Takers, fresh off their first helmet of the year, will try to take aim at a Money Spot by sweeping the Young Gunz. The Roxborough Wranglers will try to pull out of their min-funk by sweeping the Body Shop. The Jelly Beans, failing to take advantage of the Wranglers lost this week, will keep plugging by trying to sweep the Fightin' Irish.

  Norm was 2 of 5 last week making him 33/60 (55%) on the year. He regains top billing this week. Spock was 1 of 5 last week making him 30/60 (50%) on the year. His Locks appear below:

  Three games had some Monday Night Madness. The other 2 were over on Sunday.

  The Good Fellas avenged their early season loss tot he Dream Team. The Fellas were led by Newton, Floyd and Green as they were the only Money Team this week to notch a "W". The Dream Team was led by Rodgers, Gurley, Watkins and Tate in their 9th loss in a row. No offense, but 136 points has won a lot of SWFFL games. I am not sure what we did to offend the Fantasy Gods but let me jsut say I am sorry (9 Ls in a row). We are the only team that has face 1900+ points and only the Body Shop is even close. A JAGUARS and Ertz start would have ended the Dream team misery. The win for the Good Fellas puts them right in the Title Chase.

  The Bishops of Battle avenged their early season loss to the Black & Blue Attack as the Bishops, the GIANTS and a 17.8 point proved to bee too much for Josh Brown on Monday night. The Bishops were led by Blake Bortles (eve thought I'd be typing that name). The Attack was led by DeAngelo in the loss. A Miller start would have had the Attack in a tie for first place. As it is, bot teams find themselves at 8-6 and tied for third (only one game out of first).

  The Figtin' Irish avenged their early season loss to the Body Shop and climbed into a tie for last place as Eli and a 2.5 point lead easily held off the Shop and Parker on Monday nigh. The Irish were led by Manning, Starks and the PANTHERS and have their eyes on the basement steps. The Shop was led Taylor and Hurns as they dropped their 3rd in a row./P>

  The Money Takers completed the season sweep of the Jelly Beans and scored their firs helmet of the year as Odell Beckham and a 23.5 point lead were too much for the Beans, Landry and Franks on Monday night. The Beans had Lacy on the bench, but even starting him would not have given the Beans the "W" and the top spot in the Standings.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Young Gunz and Roxborough Wranglers. There was no Monday night madness, but the game was close and involved the top team in the standings. The Young Gunz completed the season sweep of the Wranglers (probably the only team to do that) based largely on the performances of Brady and Jeffery. The Wranglers were led by Palmer and Decker as they lost their 2nd game in a row. A Lockett start would have had the Wranglers back in a stranglehold of that top spot. Fortunately for the Wranglers none of the other top teams took advantage of their most recent slip.
