NORM'S LOCKS FORMAT (My Estimates) - Favorite w/Spread on top - Underdog w/Under-Over in parenthesis

  Sorry for the delay in the notes. The large project I had for work is over so the Notes timing should get better. The waiver wire is still on fire and the Takers are still in first.

  The old website (http://swffl.50megs.com) has updated archives and historical records. I will also add some web-exclusive. Send any ideas to me and I will see what I can do. I added the "CBS Guru" draft analysis to my analysis, and will compare both to the results at the end of the year.

Key Matchups to watch this Week

  The Body Shop will look for a change of luck as they face the Roxborough Wranglers this week. The Money Takers will try to retain their penthouse digs against the Jelly beans in a battle of teams above the Money Line. In another battle of Money Teams the Young Gunz will try to parlay all those points into a win against the Dream Team. The Black & Blue Attack will try to defeat the Good Fellas and stay out of that 2-5 pack at the bottom of the standings. And in a battle within that 2-5 pack, the Bishops of Battle will take on the Fightin' Irish.

  Norm was 3 of 5 this week making 17 of 25 (68%) on the year. He retains top billing. Spock was 3 of 5 this week making him 14 of 25 (56%) of the year. His locks are below:

RW  -1 BS (243)     BB -4 GF (244)
MT -10 JB (236)     BI -2 FI (234)
YG  -6 DT (248)

  Only 1 game was over on Sunday. The other 4 had at least a little Monday Night Madness.

  The closest game of the week was between the Black & Blue Attack and the Roxborough Wranglers. The Roxborough Wranglers were led by McCoy as they now have won 3 of the last 4. The Attack was led by Dak in the loss. A Jones start would have put the Black & Blue above the Money Line.

  The Bishops of Battle carried a 110.1 point lead into Monday night against the Body Shop, Wentz and Agholor on Monday night. Agholor had a nice game and Wentz had an extremely good night, but even that could only cut that lead in half. The Bishops were led by Carr, Bell and an MVP runner-up performance by Cooper. Cooper has not had a passable game since Week 1, had to be a tough call to leave him in the lineup. Wentz led the Body Shop in their 5th loss in a row. Nobody on the bench could have helped the Shop stop the bleeding.

  The Young Gunz, Cousins, Ertz and Pryor carried a very small lead into Monday night against the Good Fellas and Elliot. Now Elliot has performed very well since inheriting the EAGLES kicking gig, but there was no way he was keeping up with a QB, a very good TE and a WR. The Gunz were led by Cousins and an MVP performance by Zeke Elliot. Ingram and Evans led the Fellas in the loss. The Fellas bench had some options on the bench but nothing that would have made a difference in the outcome.

  The Money Takers carried a 57.6 point lead into Monday Night against the Fightin' Irish, Thompson and he EAGLES. The Irish and their Monday night warriors did try their best, but they still came up short. The Takers were led by TB 12, Baldwin, Tucker and JAGUARS in the "W" that kept them at the top of the standings. The Irish were led by Rivers in the loss that kept them close to the other end of the standings. Unfortunately for the Irish, there was no help on the bench that would have made a difference.

  The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Dream Team and the Jelly Beans. You may believe this is Commissioner's privilege again, but in reality this was the closest game of those decided on Monday night. The Dream Team held an 18.1 point lead on Monday night. All that stood between them and their 6th win in a row, were the Beans Alshon Jeffery. Jeffery seems to be the only EAGLES wide-out that did not catch a TD on Monday night and that was enough to give the Beans the "L". The Dream team was led by Big Ben, Hill, Landry and Legatron as they kept pace with the Takers at the top. The Beans were held by Taylor, Gurley and Julio in the loss. Although they retained that last Money Spot, a Murray start would have put a little distance between the Beans and those chasing that Money Spot.
