WEEK 8:
The M. TAKERS defeated the ROXB WRANGLERS(160.3 - 153.2)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Money Takers and a 12 point lead were too much for the Roxborough Wranglers and Vance McDonald on Monday night. So here we have the loosing team with a Monday night player, margin of victory under 10 points, both teams scoring 150+ points and a contest between teams tied for first. This is basically the definition of a perfect GOW . . . but not this week. The Takers were led by an MVP performance by Jones and almost MVP performance by Kupp as they climbed back into the penthouse and nabbed their first helmet. The Wranglers were led by Winston, Barkley, Cook and Murray in the loss. Despite the closeness, the Wranglers best score still would have had them looking up at the Takers in the top spot. Pre-Game Hype: The Roxborough Wranglers will meet the Money Takers in a battle of teams tied for first place. The Predictions/History

WEEK 8:
The DREAM TEAM defeated the GOOD FELLAS(135.2 - 134.6)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The "Game of the Week" honors go to the contest between the Dream Team and the Good Fellas. OK this one was decided by less than one point any time I have to sweat out a whole 4th quarter hoping a certain player does not get one catch or even a sweep for a few yards and I check the score at 6AM on a day off, just to make sure some mysterious scoring correction do not come in to take the “W” away, I am taking GOW – call it Commissioner privilege. The Dream Team was led by Goff and Run CMC I the victory that got them back over the Money line. The Fellas were led by Julian and JuJu in the loss. A Mack or Williams start has the Fellas I the 4-4 logjam instead of the Dream Team. Pre-Game Hype: In a family affair, the Dream Team and Good Fellas will try to break out of the pack at 3-4.

WEEK 8:
The B ASSASSINS defeated the JELLY BEANS(149.1 - 97.4)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
In the only game this week that was decided by more than 10 points, the Black Assassins led by Stafford, Evans and Hopkins, defeated the Jelly Beans and joined the 4-4 logjam. The Jelly Beans were led by Julio in their 5th loss in a row. The Beans had some options on the bench, but none that would have stopped the bleeding. The Beans need to turn it around now (Ok wait until Week 10 – since they play the Dream Team in Week 9). Pre-Game Hype: The Black Assassins, fresh off their first helmet, will also try to break out of the 3-4 pack against the Jelly Beans. The Predictions/History

WEEK 8:
The FIGHTIN' IRISH defeated the BODY SHOP(139.0 - 136.1)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Fightin’ Irish, the STEELERS and a 27.4 point lead held off (barely) the Body Shop, Conner and Boswell on Monday night. Now, I imagine there were several lead changes going on in this game, but honestly I was paying more attention to another game. Also, the final score was less than 3 points. This is usually all that is required for a “GOW”, but not this week. The Irish were led by Brady, Thomas and Fells in the victory that pulled them up to 4-4. The Shop was led by Allen and Conner in the loss that pulled them down to 4-4 and out of the Money. A hobbled Keenan Allen start over Waller would have kept the Shop in a tie for 2nd. Pre-Game Hype: The Body Shop will try to hold on to that last Money spot at the expense of the Fightin’ Irish (also locked in at 3-4). The Predictions/History

WEEK 8:
The CROATANS defeated the BLACK & BLUE(108.7 - 105.7)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Croatans eked out a “W” against the Black & Blue Attack. The 3 point victory by the Croatans (led by Golladay) removed the Attack from their first place perch. The Arrack was led by the one-eyed wonder DeShaun Watson and Diggs in the loss. Given the small margin of victory, there Attack had several options (Daniel Jones – always going to use full name here, Sanders or Ridley) on the bench that would have kept the Attack in the top spot. Pre-Game Hype: The Black & Blue Attack just moved in to the penthouse and they will try to stay there by defeating the Croatans (who also are currently 3-4). The Predictions/History
