Draft Order Keeper Players Owners Pages PlayOffs Point Spread/Preview Schedule Survivor Roster Grid Rules CBS League Site |
Fantasy Football 2008 I just got a new Play Station 2 and about 60 games (Thanks Col.) so I'll make this as brief as possible. The week features 3 games that could be real stinkers, but also 3 games that have real impact and should go right down to the wire and should be fun to watch. Interesting stat of the week: After 6 weeks The Cougars and The Maulers are not only both 1-5 but have scored exactly the same points to date (328). I wonder if they dress the same for work as well? Onto Week 7........
Cougars (1-5) vs. Magic (4-2)
Magic 70 Cougars 45 Maulers (1-5) vs. WoWW (3-3)Preseason, looking at the Maulers, they should have been contenders now they are not much more that league doormats. At some point you have to look at the coach. Case in point: 2 weeks ago the Col pulls the trigger on an Eddie George for Tom Brady trade. At that time Brady was the leagues #1 QB. Since then he has scored a total of 12 points and the perennial 2.4 ypc Eddie George was so pleased to be released form the Maulers cesspool he blew UP last week for 23 for his new team. Coincidence? It may be time for Col. Piro to hire a full time GM to handle the personal. Perhaps Me Kiper Jr. is still available. Of course WoWW hasn't faired much better. After a complete draft fiasco WoWW has been able to salvage at least a 3-3 record but still find themselves buried in last place in the South. This week's game should help them get positive in the W column though as the Maulers continue to struggle to put a complete game together. WoWW 74 Maulers 57 Lightning (0-6) vs. Onslaught (4-2)What's staggering about the lightning is not necessarily their record, I mean lets face it under the guidance of The Puppet Master Sauer, what did you expect? The surprising is the Lightning has allowed 495 points scored against this year. That's over 82 points per game. OUCH! That should get better this week as they face the East Division leaders, The Onslaught though. The Slugs have been on a pretty good tear lately but week seven shows them with 5 staring caliber players on bye. (Note to Owner McQueeney… You do not NEED to pick all your players form the Patriots and Giants.) Either way it should be enough to win this week though, but the Lightning can take some solace in the fact that they should hold them under their 82 point average. Onslaught 75 Lightning 60 Nukers (4-2) vs. Knights (4-2)Here's a very meaningful game in week 7. Both teams again are in second place in their division and remarkably both teams are separated from the top spot not by record, but by the first tiebreaker, points. Talk about division races. The Knights really have picked up where they left off last year with turning in solid performances every week. However The Nukers really have to be considered this year's team of destiny. If ever there was a team the proved that the whims of fate were diabolical and strange, it would be the 2002 Nukers. Coach Ryan really has his "No Name" offence playing way above their potential, but I think the Knight have a bit to much fire power for them this week Knights 68 Nukers
Panthers (3-3) vs. Sharks (3-3) Battle of the Mediocre: Records at 3-3, scoring about average both sides of the ball but this is clearly another one of the games that matter this week. Each team is looking to get into the plus column for the first time this year and both teams are currently second in their respective divisions and need keep pace. The Sharks are coming off a stunning week 6 win over the Storm and The Panthers are coming of a win over the Maulers…for what that is worth. Quite frankly a fantasy powder puff team could beat The Maulers this year, but hey, a wins a win, right? Anyway, both teams have exceptional match ups, particularly at the QB spot. However the Sharks, due to poor play and bye weeks at the running back position, will be forced into playing a 3-wide, fun and gun offensive set which, makes their lineup that much more volatile. For that reason I have to hold my nose and pick the Panthers this week in a close one. Panther 55 Sharks 50
