Week 5 Notes Before the Monday Night Game.
Well coaches, I’ve been busy and did not have time to post comments last week. I will make up for that shortly.
But first things first. Mike (Rifster) just informed me that he lost his father last month. I’m asking everyone to keep him and his family in your prayers. I lost my father to cancer as well a few years back, and my hart goes out to him. God bless you Mike, and I pray God helps you through this most difficult time.
Ok, as you all know Eye’s Exterminators currently holds first place all by herself, but is that going to change? It looks like it! The final score in that game is EE 37, Jerkstore 38. EE dropes to 3-1-1 and Jerkstore gets his second win of the season and is now 2-3-0.
The bye week is affecting everyone this week, so it seems. Another close game is Isola Girls and Village Idiot’s. IG currently has a 2-point lead with no players left to score for her, but VI has Marion Barber yet to play. If Barber can score three points tonight he’ll squeak by with a victory. Time will only tell.
Another close game that is going down to the wire is the matchup between Arnie’s Anchormen and sfrose’s rockes. SR holds a six point lead but both teams have players in tonights game. SF has TO which has been playing very well in the past few games, but AA has two players left, Romo and Lee Evans. And remember TO and Romo both play for Dallas, so if Dallas has a bad game sfrose will most likely pull this game out and upset one of the leaders. WOW, what will happen? Another, “time will tell” game for our league.
Speaking of one of the leaders losing, Nimshi’s Left Paw lost to Isolans by five, so they drop to 3-2 and Isolans improve to 2-3. And it looks like Gramma’s Gorillas will get flatten by the Steelers. Steelers currently hold a 13 point lead and both have one player in tonights game (GG-Lynch & S-Witten). Although anything is possible, but I don’t think Lynch will score 13 points tonight, much less out score Witten by 13. So if this plays out GG will drop to 3-2 and the Steelers will improve to 2-2-1.
Mysti’s Marvel runs all over the Village Eagles, winning by 18 and improves to 4-1 which could land her in first place.
So with all that said I’ll make some predictions.
Here is my projected top two spots following tonight’s game. I project there will be a four way tie for first and a three way tie for second. WOW!
1. Village Idiots 4-1 with 374 points
2. Arnie’s Anchormen 4-1 with 341 points
3. Mysti’s Marvels 4-1 with 315 points
4. RifsterManiacs 4-1 with 275 points
5. Eye’s Exterminators 3-2-1 with 253 points
6. Gramma’s Gorillas 3-2 with 295 points
7. Nimshi’s Left Paul 3-2 with 293 points
