NFL-FFA Week 10 Report

By Colin Thompson

Louisiana Lightning vs. Roosters

Roosters got a critical victory last Sunday defeating Louisiana Lightning 63-44 and moving to 6-4. They were boosted greatly by some late fireworks from receivers Mike Wallace and Mike Thomas who both caught late touchdowns and finished with 16 and 10 points respectively. For Louisiana Lightning they got some nice production from Brandon Lloyd (15 points) but they needed bigger performances from their key players. Tight end Jacob Tamme and RB Adrian Peterson only had 3 points combined which won’t get it done any week. Both teams now sit at 6-4 as they push towards the playoffs.

Outlaws vs. Augusta Gnats

The Outlaws were not able to amount much of anything against the Augusta Gnats losing 56-21. Nobody reached double figures for the Outlaws and only 2 players got more than 2 points. Meanwhile the Augusta Gnats had two huge games from QB Tom Brady and kicker Adam Vinatieri who combined for 31 points alone, which would have been enough to beat the Outlaws on their own. The Outlaws dropped to a disappointing 3-7 while the Augusta Gnats improved to 5-5.

Chrisnics vs. Lancaster Bombers

In an extremely tight contest the Lancaster Bombers knocked off Chrisnics 40-38 handing Chrisnics their 9^th loss of the season. The Bombers improved to 6-4 and David Akers and Andre Johnson were the reasons why netting 23 points between them. Sitting Ricky Williams for Jason Snelling was an excellent call as it got them an extra 5 points which was just enough to win. Chrisnics must be disappointed in Randy Moss who had yet another terrible week. His 0 points just won’t cut it for a star of his caliber.

Stingrays vs. Nevada Roadrunners

Thank god for Michael Vick as his 30 points vaulted Nevada Roadrunners past the Stingrays on Monday night. Prior to that explosion Stingrays held a 56-43 lead and stood a chance of moving to 6-4 but unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be as they fall to 5-5, 1 game back of the division lead. You couldn’t ask for more from star receiver Roddy White who amassed 16 points but more support was needed if they were going to come out on top in this one.

Red Menace vs. Ragdolls

An extremely low scoring affair took place between Red Menace and Ragdolls that saw Red Menace come away with the slim victory 23-22. With the win Red Menace moves to 7-3 atop their division and Ragdolls moves back to pack at 5-5. No player on either side was able to reach double digits in points but Chris Johnson and DeSean Jackson getting to 9 each was enough for Red Menace to squeak away with this one. They probably should not bench Calvin Johnson though whose 10 points certainly would have helped. In a tough call Ragdolls benched Fred Jackson who came back to haunt his team scoring 16 points which was more than both Arian Foster and LeSean McCoy combined.

Boston Blazers vs. Road Dogs

Another 1 point game was played here that saw Boston Blazers come out on top 33-32 despite benching Jon Kitna for Carson Palmer. Road Dogs missed out on 8 crucial points at the kicker position as Josh Brown was left on the bench. It was a costly loss for the Road Dogs as they fell to 3-7 and seriously hurt their chances of winning the league. Boston Blazers moved to 6-4 and look to make a strong push heading into the playoffs.

Waveriders vs. Brooklyn Comets

Waveriders put forth a terrible effort this week only scoring 11 points and leaving 31 points on the bench. Playing Steve Johnson and Johnny Knox weren’t bad calls and it was more so a run of bad luck as Chad Ochocinco and Kevin Walter outscored them both. The Brooklyn Comets cruised to the win comfortably here as they scored 47 points. Big days from Mark Sanchez and Maurice Jones-Drew was more than enough to get their 5^th win of the season and 2^nd in a row. Waveriders still sits at 6-4 and is going to be a major player down the stretch run for the playoffs.

Commissioneer Sports 2010-2011 - Week 10

As Good As In

In the NFC division, Bfana Bfana Gold Rush and Austin 3:16 stand at 6-3-1. With 2.5 game lead on the next closest team within the division, these two teams look like they are on their way to the fantasy playoffs. In the AFC, San Diego Redeption stands at 6-4, but is battling it out with two teams standing at 5-5. This race is shaping up to be an interesting one.

On The Bubble

Much of this league is close going into week 11, as the biggest league within the division stands at a small 2.5 games. Both Jamarcus Russel Effort, and Temecula And The Calimen stand at 5-5, only 1 game out of first place. In the NFC, Pride Rock Baby Simbas is riding a rough 3 game loosing streak, and currently stand at 4-6. Baby Simbas looks to turn it around heading into the final few weeks of the season.

Fantasy Football 2011

Shawn Bennet has had a rough season currently with a 3-7 record. Also out of the running, is Wonka Factory Snozzberries, who sit in the last place spot in the AFC at 4-6. These teams should use their extra time, to create some upsets but better yet, look forward to fantasy draft 2011, they could use the extra prep time.

Key Matchups

Pride Rock Baby Simbas (4-6) vs San Diego Redeption (6-4)

This game is shaping up to be a big one for both teams, as both owners need a win to help their playoff push. Things are not looking to good for Simbas, as Williams, Grant, Britt, Clark, and Finley are all out this upcoming week. Redeption’s chances are looking a lot better, as the teams wide receivers, running backs, and defensive players all have very strong matchups for week 11.

Austin 3:16 (6-3-1) vs Jamarcus Russells Effort (5-5)

This playoff-like matchup has major implications going forward and is shaping up to be an exciting game. Jamarcus Russells Effort hopes for strong running back play from Peyton Hillis, and Chris Johnson will carry him through in this matchup. Austin 3:16 looks for his star-studded defense as well as Reggie Wayne, DeSean Jackson and Adrian Peterson to carry him in this one. Good luck to both teams

KFL - Week #10

As Good As In

With an unbelievable start to the season, NE Deepthreat currently stands at 9-1 and is looking toward the first seed in the fantasy playoffs. Also with a hot start is Team 3^rd and Goal, who is 7-3, sitting behind NE Deepthreat in Division 2.

On The Bubble

Eight teams in the league currently stand between 4-6 and 6-4, creating an exciting playoff scenario for the rest of the season. Currently at 6-4 and sitting atop division 1 is Dynasty 3D. Dynasty 3D is fighting Bruise Brothers- Dalley, and Bear Bullies, who both stand at 5-5, for the top spot in Division 1. Division 2 is shaping up to be a thrilling race, as only a one and a half game lead separates the first and last place teams. At the top of the division is SF Hall OF Justice, standing at 5-4-1. Dan Stooka and Team Merrill are close behind standing at 5-5, and landing behind those teams is Vermont Stranglers, currently at 4-6.

Fantasy Football 2011

At 1-9, Deerfield Dragons has zero chance of making the playoffs. Also in the same situation is Belford Ballhandlers, currently at 2-8.  Hopefully these two teams take advantage of their extra time, and start planning out next years draft… They can use the preparation.

Key Matchups

SF Hall of Justice (5-4-1) vs Das Stooka (5-5)

Das Sooka looks for Michael Vick to continue his MVP –like form this week, as a win would propel him into first place in Division 2. For Hall of Justice, Phillip Rivers must continue his hot season, to keep this fantasy team in this matchup. Das Sooka looks to have the advantage in this one however, as Steven Jackson has a favorable matchup, while Brandon Lloyd will compete in the shoot out against San Diego this week.

Vermont Stranglers (4-6) vs Term Merrill (5-5)

Yet another huge matchup out of Division 2 could shape up the playoff race even further. Team Merrill seems to be forfeiting this game however (or at least it seems so), starting Mike Goodson at RB this week. Vermont Stranglers is going to be riding the backs of Ray Rice and Matt Cassel who both have great matchups in this decisive week 11.

Big House

With just three games left in the regular season, it's a regular cluster-muck atop the standings in the Big House League. Lights Out sits at 7-3 with a one game lead in the standings. They're followed by four teams at 6-4, one team at 5-5, and two teams at 4-6. Basically, eight of the ten teams are within three games of each other with three weeks left. Should be an exciting finish. Let's take a look at the Week 11 matchups and give out some predictions:

Ron Mexico's Pit Bulls (6-4) vs. PainCurve (6-4)

A pair of 6-4 teams with championship aspirations, RMPB and PainCurve should provide plenty of fireworkds this week. Led by high-scorers Mike Vick and Maurice Jones-Drew, PainCurve has to hope Cedric Benson and Anquan Blodin can pick up the slack. Other than Frank Gore, RMPB doesn't have a standout stud, but their roster is very balanced, with few holes to speak of.

Winner: Ron Mexico

Paydirt (3-7) vs. Lights Out (7-3)

The league's best team takes on the league's worst team in the least impactful game of Week 11. Paydirt is far from incapable of shocking the Big House, as the Peyton Manning/Reggie Wayne combo should be back to its usual self, and LaDainian Tomlinson has a great matchup against Houston. It'll be tough to outpoint Roddy White, Chris Johnson, Calvin Johnson and the rest of Lights Out, but not impossible.

Winner: Paydirt

Ben Riback  (6-4) vs. Boom Goes the Dynamite (3-7)

Dynamite has struggled all year long, as their 3-7 record indicates, but the horses are still there to put up monster point totals. Drew Brees and Peyton Hillis both face tasty matchups, as do Braylon Edwards and Vernon Davis. For Riback, they've relied heavily on Aaron Rodgers and the receivers (Andre Johnson, Brandon Lloyd and Percy Harvin), but it'll be the RBs (Rashard Mendenhall and Fred Jackson) who need to step up to hold off Dynamite.

Winner: Dynamite

THE SHOCKER (6-4) vs. Buttercup (4-6)

In a game of utmost importance, THE SHOCKER got 12 points from Bears on Thursday night, but only four from Brandon Marshall, giving them a 16-point advantage heading into Sunday. Foster, Peterson and Fitzgerald should post their usual outstanding efforts, but Matt Schaub will have to overcome lots of adversity to put up useable stats. Buttercup needs Tom Brady and Jamaal Charles to have monster games to stay in contention, and both look poised to do so.

Winner: Buttercup

3YKffl

With many owners in standard leagues in panic mode as the end of the regular season rapidly approaches, members of the 3 Year Keeper League still have seven weeks to make up ground. If the season were to end today, Howitch and Steele would own the top two spots in the playoffs, with Chaiken and Fienberg rounding out the field. Meyers and Goldstone are both hanging around a few games back, and while Berman and Freedman bring up the rear, they've yet to be mathematically eliminated.

Week 11 Predictions:

Fienberg (6-4) vs. Berman (3-7)

Berman desperately needs a victory to stay in contention for the playoffs, while Fienberg is looking to overtake Horwitch and Chaiken for the top spot in the NFC. Despite the disparity in records, Berman actually has a great shot to pull the upset. Jamaal Charles and Ray Rice have excellent matchups, and Josh Freeman should be able to post decent numbers against San Fran. Fienberg, on the other hand, is re-inserting Reggie Bush, and his top wideout, Andre Johnson, draws a very unfavorable matchup with Darrelle Revis.

Winner: Berman

Freedman (2-8) vs. Steele (7-3)

The best meets the worst in this Week 11 tilt. Freedman can't afford anymore losses, which means they'll have to put up a monster week to keep pace with Steele's studs. Unfortunately, that may not be possible with Darren McFadden drawing Pittsburgh, and Kyle Orton facing San Diego's tough pass defense.

Winner: Steele

Meyers (5-5) vs. Horwitch (6-4)

Meyers is only one game behind Horwitch for the final playoff spot, and they got a nice head start when the Bears D/ST put up 10 points on Thursday night. If the Vikings/Packers matchup produces big totals on the ground -- Meyers has both Adrian Peterson and Brandon Jackson -- they may be able to keep pace with the Michael Vick/Chris Johnson/Peyton Hillis juggernaut that Horwitch sports. Maybe.

Winner: Horwitch

Chaiken (6-4) vs. Goldstone (6-4)

Chaiken has a precarious hold on a playoff spot, while Goldstone is hanging around the fringe, ready to either become a contender, or an also-ran. Maurice Jones-Drew seems to have gotten his Mojo back, and Randy Moss is due for a breakout, both good signs for Goldstone. Chaiken needs Peyton Manning to return to form and for Dwayne Bowe and Mike "Hawk" Williams need to repeat their Week 10 performances.

Winner: Goldstone

NJ Hollywood Week 10 Report

By Colin Thompson

Baba Booey vs. The Situation

Who would have thought that having Tom Brady and his 35 points on your team would still not be enough to win last week? Well that was the case for The Situation as they lost 88-73 to Baba Booey which evened their records at 6-4. The Situation still sits atop the Black division and is very close to clinching a playoff birth. Baba Booey’s win moved them into a tie for second spot in the Red Division with Shoelace. The reason for their success last week was consistent play across the board from their team. Matt Schaub put forth one of his best efforts of the season scoring 23 points and Frank Gore continued to run wild as he amassed 20 points. Calvin “Megatron” Johnson was also on fire scoring 18 points which was more than all of The Situations receivers combined.

The Mudmonkies vs. The Beerlympians

After starting out 8-0 The Mudmonkies has now dropped 2 straight including a humbling 122-82 beatdown at the hands of The Beerlympians. Michael Vick’s jaw dropping performance (53 points) on Monday night powered them to the win even though they left Dwayne Bowe’s 30 points on the bench. For the Mudmonkies they got some nice production from Knowshon Moreno and Shaun Hill who had 21 and 16 points respectively but Cedric Benson continues to disappoint as he only scored 2. The Mudmonkies will still make the playoffs but they will want to turn it around and fast so that they don’t limp into the postseason. Meanwhile the Beerlympians have won 2 straight and are making a hard charge for the playoffs.

The Usual Suspects vs. 7.0

In a high scoring affair 7.0 defeated The Usual Suspects 105-89. It was the Jackson trio that enabled them to come away with the victory. Fred, Steven and DeSean scored 26, 20 and 15 points respectively which was more than enough to put away The Usual Suspects. Despite getting 31 points from Kyle Orton, The Usual Suspects were let down by poor play at the receiver position. Randy Moss and Reggie Wayne only combined for 5 points which just wasn’t going to cut it. 7.0 improved to 6-4, tied atop the Black Division and the Usual Suspects fell to 5-5 and will be in desperate need of a win in week 11.

Roger vs. Big City Boozers

Roger put forth a lackluster effort in their loss to Big City Boozers. Still leaving Dallas Clark in the starting lineup while he is out for the year with an injury doesn’t reflect too well on their team. 4 players were left on the bench who scored in double figures; it was an all around ugly outing. Big City Boozers didn’t need much help though as they had a spectacular week. Great call benching the anemic Brett Favre for Mark Sanchez and having two of the hottest receivers in the league in Mike Wallace and Brandon Lloyd certainly doesn’t hurt.

Albert is my Homeboy vs. Blade Runners

 In a battle of two teams fighting for their playoff lives, Albert is my Homeboy defeated Blade Runners 95-80 to improve to 4-6 and keep their slim playoff hopes alive. The big difference in this one was Blade Runners deciding to sit Ben Roethlisberger who had 30 points in favor of Peyton Manning who only had 7. You can’t really blame them for that call but it’s unfortunate that they would have won had they done it. For Albert is my Homeboy, they got huge performances from David Garrard and Andre Johnson who had 26 and 20 points respectively.

Shoelace vs. Captain No Nads

In the highest scoring game of the week Captain No Nads defeated Shoelace 120-94. Everything was going right for Captain No Nads as they had big performances at each position. QB Matt Ryan finished with 27 points, RB Maurice Jones-Drew had 24 and WR Roddy White had 27. When you get performances like that it’s hard not to lose. They will need to rattle off a few more wins like that one in order to get back into the playoff race. Shoelace had the chance to move to 7-3 with a win and pretty much secure a playoff spot but just could not get it done. Their team performed admirably with 23 points from Eli Manning and 17 from Chris Johnson but it wasn’t meant to be. They fell to 6-4 but are still in good shape to make the playoffs.

 Killer B’s

When you’re 9-1 and on an eight-game winning streak, it’s pretty safe to say that you’ll make the playoffs. Killer B’s has hardly any holes in his starting lineup, and while his bench isn’t too impressive, he definitely has the ability to go deep in the playoffs baring a significant injury to one of his best players in Roddy White and Kyle Orton.

Devlin Magregor

Adrian Peterson, Peyton Hillis and LaGarrette Blount are three of the best running backs in fantasy football, so to have all three of them playing on his team right now must be a dream come true for Devlin Magregor. While his WR situation isn’t near as good with Malcom Floyd and Mario Manningham as his current starters, the rest of his team certainly has the capability to pick up the slack. At 7-3, he should easily cruise into the playoffs. By then, he’ll hopefully have Percy Harvin and Hines Ward healthy and ready to complete the rest of his lineup.

In the Hunt

More Cowbell

Even though More Cowbell only has an average record at 5-4, don’t let that fool you. He has the makings of an elite team on his hands. With Ben Roethlisberger at quarterback, Steven Jackson and LeSean McCoy at running back and DeSean Jackson and Mike Wallace, More Cowbell team has serious firepower at almost every position. While he has had some tough losses this season, his team is built for the long haul and should be able to get into the playoffs. From there, he might have a team that could beat anyone in any given week.

Pigskin Fetish

Pigskin Fetish may be the victim of some bad breaks with a 4-6 record, because his team certainly has the abilities of improving upon that record. Players like Aaron Rodgers, Ahmad Bradshaw, Calvin Johnson and Reggie Wayne are some the elite fantasy players this season, so Pigskin Fetish’s record really has a chance to turn around this season if each player continues their recent production. He’ll just need some better luck than he’s had recently.

On Life Support

Team EMAC

At this point in the season, Drew Brees might be EMAC’s only consistent player. That makes for one frustrating team, as he just can’t count on Jahvid Best, Santana Moss or Mike Sims-Walker to produce anymore. EMAC does have a 4-6 record, but there really doesn’t appear to be any light at the end of the tunnel with his season. He’ll need to swing a trade with someone if he wants to salvage it.

Total Mayhem Week#10

by Andrew Mishler

Locks
With three teams tied for first place at 7-3 and three more teams behind them at 6-4, it’s tough to say that anybody is a lock for the playoffs in Total Mayhem. But going into week 11 of the 2010 season, a few teams stand out above the rest. Notorious Ego, led by Hakeem Nicks and Adrian Peterson, is on three-game winning streak right now and has no signs of stopping anytime soon. Balls Deep, owner of a two-game winning streak at 6-4, also has the makings of a solid playoff team. He has Aaron Rodgers and two of the best fantasy running backs in the league in Arian Foster and Ahmad Bradshaw, which combined can be a powerful threesome.
In the hunt
You wouldn’t usually think of a 4-6 team as a legitamite playoff contender, but Team WTF!!! Breaks that mold. He’s hot right now with a two-game winning streak and a few stud players in Brandon Lloyd and Darren McFadden. McFadden in particular has only recently added an extra element to Team WTF!!!, so it’s safe to say that his winning streak will continue as long as McFadden’s recent games don’t prove to be a fluke.
On Life Support
At 1-9, Skins Domination should start preparing for the 2011 fantasy season. Brett Favre, Ronnie Brown and Nate Washington are just not going to get it done as starting players, and Skins Domination has learned that the hard way. Go Blue! might as well follow suite, as Philip Rivers won’t be able to save his 4-6 season when there are players like Braylon Edwards, Ricky Williams and Knowshon Moreno surrounding him. If Go Blue! wants to get back into the playoff race, he should consider trading his backup quarterback, Matt Ryan, to a QB starved team.

Ezy’s League Week 10 Report

By Colin Thompson

Kotlarz vs. Grossy and PC
In a key matchup with playoff implications written all over it, Grossy and PC defeated Kotlarz 47-28. The loss dealt a huge blow to Kotlarz’s playoff dreams as they fell to 4-6 and sit second last in the league. They will regret the decision to bench the Bronco’s QB and their 28 points along with Peyton Hillis who has been tearing it up as of late. You can call that bad luck on the Hillis call however as Adrian Peterson and Arian Foster are still great backs but they need more for AP if they hope to make the playoffs. For Grossy and PC Mike Wallace was the difference in this matchup as his late touchdowns pushed them over the edge and on the verge of the playoffs with a 5-4-1 record.

Ezy vs. Unze and Gally
In the closest contest of the week Unze and Gally edged Ezy by just one point, 44-43. Ezy will regret sitting Jamaal Charles as that would have been enough to push them over in this matchup. Three goose eggs at three different skill positions was really their undoing as you absolutely must get production out of your RBs and WRs to win in this league. Unze and Gally is lucky that DeSean Jackson was able to score on the opening play of the game and rack up 8 points on the night because without them they would have lost. Thanks to this win Unze and Gally moved to 6-4 and currently sits 3rd in the league meanwhile Ezy’s slide continued as they dropped their second straight and are in a log jam at 5-5.

Wolk vs. Troy and Rob
The top two teams met head to head last Sunday and Troy and Rob came away with an impressive beat down of Wolk 73-42. Huge performances from Maurice Jones-Drew and Brandon Lloyd powered them to victory. MJD finished with 15 points and Lloyd had 12, these totals along with only 1 teammate scoring 0 points was vital to Troy and Rob’s win. Wolk on the other hand had 4 players not receive a point and it really hurt them. It’s unfortunate for Wolk that they are dealing with some major injury issues at running back. Joseph Addai and Pierre Thomas are out with injuries and they were forced to start backups Willis McGahee and Javarris James. Chances are though that both of these teams will be around come playoff time and if they meet again with healthy rosters it could be a different story.

Lick My Brown Star vs. Ryan
The most lopsided contest took place between Lick My Brown Star and Ryan and it saw Ryan get blown out 50-16. Ryan’s team was so dismal this week that they didn’t even get any bench points, it was just one of those weeks. You know it’s a good week for you when your quarterback outscores the entire team you’re playing. That was the case for Lick My Brown Star as the Patriots QB recorded 21 points. It’s too bad that this was Lick My Brown Star’s first win of the season and at 1-9 they won’t be in the running to win this league. For Ryan they are in a 4 way tie for 5th at 5-5 and have lost their last 3 games. They will need to turn it around in a hurry if they hope to make any noise in the playoffs.

Burny vs. Jake & Nick
Coming into the week Burny was looking to put some distance between themselves and the rest of the pack and Jake and Nick needed a win to tighten the gap. Going into Monday night Burny had a slight lead but Jake and Nick had the Eagles QB still left to play. 6 total touchdowns later Jake and Nick ended up winning 60-32 in what was a closer matchup then the score indicated. That once in a lifetime performance by their QB was exactly what they needed to get back into the playoff race. Unfortunately for Burny they were not able to use Fred Jackson’s 15 points to their advantage.

Alabama Crab Danglers Week #10

by Jesse Katz

As Good As In

Sitting at the top of the league is Wisco Wormburpers at 8-2. The only team to clinch a playoff spot. With a solid overall team and the most points for in the league, Wisco Wormburpers hopes to continue his success through the playoffs.

On The Bubble

The plaoff race is shaping up to be an exciting one as division 2 is a tight race. Currently sitting at 7-3 is The Chicken Cutlet, who hopes he can stay in first place for the last few weeks of the season. At 6-4 is I Piss Excellence and Double Duece. Both these teams hope to stay in their respective spots and land in the playoffs. At 5-5 is Websters Dicktionary and Lt. Blumpkin. Currently the last two playoff spots these two teams will be fighting the rest of the league for the wildcard seeds.

Fantasy Football 2011

Good luck next year, Nerfherders and 40 Year Old Viking. Although you may have creative team names it hasn’t helped your performance, as your teams are 3-7, and 2-8 sadly. Hopefully these teams can help shape up the playoff picture. Begin preparing for the 2011 draft, you can definitely use the extra time and effort.

Key  Matchups

The Chicken Cutlet (7-3) vs Lt. Blumpkin

These two teams play in vital matchup, which could make an already tight playoff race even tighter. Lt. Blumpkin looks to put down the top dog but will definitely have a challenge, as The Chicken Cutlet has the revived Michael Vick, breakout star Peyton Hillis, and Michael Turner going for his team this week. Blumpkin looks for Frank Gore to carry his team, as Eli Manning, DeSean Jackson, and Randy Moss must also step up in order for the team to get the win.

Websters Dicktionary (5-5) vs Wisco Wormburpers (8-2)

Although Wisco is already in the playoffs, this game is a huge one for both of these teams. Dicktionary looks to create an upset, however, Brandon Marshall’s injury, and mere 4.10 points did not help the cause. Things are looking bright still, as this team has Drew Brees, and a trio of star-studded running backs to carry him to a possible victory this week. Wisco Wormburpers hopes to stay atop the league, as Roddy White, and Adrian Peterson must step it up in order for their teams to get the win.

Schoep’s League: Week #10

By Colin Thompson

Schoep’s League has 3 more weeks left in the regular season and everyone is still alive in the playoff race except for Agustin and The Destroyers who at 1-9 and 2-8 respectively, stand no chance of reaching the postseason. Raider Nation (8-2) and Just Kaeding (7-3) stand at the top of the standings and will definitely be making a run at the league championship. In between those 4 teams there are some excellent races going on.

Call of Booty had a monstrous week last week defeating the first place Raider Nation 193 to 110.78 in a crucial victory that moved them to 6-4. Not surprisingly Michael Vick is on their team and tore it up scoring 53.32 points in the win. Call of Booty has a crucial matchup this week against the 5-5 Jokeland Haters. The Haters went in the other direction last week losing to Virginia Charger Fan 157.64 to 132.58. To make the playoffs in this league you are probably going to have to win 7 games so both of these teams are in desperate need of a win.

The running game of Call of Booty along with Michael Vick seems too strong to not make the playoffs. With Frank Gore, Ahmad Bradshaw and Jamaal Charles running the ball you have to like their chances of winning this week and advancing to the playoffs.

Phil’s p-hoes is in desperate need of a win as they go up against the 6-4 Raider Hater. With Phil’s p-hoes being at 5-5 and coming off a disappointing loss to fellow 5-5 team The Assassins, they must win this week to stay in the hunt. The 102 point loss last week just won’t cut it, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees are going to have to carry this team if they hope to make it. The rest of their lineup is not very strong outside of surprise of the year Terrell Owens, and because of this lack of depth I don’t think they will be around the top 6 come playoff time.

Virginia Charger Fan is another 5-5 team that looks to have an easy road to the playoffs. This week they take on the anemic Agustin team which is almost a free win and then next week they take on the reeling Phil’s p-hoes. 2 more wins and Virginia Charger Fan will assuredly be in. Their team is loaded with talent at each position such as Calvin Johnson, Adrian Peterson and LeSean McCoy. With that talent and easy schedule ahead Virginia Charger Fan looks like a shoe in for the postseason.

MFL - Madison Football League Week #10

by Scott Zlotnick

With only three weeks remaining in the regular season, lets see how the playoff picture looks right now

They’re Getting In

            Right now, three teams are virtually assured a playoff berth and they all happen to be in the same division, the Monona Division.  BJ Bj’s and Essen Haus are tied for the division lead at 8-2, while Blowfish are right on their tail at 7-3.  One of the three teams will take home the division title, while the other two will gain wild card berths.  Right now, I’ll give the edge to BJ BJ’s, due to the fact they have Michael Vick, Roddy White, Andre Johnson, and Brandon Lloyd, who have all had unbelievable years and should continue to get high point values each week.

The Fight for the Final Three Spots

            Realistically, there are four teams fighting for three spots in the playoffs.  Due to Captain Morgan’s point difference, the odds of them making the playoffs is slim.  That leaves the Tomahawks, Sunday is Professional Day, K-Men, and the Molly Maguires fighting for the final three spots.  The first three teams all play in the Mendota Division and are tied in first at 5-5, while the Molly Maguires play in Monona Division.  In my opinion, I believe Sunday is Professional Day has the best chance to win the Mendota division.  With Peyton Manning at QB, Arian Foster in the backfield, And Terrell Owens at WR, it’s an explosive and high scoring offense.  The team on the outside looking in for me is the K-Men.  I feel as though their weak QB play as well as their lack of depth at both WR and RB will prevent them from scoring enough points to reach the playoffs, leaving the Tomahawks and Molly Maguries with the final two wild card births.
