FROST FURRIOUS FLURRIES

(3-5, 1-4 Div)

129

113.58

 TEMP'S
TEXAS BOY'S

(3-5, 2-3 Div)

142

216.48

Game Notes

Temp beat the Furrious Flurries in week one and is 10-4 in regular season matchups.

As expected the Temp's Texas Boy's easily beat the Frost Furrious Flurries and remain in a three way tie for third place in the Vintage Global. The Boy's were led by three players over 20, one over 45, one over 35, and a defensive player with 19. The loss places the Flurries in last place in the division and a must win out scenerio for hopes of a playoff birth. The Frost team could make the playoffs via the blackjack rule even if they don't win another game, but that is unlikely due to their current points fielded ranking in the division.

PREDICTION:   142-129

 Pardue
Bruisermakers

(8-0, 5-0 Div)

164

111.56

Game Notes

Pardue had a lifetime 12-3 record versus coach Rhodes including a win in week one this season.

The Rhodes Runners remained alive for a playoff spot with an upset win over the previously undefeated Pardue Bruisermakers. Rhodes' likely must win out to get in the playoffs, due to their low points fielded, a blackjack is improbable. The Bruisermakers have already qualified for the playoffs and this game was meaningless to them.

PREDICTION: 164-124

 PERDEW
PULVERIZERS

(4-4, 3-2 Div)

156

136.86

Game Notes

The Igama Sweaty Palms continued to impress after a terrible start to the season and look like a championship caliber team as the season reaches it's end. The Sweaty Palms wontheir second straight and scored in excess of 165 for the third straight week. The Palms only chance at a playoff birth is a win out situation due to the teams low points fielded placement. The Perdew Pulverizers have fallen for a third straight week and enter week nine in near panic mode. At 4-5 the team surely would like to get three more wins and gurantee a playoff spot.

PREDICTION:  172-156

 ZIMA
RUSKIES

(3-5, 2-3 Div)

154

164.6

Game Notes

D Crownholder have been abused in regular season play against Jesse Zima coached teams (3-8). The Crownholder won in week one this season. Another great contest between the Crownholder and Ruskies ended pretty much as predicted. The Zima Ruskies solidified their hold on the final Global playoff spot with the 164 points. It is all highly likely this division will have at least one blackjack playoff team and maybe two, Zima is all but assured to be one of them at this point. The Crownholder need only one more win to gurantee a spot in the playoffs, a spot they would have to give away to not be awarded it. . PREDICTION:  154-137

130.98

 VIALL
VIGILANTE

(3-5, 2-3 Div)

186

164.66

Game Notes

Viall beat Whitmore in week one 220-141, Whitmore leads the all-time head to head matchups  5-3. Viall Vigilante won their second straight and are all but guranteed a playoff spot with a division leading 1500 points fielded. The only way this team doesn't qualify for the playoffs is if the division has four teams above .500 and he is not one of them. The Workhorse dropped to 3-6 with a third straight setback and must consider every week a must "A" game performance for any chance of making the playoffs. At this point, wins are not as important as points fielded for the Workhorse.. PREDICTION:  186-143

TEXAN
BRUISERS

(5-3, 4-1 Div)

138

126.78

Game Notes

Texan Bruisers won when these teams played in week one, Fields is 2-5 in regular season games against coach Templin. The Texan Bruisers are who we thought they were, a lucky team that has no businees having a winning record much less being in first place in the Appalachian. With a 126 point outburst the Bruisers take over sole possession of the Appalachian despite the fact they are 19th in the league in points fielded. The Fanatix failed to impress for the third straight week and have a lot of issues to resolve as the season nears its end.. PREDICTION:  142-138

Game Notes

Only meeting was in week one this season, Crush won 203-112. The Crush took over third place in Orion division and added to their points total to place them in what appears a solid position for the playoff qualifer. The Texas Stars are in last place in the division but still have hopes of a playoff birth via the blackjack rule. PREDICTION: 143-141

Game Notes

Only meeting was in week one, 167-103 win by McKevitt. McKevitt broke a five game losing streak and currently holds the final playoff spot in the Helix. The Daisy's loss puts them in a must win situation for all remaining games. PREDICTION:  132-131

BUNCH

(7-1, 4-1 Div)

174

151.58

Game Notes

Week one of 2012 was only previous meeting between these teams, Bunch won 202-163.

The Brady Bunch continued to play outstanding fantasy football with another 150 plus week. The bad news for the Bunch was the Standout Coalition exceeded their weekly average of 175 by 30 points. The other bad news for the Bunch is that the Coalition averages 175 points a week compared to their 158, a difference that was displayed in this contest. The Coalition now hold sole possession on first place in the Orion, both teams have clinched a playoff spot.

(3-5, 3-2 Div)

145

141.74

Game Notes

168-166 in week one victory for Klimko was the only meeting in history between these teams.

Money Team won their fourth in a row and fifth of  six to move into second place in the division. A total collasp would be required for this team to not make the playoffs. On the other hand, a total miracle would not be required for the Klimko K's to make the playoffs either. At 3-6 most would consider this team as a Gunner Cup seed, however a close look at the division reveals the K's are right in the middle of a playoff spost as the blackjack rule looms immanent. Points fielded shaoulb be of the utmost concern to the K's from this point on as wins are of little importance.

(5-3, 4-1 Div)

136

107.44

Game Notes

Brownskins has won the only meeting between these teams in history, week one this season 192-155.

The Miami Brownskins didn't bring their best effort but were able to defeat the pathetic Fighting Pollacks and lock up a playoff spot in the Helix. The Pollacks scored only 107 in a game they had looked forward to for several weeks. The loss didn't hurt the Pollacks but the low 107 point total may turn out to be a serious setback if teams are playoff qualified based on the blackjack rule..

VIRGINIA VENOM

(3-5, 2-3 Div)

165

111.2

Game Notes

In the only previous meeting between these teams, Kav beat the Venom in week one this season 195-118.

Good Karma has returned to the Kavanators with the teams third straight week of 140 plus and two wins in a row! Bad news is Brady Bunch is up in week nine and the Nators all but need to win out to make the playoffs. The Venom lost for the fifth straight week but somehow still hold solid possession of a playoff spot in the Orion. Fourth in the division in points fielded is a good thing that the team must continue to add to each week from here on out.

PREDICTION:  165-143
