Week 8, 2016

Beas (5-2) Vs Cow (4-3) ***Old Time Rivalry***
Power Ranking 9th Vs 7th

Beas leads the series 13-9-1, but they are tied 3-3 since 2010.  After beginning the season 5-0, scoring 100+ in all five, Beas has laid back to back 70s for losses and Vince Lombardi's voice is echoing in Beas' head, "What the hell is going on out there!?".  Coincidentally, Cow began the season 4-1, scoring 100+ in all five and over the last two weeks has scored in the 80s for losses.  So, two teams who started strong and have struggled lately.  One of them will right the ship, at least for this week, with a win.

Cow favored +5, even with an empty RB position.

Rick (5-2) Vs Adrian (4-3)
Power Ranking 13th Vs 15th

1st Match-up.  Crazy the difference between these two team's Power Rankings and their actual records.  Record is what matters though and that's all they care about.

If Rick fills his empty roster spot he should be favored by about +2

John (5-2) Vs Chip (2-5)***Tsunami Alert***
Power Ranking 1st Vs 12th

1st Match-up.  Both teams are rolling, just different directions.  John has won 3 in a row and scored 100+ for the last 5 weeks.  Chip has lost the last 3 and no 100+ games for almost a month.

John favored +15 and could get worse if Lamar Miller doesn't play.


Dustin (6-1) Vs Papa (3-4) ***Game of the Week***
Power Ranking 4th Vs 3rd

Dustin leads the series 5-0.  Nothing like being 3-4, needing a win, and facing a team that's 6-1, #4 ranked in Power Rankings, and a team you've lost 5 straight and never beat.  Good luck Thomas

Dustin favored +5

Alex (1-6) Vs Pitch (3-4)
Power Ranking 16th Vs 8th

1st Match-up.  Pitch had a down week last week.  He's actually had a couple of down weeks this year. The other weeks have been pretty good.  We'll see if last week was a anomaly or not.  Alex's season is what it is.  I hope he continues to struggle through and see who he can knock off. Pitch might be his first.

Alex favored +10

LaRon (4-3) Vs Matt (3-4)***Another Game of the Week***
Power Ranking 2nd Vs 10th

To no one's surprise this series is 6-2... In Matt's favor. Shocked you didn't I?  Matt leads 6-2, at one point winning 6 straight.  Matt has had, if we are being honest, two easy wins the last two weeks.  They still count, but one should be concerned.  They do put him back into play.  LaRon's last couple of weeks have been average to below average in scoring and his 1-2 record during shows that.  Big game for both.

LaRon favored +10

Chad (0-7) Vs Jimmy (5-2)
Power Ranking 14th Vs 6th

Jimmy leads the series 10-6 and 6-2 since 2010.  Chad's 0-7, looking to play spoiler and whoever his first victim is he'll talk shit to... I'm serious.  Jimmy is on a 3 game winning streak and has his 2nd 5-2 start to a season in a row.

Jimmy favored +10

AD (3-4) Vs Ryan (3-4, 2-0)***One to Watch***
Power Ranking 5th Vs 11th

1st Match-up.  I'm 3-1 in games that are not me being someone's whipping post, 0-3 in games that I am.  Ryan's team has won 3 straight, 2-0 with Ryan at the helm.  He faced Beas & Pitch, who were both, at the time, ranked in the top 5 of the Power Rankings. Both scored in the 70's against him.  Wins, nonetheless.  3-5 may be the death-nail for either team while 4-4 puts them back in play.

Ryan favored +14
