| Baltimore Tools vs. Brock’s Bandits The Bandits have been getting a lot of play in the media lately, specifically because of their two game slide. In week 1 – 6, the Bandits averaged 118 points per game, and just 64 in the past two. So where have all the flowers gone? Well with Holt injured, he doesn’t appear to have any WR help, and Alexander was stopped and then took a week off. So what does this week mean to him? Well, it looks like another loss to me… PICK: TOOLS Born to Run My Mouth vs. Five Second Stare Five looks to keep the see-saw in his favor this weekend, hoping for another big performance by Tomlinson (vs. the Jets) and Galloway/Johnson. Oh, but Johnson is on a bye. Hmmm… Born looks to follow up an ugly win with a pretty one, but will need serious help from Manning (vs. Washington) and the Taylor/Williams combo. Missing the “two“ of the one-two punch, I’m giving the edge to Born PICK: MOUTH STAYS OPEN Married With Ravens vs. Nose Nose sits pretty at 5-3, but Lukin ALWAYS finds ways to make a late season run to the playoffs. Jackson takes the week off for Nose, while McGahee takes the week off for Married. Best replacement – Willie Parker for Married (sorry, but Ricky does nothing for me). Married still might struggle without former star Culpepper, but the newly acquired Crumpler is a much needed improvement at TE. Nose bleeds in this one without Jackson. PICK: MARRIED PUNCHES NOSE Blade Brown vs. Brick Walls & Trees Walls loses one, while Blade wins for a second time. While Brown’s TO may be out, he’s still got Dillon in full strength back (although facing Indy), and Ronnie Brown looking good. Brick’s Bulger is out again (on a bye this week), Lamont may struggle against KC, and Westbrook will be stopped Sunday night against Washington. This could be a second loss for Brick. PICK: BROWN COLORS WALLS New Jersey Jacobins vs. Colt .45s It really doesn’t matter what I say here: Gregg is getting married, and you never go against a man on his wedding day (or the day after). So blah blah blah, yakkity shmackity – fine! A quick story: Jack was living in Arizona during a heat wave when the following took place. "It's just too hot to wear clothes today," complained Jack as he stepped out of the shower. "Honey, what do you think the neighbors would think if I mowed the lawn like this?"…….. "Probably that I married you for your money." Zing! PICK: COLTS GET MARRIED – A WIN ALL WEEKEND propaganda vs. Shermtanks After week one, it looked like this was going to be a battle for the Toilet Bowl award. Seven weeks later, it still does. While propaganda has two more wins than the Tanks, he still has yet to show any dominance in a game, and has yet to show that he can put up the big numbers when necessary. Sherman sits on the rock bottom of this league with a paltry 1-7 record (5 more losses and he ties the record). This is going to be a depressing game to watch, but yes, I am going against myself and pick the Tanks for only the second time this season. You let me down two weeks ago – don’t let it happen again! PICK: TANKS ROLL OVER RUSSIA Duckville Quackers vs. Nomads in the Deep Duck’s first real test since bringing McNabb on board. The former SU star could suffer this week, as his is a little banged up and he is facing a tough Washington secondary – possibly without TO. Harrison returns to the team after his bye, and new addition Fitzgerald should bring some extra help at WR. Nomads, meanwhile, is coming off his third 125+ pointgame in a row, and welcomes Hasselbeck and Dunn back into the lineup (although Dunn is not currently scheduled to play). As long as Steve Smith (average of 22 points per game) is healthy, Nomads will always get my vote PICK: MMM… DUCK FOR DINNER |
