Division banner and play-off bye. Demons were exorcised this week, and the Girls sit atop the rankings for the 4th straight week. Zeus' thunderbolt stays with the PSAS' longest winning streak.Next Week - Necronauts - With Schaub on a bye, will the Girls give the Fitzy a start or go to the wire for temporary talent?
2. El Mundo Pequeno (LW-6) It was a perfect storm for Little World fans this week, a strong showing against the Necronauts and three of the top five teams losing. With Rothlisburger at the helm and a fully loaded bench EMP looks ready to mattress mambo, with or without the league's consent. With a ground-breaking "player rental" agreement raising eyebrows, will the Commish bow to requests for greater transparency?
Next Week - Revenge - Another win and Pequeno could challenge for the lead in the Eleatic, the league's power division (4-0 this week), but they'll be running uphill with two RBs on byes and a high powered Revenge squad with nothing to lose. We'll see Sunday if I'm drinking the Kool Aide, or ahead of the curve.
3. VicksKennel.com - (LW-2) Bad luck for the dogs this week, when Torain came out of the Thanatoid's flex to punch them in the nose. A loss by the Trichs keeps them in the driver's seat in the Ephesian.
Next Week - Skins - With the crew from Hard Knocks on a bye, this should be an interesting week on the wire for Vix. With only one wire move so far and a cool million in the bank, they can certainly take their pick of what's out there...
4. JGPB (LW-3) - The cash poor Pelicans took a surprise wallop from the resurgent Sachs this week and continue in free fall.
Next Week - Ferries - MATCH UP OF THE WEEK - The Pelicans must stop the bleeding here against their division rival. Wins will be at an even greater premium since everybody knows that they can be outbid from here on out.
5. BDTh1nk1ng - (LW-5) - Not much credit due for holding serve against the Skins this week. In reality BDT looked beatable. No doubt their management will be doubling down on titrations during the week to see if they can vulture their way into a lead in the Milesian. Caesar's laurel crown goes to the most lopsided victory.Next Week - Sachs - BDT will need to bring the wood to pick up a fourth straight victory against a resurgent Sachs team.
6. Trichs (LW-4) - The preseason favorites have to be scratching their heads after taking one in the teeth from Phat Girls, a team who's number they've had since the league's inception. Some obvious locker room confusion made headlines as the team went kicker-less in a moment reminiscent of the bad-old-days of robot teams.
Next Week - the Thanatoids - the Deadish Ones are coming off an emotional victory that saw them put up 100 for the first time this season. Under normal circumstances they're not a threat, but with the Trichs reeling they'll need all hands on deck. Another loss and the patients could be running the maniac ward.
7. Ferries (LW-8) - The Ferries broke 100 for the fourth time in six weeks. With their talent finally starting to show itself the Ferries look like a serious threat to break into the league's top half.
Next Week - Pelicans - MATCH UP OF THE WEEK - Ferries go bird hunting this weekend, but just might bring down an endangered species. With Manning, Johnson and Addai on byes they'll need some second tier titrations to pick up a signature win. Don't blink folks, this one is going to be good.
8. Sachs (LW-10) - The Bankerz bit off some Pelican meat this weekend and didn't stop to chew. Maclin's big day could be a regular thing if Jackson's concussion keeps him out for multiple weeks.
Next Week - BDT - This was a return to form for the Bankers, but which team will show up next week? Another win and the Eleatic could get very crowded indeed.
9. Necronauts (LW-7) The Necronauts were outclassed by EMP this week, but more serious questions remain about their health and depth.
Next Week - No rest for the weary with a match against #1 Girls squad next week.
10
. Thanatoids (LW-11) Who dat talkin' bout beating them Thanatoids? League underachivers this year the 'toids rolled up a surprise victory behind a 22 point performance by Torain. The 'toids broke 100 for the first time, their opponents are averaging 107. The Aegis goes to the best upset. 'toids fan Les Miles called team management to congratulate them saying "I'd rather be lucky than good!"Next Week - Trichs - If Branch's new digs are as comfortable as they looked this week, this might not be the last time the 'toids put up triple digits.
11. Revenge (LW-9) Bad News: The Darksiders pulled a tie (pending league revision, which Revenge has gotten the worse end of already this season) against favorites Ferries, but ties are rare enough that it's basically a loss for both squads. Worse news: They've got the Pequeno next.
Next Week - Pequeno - Will the commish rent players to his current opponents, you think?
12. Skins - (LW-12) - With trade rumors flying will the Skins start picking up cash for next year? Or burn their bank account in an attempt to get back into contention?
Next Week - Vix - Hey, the 'toids did it last week...
