12. Phat Girlz (0-6) (last week 12)
Same old song, the Girlz played well this week, but were damned by a combination of bad luck and carelessness. Three empty IDP spots might have made up the difference against BDT, but so could a Manningham touchdown that got ruled incomplete. Bradshaw's beastly day went wasted, and the lost season continued.
Next Week - vIX - the Girlz season is going to the Dawgz in more ways than one in Week 7. They'll take a shot at a flailing Kennel Klub, but with several tough byes themselves. They'll be hard-pressed to pull off the upset.
11. dETHRONED_kING (1-4-1) - (last week 11)
In the preamble to Tebow's big day, the kING looked like they need Tim more than ever. Moves were made, money was spent, but the result was the same. Only the Royals kicker exited double figures. The kIngs IDP are still elite, and there are the pieces here to win. This was going to be a rough one from the start, and there's still playoff potential here, one win at a time. Clearly the ownership has doubled down, so that's got to give the team some confidence.
Next Week - Ferries - The Reelin' Royals will face the Ferries who picked up their second loss of the season Sunday. There are some hard byes for their opponent and with the Master Circumciser at the helm, there's no telling who'll be approaching the Throne in this one.In the preamble to Tebow's big day, the kING looked like they need Tim more than ever.

10. Cincinnati Dangles (2-4) (last week T. 9) -
The Dangles faced up to a bye week, and put their best team on the field. That was unlikely to beat the Nauts, but there's no reason to shrivel up. McCoy continues to put up great numbers. Matty Ice seems to be chilling out for the stretch run. And WW-pickup James Jones got a piece of the Packers offensive blitzkrieg
Next Week - Raiders - A big in division match-up, the Raiders will be vulnerable with out Brady, but every point will count. Is it time to part ways with Cole, who hasn't played in three weeks and has a bye? A win here keeps the Dangles in the playoff picture.
T. 8 . Trichotillomaniacs (3-3) (last week T. 9) -
The Hair-pullers held off a late run from the Dawgz on Monday night and pulled back to .500. Gore continues to lead the team, and Colston returned in a big way. If he's Brees' favorite wideout going forward, the Trichs could be very dangerous indeed. The Trichs ceiling is not amazingly high, but they've got some consistent pieces. They've only played two in division, so the next two Eleatic match-ups are crucial if they want to stay in play for the division.
Next Week - Pelicans - It's another bye-nightmare for the Trichs as they'll be missing three starters this week. They'll be working overtime to knock off the Eleatic leaders in a big in division game.
T. 8. Vixkennel.com (2-4) (last week T.7 ) -
The Dawgz were improved after their epic fail in week 5. But not enough to put down the Trichs. Ray Rice put up 16, but nobody really stepped up, with the possible exception of IDP Ray Lewis who continues to tackle like a machine. They lost the guessing game between Freeman an the Burger yet again, and it doesn't look any easier the rest of the way. With all the other defenses in the NFC south flailing, is Freeman now an automatic start in division? After winning their first two the Dawgs have dropped four straight, only finding triple digits once in that span.
Next Week - PG - The Kennel Klub gets an easier match-up to get them back on track. They'll have to do it without DJax, perhaps Williams or Lloyd will step up. Or maybe the Klub will drop some change on thew wire. They need a win to stay in the hunt.
T. 6. Tusken Raiders (4-2) (last week T. 7) -Two in a row for the Raiders, who held court over the kIng. Run DMC continues to rule the league, and the Brady-Hernandez connection hooked up for the double titration. The Raiders are a powerful squad (fourth in scoring), and if Chris Johnson ever gets going they'll be straight up elite. How they ride next weeks byes could well determine their season. A nice double titration on Revis' pick 6 gives them the Beast of the Week. The Raiders remaining schedule is tough, they need a show-me win in week 7 to stick in the top half.
Next Week - Dangles - with Brady and Hernandez out the Raiders are not as formidable. They need to buckle down and grind out a win in this Milesian match-up. Hasslebeck should step up and take the helm.
T. 6. Taking Tiger Mountain (4-2) (Last Week 2) -
The Tigers finally boinked, as Breesus threw three picks and the various handcuffs failed to contribute in a losing effort. Colston's return likely makes Meachem and Moore worthless. Still, SJax was a TD away of a good day, and Stevie found the endzone again. Graham continues to be the Tigers most consistent piece, the Tiger's fate week-to-week may hinge on Brees hitting him in the endzone. The superstitious Tiger fanbase needs a win in the worst way, since they tempted the godz by equaling last season's win total so quickly.
-
Next Week - BDT - The Mr. Gatti's bowl figures to be a powerful match-up. The Tigers will have all their pieces together and are no doubt hungry to prove that their early season run was no fluke, after dropping two straight. The Bresus-Jimmy connection will face Indy, and Stevie will hit his bye.
T 3. GrossmanSachs (4-2) (last week T. 5)
The 1% hosed the Ferries back behind the police barrier in Week 6. Vick won the running-QB match-up. And Mendy beasted in a game coming off his injury. Four position players in double digits puts you in position to win games. Chicago's defense annihilated the Vikings. The J-Beast's concussion is worrying, but it comes in front of his bye - that's a bit of luck.
Next Week - Nauts - Another top notch battle as the Bankers square off against another 4-2 squad. The Bankers may be bearish about this one with Vick and Greene on byes. It'll be interesting to see if Cutler draws the start against the Tampa 2.
The Nauts notched their fourth straight victory, ascending to new heights in the Milesian. A ridiculous day for kicker Billy Cundiff helped the Nauts to a big victory, but there was double digit participation all over their roster. The Nauts went for Graham to fill in for Blount, and he paid off against a weak Saints run D. Zeus' thunderbolt, where else would it be than in the AEther? The Nauts have been crushing lately.
3. SF Ferries (4-2) (last week 1) -
The Bankers sunk the Ferries streak in week 6 with Andre Johnson out. Their overall status is looking more and more hobbled as Hillis heads for an MRI. Cam threw three picks and ran in a single score for a pedestrian 14. Maclin continues to get plenty of looks. Could Torrey Smith rise to the fore against the Jags next week?
Next Week - dk - Cam will face off against Tebow in a SEC quarterback PSAS matchup. The Royals are grasping at straws, but if Hillis is undependable, the Ferries are no lock.
T. 1 The Pelican Brief (4-2) (last week T. 3) -
Next Week - Trichs - first place in the Eleatic will be tested with Welker on bye, there's reason to think that the Thrillers are vulnerable here. Surely Witten starts against the hapless Rams, right?
The Heideggerians are a lucky lot, holding onto a victory as PG held players back in protest. Still, a win is a win. Turner and F-Jax both beasted, and Romo & Benson were good enough. Yet again, the QB controversy befuddled the Philosophers and Stafford's 19 stayed on the bench. That might be good enough against the Girlz. But against the other Milesian powerhouses, they'll need increased aerial production.
Next Week - TTM - BDT has a sterling record in past Gattis bowls. However, they'll miss F-Jax and Benson in the ground game. But a big game by Romo-Austin against the hapless Rams could make it all meaningless. Every win counts when you've got that third column filled. If they eek out a win in week 7, then their mojo is playoff ready, tie or no tie.
At this rate half the league will be tied for 1st next week, and the other half tied for 7th. Also, if Tebow puts up 60 does that make dETHRONED #1?
