Week 8 Recap

My predictions are 4 of 6 this week (I almost called the exact score on the Bill/7 game). I may be threatening to get decent with this prediction stuff.

Export Flannel 20 - Mighty Midtowne Mimes 3

Manning and McCoy overcome a huge defensive effort from the Mimes and keeps Flannel competitive in the Right. The Mimes were sunk by a weak offensive effort across the board.

 

Iron City Lagers 31 - N.Y. Hamburglers 18

A great Monday night effort from Derrick Johnson was enough to propel the Lagers to a victory. The Hamburglers looked decent this week, but still seemed doomed to the Toilet Bowl this year. With the win, the Lagers grab a share of the lead in the Left.

 

Fightin' Bitin' Beavers 28 - Capo Di Tutti Capi 12

The Beavers grab the win with yet another player having a big Monday night game, this time coming Eric Weddle. For Capo, Rice looked great, but he got no help from Brees this week. The win moves the Beavers into a share of the lead in the Left, while Capo falls off pace in the Right.

Roger's Ramjets 20 - Murrysville Drow 19

In a way, you can blame a player not even on the Drow’s squad for the loss. Rivers bobbled a hand off and lost the ball on a chip shot field goal for Novak, which would have been enough for the win. The Ramjets do just enough to squeak by with the win and are pacing the field in the Right, while the loss sends Drow to third place in the Left.

Bill's Team 28 - Old No. 7 0

This game was over Sunday and it was all Bill. Old 7 got nothing going offensively; and while Bill’s team wasn’t overly impressive on the O, Newton did enough to seal the deal. The win keeps Bill lurking just on the outside in the Middle, while the Bottle looks like future competition in the Toilet.

Rednecks 9 - Malleus Maleficarum 0

Newcomer Houston posted a big game blanking the Malleus team behind a weak game from Brady. The Rednecks/Malleus rivalry ends up in a split, with each winning their respective home games. The loss tightens up the race for the Middle, but still finds Malleus in the driver’s seat.
