Mr. Fantasy Week 8

By Bob Morton- What's the Point

 

TNT at JAGUARS

These two teams are going into this week riding high, coming off big wins last week. TNT is only one game behind, what many consider the best team in the league TBFC. While the Jaguars are also only one game behind the Dragon Slayers and put up more points then anyone. This game comes down to who is available and this week it will hurt both teams, with Minn., St Louis and Cinn. all on bye's. So I look for a reversal of last week, with a low scoring game and Tony Gonzalez and Lamar Smith making the difference. TNT takes all the gas out of the Jaguars and leaves them stalling which gives TNT a chance to catch-up to TBFC in the standings.

MIGHTY CAESARS at SEROLINA PILCHARDS

Maybe we should call coach Weber's team The Mighty Serolina. (Commish Note- I had to go online to find out "what the hell a serolina is?". Turns out it’s some kinda sea organism that resembles a trilobite- which is a cool looking ages old sea creature. Believe it or not, my daughter got a kit to grow trilobites a few years ago and we did grow them. Anyway, here is a link to a page about the "serolina" if you are interested- http://www.museum.vic.gov.au/crust/mov1652t.html ) Every year he make more moves for no reason and manages to come up with a worse team than when he started. That being said, the Mighty Caesars have one of the better teams in the league. If they could figure out the right players to play each week, they would be in first place. Well who's gonna win this week among our two brightest coaches? I have to go with the Caesars. Even though the Mighty Serolina is strong at RB, the Caesars can put a lot of points on the board and look for Phil QB to have a big day against Arizona. The Mighty Caesars keep their name and beat up on the once mighty pilchards.

SANDBAGGERS at C&D TD MAKERS

I'm not going to call you the Scumbaggers like our Commish, but I will say I almost whipped your butt last week with half a team. So I'll let you name yourself. It's going to be tough for C&D to win this week with their big time player sitting it out. They have to look for a Big game from the Jests QB and Rod Smith to pull off this upset. Scumbaggers (sorry) Sandbaggers are much stronger at QB and with Hearse showing his old form they should be able to put C&D away.

TBFC at SHOW ME THE MONEY

I thought this was a forfeit game. I heard Coach Smith had quit, but through further research I found that not to be true. This will be a tough game for Show Me, with St Louis QB on a bye and Dunn back, which means less carries for Alstott and unless Show Me somehow steals this game, I see no money this week for Coach Goydish. On the other hand KFC has everybody in the line up for the first time and he sitting there licking his chops. It’s KFC Big. Free chicken for everyone.

DRAGON SLAYERS at WHAT’S THE POINT

Point has had a tough year just trying to put enough players on the field. When the stupid trade they made turned out to be not so bad, they rattled off two straight wins. In fact, I'm waiting on approval from the Commish on a Kevan Barlow for Edgerrin James trade. (Errr- James is mine! Tell you what- maybe throw in Kordell and I’ll consider it! J ). I'll let you know. The Slayers can be upset this week. They have had great success through GB QB and Curtis Martin. You stop them - you stop the Dragon Slayers. Point should have everyone back this week. Their main scoring comes from TB and they go against GB this week so I look for a wide-open game. Upset Special- Point over Slayers.

UNDERTAKERS at SUICIDE KINGS

I just realized how bad the Lawrence Taylor Division is, with the Undertakers in first place. This is a toss up. The Suicide Kings have outscored the Undertakers, mainly due to their Indy QB. However the Undertakers have a choice between two strong QB'S, plus Stephen Davis. In the end, the Undertakers will have the task of burying all those Suicidal Kings.
