4 weeks to go

Rodgers throws 6 TD passes and gets to go home to
Olivia Munn too...come on man!
Well there is only 4 weeks to go.  2 more non division games and then the final 2 division games.  Time to make that run to the playoffs because we all know, once you get into the playoffs you never know what can happen!

Incredible comeback by Krauts
The Krauts completed an almost impossible comeback over the Dragons winning 39-38.  They were down 38-15 after the Dragons got a monster game from Marshawn "Beast Mode" Lynch who scored 24 points!  Well Sunday night Kraut QB Aaron Rodgers said I will see your 24 and threw for 6 TD passes to bring the Krauts all the way back leading the Dragons by one.  This game wasn't over yet as on Monday Night the Krauts had Maclin and Dragons had Ertz so there was still a chance for Dragons to regain the lead or have the Krauts continue to lead.  As it turns out neither of them scored and the Krauts prevailed 39-38.

Matthews had a break out game this week!
Juggernauts pull off the upset over the Killer Bees
The Juggs who traded all of their best players have done a pretty nice job filling up their roster with cast offs and scored 50 points this week defeating the Bees 50-12.  The Juggs got 18 points from their stellar RB duo of Crowell and Forset and then 18 more points from the well known hall of fame WRs of Martavis Bryant and Jordan Matthews.  The Bees were at a disadvantage with the Colts on a bye so Luck and Bradshaw had to sit along with their number one kickers Gostkowski and Vinatieri.

Mafia win 4th in row edging the Ferrets
The Ferrets took a lead with  getting every point the Lions scored, "Chronicles of" Riddick, "Megatron" Johnson and kicker Prater.  Mafia were down 24-11 and got 6 from RB Ellington and then started to chip a way at the lead with Hauschka.  His final two XP from Seahawk TDs tied and then put the Mafia up for the win 25-24.

Bums hold on to hand the Animals their 2nd loss in a row
Bums were up 27-18 and added another TD from Cobb on Sunday night to go along with TDs from Tate, Wilson and Charles "In Charge" to go up 33-18.  It looked like the Animals wouldn't have a chance, they had Kelvin "Private" Benjamin but after 3 quarters of a dumpster fire performance by the Panthers it didn't look like there was a chance in hell.  Well Benjamin finally woke up and scored twice in the 4th quarter to make it 33-30..He just needed one more to complete the comeback, but they ran out of time and the Bums held on.

Lynch and Rodgers share MVP of the Week
Players of the Week:  Aaron Rodgers, Krauts and Marshawn Lynch, Dragons - 24 points
Aaron Rodgers threw for 6 TDs while Lynch ran for 4.  Interesting enough they were playing against each other in the CFFL.

Around the League....Roulette have no problem with the Titans winning 33-9 led by Manning's 5 TD passes for 20 points...The Cocktails couldn't survive the Mayhem's 2 TD they got from their Cardinals D and finished with 18 from their dual Eagle backfield of McCoy and Sproles as the Mayhem beat Cocktails 43-33...The Sinistars struggled with their deadly 10 point connection on the bench in Brady and Gronkowski scoring only 13 points vs. the Wrecking Crew losing 30-13.  The Crew got two big TDs from Jimmy Graham while the Chicago Crew connection was practically silenced.  Thankfully they were not needed but did add a 10 point connection as Cutler  hit Marshall....The Chislers exploded smashing the Crush 65-19.  Some teams are lucky to get one player in double digits, the Chislers had 4, Dez Bryant, Jordy Nelson, Emmanuel Sanders and kicker Crosby...
Manning throws 5 TDs...ho hum...

Playoff and Division Races

The North race is between the Animals and the Wrecking Crew as both are 7-3.  Crew won 3 in row and Animals have lost 2 in row.  They face off in final week of season that might decide the division.  The Chislers at 4-6 are hanging on for their playoff lives and can't afford but one more loss to keep alive.  The Ferrets at 3-7 are nearly done, but not completely out.  They will need to run the table and with games against the Animals, Chislers, and Bums yet to play that will be a tall task.

Similar to the North, the East has 2 first place teams at 7-3, the Krauts and the Roulette.  Krauts with Rodgers and Roulette with Manning.  Both combined for 11 TD passes this week.  Should be a battle to the finish between those two teams...Cocktails at 3-7 not completely out of it yet, but damn close.  Juggs who traded his team away and at 2-8 are out of the playoff race, but might play spoiler more than once as the season plays out...

The South appears to belong to the Killer Bees at 6-4 and one of the top scoring offenses in the league.  Dragons at 4-6 and  Mayhem at 3-7 have outside shots to make playoffs.  Dragons lost a heart breaker could have been only one game behind had they held on against the Krauts...the Titans, well..they are the Titans, perennial basement dwellers...

The West is living up to its title as the Wild Wild West as no team is out of the race for West Division Champs.  Sinistars and Mafia lead the way at 7-3 with the Mafia winning 4 in a row to catch the Sinistars.  Bums are only a game behind at 6-4 and even the Crush at 5-5 sitting two games back is not out of it yet.

Power Rankings

1. Kretz' Krauts 7-3  With Aaron Rodgers at the helm there may be no stopping this blitzkrieg









2. Killer Bees 6-4  Despite their loss Luck and Bradshaw and their kicker will be back for the Number One offense in the CFFL









3. Stamm's Sinistars 7-3  With Brady and Gronkowski healthy and back plus Murray makes for a potent trio













4.  Roulette 7-3  So Dangerous with Manning, Hillman and Welker and now Jeremy Hill











5.  Wrecking Crew 7-3  Going to rely on the power of the TE with Graham and Gates










6.  Alex Animals 7-3 A good record with a below average scoring offense.  Smoke and Mirrors?
