Postweek 9

The expected outcomes did not materialize for many. For the Threat however, this was an overdue confluence of performance that revealed what was possible. Too late? Not in the arid desert of the Titleist division, where even traces of a late win streak could mean a ticket out. The Bowers trade finally paid dividends for TLM in a big win to keep hope alive.

Hope is a routine snack for the 8-1 Wolves, who handled business for the 6th straight week (1 win shy of a franchise record streak) to keep their big lead in the High Rollers group. This one was accomplished with balance, as no player reached 20 but just about everyone showed up.

Speaking of streaks, the Remix ended their 3-game skid with a survivor's win over the Losers. The drafted, dropped, and twice re-purchased Seahawks D (13) proved critical in a close game. This game was also a Fumbowl, our second of the year and 34th overall.

Drake London went for 30 big points in the Crew's victory over the wily Football Team. They've ascended to 7-2 and an outright NLS lead (with the Addicts stumble).

Also in an uncontested division lead? The Cheetahs. Brissett used his starting gig to wipe a meager Marauders lead off the board Monday and give Conover a W3 and top billing in the Titleist.

Can't forget about the Dominators. From Stafford's 25 on down, the team showed up in a needed win for wild card positioning.

There you have it. More teams than not are below .500. While the W/L records are spreading out, there are still 6 postseason passes available at this point. Can you find your way to 7 or 8 wins? Two teams already have, but nothing is guaranteed in the 5 weeks ahead except surprises. Time to align your forces and push for the prize.

Good week overall, but not so much for the locks. Down to one shot in Wk 10.
