Dukes of Hazzard (133.00) vs Dirty Birds (80.00)Proving that the louder you squawk, the more people tune you out. The Dirty Birds had a huge win last week but came out to play for sole possession of 2nd place and well, crapped a big one. Ronnie Brown? Negative 2 points. Everyone score less than 7.5 points except for Carson Palmer (23) and Larry Johnson (27). Against a growling powerhouse like the Dukes, that's not gonna cut it. Exploding for 133 points, the Dukes rode Willie Parker (19), Steve Smith (17), and Reggie Wayne (20.5) to a win. Plus they picked up the disappointing Reggie Bush, reinvigorated him -- he went from a losing franchise to a winning one -- and he put in 14 points. But forget about football, Gene's going to be a daddy! Duke Jr!
Razor Ramon (113.50) vs Jedi Knights (62.50)Despite historically collapsing in the second half, Ryan is proving that he's got a bit of stamina this year. Yes sir, with his QBs Drew Brees (500+ yards! 26 pts) and Tom Brady (25) leading the way, the Ramons almost doubled up Lum and his Jedi Knights. The Force is not with you Kevin Jones (0 pts), nor you Isaac Bruce (0.50), nor really, anyone else on the team. No Jedi player notched more than 11.50 points. Hum, that's not going to add up to a victory, not against a math whiz like Ryan! With a win in either of next two weeks, the Razors will secure the number one seed heading into the playoffs.
Fobulous (113.50) vs Brown Starz (113.50)There's nothing more exciting than... a tie? Despite Galvez still trash-talking to last week's opponent, the Brown Starz rode recent acquisition Jamal Lewis (29.50 pts) to a heads up battle against LT (42.5) and the rest of the Fobulous -- otherwise known as "The LT Cheerleaders." To be quite honest, how can Jimmy have LT, far and away the best player in fantasy this year, and manage to only win 5 games? This team also has big names such as Brian Westbrook, Terrell Owens, Deuce McAllister, and Anquan Boldin on its roster. Only 5 wins? Does someone have his mind on pursuing a different kind of (relationship) championship? With this extraordinary tie, Galvez sneaks into the top three and has a chance to overtake Gene to get a bye in the playoffs. Never underestimate the heart of a champion!
Pizza the Hut (121.00) vs El Nino's (65.00)Hey look, it's the Toilet Bowl three weeks early! These last place teams were so excited to be out of the playoffs they decided to play in WK11 just for a preview. Marcus got a win! Marcus got a win! As Hong finds new depths to sink to (bye bye Donovan, ouchy ouchy Marques Colston), Marcus comes on strong and rides Chad Johnson's 40 points to a well deserved win. Supporting best player awards go to Matt Leinart (21 pts) and Frank Gore (23). As for Hong's team, well, Thomas Jones scored 13! Woo-hoo!
Neither team is statistically eliminated from the playoffs yet, but barring two losses by Lum and two wins by either Marcus and Hong, we know which teams will be on the outside looking in come playoff time. However, winners never say "die" and both of these teams could still mess up the playoff matchups by pulling an pset or two in the coming weeks. Remember, it's never too early to play for the morale victory. "I'll make you famous....."
