ITS A
LOTTERY V PAULS POLARBEARS
 |
| Say it isn't so. |
FANTASY
PREDICTION: LOTTERY BY 7
FANTASY
REALITY: LOTTERY 21.24
So the
record for the best ever start to a CNFLE season will stand at 5
after Coach Paul's dream was ended by that spanner in the works that
is the Lottery. The Giants whopping of San Fran cost the Polarbears
as QB Manning did little more than hand the ball off for the entire
second half delivering just 13.52pts to the cause. TE Bennett and
kicker Akers all failed to produce in the same game. So what now for
the Polarbears? They have befitted from the second softest schedule
in the league thus far, they remain top of the North despite being
ranked 3 in their division for points scored. Is the ice starting to
melt around Coach Paul's franchise. Remember, this is a Coach who
boasts just a 10 and 30 record over the course of the past 3 seasons.
Have the Polarbears just been riding one big lucky wave? Week 7
sees them match up against the hapless Disco, a second defeat here
and big questions will have to be asked.
Coach
Elliott was delighted after the win. “I'm delighted.' he told the
collective media. A season high 131.46pts, solid contributions all
round and a .500 record that is good enough to take them to top of
the Central. Have a look at the points against and you'll see that
the Lottery have faced by way the toughest schedule to date, with the
high scoring Bench Warmers and French Leader to follow in consecutive
weeks its far to early for too much excitement for Lottery fans.
THE
BONES ROCKS V SUPER SWEDES
 |
| The Valhalla Bowl. Retained. |
FANTASY
PREDICTION: SWEDES BY 6
FANTASY
REALITY: SWEDES BY 0.96
The
Swedes needed 18.54pts from McGahhe and Thomas in the Monday night
game to steal a win from the Rocks in a horribly low scoring match
up. McGahhe 9.80pts, Thomas 9.70pts, making a total of 19.50pts.
The Valhalla Bowl is retained. Just. The Swedes are, somehow, the
fourth ranked team in the entire league but they have had by far the
softest schedule of all teams thus far. Take a look into the Swedes
future and the fixture list has dealt them a fine hand. If they
finish second in the North they will make the playoffs for an
impressive two years in a row.
The
Rocks have now dropped 3 on the spin and have conceded their lead
atop the Central. Their 74.68pts total was the lowest of the week.
They are ranked 9th overall and its tough to see where the
next win is going to come from. One simple decision would have
changed all of this. Why oh why leave Greene on the bench? Greene
has spent three seasons waiting to break out and finally its
happened. Never lose faith in your starters, never, ever, ever.
FRENCH
LEADER V TIM RIGGINS BENCHWARMERS
 |
| It makes no sense. |
FANTASY
PREDICTION: LEADER BY 3
FANTASY
REALITY: LEADER BY 1.1
To
understand how the Benchwarmers sit bottom of the North you would
have to conduct an in depth study of quantum physics for the normal
rules of science will not suffice. 54.22pts from Rogers, 21.50pts
from Bryant, 139.22 total pts and you still lose. Its not possible I
hear you cry! The Benchwarmers are the most explosive looking team
in the league and should surely be favourites for the whole darn show
and yet, as things stand, they won't even make the payoffs.
The
French Leader has flirted with the playoffs for a number of season
now but has never quite managed to close the deal but this 2012
outfit look very much like they are going to go all the way. This is
a team packed with 20 plus pt players that are delivering on a
consistent basis. Week 7 sees them take on the Mafia and for my
money that one is already over. Don't be surprised if the Leader
spends the rest of this season sitting proudly atop of the South.
SEVENTY
NINE FC V AUTOPICKWARRIORS
 |
| Coach Keeper League. |
FANTASY
PREDICTION: WARRIORS BY 17
FANTASY
REALITY: WARRIORS BY 18.48
AJ Green
and Ray Rice scored a pair of TD's each to set up a comfortable win
for the increasingly relevant Warriors. Coach Conor's team appears
to be capable of posting a high score in a variety of ways, this week
courtesy of a couple of outstanding performers. Previous wins have
been built on an even spread of points. On current form the only
thing that will stop a march to a first every playoff berth is the
ridiculously strong nature of the North division. But wait a minute.
Have a little look to the week 7 match up against the Rocks. The
Warriors have an astonishing 5 players out on a bye. That poor
autopick management.
Seventy
Nine can point the finger at their receiving core for this defeat
with a return of just 11.80pts from the trio of Lloyd, Roberts and
Brown. When your second highest scoring player is your kicker your
probably looking at a defeat. A .500 record well be enough to make
the playoffs this year and with only one player on bye in week 7
Coach Keeper League can simply take the loss and move on.
THE
HAIRY FROG DISCO V WEST COAST MAFIA
 |
| Gordon. One lucky TD grab. |
FANTASY
PREDICTION: DISCO 7
FANTASY
REALITY: MAFIA BY 20.30
The
Mafia hung around the Disco all Sunday night like a bad smell. This
was one of the Disco's better performance's so far this season but
they just couldn't buy any breathing space going into the late games.
Vick, a surprise pick to start, was a painful watch but somehow
managed to post 29.34pts. Murray looked set for a decent game until
he fell victim to a pharaoh's curse early in the third quarter. It
looks as if the luck has finally run dry for what was once the
league's undisputed luckiest team. This has all the makings of the
Disco's worst ever season. Coach Calum needs to pick up a couple
more Gordon's to have any hope of making the playoffs this time
round.
Coach
Cullen said he would and indeed he did. He may however wish to make
his way over to Jordy Nelson's locker and give a lad a thankful pat
on the behind. 33.10pts from the Packers receiver was the decider in
this one. Hmm Bop Hanson is next in line for thanks as the Lions
kicker kept finding the middle of the posts against a hopelessly
coached Eagles outfit. So are the Mafia back? It'll take more than
a win against the league's weakest team to convince anyone that that
is the case.
FEAR
FACTORY V TTTTAYLOR
 |
| The silent Coach. |
FANTASY
PREDICTION: TTTTAYLOR BY 10
FANTASY
REALITY: FACTORY 4.44
Before
we take to much please in the demise of your CNFLE champion let us
remember that we've seen this before in the shape of former champions
79FC. It would appear that there is no worse place to draft from
than 12th. The Silent Coach rolled the dice when he took
WR Jones with his first pick and its not paid off, just 6.30pts on
this outing. RB Charles seems to be slowing now the early season
adrenalin has run dry and QB Ryan also struggled against the Raiders.
It's true the winning points were left on the bench in the form of
story teller Gresham and even WR Britt would have handed Ttttaylor
the win but the cards are just not falling for leagues quietest
Coach.
The
Factory left it late to pick a valid starting line up and thus
avoided a hefty league fine. But Coach Botond should really be
paying more attention. It has been stated before but here we go
again...this season a .500 can land you a division title. I know it
shouldn't, but it can. So there. Brees in for Tannehill and
Chandler in for Gates and win number 4 should be on its way against
the Swedes. The Factory remain in contention.
GOOD
CALL
Coach
Botond. QB Tannehill was a decent pick up and did enough to secure
the win.
BAD CALL
Coach
Lars. Benching Greene and his match winning 37.10pts. Ouch.
ON THE
BOARD
GRIFFIN
III – 131.54
VICK -
103.82
So the
Polarbears lose, last years finalists are this years bottom ranked
teams and the Lottery are top of their division. Its the strangest
season we've every witnessed!
Good luck Gentleman
Jim Marrs - A dreamer.
