TTFBA Week 13 Point Spreads

Week 12 Accuracy: 9 out of 12 (75%) Must...get...10 out of 12...
Season Accuracy: 97 out of 144 (67%)

+1 Montcalm (8-4) at Hermitage (7-5)
With playoff lives in the balance, this will be more brutal than watching an Al Davis press conference.

+1 Transylvania (5-7) at Dakota (5-7)
A meeting of two 5-7 teams would usually be a snoozer but the Payton conference is a collection of mediocrity so these could be playoff teams.

+1 Fresno (7-5) at Muncie (9-3)
Suddenly a new coach at Fresno. Former one was a CEO for one of the Big "Sucking Cash" Three and had to drop out to make some business trips to Washington.

+3 Dayton (4-8) at Philadelphia (7-5)
Did you know Dayton is also known as "Gem City"?

+4 Mt. Pilot (2-10) at Knoxville (5-7)
Upset by Dakota didn't do Knoxville any favors but see comment earlier regarding mediocrity. Mt. Pilot has more computer problems than the driver's license office.

+5 Ohio (6-6) vs New England (5-7)
Intriguing if not thrilling. Ohio leads their division but has three dogs with 5-7 records barking at their heels. Did I say dogs? It's a metaphor not a diss. Or is it?

+8 Steeltown (9-3) at Great Lakes (9-3)
See, in a real conference, games matching two good teams like this happens all the time. That point spread is disturbing, however. Maybe that shows what a real team in a real division in a real conference is like.

+11 Death Valley (2-10) at Dallas (3-9)
If any game this week deserved the word "Death" associated with it, this is the one. The two teams average 2.5 wins. Dallas is the one embarrassment to the division of Nashville, Muncie and Great Lakes.

+16 North Carolina (4-8) at San Pedro (6-6)
Corsairs are sinking themselves this year.

+18 Donelson (2-10) vs Tillman (12-0)
After a couple of early season upsets, the fat lady has been singing in Donelson for many weeks now. Sorry, was that insensitive? The glandularly challenged? The metabolically ungifted? The obese cow that needs to pass up the Twinkies for a little treadmill time?

+22 Real Charleston (2-10) at Nashville (11-1)
Can you believe that DTC predicted a 9-7 season for Real Charleston? But that prediction was made a long, long time ago. Division rival Fresno has had three coaches and two names since then.

+25 Wausau (5-7) vs NW Missouri (9-3)
The Blue Bombers shouldn't be 5-7. How did they get to be 5-7? What are they doing winning 5 games? Something evil lurks in the Colossus software.
