Week 6 Point Spreads

Week 5 Accuracy: 8 out of 12 (68%) Season Accuracy: 36 out of 60 (60%)   Upset of the Week +11 Death Valley 10, Real Charleston 7 Congratulations to the Demons on their first win and huge upset. The Demons did a superb job of keeping a lid on the prolific pass offense of the Galacticos by controlling the clock. QB Kurt Warner can only be limited not stopped going 18 of 25 for 211 but only 1 touchdown. Death Valley QB Trent Edwards dinked and tossed for 200 yds (28 of 31!) with Le'ron McClain and Mewelde Moore keeping Real Charleston honest on the ground. The key play was Warner fumbling with 1:48 left in the game on the Demons' 37 yard line.     +1 SoCal (2-3) vs Montcalm (2-3) The Panthers of Montcalm are coughing up hairballs instead of leading their division 5-0. +3 New England (4-1) vs Real Charleston (2-3) The Generals are fulfilling their destiny better than the Real Charlestonions.  +4 Great Lakes (2-3) at San Pedro(C) (1-4) Both teams had not doen well with the tight point spreads they've had. That's not good. +4 NW Missouri (1-4) vs Steeltown (2-3) Roughcut better get another win in because a tough stretch starts next week. +4 Knoxville (2-3) vs Tillman (4-1) Rangers only loss is to NCT??? Montcalm failing? Dayton at 3-2? Division is crazy. +5 San Diego (2-3) at Denver (3-2) The Denver Dynamite are the Cinderella team so far this season. +5 North Carolina (2-3) at Wausau (2-3) Wausau's division is a 4 way tie. Will someone PLEASE step up? +6 Mt. Pilot (2-3) vs Death Valley (1-4) What are either of these teams doing with some wins? Stop it, just stop it. +10 Transylvania (2-3) vs Fresno (4-1) Outlaws are smokin' Real Charleston for the division but loss to them the first game. +10 Dayton (3-2) at San Pedro(B) (2-3) Dragons hanging in there while San Pedro is under-performing. +11 Nashville (3-2) at Hermitage (2-3) The Force are playing more Heroic than the Hermitage Heroes. +20 Dallas (5-0) at Donelson (5-0) Ugh. Pretender vs Contender. The Dragons hate Dallas, Colossus, Gladiators, Puppies and Kittens. They have the offense, the defense, the coaching, home field, fury, fire breathing and scales.

Could stop their streak this week. +3 Nashville (2-2) at Great Lakes (2-2) Nashville is supposed to be zip in the W column.

Supposed to be a 10-6 team. +11 Death Valley (0-4) at Real Charleston (2-2) The Galaticos could win out. Of course, they should be 3-1. +14 San Pedro(C) (1-3) at Donelson (4-0) Teams with San Pedro in their names are embarrassing their town. +17 NW Missouri (1-3) vs New England (3-1) The Rednecks, an original TTFBA team, have NEVER lost 4 games in a row.

Week 3 Accuracy: 9 out of 12 (75%) That's more like it. Season Accuracy: 21 out of 36 (58%)   Upset of the Week North Carolina (+9) 23, Tillman 14 Beware the Computer Coach these days. Ranger QB David Garrard was picked off 3 times including twice in the final 3 minutes to doom Tillman at the hands of the CPU coached Triad Tremblers. Tillman had 341 yards of offense vs 254 for North Carolina but could not stop Matt Ryan (only 11 of 25 for 130 yds, 1 interception but 2 touchdowns) and Kevin Smith (14 carries for 75 yds, 5.4 avg).   A 1st qtr INT set up a 27 yd FG for NCT but Tillman quickly answered with a 67 yd TD to Lance Moore, catch NCT in a run defense. Seven minutes later a flea flicker to Bobby Wade for 39 yds put NCT back on top 10-7. A botched fake FG attempt near the end of the first half by Tillman set up another Triad FG. Halftime: NCT 13, TIL 7.   Tillman comes back midway 3rd quarter with another TD pass to Moore, this time for 5 yards. But NCT answers on a 11 play, 60 yd drive featuring 9 straight running plays, capped off with Wade matching Moore and catching another TD pass. 3rd quarter ends with NCT ahead 20-14. The Ranger 4th quarter is disastrous: a missed 41 yard FG, a failed 4th and 4 on NCT's 36 yd line, an INT on NCT's 36 and an INT run back to the Tillman 11 with 2 minutes left.   +1 Fresno (2-1) at Hermitage (1-2) Heroes are underachieving, Outlaws are overachieving. Watch out Hermitage. +1 Steeltown (2-1) at Denver (2-1) The Dynamite are blasting away - next up: refined iron ore. +2 Transylvania (1-2) vs North Carolina (1-2) The Evil Dead are supposed to be 8-8? YES. Watch 'em. +3 Tillman (2-1) at New England (3-0) Rangers finish up longest losing streak they will have all season (2 games). +3 San Diego (2-1) at Wausau (0-3) What? Colossus must be wrong. Right? Wrong. Wausau 24, San Diego 21. +4 Death Valley (0-3) at San Pedro(C) (0-3) Michael Turner + Marion Barber + Joseph Addai / No Run Defense = Loss. +4 Knoxville (1-2) vs Great Lakes (2-1) Midshipmen pour water on on the Smokies fire. +6 Mt. Pilot (1-2) vs Dayton (2-1) Dragons, settle down now. You are supposed to be bottom feeder of your division. +7 SoCal (2-1) vs Dallas (3-0) Gladiators 4-0? Sure looks like it. +9 NW Missouri (1-2) vs Montcalm (1-2) Montcalm is giving away a division. Terrible, terrible. They should be 3-0. +10 Nashville (1-2) at San Pedro(B) (1-2) San Pedro is giving away a division. Terrible, terrible. They should be 3-0. +10 Real Charleston (2-1) at Donelson (3-0) Donelson beat Denver by 19. Denver beat Real Charleston by 21. See where I'm going with that?
