SOW:   BigV

Where's My Mojo?  
Mucho Mojo: 
  - BigV win streak now at 7, add the weekly SOW and a huge final day to put an exclamation point on the scoring title....hot, hot, hot!.
 - Red Storm finishes regular season in style with 5th straight W.  Owns all the regular season hardware....can he bring home the title?
  - PowerWave has back-to-back W's as title defense begins in earnest.
  - The Crying Loons snap that nasty L8 streak while sweeping the winless Assassins.

 
Missing Mojo:   
 - Silent Assassins 0-21.
 - The Beachtown Bobos drop 3rd straight,  2-10 over last 12.
 - Phat Pharm  drops third straight...all heartbreakers.

Playoff
Preview

 PowerWave (15-6, #3)  vs. Lethal Lobsters (10-11,  #6)
Skinny:  PowerWave begins defense of the crown against the upstart Lobsters.  PowerWave handled the rookie manager with ease during the regular season earning SOW awards in each encounter.  While this might look like a rout on paper, don't under-estimate to scrappy Lobsters.  Both teams are playing well of late and this is a very tough first round match-up for the defending champs.

              Regular Season H2H:    PowerWave 2-0       (Week 8:  PW 11-2       Week 17:  PW  12-1)

             PowerWave:    vs.  Playoff Teams    6-6      .500                   Lethal Lobsters:       vs.  Playoff Teams    3-9     .250

Playoff
Preview

 Phat Pharm (12-9, #4)  vs. Reckless Drivers (13-8,  #5)
Skinny:  These two teams hooked up twice in the regular season and it was the Reckless Drivers that won each of the closely contested games.  Look for more of the same as both teams are dangerous and look to put together a playoff run that will carry them to the this years title.

              Regular Season H2H:    Reckless Drivers 2-0       (Week 7:  RD 8-5       Week 16:  RD  7-6)
