Stud-Of -The Week:   BigV

Player(s) of the Week:    
Big Oil:     
RB  Deuce McAllister,  34.5PowerWave
Big Cattle:   
QB  Michael Vick,  28.2 Thunder Ducks 

Trade Corner:
-
Thunder Ducks

Notable:
 
 - PowerWave
sets a new league record for most consecutive wins: 8
 - BigV  earns second straight SOW  (and three out of last four).   Heating up!
 
- Purple Pecans snapped that L3 streak and have moved back into Top-4 PR status (#3)
 


Big Oil
vs. Big Cattle
 -  Series tied 9-9.

      

Game of   
The Week:  
Hostile Amish (4-4,  #4)  vs. Critical Mass (4-4, #5)
 The Amish have been in the GOW for three straight weeks now (1-1 record).   Now they face Critical Mass in a rematch of their week 4 classic (CM 95.3 - HA 94.4).   Both teams come off of tough losses and the both need a W to stay in the hunt for the division title.
A Boner  Purple Pecans (4-4,  #3)  vs. PowerWave (8-0, #1)
PowerWave dusted the Pecans 186.3-106.7 en route to setting a league record for scoring in one game.  The Pecans just snapped their L3 streak and moved back into a top-4 slot, and second place in the Big Oil division.  The Pecans have a golden opportunity to avenge the loss and to derail a perfect season as they catch PowerWave at a time when his two stud RBs (Holmes/McAllister) are on bye weeks.  
Another Boner  BigV (5-3,  #2)  vs. Lethal Lobsters (3-5, #8)
BigV is 4-0 vs. Big Cattle but is a humble 1-3 vs. Big Oil.    The Lobsters stand at 3-5 but could easily be 5-3 if not of a couple of heartbreaks.    PLUS:  This is the only Big Oil-Big Cattle game of the week and, with the series tied 9-9 so far, the winner here puts their division back in the lead.
