Clinched Division Title                Clinched Playoff Berth

Stud-Of -The Week:   PowerWave

Player(s) of the Week:    
Big Oil:      RB  Tom Brady,  35.6 - PowerWave
Big Cattle:    RB  Marshall Faulk,  30.5 - BigV 


Notable: 
 - PowerWave 
    ... continues his ongoing league record as W streak reaches 9
    ... has clinched both "Weeks at No. 1" title as well as a playoff berth.
 - BigV has won three straight and now stands at a healthy 6-3.
 - No teams cracked the "top 10" scoring list this week.  First time this season that no one has.
 - Big Cattle has overtaken Big Oil in the season series and leads for the first time ever.
    ...  but all 5 games this week are Big Cattle vs. Big Oil so watch out!
 

Big Oil vs. Big Cattle
 -  Big Cattle pulls ahead 10-9.

      
Game of   
 The Week:   		Critical Mass (5-4,  #3)  vs. Asleep at the Wheel (4-5, #7)
Critical Mass looking good but has PowerWave and BigV remaining.  They defeated AATW handily in Week 2 but needs this game to maintain pace in the division.  AATW has a tough team that is making noise regarding the playoffs but faces a pretty tough schedule over the last five games.  A W here would really bolster their chances.
