Player(s) of the Week:    
Big Oil:     
RB   LaDanian Tomlinson,  50.5Purple Pecans
Big Cattle:   
RB  Ricky Williams,  36.0 Hostile Amish


Notable:
 
- W8 Streak  ... PowerWave sweeps Big Oil division.  A perfect 8-0!
-
W3  Streak..... Thunder Ducks on a late season roll and...drum roll please.... the leagues hottest team (at the moment)!
-
SOY.............. PowerWave officially clinches the Stud-Of-The-Year award.  Congrats PowerWave!

Critical Mass  is a zesty 5-0 and has a chance to be the only undefeated team in intra-division play.  But...the final foe on the schedule is #1 ranked PowerWave.

 - L7 Streak  ... Bobos lose again...... last chance against division rival Pecans this week.
 -
L2 Streak  ... WNC following up nifty W4 streak with ugly L2 streak.  Now they need to Win and hope for some help.

 
If the playoffs started this week*: 
   
#1 PowerWave (12-1)     vs.     #4  Purple Pecans (7-6)
   
#2 BigV (8-5)                  vs.     #3  Critical Mass (7-6)

*Based on standings, NOT based on Power Ranking.

Big Oil
vs. Big Cattle
 - 
Big Cattle leads 16-13.

      

Game of   
The Week:  
PowerWave (12-1,  #1)  vs. Critical Mass (7-6, #3)
PowerWave establishing league records all over the place...would like to finish a nifty 13-1 while denying CM the chance to go undefeated against Big Oil.   Critical Mass has the O, if RB A.Green healthy,  to make the game interesting and......if they win, they are pretty much guaranteed a wildcard slot. 
A Boner  Hostile Amish (6-7,  #5)  vs. WN Cheeseheads (7-6, #6)
Both teams need a W to keep their wildcard hopes alive.   The Amish need a W + a CM Loss + Pecan Loss + outscore Pecan or CM by about 30......   WNC, who has stumbled badly with two straight losses,  needs a Win + either a Pecan or CM loss to qualify for the big dance.
Another Boner  Purple Pecans (7-6,  #4)  vs. Beachtown Bobos (2-11, #10)
On paper this looks like a rout.  The Pecan boys are playing well and are finishing strong having won 3 of 4 (including two SOWs)......A W here puts the Pecans in the Top-4 and clinches a wildcard spot.  However the Pecans have a feast/famine type of O and those wacky Bobo's haven't really been playing all that bad despite that nasty L7 streak.
