Stud-Of -The Week: BigV Player(s) of the Week: Big Oil: RB Deuce McAllister, 34.5 - PowerWave Big Cattle: QB Michael Vick, 28.2 - Thunder Ducks Trade Corner: - Thunder Ducks trade QB Duante Culpepper to the Asleep at the Wheel in exchange for WR Tim Brown. 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.
