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: R B 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.

| Purple Pecans II (4-5) | 74.6 | Skinny: Lackluster performance + being swept by PowerWave = "let's vie for a wild card berth" status. Stars: Drew Bledsoe, Hines Ward, OTB: -- Next: vs. BigV (6-3, #2)

| BigV (6-3) | 113.1 | Skinny: Third straight win allows BigV to maintain one game division edge. M.Faulk shines again. Stars: Marshall Faulk, Jimmy Smith, Donovan McNabb OTB: -- Next: vs. Purple Pecans (4-5, #6)
