Week 7 Odds

-Week seven begins with two 4-1 teams. Cougar Hunters face a challenge after 4 straight wins vs. teams with losing records. 5 guys Keith Holden (20.2pts/gm) and Brian Cunningham (16.3pts/gm) face off against the Hunters' Byron Hall (24.2pts/gm) and Phil Jackman (19.3pts/gm).
-Coming off a big win against seasonal rival Night Cap, 4-1 Moose battle 4-1 Swag in a contrast of playing styles with Moose's o/u avg. of 162/gm and Swag's o/u of 124/gm.
-Coming off their bye week, The Truth will solidify their hold on 1st place at season's halfway point. The Sons stand, on shaky ground, in the way.
-Warriors and Lights Out have a critical position battle as both teams are looking for a mid to late spot in the playoffs. Both teams balanced attacks will be tested.
-Critical Mass should be rested up after their bye week. Waking up to Night Cap coming off a loss is a beast of a woman to wake up next to. Critical Mass's Jeff Fus (20.3) and Derrick Forshee (16.0) will need to outshoot Night Cap's four players averaging 15+pts/gm. Vankoski (19.5), Eka (18.4), Craig (17.0), and Vugrinovich (15.2)
-Old School continued its slide with a forfeit loss in Week 6. Their playoff chances rest on a battle with a quickly improving Agents team. The Agents need to get all their weapons to show up to have a chance.

Week 6 Odds

-Week six begins with the wrecking crews. Night Cap has been throttling teams by an avg. +28.3pts/gm. Moose pushes margins by an avg. +25.5pts/gm. Night Cap's 2nd best defense (57.5pts vs./gm.) will need to contain Moose's big three: Hochman 23.3/pts, Wehling 23.0/pts, & Perry 22.0/pts. Night Cap counters with Vankoski 19.5/pts, Eka 17.8/pts, & Craig 17.8/pts.
-Swag continues their improved season with a take on Agents. The Agent's Jon Clinton continues to put up impressive numbers (22.3pts/gm) w/o consistent defensive support.
-Coming off their bye week, Cougar Hunters have what appears to be a simple task vs. Winning Time.
-Chuck's Fave 5 and Old School face off in what could be an early season make it/break it game for both teams.
-5 Guys eked out a win in week 5 with only ... 4 guys ... for the first 8 min...Lights Out needs Evans Watson (18.7/gm) to continue recent momentum.
-Warriors and The Sons do battle in what looks to be a containment battle. The Warrior's Jason Thomas (18.0/gm) need Charles McGuire-Wien (3, 10, 20, 10) to provide consistent support.

Week 5 Scoring


Week 5 Odds

-Night Cap has been on a tear since their week 1 loss dominating teams with a league leading point differential 26.7pts/game. Agents and top 10 scorer, Jon Clinton 21.3pts/gm, need to find a way tighten up their league worst team defense, 96pts/gm, or this one is over before it begins.
-The run & shoot Truth (avg. o/u 165.3) continue their 4 game winning streak vs. pace squad, Warriors (avg. o/u 120.7). Warriors need to slow the tempo to stand a chance vs. Truth's big three - Nick Freshman 22.7/gm, Andrew Huling 21.7/gm and Joby Ryan 20.3/gm.
-Coming off their bye week, Moose looks to regroup after a disappointing upset at the hands of Old School vs. #2 Critical Mass. League leaders Mark Wehling and Mike Hochman look to out-shoot Critical Mass's Jeff Fus.
-5 guys lost in triple overtime to The Truth in week 4 in what some are calling the best game of all time. SOTH, who beat Winning Time in OT in week 4 hopes they aren't looking for revenge.
-Lights Out need a win and hope to roll vs. Winning Time also struggling to find their first W.
-Swag continues to slow opponents down with a smothering defense (57.3pts vs./gm). Fave 5 need to rebound from their 50+ pt defeat at the hands of Night Cap in Week 4.
