MICHIGAN HATES U MAKES LEAGUE HATE HIM AS HE HANGS TRIPLE-DIGITS

The League average in Week9 was only 22.5 and most of those points were scored by Michigan Hates U and Schematic Advantage. The Pac12 was relatively easy as 62% picked correctly. Dog games were less successful as only eight converted. The big news is in the Top10 as the top seven teams are only separated by 11.5 points. Michigan Hates U made up for his first eight weeks and jumped from #28 to #1 with a 103 point week. USC fumbled into the end-zone and prompted an improbable 7.5 cover by Stanford. More importantly, 159 points were won in the League. Betting against the Lobos paid off again for 115 and Clemson finally laid their egg and spoiled 80 points.

In the Urban Heart Division, Michigan Hates U hosted a scoring clinic as he racked in 35 bonus points for a 4-team parlay, 20 for his perfect week and 10 for the conference bonus. The 65 bonus points helped him to reach 103 and move him up from #28 to #1 where he leads by ½ a point. He now leads the Heart Division over 505Chicharito and The Well Hungarians who are tied for #5 overall. NxtLvl eyes the top ten at #13 while the Juice continued to struggle.

On Planet Weis, former-champ Scaga scored 48 to take over the lead. Team Wigley dropped to #7 with her 28 but is two wins away from the top spot. iBlink battled to stay relevant and ended up at #16.

In the Testeverde Ten, Brown Eye dug deep and picked a Missouri 11.5 point nugget for his dog game. The win helped the world-renowned and globally celebrated art director move to #10 and take the conference lead. Jamie O’Hare lost his only winner in a parlay and his zero drops him nine spots to #19. It’s also not sure if veterans #22 Seminole26 and #25 La Maquina really want to win this goddamn thing or not.

Before talking about the two explosive bastards atop the Shapiro All-Stars, it's worth noting that the duo #14 Mormon Whores haven’t destructed yet and are putting together a nice little run. Great stuff, gang. As far as the big boys are concerned, #3 Air Raid and #4 Schematic Advantage are both dangerous conteders. The Advantage posted 88.5 with the help of a perfecto, a 16.5 pt power game and 14 pt dog.

DB in the HOF followed last week’s 42.5 with a 60 and jumped above the who’s who of the Wuerffel. He picked a great week to put up a big number and jumped from #15 to #8. Urban Cowboy suffered four spots for his 21 and is now #9. Barndawg was just a pick away from a perfecto but he doesn’t get hit too hard for it as he dropped two to #11. #44 Mile High and #45 El Tejon had the same hair-brained scheme and suffered for it. Their Oregon St. moneyline 5-stacks yielded zero points. Last year, Mile High overcame a 13.5 point deficit to beat WinMonster5000 (El Tejon) for the West Atlantic Championship. This year they’ll battle for second-to-last.

If you have any questions in terms of scoring, or how we reach certain decisions, please ask, we want this League to be as transparent as possible.

Week10 is an SEC week. Enjoy.

OTHER BUNDLES OF JOY INCLUDED SCAGA AND BARNDAWG’S 60-POINT TWINS, MAMACITA’S 63, AND MR. KASEY JOHNSON’S MYSTERIOUS 68-POINT SURPRISE. YOU SURE THAT’S YOURS?

THE WELL HUNGARIANS FINALLY FLEXED OUT THEIR POTENTIAL AND THEIR 69 LANDED THEM IN THE TOP POSITION. ALTHOUGH THE WIN GAVE THEM CONTROL OF THE HEART DIVISION, EARLIER IN THE WEEK THE HUNGARIANS PLEDGED A POWER 5-STACK MONEYLINE ON MICH ST. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY PULLED OUT JUST BEFORE KICKOFF AND LEFT 45 POINTS ON THE DOORSTEP. THOSE POINTS COULD BE CRUCIAL, AS TOBIAS RENE’S BROTHER, 505CHICHARITO, CONTINUES TO BE #2. JUICE LOST HIS 4-TEAM PARLAY BEFORE SATURDAY EVEN STARTED AND FELL FROM #14 TO #20. HEAD OPTED FOR A 5-TEAM PERFECT WEEK PARLAY TO BRING HIM BACK TO GLORY. HE’S NOW AT #50.

ON PLANET WEIS, SCAGA LAYED DOWN THE 5 STACK, AND HIS DOG GAME HELPED HIM SNAG THE CONFERENCE BONUS. HE HAD TWO 10-POINT MWC GAMES IN CASE YOU’RE SCORING AT HOME. WIGLEY DROPPED ONE SPOT TO #4 AFTER GOING 4 OF 6 ON THE WEEK, BUT SHE STILL LEADS THE PLANET BY NINE OVER SCAGA.

AIR RAID DOUBLED THEIR LEAD AMONGST THE SHAPIRO ALL-STARS AND MOVED FROM #4 TO #3 AFTER AN OKLAHOMA ST 4STACK. WILSON’S STREAKY PLAY CONTINUED, BUT THIS WEEK IT WAS THE GOOD KIND, AS HE HIT A PARLAY AND WON THE CONFERENCE ROAST BEEF. MENTALLY DERNARDED MOVED UP SIX SPOTS TO #12 AFTER AN E MICH DOG GAME MADE HIM LOOK ALL SMART. DOUBLE BIRD STRIKE SOARED UP NINE SPOTS TO #13 AFTER HE POSTED A 40.

THE TESTEVERDE TEN IS STILL LED BY #10 JAMIE O’HARE AFTER HE POSTED ANOTHER UNFLASHY, RUN-OF-THE-MILL, 24. #14 BROWN EYE FELL TWO SPOTS TO #14 BUT IS ONLY ONE BIG WEEK FROM THE CONFERENCE LEAD. THE LEAGUE PUNCHING BAG FINALLY FOUGHT BACK AS MR. KASEY JOHNSON POSTED A PERFECT WEEK AND SHOT UP SEVEN SPOTS TO #42.

THE WUERFFEL CAUGHT FIRE AS TEAMS AVERAGED OVER 39 POINTS EACH. FRANK THE TANK HAD 51, BARNDAWG HAD 60, MAMACITA HAD 63, BUT MILE HIGH GRABBED THE BONUS AND POSTED AN 86 AS HE OUTSCORED HIS FIRST SEVEN WEEKS. THE HUSSION FAMILY FINALLY TURNED THE CORNER WITH A COMBINED 199 POINTS AND 20 SPOTS IN THE STANDINGS. DESPITE ALL THE MONSTER SCORES, IT WAS #5 URBAN COWBOY WHO ENDED UP AT THE TOP OF THE CONFERENCE AS HACK ATTACK FELL TO #7 AFTER A COSTLY 14.

WEEK9 WILL BE A PAC-12 WEEK. ALL THOSE THAT HAVE THE PAC-12 AS YOUR POWER CONFERENCE, YOU HAVE TWO 10-POINT GAMES. LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

CHICHARITO HANGS 72.5 EN ROUTE TO EL NUMERO DOS. BROWN EYE MAKES MARK ON LEAGUE WITH PERFECTO.

League play improved and the Week7 average was just over 25 points with 15 teams hitting their MAC game. But as deplorable as .326 is, it still was a 77-point improvement from last week’s Independents raping. Dog games also improved from 15 last week to 64 this week. LSU and Oklahoma St were monsters for the League and won nearly 300 points combined. Strategy continued to play a huge role as parlays were 1 for 9, Power 5-stacks were 2 for 3, and Brown Eye and 505 Chicharito got perfectos. Even more compelling than the positives, were some of the gut wrenching loses that a couple CFGL members faced. Rutgers botched an easy FG with :20 left in the game to NOT cover, and handed TP3 a Power 5-stack loss and broke up a perfecto for iBlink. In the Hawaii game, a blocked extra point and return for two blocked Coach’s perfecto. Also, five of the bottom seven failed to score, which sheds light on a key observation; Scoring points will move you up in the standings.

Hack Attack stayed at #1 for the third straight week, but his lead is chipped away to only 1.5. Hack’s lead in the Wuerffel went from twenty to ten as Urban Cowboy hit 50 on an Oklahoma St Power 5-stack. Hack Attack can’t feel comfortable with the legendary Cowboy digging his spurs in. TP3 showcased the flipside of the Power 5stack as Rutgers screwed him down from #6 to #19. Elsewhere in the Wuerffel, Mile High finally got out of the forties and dropped to #50. Both Hussion boys were shut out as father, Frank the Tank, was a Ducks cover away from a perfecto. He stays close to home at #41.

Wigley still rules Planet Weis even after Oklahoma screwed up her perfecto. After winning her 60 last week, the Sooners cost her 30 this week. Will she forgive her beloveds and pick them again or kick 'em to the curb for good? Deeds hit his second 3-team parlay of the year but ended up one short of theTop 10, extending his current streak to four. Scaga made good use of his Power Week, went 4 of 5 and jumped from #21 to #16. Rum Bomb continued to have a low treat level and clocked in at #29.

There were three Shapiro All-Stars one game short of perfectos as Hammes, Rookie and Mormon Whores missed out on the conference bonus. Instead, AirRaid went from #11 to #4 with his Power 5-stack and secured the bonus and the lead in the conference as Schematic Advantage fell by way of Dernard. Speaking of which, Dernarded finally departed the top10 as he only was able to muster a 3stack win. Former champion, The Doctor, took two MAC Power games in the morning and improved four spots to #31.

A new leader emerged in the Urban Heart Division as 505 Chicharito hit a perfecto and got 72.5 points on the week. He now leads # 16 NxtLvl by 19. The Well Hungarians dropped down three more spots to #10 and are getting desperate for a big week. Juice got back on track with a 31 but missed out on a MAC win when turned in a CUSA team instead. He dropped one spot to #14.

Brown Eye exploded from the bowels of the League with a perfecto and jumped to #12 from #33. That’s exactly why you shouldn’t panic. He’s now only 7 points back of Testaverde Ten leader, #8 Jamie O’Hare. Sooners2000 tried to send his picks in at 2pm on Saturday and dropped to #42 with his zero. The fact that he’s been disqualified twice this season and is still better than eight others is a disturbing reality. Coach is in at #26, but he’s winning the real battle as he ended up five points more than wife, and reigning Bowl Champ, #27 Mamacita.

Week8 is a Mountain West week and the Lobos play at TCU.

Holler with questions.

The Commissioner.

Week Seven Spreads and Pick Sheet

TEAM WIGLEY BACK IN THE 60’S. BARNDAWG PLAYS DEAD.

For the good of the League, it was the worst week of the year with a six-pack of donuts and a few stacks of suck. The Week6 average dipped to a mere 20.5 and only four members won their Independents game. To be fair, 18 others posted 3-point ties with the BYU/San Jose St game. Despite the 54 total points won on the BYU game, the tie killed four perfectos. Victims include TP3, Urban Cowboy, Scaga and Coach. As a result of the catastrophic game, Urban Cowboy was the only one of the four that won their conference. Also in Week6, Dog games only yielded 15.5 in Week6, compared to 154 last week. This week was also shitty for Power 5-stackers as Carolina Fire Ants, Mile High and Drunken Sailor all lost their lock of the year.

On the flip side of the Power 5-stack, Team Wigley wins 60 total points on her beloved Sooners and reclaims her conference crown on Planet Weis. After two weeks out of the Top 10, she heated up like the Oven of the past and jumped to #2 in the League. Former-champ Scaga got mormoned out of a perfecto and conference bonus, but still jumped five spots to #21. iBlink dropped a spot to #8 after a 14 as Deeds spiraled down eight more spots to #28. The Deeds average is now 14 points since breaking his “30 straight weeks not in the top ten” streak. His new streak looks solid at three.

The Shapiro All-Stars kept three representatives in the Top 10, but it’s not because of good play. Hammes faltered with a 0 for 6 to drop him from #3 to #9. Schematic Advantage dropped one in the overall standings to #5, but took over control of the conference with the 3-stack winner on LSU. Mentally Dernarded went 1 for 6 and posted a 7, but still rounds out the talent-stacked Top 10. The All-Stars bonus got split between #11 Air Raid and inconsistent veteran, #31 Wilson.

In the Testeverde Ten, Jamie O’Hare moved up one to #4 after his 24. Seminole26 went 4 for 5 in his Power Week and snagged the conference bonus, which moved the veteran from #34 to #15. La Maquina dropped two spots to #16.

The Wuerffel is still led by League leader Hack Attack, but his overall lead got cut down to 20 as TP3 posted a 34. Multi-Champion Urban Cowboy, aka Senor Liquid Sex, started his inevitable climb to the top with a 34, and moved up ten slots to #20. Barndawg continued his bad behavior with another parlay and his zero sent him from #9 to #19.

TP3 maintained control of the Heart Division and only dropped one spot to #3. The conference average was just over 15 and Michigan Hates U secured the bonus with his 31, which moved him up nine spots to #22. The Well Hungarians scrounged together a 17 and were lucky to only fall one spot to #7. Juice also scored 17 but he dropped two to #13. Head followed last week’s 7 with a zero and ended up at #48, just on top of Mile High and 28 points ahead of Mr. Kasey Johnson.

Below are some of the games that had an impact in Week6.

LSU +107
Oklahoma +106
ASU +68
BYU (tie) +54
Oregon over (-158)
VTech (-78)
Nebraska (-45)

This next week we’re back in actual conferences. Kind of. It’s MAC Week.

A quick recap on Power Weeks: Once this season, you can pick a Power Week, where all 5 games (not dog game) are within your power conference and worth 10 points each. As you saw this week, you can 5-stack.

Holle with questions.

MR KASEY JOHNSON STILL IN LAST PLACE

Once again, the last games of the day had a major impact on the League landscape. Stanford punched one in with 2 minutes left in the late game to score the League 85 points, MTSU came back to rob O-H-I-O! of a 21point moneyline, and Fresno St shit the bed to turn the faucet off on Frank the Tank. Week5 had 154 Dog points, with 100 points coming from Auburn and Clemson. CUSA gave the League fits and only 45% won their conference game. The 10-pointer proved to carry more weight as 74% won their Power Game. The average this week was the same as last week, at 24.5. Parlays went 0 for 4 while stacks were more successful, especially if it was on Alabama, who scored the League a week-high 134 points. Betting against the Lobos continued to pay off, but for reason, only 28 points worth.

In The Wuerffel, Hack Attack defended his position and holds the top spot in the League by four points. Barndawg went downward to #9, and #10 TP3 rose six spots to round out the heavy hitters in the respectable conference. Mamacita made the most out of her two CUSA 10-point games and went from #30 to #22. If the weather plays a role, Mamacita will play a role.

On Planet Weis, iBlink holds the lead but drops four spots overall with his mediocre 24. Luckily for him, Wigley was in the same boat and spends her second week out of the top ten. In completely unrelated news, her estranged ex-boyfriend lets loose with a 17 and storms up one spot to #44. For those tracking the Deeds collapse, he drops out of the teens to a better fitting #20.

The top-heavy Shapiro All-Stars had another monster week. #4 Hammes pulled ahead of #5 Schematic Advantage by three. Mentally Denarded finally rode the Wolverines and went 4 for 5 in his Power Week to climb up to #8. There’s a new contender in the All-Stars too, as C’mon Rookie bagged Week5’s only perfecto to jump 26 spots up to #15. After his 43, Wilson went 0 for 6 and dropped the week’s only zero to drop from #19 to #36. How fragile it is.

In Urban’s Heart Division, NxtLvl lives up to the name and jumps #6 The Well Hungarians for the conference lead. NxtLvl moves up to #2 in the League and only trails Hack Attack by four. The Juice goes rotten and hits only two Power games and finds himself out of the top ten. 505Chicarito holds ground at #17 and is only one big week away from being taken seriously.

In the Testeverde Ten, Jamie O’Hare shoots from #15 to #5 thanks in part to his 4stack on Bama. After O’Hare, La Maquina, Brown Eye and Coach linger around in the high 20’s and early 30’s. That's all I have to say about Testeverde related things.

This next week is Independents Week. That means pick from BYU, Navy, Army or Notre Dame. Try and contain yourselves.

Holler with questions.
