Game of the Week: For Jack's Rabbits and The Freak Show, this year started off the same way it ended last year. However, this time, The Freak Show were glad to beat the Rabbits, winning by a touchdown, 59 to 53, in a game that came down to the Monday Night contest. An L.J. Smith touchdown would've been good for seven and the win, but it was not to be. The Rabbits could've also got seven from Javon Walker. However, not only did The Rabbits lose their season opener, but they lost their First Round Draft Pick, in Walker, after Walker went down for the season with a torn ACL. The Curse of Jack's Rabbits continues, much to the chagrin of Cheeseheads everywhere!

Blowout of the Week: The last game The Mud City Manglers played in was against the eventual Champion, Hell's Minions and it was definitely payback time, as The Manglers decimated Hell's Minions by a score of 74 to 41. Even the PERFECT line-up from The Minions would've still left them short by two, thanks to solid peformances from Deion Branch and Buffalo's defense - the first two picks by The Manglers in this year's draft.

Other Action: The Mighty Mad Bombers hadn't lost since Week 11 of last year and weren't about to start this week, as they beat The Goof Troop 65 to 54. Not only did The Bombers' first round draft pick, Marc Bulger, pay dividends, but their sixth round pick stole the show. More on him later. Meanwhile, it was The Mojave Greens beating The Bloom County Marauders in another game that came down to The Monday Night contest, but T.O. and The Philly Defense didn't give Bloom County enough to overcome the deficit they faced after Sunday's games. Bloom County benched Brian Westbrook, who outscored Dominack Davis by 12 - 13 to 1 - and wouldn't you know it, The Greens beat Bloom County by 12, 59 to 47.

Studs: The STUDS look even STUDLIER when up against The DUDS, as was the case in The Mud City Manglers' steamroll over Hell's Minions. Whereas Branch, Holt and Buffalo each scored in the double digits, nobody in their line-up had a superb week, just good weeks. The same can't be said of Larry Fitzgerald of The Bombers, their Sixth Round pick, who won the individual STUD honors, putting up 24 points, going 13 for 155 and a touchdown.

Duds: Hell's Minions. They're your defending Champions, so don't write them off just yet, despite only scoring 41. In fact, let's not forget that Hell's Minions did more than lose their first game last year, but also lost four of their first five last year, only to go on to win it all.

Game of the Week:54 to 54. It doesn't get any closer than that. That was the final score between The Freak Show and The Mud City Manglers. With total bench points being the tie breaker, The Mud City Manglers overcame three non-starters on their bench having zero, only because three of their non-starters earned negative point totals. 25 to 21 was the final bench score.

Blowout of the Week: After only scoring 41 points last week, Hell's Minions improved, putting up 45 this week. However, it was going to take a lot more improvement than that to beat this week's STUD team, Jack's Rabbits, who put up 99 points. The Rabbits started Philly's Donavan McNabb and L.J. Smith and since Philly beat San Francisco 42 to 3, it was no surprise to see McNabb and L.J. team up for 37 points just between the two of them - 20 and 17 points respectively. Again, even The Best Minions line-up was not going to be good enough for the win.

Other Action: Speaking of Philly giving fantasy teams big weeks, chalk up 93 points for The Bloom County Marauders in their win over The Goof Troop, who only scored 63. Bloom County's Philly contingent of Brian Westbrook, Terrell Owens and Philly's Defense gave The Marauders 10, 19 and 18, respectively, for a total of 47, more than half of their points. Meanwhile, it was The Bombers continuing their winning ways against The Mojave Greens, by a score of 68 to 42.

Studs: Jack's Rabbits took home this honor, scoring 99 points as a team. That's two weeks in a row that Hell's Minions has lost to the STUD team. Could The Mighty Mad Bombers be next to triumph over The Minions as STUDS next week? Only time will tell. Individual STUD honors goes to the unsigned Chicago defense who scored 27 this week. What? Nobody has Da Bears?!? Go figure.

Duds: Edging out The Minions of this honor by 3, is The Mojave Greens who only scored 42 against a team that hasn't lost since Week 11 of last season, The Mighty Mad Bombers.

Game of the Week: The winless Defending Champions, Hell's Minions earned their first W of the season, by defeating The Mighty Mad Bombers, a team that had gone unbeaten since Week 11 of last year. The Minions won by less than a touchdown, 63 to 58. To the credit of The Mighty Mad Bombers, though, they played their best possible line-up. It just wasn't enough. The Minions taste victory and The Bombers taste defeat and somehow move into first place in doing so. Go figure.

Blowout of the Week: The Freak Show lost to the bench tiebreaker last week against The Mud City Manglers. Talk about going from one extreme to the other! THIS WEEK, it was The Bloom County Mauraders more than DOUBLING The Freak Show's total, steamrolling over them 122 to 60. It's not too often you bench two guys who go double digits and even win, let alone scoring 122 points without them, but The Mauraders did just that, benching Brian Westbrook and his 20 points and Tim Rattay and his 10 points. Okay, so Rattay would've only outdone The Maurader's Carson Palmer by one, but still - The Mauraders could have scored 144 points this week. Having both Shaun Alexander and Steve Smith both in your starting line-up, teaming up for SEVEN touchdowns between the two of them should've been illegal.

Other Action: Meanwhile, it was The Mojave Greens handing Jack's Rabbits their second straight loss 80 to 63 as The Rabbits' curse ended the season of New England Defense's Rodney Harrison. Low and behold, it was The Goof Troop hanging tough on Monday Night to fend off The Mud City Manglers 82 to 68 to give The Manglers their first loss. Thus, after three weeks, everybody's lost at least once and everybody's won at least once.

Studs: The Bloom County Mauraders and their 122 points. Duh. We mentioned Steve Smith already - who had 170 yards receiving off of eleven receptions - three of which were touchdowns and a fumble for 35 points. Matching that total was LaDanian Tomlinson of San Diego, scoring 35 for The Goof Troop, racking up 192 rushing yards, fumbling once, making six receptions, but more important running for three touchdowns and THROWING a fourth one for good measure!

Duds: Playing their best line-up possible, The Mighty Mad Bombers and their 58 points earned Duds honors this week. However, four other teams were within ten points of that total and three of them were less than a touchdown away from that number.

Game of the Week: Two games tied for game of this week, as both The Mojave Greens and Hell's Minions put up their second straight wins. The Greens did so at the expense of The Mud City Manglers, who dropped their second straight, by a score of 74-61. In a higher scoring game, it was The Minions keeping Bloom County in the middle of the pack, within their immediate reach by a score of 82 to 69. The Greens saw Peyton Manning return to form - although his brother, Eli, would've scored the same 15 points for them. Speaking of Eli, it was Eli connecting with Plaxico Burress of Hell's Minions enough to give Burress 32 fantasy points on the day! More on Plaxico below.

Blowout of the Week: Last week, The Mighty Mad Bombers had a winning streak that dated back to Week 11 of last year snapped by Hell's Minions. Consider it a wake-up call, because THIS WEEK The Bombers bounced back with a vengeance, steamrolling over The Freak Show, who dropped their third straight to The Bombers, 98 to 30 (the lowest point total this season of any team). No Freak Show player scored more than six, whereas The Bombers saw Marvin Harrison return to form and also got double-digit performances from Larry Fitzgerald, Marc Bulger and Tiki Barber.

Other Action: Ending the seasons of Javon Walker and Rodney Harrison apparently isn't enough for Jack's Rabbits, who seem bound and determined to nail the coffin on THEIR season as well, dropping their third straight, this time losing to The Goof Troop 86 to 60. The Rabbits scored twice as much as The Freak Show, but that's the only team they could've beat this week. The Goof Troop saw their Baltimore Defense return to form, whereas The Rabbits saw their New England defense put up a score of -4! The Rabbits had the potential to win, starting by playing the 49'ers defense instead. Go figure.

Studs: The Bombers went from Duds last week to Studs this week, after losing their first game since Week 11 of last year, posting 98 points on the day. Individual honors go to Plaxico Burress who had a career day going 10 for 204, with two touchdowns.

Duds: Earning DUDS honors with only 30 points, The Freak Show had salt rubbed in the wound, playing the STUDS winner, The Mighty Mad Bombers who posted 98.

Game of the Week: Both coming in with a record of 2-2, Hell's Minions and The Goof Troop had a game so close, it was decided by 5 points, 57 to 52. That's less than a touchdown! Whereas most of The Minions players had average games, The Goof Troop triumphed after having four double-digit performances make up for their other five performances of four points or less.

Blowouts of the Week: Only the before-mentioned game was not a blowout. The other three were decided by 25 or 26 points. The two 26 point match-ups were as follows: The Bloom County Marauders over Jack's Rabbits 75 to 49 and The Mighty Mad Bombers over The Mud City Manglers 92 to 66, as both The Rabbits and The Manglers each dropped their third straight. The Bombers finally gained a full game of separtion from the next best team in the league, whereas The Rabbits suffered another terrible loss with the season-ending injury to Deuce McAllister. The Rabbits also appear to have lost Darrell Jackson until at least Week Ten. The curse of Jack's Rabbits continues.

Other Action: The other game of the week was a 25 point defeat of The Mojave Greens at the hands of The Freak Show. Despite the loss, The Mojave Greens remained in second place in the standings.

Studs: Six of the Mighty Mad Bombers starters scored in the Double Digits giving The Bombers their second straight STUDS honors, after their 92 point performance. Meanwhile, the unsigned Green Bay Packers Defense annihilated The Saints offense scoring 33 fantasy points.

Duds: Jack's Rabbits with 49 points and two major injuries! Ouch!

Game of the Week: The Bloom County Marauders beat The Mud City Manglers 85 to 79 in a game that came down to the Monday Night Game. Another touchdown by Edgerrin James or even a first touchdown by Torry "Big Game" Holt would've been enough to give The Manglers the win, but alas Edgerrin only scored three touchdowns for 143 yards, leaving The Manglers wondering what they have to do to win, now having lost four in a row.

Blowout of the Week: Whereas both teams had players heading into the Monday Night Game, nothing short of a miracle was going to help The Mojave Greens from losing to Hell's Minions. It was The Minions stopping Peyton Manning and The Mojave Greens by a score of 90 to 49 - a 41 point difference and that was with Peyton actually putting up decent numbers for the first time this season! It didn't help matters much that Indy - despite giving up only 29 total points in the first five games, gave up 28 to The Martz-less Rams on Monday Night. More on the Minions below.

Other Action: An honorable mention in the Game of the Week category goes to the match-up between The Mighty Mad Bombers and Jack's Rabbits, as The Bombers made it 9 out of their last ten, with a 64 to 56 win, despite losing Marc Bulger early in the game. The Rabbits, like The Manglers, lost their fourth in a row. Luckily, one of those two teams figures to break their losing streak next week when the two teams meet, which, of course, sadly means that one of those two teams will drop their fifth straight. Another honorable mention - but this time in the Blowout of the Week category - goes to The Goof Troop's 39 point decimation of the Freak Show, 83 to 44.

Studs: With 90 points, it's the defending Champions, Hell's Minions, rebounding strong, boasting TD's from six of their nine starters. However, it was Santana Moss' 29 fantasy points off of 10 receptions for 173 yards and two touchdowns that helped The Goof Troop put up big numbers this week, as well.

Duds: Even without Santana Moss scoring big against them, The Freak Show's 44 points still wouldn't have been enough to beat The Goof Troop.

Game of the Week: Though it wasn't exactly a high scoring game, The Bloom County Marauders win over The Mighty Mad Bombers was easily The Game of the Week, as it saw a changing of the guard between the two top teams this season, with Bloom County winning 53 to 51. It made it two out of the last three in the loss column for the previously unstoppable Bombers. The Bombers started Trent Dilfer in place of the injured Marc Bulger, in a move that cost The Bombers not only three points with Dilfers -3 total, but the game this week, since they only lost by two. Playing Bulger for 0 would have got them the win.

Blowout of the Week: Two teams heading in different directions met this week, in a game where one team - The Minions - had no choice but to start an inactive defense, while the other team - The Freak Show - had no choice but to start an inactive kicker. Ultimately, it was Hell's Minions defeating The Freak Show 59 to 35. While The Minions won their Second Straight, moving them just one spot out of the Top Four, it was The Freak Show's second straight loss, moving them just one spot out of last place, above the struggling Jack's Rabbits team.

Other Action: SPEAKING of that struggling Jack's Rabbits team, it was two 0 out of their last 4 teams meeting head-to-head, as The Rabbits and The Mud City Manglers met in a game where somebody had to give and gave in did Jack's Rabbits with a 61 to 43 score loss to The Manglers, who, like The Greens, started an inactive wide receiver. With their fifth straight loss, The Rabbits ended up going 1-6 in the first half, forcing them to go 6-1 in the final seven just to end up a .500 football team. Meanwhile, with seven big games left to go, The Manglers, somehow, find themselves just one game out of a playoff spot. In other action, despite starting an inactive wide receiver, it was The Mojave Greens with a 77 to 58 victory over The Goof Troop, who bumped The Minions out of the top four again, despite the win by The Minions, leaving The Greens just one spot in the standings behind The Goof Troop.

Studs: Despite snatching STUDS honors with just 77 points, the second lowest point total of STUDS winners this season, The Mojave Greens outdid everybody else this week - most importantly their opponents - The Goof Troop. Helping The Greens do so was The individual STUD winner, Lamont Jordan, who scored 24 fantasy points for The Greens from four receptions, 122 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.

Duds: Currently the owner of the least amount of points on the season, The Freak Show scored the lowest point total (35) of the week. To make matters worse, The Freak Show have the most points scored against them, as well, making them pretty lucky to be 2-5.

Game of the Week: In an acquistion that could end up costing The Greens their season or even earning Bloom County a Playoff Spot, The Bloom County Marauders, who weren't content enough to have won their last three in a row, dropped Randy McMichael for Heath Miller and in a come-from-behind win, Heath Miller scored 15 to McMichael's 3, helping Bloom County squeak past The Mojave Greens 97 to 96 - Cali. College Football style - to win their fourth straight game. One might argue that Willie Parker's two points was the difference in the game, but without dropping McMichael for Miller, Willie's two points wouldn't have mattered.

Blowout of the Week: Defeating The Bombers by 40 points, handing the Bombers their third loss in four games and their second straight, was The Goof Troop, who also took over their Second Place spot, with their convincing 68 to 28 win.

Other Action: In a must-win game for The Rabbits, it was Jack's Rabbits sharing an inspirational win, not unlike Tedy Bruschi's, defeating the also-struggling Freak Show 64 to 33, to snap The Rabbits' five game losing streak and keep any hope of a playoff appearance alive. Elsewhere, it was Hell's Minions winning their third straight, defeating The Mud City Manglers 71 to 53 and sending The Manglers back to the drawing board.

Studs: Give honorable mention to The Mojave Greens and their 96 points, but it was The Bloom County Marauders, who won this honor, scoring one point more than the Greens this week. As mentioned earlier, Heath Miller went double digits for Bloom County, but so did five of their other starters, including this year's top fantasy scorer and the steal of the draft, Steve Smith who scored 27 fantasy points from 11 receptions for 201 yards and a touchdown - a feat somehow not even good enough to win him individual STUD honors this week Of little consolation to the losing Greens, no doubt, is the fact that their superstar tight end, Antonio Gates, was this week's individual stud, scoring 30 points off of three touchdown receptions, along with 7 other receptions and 145 yards receiving on the day. It's of little surprise that the two top scorers this week, came out of the two teams that stockpiled points this week as if needing to stock up for the winter.

Duds: Sinking to a season-low DUDS total of 28 points was the struggling Mighty Mad Bombers team, who only had three on their roster hit double digits this week and they were all benched. At least Dilfer's two points were in the positive.

Game of the Week: The winner of the contest between The Mighty Mad Bombers and The Mojave Greens was going to move into one of the coveted top four spots in the standings, whereas the loser would be bumped into the second half of the pack. It was a big game and it showed in close it was, as The Bombers, despite an awesome performance from Marvin Harrison, felt short to The Mojave Greens (who had Peyton Manning), 68 to 66.

Blowout of the Week: Jack's Rabbits failed to make a move this week to fill in for the injured duo of Anquan Boldin and Darrell Jackson, and with Keyshawn Johnson on bye this week, The Rabbits were left with only two starting wide receivers who actually played. However, it wouldn't end up mattering, as no free agent Wide Receiver would've given The Rabbits a chance after a superstar performance on Monday Night from Hell's Minions' own Reggie Wayne, who The Rabbits traded to The Minions last year. Winning their fourth game in a row and moving into a three way tie for first, it was Hell's Minions trouncing Jack's Rabbits 75 to 47, as The Rabbits lose again.

Other Action: The Goof Troop defeated The Bloom County Marauders 75 to 64. Granted, it wasn't the Game of the Week, nor The Blowout of the Week, but Terrell Owens was suspended at the worst possible time, as The Bloom County Marauders had to go without T.O. in a week where The Goof Troop's own - LaDanian Tomlinson - scored FOUR touchdowns! T.O. has since been suspended for the rest of the season and instead of leading the pack, Bloom County now must share a three way tie for first with The Goof Troop and Hell's Minions. Also, in a must-win game for The Mud City Manglers they beat up on The Freak Show 63 to 53, handing The Freak Show their fourth consecutive loss.

Studs: Tying for STUDS honors this week are Hell's Minions and The Goof Troop who both scored 75 points a piece this week. These two teams are now also tied for First Place with The Bloom County Marauders. Scoring 29 of The Goof Troop's 75 was L.T., who scored 29 points off of three receptions, 104 rushing yards and FOUR rushing touchdowns, earning L.T. the Individual Stud Honors for the week.

Duds: Jack's Rabbits scored 47 points to earn the title of Duds for the week. No surprise there. However, for the first time ever - an Individual Dud Honor goes out this week - to who else, but Terrell Owens?!

Games of the Week: Though not exactly a high-scoring game, the contest between The Mojave Greens and Jack's Rabbits was a close one. Each team had something to prove. The Greens, came into Week 10 in the fourth and final playoff position, with both The Bombers and Manglers on their tail. The Rabbits, meanwhile, needed a win to keep their bleak playoff hopes alive. Down by 21, The Rabbits went into the Monday Night between Dallas and Philadelphia with hope, still having four players. When it was all said and done though, the quartet came up short, only scoring 19 between them. The Rabbits made only one move short of their potential, but it was a costly one. Losing to The Greens 54 to 52, The Rabbits started Baltimore's defense who put up a goose egg, whereas they could've started New England's defense for three points and the win.

Blowout of the Week: Two games deserved Blowout of the Week honors this week. The first game saw The Freak Show surprise everybody by posting 102 points against the always dangerous Marauders, who would've beat every other team EXCEPT FOR The Freak Show, but unfortunately for Bloom County, that's who they played and even starting Brian Westbrook on Monday instead of benching him wouldn't have made the difference. Meanwhile, it was The Mighty Mad Bombers posting 74 points on the first place Minions, defeating them 74 to 52. The Minions 52 point total matched that of the Rabbits for lowest of the week. Whereas Drew Bledsoe didn't do all that great by scoring only 2 for The Minions on Monday Night, asking for 23 from him against his arch rivals proved to be out of reach.

Other Action: Meanwhile, it was The Mud City Manglers, keeping pace with both The Bombers and The Greens this week by defeating The Goof Troop in a close 80 to 74 game.

Game of the Week: In a game that put The Mud City Manglers right back in the thick of things, it was The Manglers outscoring The Mojave Greens 71 to 68. The Manglers went to the Monday Night Game between The Vikings and The Packers with a 20 point lead, but Donald Driver came up just short for The Greens by only scoring 18 and to add insult to injury, the man who took Priest Holmes' spot on the roster, Sam Gado, added another point to The Manglers total points count.

Blowout of the Week: The Freak Show officially were knocked out of the Championship Playoffs by The Mighty Mad Bombers in a 43 point blowout loss, as The Mighty Mad Bombers doubled up on The Freak Show 86 to 43. On the heels of outscoring the league with 102 points last week, The Freak Show returned to form, putting up the league low this week. Also returning to mortality this week were Roy Williams and The Carolina Defense, who - at five points a piece - could have only combined to join Tom Brady as the sole Freak Show starter to hit double digits this week.

Other Action: In another big loss, it was Bloom County outscoring Hell's Minions 99 to 59 and taking First Place away from The Minions and reclaiming the top spot as their own. Meanwhile, Jack's Rabbits joined The Freak Show by being officially eliminated this week, despite winning against The Goof Troop 94 to 81. The Rabbits would've no doubt rather lost this week if they could have still been in it, like The Goof Troop are, clutching on to that #3 spot.

Studs: Not willing to settle for runner-up like they did last week, Bloom County took over first place in a big way by scoring 99 points, just barely missing the century mark. Jack's Rabbits scored 94 in a futile second place effort, thanks to one of the two Individual Studs coming from his team. Larry "Priest Who?" Johnson racked up 24 fantasy points with 211 rushing yards, 2 rushing touchdowns and a reception for good measure. Denver's defense cancelled out those 24 points The Rabbits scored against The Goof Troop, though, as The Goof Troop's Denver Defense posted a shutout with two interceptions, three fumble recoveries and four sacks.

Duds: As mentioned above, The Freak Show fell to the Toilet Bowl bracket and fell hard, scoring only 43 points.

Game of the Week: Hell's Minions handed The Goof Troop their third straight loss thanks to a five point victory this week, 84 to 79. Hines Ward and Reggie Wayne, who scored 9 and 5 points respectively, teamed up for 14 points and seeing The Minions to a much needed come from behind win.

Blowouts of the Week: Not surprisingly, it was the #1 and #2 teams not only beating the #7 and #6 teams respectively, but blowing them out of the water in a pair of games that were both decided by 28 a piece. The Rabbits had the potential to beat Bloom County but failed to put together the perfect line-up needed to edge past The Marauders, instead falling to the division leaders 82 to 54. Meanwhile, in a game The Manglers desparately needed to win, The Manglers fell way short against The Mighty Mad Bombers 88 to 60. The Manglers went into the Monday Night Game down by 18 but Marvin Harrison gave The Bombers twelve more points, whereas Edgerrin James only gave The Manglers two more.

Other Action: Down by three heading into The Monday Night Game, the Greens pulled out their big guns - Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Defense - helping The Mojave Greens get back on the right track with a win against the already-eliminated Freak Show 74 to 60. The Greens were sure to thank the scheduling gods for helping them to hang on to the fourth and final playoff spot.

Studs: 88 Points was good enough to give The Mighty Mad Bombers STUD honors this week and it was LT giving The Goof Troop at least a chance against The Minions this week. Though the Goof Troop ultimately lost, it wasn't LaDanian Tomlinson's fault. All L.T. did was score 32 points from 184 yards, 6 receptions and 4 touchdowns!

Duds: Whereas Aaron Brooks held his own for the second straight week in Donavan McNabb's absence, it still wasn't enough to help Jack's Rabbits score any more than 54 points - the league's low for the week.

Game of the Week: As if TRYING to not make The Championship playoff bracket, The Goof Troop dropped their fourth straight game to the last place Freak Show, losing by only one, 53 to 52.

Blowout of the Week: The scheduling Gods were anything but kind to The Mud City Manglers, putting them up against the top two teams in the league in two of the last three weeks of the season in games that The Manglers desparately needly to win. Whereas The Manglers get the injury-stifled Rabbits to round up the regular season, they were all but officially eliminated this week, losing to Bloom County 99 to 47. Mud City must now be in Bloom County, because Bloom County ate Mud City alive and assured themselves a spot in The Championship Playoffs!

Other Action: Unlike The Manglers, Hell's Minions won the games they needed to over the last two weeks and as a result clinched a Championship Playoff berth, by defeating The Mojave Greens in a game both teams needed to win, 77 to 72. It marks the second straight week of winning by five for The Minions, where one more touchdown by either one of their opponents would have resulted in losses and not wins. Meanwhile, despite being on the losing end of 67 to 51 defeat to Jack's Rabbits, The Mighty Mad Bombers clinched a Championship playoff berth for the second time in two years, since taking over for The Cantebury Turtles.

Studs: For the second time in three weeks, it was The Bloom County Marauders taking home the STUDS honors, falling just short of the century mark again - with 99 points. Whereas Chris Chambers earned exactly one third of Bloom County's 99 points with 33, it was the undrafted Seattle Defense destroying Philadelphia in a shutout that was good for 43 fantasy points.

Duds: Tying for runner-up last week, The Mud City Manglers brought in little enough points to earn this dubious honor by only scoring 47 this week. Two poor weeks for The Manglers that hit at the worst possible time.

Game of the Week: The hottest team heading into The Championship Playoffs are Hell's Minions, who, for the third straight week, won by less than a touchdown, defeated The Freak Show by four - 73 to 69 - giving them their third straight win. Then again, barely defeating the last place Freak Show isn't something to write home about. Both teams must've been resting their guys for their respective playoffs.

Blowout of the Week: In a statement game, the second seed Mighty Mad Bombers gave a solid beating to the number one seed Bloom County Marauders, 71 to 55, putting them on notice, should the two teams meet again in the Championship Game.

Other Action: In the game that mattered most this week, it was The Goof Troop coming back from a 11 point deficit thanks to Michael Vick and Warrick Dunn, to defeat The Mojave Greens by eight, 67 to 59, knocking The Greens not only out of the #4 spot, but also knocking them out of the Championship Playoffs. Meanwhile, in a case of too little, too late, it was The Mud City Manglers, defeating Jack's Rabbits, as expected, 82 to 70. The win couldn't save them from joining The Rabbits in the Toilet Bowl playoffs, though, so the two teams will play again in Week 15 - with the winner moving on to fight for first pick next year.

Studs: Whereas the Mud City Manglers' 82 point performance in Week 14 was better than that of any other team, The Manglers needed 61 points for a total of 143 to earn a trip to The Championship Playoffs. Short of having a near all star team this week, The Manglers didn't stand much of a chance at all. Speaking of too little too late, it was Larry Johnson with 23 points for Jack's Rabbits off of 143 rushing yards, 3 rushing touchdowns and 3 receptions for good measure.

Duds: For the first time all season, it was the division winning Bloom County Marauders taking home DUDS honors by scoring only 55 points. Granted, that's pretty high for Duds honors (second highest all year), but that's still not the way you want to head into the Championship Playoffs.
