Laura and Justina Make Awards - Week 5

Whew, that was an interesting weekend, huh?  I can't wait to see the damage it's wreaked on our prediction ratings. This week's awards are written by Laura:

Can't Catch a Break award goes to odoyle rules!

This is how my Sunday night went: "Oh, look! I only need 11 points to beat Tim - I'm going to watch the game." I cheered for every yard Michael Turner gained, after his TD I thought for sure he could gain a few more yards - half a game left!

Half time: cook dinner, eat really fast.
Third quarter: watch in horror as Atlanta's offense stinks and GB gains the lead.
Fourth quarter: cheer wildly as Turner has an eight yard run and puts me ahead, 73.20 - 72.36.

THAT WAS THE SCORE WHEN I WENT TO BED. I did have the thought that a stat correction could change things, but I was just excited to have won a game! Or so I thought. So imagine my surprise when I woke up Monday morning to find that 2 extra points had been given to Tim's defense to put him on top. WHAT IN THE WORLD??

Tuesday morning: It's back to 73.20 - 72.36, all is right in fantasy world.  Yahoo, quit playin'! YAY I WON A GAME

Tim: Man, that stinks. You've lost two in a row, each by less than a point, to myself and Justina. The good news? You aren't playing a girl next week. Hey, maybe your team should start hanging out with mine near the bottom of the power rankings. Then it wouldn't have to fall so far.


U MAD BRO? award goes to JohnKasay#1

  

First off, I think it's great that you were the only one who picked your team to win, against an undefeated Jeff, no less. I apologize for writing your team off and calling them ugly. Congrats! Justina says thanks for making her the only undefeated team in the league.

That being said, you might want to dial down the hate this week...it won't compensate for the ugliness of your team and I don't think it worked well for you in your predictions (2-3) and was it just me or did "and I'm pissed" look scary in that font?

P.S. Ugliness doesn't have to equal nastiness, thank you!


Finally, here is my bomb roommate Terrific Tortoises with a special message:

"To: Eric
From: David Li"

See you next week!

Laura Makes Predictions, Justina Agrees - Week 5

You know the drill, Laura does all the analysis in black, and I add snarky, unhelpful commentary in green.


RelientK (0-4) vs. odoyle rules (2-2)

My team continues its streak... and win or lose, Cam puts up good numbers. But you know what, Tim? I get to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving on Monday AND do it all over again next month too. So I'm the real winner here :)

Winner: odoyle rules | odoyle rules (Sorry Laura!)


Spider Pig (2-2) vs. JUSTINA OWNS (4-0)

Justina will continue her unbeaten streak because she's way prettier than Luke.
OH MY GOSH I'm blushing.  And I agree, suck it Gay-el.

Winner: JUSTINA OWNS | JUSTINA OWNS AGAIN


Rainbow Warriors (4-0) vs. John Kasay#1 (1-3)

No competition here - the hottest team versus the ugliest. I don't think I need to explain.
Agreed.  And this way, Jeffrey can keep me company at the top, WHAT 5-0 HERE WE COME.  Like Hawaii.  Hawaii 5-0.  I did a lot of dissections today, and I think I'm tripping on paraformaldehyde.  By the way, want to hear about what it's like to go to London Fashion Week on acid?  Yeah, you do.

Winner: Rainbow Warriors | Rainbow Warriors



THE Pain Train (1-3) vs. aaronisyourdaddy (2-2)

The Colts are terrible, Andre Johnson is out, and there are 4 potential TEs on Gabs' roster. On the other hand, I'm not so impressed with Aaron's team, BUT maybe Aaron Rodgers will carry his team to victory again... 40 points this time?
I didn't realize Gabs had 4 TEs.  I wonder what he's planning on doing with them... Most likely world domination?  Also, did you guys notice that no teams are 3-1?  What does that mean?? So many questions!

Winner: aaronisyourdaddy | aaronisyourdaddy



Terrific Tortoises (2-2) vs. what's poppin slime (2-2)

Battle of the Davids! I think this will be close. The Tortoises are gonna slow their roll and slime will do better, especially when starting Arian Foster. So that should average around 100 points each. I'm picking David Li because of Drew Brees, CJ and Owen Daniels. Oh and Dwayne Bowe, whoever he is.
I at least agree that it's a close match, and I guess that means I have to support my roommate.  Speaking of whom, did you maybe get my message about Stafford? INCEPTION!

Winner: Terrific Tortoises | Terrific Tortoises
