RhinoVision - Week #09

This is probably one of the best games of the season. Definately the one that counts the most this week. Could this be a preview of this year's Cross-Dressed Championship? These teams are basically even with the Elephants dropping a half game off due to their tie a few weeks back. But in return they have a 1-pt edge in point per game. Both have a 2 game winning streak going. Both have had fun beating up on the South Division with a combined 9-0 record. So how do you pick a game like this? Well you look at the standings, you look at the numbers and you find you answer. But the numbers are pretty close when you start weighing them against one another. And then you look at the bye week situation...then you just sort of toss a coin and go on gut instinct! The Elephants have to switch QB's this week and the Guns lose Anderson/Davis and Rod Smith. But they have some good depth that the schedule favors...

The Rhino says...Young Guns win by +4.

A tale of two teams struggling. One should be winning and isn't, the other shouldn't be winning and is. It's frustrating for one and agony for the other. Not a lot to discuss here. This week the chips fall as they logically should...

The Rhino says...Eager Beavers win by +8.

And here's two teams that have started to slip. Is this the beginning of the tumble down the back stretch for one or both of these teams? Like the Eager Beavers, SQUONK is finding out what life is like when you have five very competitive teams in your division. It's not your father's Oldsmobile (thank God!) and this isn't his North Division either. This is F1 baby! And the Hacker are spinning towards the wall now that Eddie George is banged up. It probably wouldn't change the outcome, only the final score. SQUONK can breathe a big "Wooden Al" (Gore dumb shits) sigh of relief as they keep the pressure on the Rough Riders...

The Rhino says...SQUONK win by +5.

More disarray. The Chairs are starting to live up to their "even year whoa" and THRAK is beginning to look like the average team they usually are. Both are putting up good points, but seem to just fall short at the wrong times. THRAK want to contend for the division title, but the Guns at 5-0 in the division make that highly improbable. They would need to go on a tear while the Guns stumble. And that doesn't appear to be on the horizon. The Chair meanwhile are busy tring to figure out how they are going to get past the Invaders -a lesser team, but one with a better divisional record. And the law of averages says: "If you're average, you lose slag."

The Rhino says...THRAK win by +5.

There's NOBODY who as ridden the perennial Prom Queen more often and harder than the Parts. A whopping 6-0 against them. OUCH, that's gotta hurt. And nobody beyond the Part's office finds this kind of fodder more humorous that the King of the Savannah himself. I've enjoyed many hours of bagging on the Riders, but once again they have raised their weary heads. And this season they finally are emphatically saying "NO", not this time! The Rhino started to give the Riders their props last week, as he should have. And this week the rapist, becomes the rapee. The Parts better hope their running game can get them out of Dodge fast, but I don't see it. So "Prepare to meet thy God" farm boy. The Prom Queen's wearing a strap on and you get to be the wife!

The Rhino says...Rough Riders win by +12.
