RhinoVision - Week #09

THRAK: 2000 Cross-Dressed Champions. THRAK: 2001 Basement Dweller. The wheels were shaking coming out of the gate and the injuries to the running game started the skid. Not the insult comes as Terrell Davis comes back to supplant Mike Anderson before Fred Taylor heals. This team is headed from the high of highs to the low of lows this season. Meanwhile back in Destroyerville Lil' Larry has crawled up from the deep with a tie and then a win. The little engine that could, does it again...

The Rhino says...Destroyers win by +4.

I don't see any reason that the fortunes of these two teams is going to suddenly change. The Elephant are simply out classed here...

The Rhino says...Invaders win by +6.

After a slow start the Chairs have managed to string 3 wins together and currently trail by only one game in the Southwest Division. The TigerSharks meanwhile are playing the role of "also ran" to the real battle in the Southwest (see below.) One of these teams is going to come away above .500 while the other sinks below. I'm sure this is of personal significants to each of them, but in the big picture it will likely make no difference. The numbers say Sharks, but the Rhino say upset...

The Rhino says...Fighting Lounge Chairs win by +2.

No doubt this it the game of games thus far this season. And the NFL scheduling gods aren't even going to screw it up with a team on a bye! All the "players" will be here. This game is going to be hard fought and tough to call. The Rhino said before that the Parts were at the end of the line, but he's not a big fan of the Guns either. Can you do me a favor and both lose? Or worse yet: TIE! That would be nice. Something to stir even more bad blood. I've looked at the schedule and all of the ramifications of this game. I guess it's an upset because the Parts are on a tear, but the Guns are no slouch of a team. Besides, this is just fuel for the Southeast Division title game down the line...

The Rhino says...Young Guns win by +1.

The Duo have done an adroit job of working the waiver wire to snag quality backup talent when the big names have gotten nasty boo-boos. A very un-PUNK-ASS Rookie ability to say the least.

The Beavers have struggled a bit of late, narrowly escaping embarrassment by SQUONK last week. But even so, they have rolled along to a 7-1 mark. The Rhino bagged on the Duo early in the year and in the past couple of weeks has spoke highly of them. But this week you will be learned in the ways of a wily veteran...

The Rhino says...Eager Beavers win by +5.

SOOOOOWHEEEEEE!!! What the hell is that nasty ass smell? Oh, just the basement rot meeting the new basement rot, that's all! The Riders have somehow managed to roll out to the top of the Northeast while SQUONK exploded on the scene only to fade into the twilight. I've just realized I've been far to nice the the Riders. They had a good season last year and are doing well now, but you can get the visions of Joe Barbie out of your head becaus e you may not even make it out of your division! That warm feeling you have is simply the Duo breathing down your neck! SQUONK ends their suffering this week by showing the Riders that they are still among the white trash of the league!

The Rhino says...SQUONK win by +2.
