RhinoVision - Week #15

This game comes to us with little history being the rookie has gone places few have ventured. But I guess it's appropriate that he's playing the Duo as they were the first Johnny come lately, upstart to go to the promised land. (The Hemo Goblins being the other.) The brief history is that the Duo thumped Nellie 110-75 back in week #10 in the middle of Nellies 5 game slide. So what do we have that might make that different this week? Bad coaching perhaps? Last week the Duo dodged a serious bullet when they started Larry Johnson at running back. But in a major shootout game, Johnson ran for an astounding 104 yards on only 7 carries! And two of those went for long TD's! Blind luck can really save your ass sometimes.

Nellie bounced back at just the right time to save their season. And last week they were right with the Duo when it came to performance. But I just don't see any way this team has any significant chance unless Duo has one of their worst games this season...

The Rhino says...Dynamic Duo win by +7.

Now this is a game with history! Back in week #7 the Chairs dismembered the Parts 102-61. That bodes well for them. But playoff history certainly doesn't: 1997, Parts 61 FLC 12; 2001, Parts 90, FLC 49; 2002, Parts 84, FLC 51. Ouch! That's 235-112 in three games. But these teams over the course of this season have been pretty even overall. This week I really don't think they are even though. The scheduling gods have clearly tipped this game in favor of the Fighting Lounge Chairs going to their first Cross-Dressed Championship!

The Rhino says...Fighting Lounge Chairs win by +3.
