Week #8 Battle of Titians

Okay maybe calling this match-up the battle of the titans is a bit too much hype. But the Week #8 meeting between the Philly Hitmen (6-1) and Rando's Razors could be a post season preview. Both teams lead their divisions. Its the second week in a row the Hitmen face a division leader. Last week they suffered their first loss to the PitBulls (a perennial juggernaut).


The Hitmen have a better shot this week, because the Razors are a bit of a paper tiger. The Hitmen are a 1 point favorite, but the Razors are notorious for under achieving. Their 6-1 record is the result of a weak division and some frickin' luck.

Key Match-ups: The Hitmen's QB Drew Brees must shake off jet lag after a flight to London, England for a game against the Chargers. The Razors' Donovan McNabb comes off a BYE week to face the Atlanta Falcons. Uhmm ... Donnie is that Falcon meat in your chunky soup?

Projected Winner: Philly Hitmen

In other match-ups; Romo's Raiders (5-2) vs Jesse's Tap Out (4-3) matches two contenders who trail their division leaders by 1 game. But the Raiders are trying to keep their boat afloat after the loss of Reggie Bush (Bush averaged 15 points per game). The rookie Tap Out is a heavy favorite (+20). But he is a rookie.

The Jonesville Terrapins (1-6) are favored to win their second straight over the Tigers (2-5) who are in a tailspin. The Terps' recent trade for Willis McGahee could be a key to this match-up.
