Although he was officially eliminated from Overlord contention this weekend, Randie's rolling, while my teams are limping to the finish line. I went a shameful 0-4, and Randie wins his fourth straight writeup by virtue of Cleveland's win over A Team That Shall Not Be Named. The Saints are finding creative ways to lose now, not only dropping their second straight game, but doing so AT HOME to the lowly, bagbet-bound Tampa Bay Butt Pirates. Yikes.

What a week in the NFL.  Not only did we both go 2-2, but Randie's bag teams scored a whopping 99 points to my 93.  His masturbation game turned into a shootout that Detroit won on a rare untimed play, and the Jags came back to beat Buffalo in the last minute as well.  Kasnsas City came up with an upset win at home against reeling Pittsburgh, and Washington snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in Big D.

What's up baglovers!

We've got some bet-changing matchups on tap this week .....

Buffalo @ Jacksonville ***** BAG GAME *****

Buffalo fired a guy named Dick and hired a guy named Perry.  Nice job cornholes.

And hey MJD, nice stunt at the end of the game last week.  DON'T EVER FUCKING DO IT AGAIN.


Cleveland @ Detroit ***** BAG GAME ***** 

I'm convinced Cleveland is the worst team in this bet - maybe the worst team in the league.  They stink.

Detroit has come close to a couple of wins.  Randie's playing with himself in a rematch of the 1957 NFL Championship Game, believe it or not.


Dallas @ Washington

Even with Tony Homo, Dallas is playing better in a wide-open division....

....wide-open except for Washington.  How's having that old dude that was out of football calling your plays working out?


New Orleans @ Tampa Bay

10-0 here we come.  Go mole!

The NFC South race was over in week 4.  Just awful.

Both of us went 2-2, but....

Booo!  I narrowly missed my fourth consecutive write-up this week, even though two of my four teams played bye-buy-by. Randie is awarded the write-up based on the first tie-breaker category (points for), 61-51... but we both picked up one win and I continue to hold a commanding 5-game lead with 8 weeks to play. I haven't been in the Overlord spot since my first year in the bet, but it sure as hell looks like a promising return is in the cards this season. A look at the upcoming matchups:

Lenny

New Orleans:
@ STL (playing with myself), @ TB, NE, @ WAS (*** BAG GAME ***), @ ATL, DAL, TB, @ CAR
PREDICTION:  6-2

Buffalo:
@ TEN, @ JAX (*** BAG GAME ***), MIA, NYJ, @ KC (playing with myself), NE, @ ATL, IND
PREDICTION:  3-5

Kansas City:
@ OAK, PIT, @ SD, DEN, BUF (playing with myself), CLE (*** BAG GAME ***), @ CIN, DEN
PREDICTION:  1-7

St. Louis:
NO (playing with myself), ARI, SEA, @ CHI, @ TEN, HOU, @ ARI, SF
PREDICTION:  2-6

SUMMARY:  I'm assured of 2 wins at a minimum, and if my predictions play out, I'll finish with 24 wins. Randie and I also have three bag games remaining. New Orleans is the best team in the NFL, Kansas City is improving now that they've added Chris Chambers, and Buffalo has a relatively favorable remaining schedule.  I have high hopes.

Randie

Jacksonville:
@ NYJ, BUF (*** BAG GAME ***), @ SF, HOU, MIA, IND, @ NE, @ CLE (playing with himself)
PREDICTION:  2-6

Washington:
DEN, @ DAL, @ PHI, NO (*** BAG GAME ***), @ OAK, NYG, DAL, @SD
PREDICTION:  0-8

Cleveland:
BAL, @ DET (playing with himself), @ CIN, SD, PIT, @ KC (*** BAG GAME ***), OAK, JAX (playing with himself)
PREDICTION:  2-6

Detroit:
@ MIN, CLE (playing with himself), GB, @ CIN, @ BAL, ARI, @ SF, CHI
PREDICTION:  2-6

SUMMARY:  Randie is also assured of 2 wins, but the outlook for his teams is much more bleak. Washington is an absolute mess, and Cleveland and Detroit are both miserable (but I think Detroit is less miserable). I predict 6 more wins for him above, but even that is generous in my opinion. At this point, I'd be surprised if Randie finishes within 10 wins of me.


Well there you have it. In short, Randie's in the shitter. At least we can look forward to his write-up, if not watching his pathetic teams.

I'm making my way out to Oakland this weekend to watch one of my own bag teams get crushed by the Raiders (yeah I know that's wishful thinking). I'm assured of a win this week so hopefully I'll be able to post pics in the write-up.
