Week Six Matchups
by Reggie Truitt
posted on October 14, 2005 6:46 am

RRT CASINO has enjoyed a lot of success in the first 5 weeks of this season. Yes, a season that is over a 1/3 of the way complete. But, don't worry sports fans. There is still a lot of football left to be played. Remember the CASINO is always looking for new gamblers, somebody has to win some money around here. Boyd, I talked to God and she said that you can gamble this week.

GAME 1: Running Mad (4-1) vs. TurkeyCreek Nate (2-3)

This barnburner could end up being a major upset in the IIFFL and end up shuffling the standings. The most improved team from 2004 is making quite a run so far this season. And, Mr. Smith has proven in just 5 weeks that he is in the upper echelon of GMs in this league. The TurkeyCreek's are still trying to make a name for themselves and their young GM.

Running Mad has many favorable matchups this week; which could make winning even tougher on ChickenGeek. C.Palmer @ Ten., W. Dunn @ NO, S. Smith @ Det. However, there are holes developing in this lineup. A. Johnson and H. Ward have yet to practice this week and may not play. TurkeyCreek brings a hot running back and a cold quarterback into this game. Will any fantasy dorks ever believe that D. Culpepper will be a point machine again? Well, he enjoyed his Blow Job and should play better now. We always do. This team will need that from their qb in order to make a run in the IIFFL. This team will be getting R. Moss back in the lineup along with C. Brown. Also, look for big things from K. Jones running the ball.

Yahoo Projection: Running Mad-98 TurkeyCreek Nate-95

RRT CASINO: Running Mad -8

GAME 2: Oinkpigs(4-1) vs. TurdFergusson (0-5)

Of course you are asking why the CASINO is focusing so much attention on a game between a top dog and a bottom dweller. Why worry about
rollover game? Because its not going to happen. The CASINO likes to stay ahead of the trends. We have already stopped wearing silly t-shirts that say "Missouri Loves Company". And, we are staying ahead of the Oinkpig bandwaggon by jumping off.

The Pigs have 2 really favorable matchups. C.Johnson @ Ten., and L.Tomlinson @ Oak. Other than that, the team is somewhat a tossup. T. Brady could be hit and miss. Jimmy Smith is banged up. A. Smith is getting old and will share carries. The Turd may be putting his best team on the field for weeks. Welcoming K. Collins back in the lineup, and possessing two very capable RBs. C.Portis and D.Davis should both score well this weekend. But, as mentioned plenty of times before. Will the WRs produce for TeamTurd?
