Week 9 Recap: Winners & Losers
Winners
There were plenty of winners in Week 9 (15 franchises won $500), with the sportsbooks taking a hit as the big favorites all covered. In the East, Bud Fox was the biggest beneficiary, as his perfect week gives him the division lead. Patrick Bateman also won $500 and is right behind him. Judge Smails and Shecky also turned in perfect weeks….In the North, Gordon Bombay continues to roll, winning $500. However, six of the eight franchises in the North won $500 in Week 9. Joining Gordon was Chalky Studebaker, Dr. Oge, Kimmy Gibbler, Larisa Oleynik, and OJ…..Thine is creating some distance between himself and the rest of the South with another big week. Don’t look now but Face is alive with a perfect week as well….And in the West, Kiko Garcia closed the deficit the division lead with a $500 week. The Big Hurt and Bayonnaise also had clean cards in Week 9.
Losers
In the East, with no big losers in Week 9, The Beard of Zeus is left with the most work to do, in last place in the division but still within striking distance of the rest of the pack….Blossom Russo and T-Ferg were losers in the North, but simply because they didn’t win $500 while the rest of the division did….Yaz was the only franchise in the entire league to lose $500 this week, and he’ll need a big second half of the season to make a playoff run….And it’s hard to pick a loser in the West, but Don Mattingly is now occupying the cellar, so he seems like a logical choice.
