The Top Ten: Week 6

Commentary: Two wild card bets were placed in Week 5. Blossom Russo rode Gunslinger Favre’s arm to victory and Kenny Powers jumped on Peyton Manning to win as well. Curious that Blossom and Kenny – who are siblings – both bet their wild cards in the same week (conspiracy?). Rick Moranis kept chugging along and Slovy Maximus separated himself from the rest of the South.

(current total; last week’s ranking)

1. Rick Moranis ($1,900; 1)
We are five weeks deep into the season, and there are still questions surrounding this unprecedented run by Rick. When does it end? How is he doing it? After a lifetime of gambling failures, has Moranis turned it around for good?

2. Babe ($1,500; 3)
A perfect week for Babe and an increase in his lead in the North. Some say his two-team strategy might back to haunt him as the season progresses, much like it did in 2008.

3. Don Mattingly ($1,700; 5)
Donnie has won $500 for three straight weeks and keeps the pressure on Rick for the overall lead.

4. Slovy Maximus ($1,300; 6)
A huge week for Slovy. He gained some cash, and all other teams in the South dropped back. He now has the largest division lead ($1,100).

5. Art Schlichter ($900; 10)
A reborn Art has not lost his gambling touch. He has surged back up the Top Ten but has to keep moving in the positive direction if he wants to catch Babe.

6. Larisa Oleynik ($900; 4)
Over the last two weeks, Larisa has slid down five spots in the rankings, and now only holds a slim lead over the rest of the East.

7. The Beard of Zeus ($900; NR)
The Beard is hot right now, but it’s a shame that everyone else in his division is hot as well. A wild card bet this week could vault him over the league leaders.

8. T-Ferg ($900; 2)
T-Ferg slips down after another off week. Don’t look now but he is in danger of falling farther and farther away in the West.

9. Mr. Marbles ($700; 8 )
Marbles is on the cusp of either being right in contention in the North or being a nobody hovering around even money.

10. Kenny Powers ($400; NR)
And Kenny is alive! A wild card win and an $800 week took him from the basement of the division to within arms reach of the rest of the pack. However, he needs to beef up his .400 winning percentage if he wants to contend.

OTHERS RECEIVING VOTES: Boss Hardigan; Teddy KGB; Blossom Russo; Bummy.

DROPPED OUT: Karl Farbman; Boss Hardigan.
