The Top Ten: Week 7

by The Executive Director

The Top Ten: Week 7

Commentary: Welp, the Eagles sunk a large portion of the league in Week 6. Teams that side-stepped the Philly land mine benefited by either moving up the standings or having the rest of their division come down considerably. Boss Hardigan lost his wild card bet on the Eagles, and now finds himself way back in the East, where the leaders are at a mere $800.

(current total; last week’s ranking)

1. Rick Moranis ($2,200; 1)
How is he doing it? Is it because of his “Sunday Sausage” diet? This can’t go on for much longer…..

2. Babe ($1,400; 2)
Babe lost $100 but maintained his lead in the North. He has avoided losing $500 in a single week thus far, and also has yet to be in the negative money.

3. Art Schlichter ($1,200; 5)
A big $300 week (considering the rest of the league) puts Art right behind Babe for the North lead.

4. Don Mattingly ($1,200; 3)
Two bets, two losses, and the separation between Mattingly and Moranis grows. Eleven weeks left, but Moranis continues to pad a lead that the West teams need to start chipping away.

5. Larisa Oleynik ($800; 6)
Over the past few weeks, Larisa’s lead has shrunk and one wonders if she is the NY Jets of Funny Money. Good for the first three weeks, then a dud ever since.

6. T-Ferg ($600; 8 )
T-Ferg avoided losing $500 in Week 6, but looks as though he was a flash in the pan the first four weeks of the season.

7. Slovy Maximus ($800; 4)
Yikes. A conservative four bet strategy. All losses. Yet, Slovy still maintains a $600 lead in the South.

8. Mr. Marbles ($600; 9)
Survived a brutal week and still has the division leader in his sights.

9. Kenny Powers ($500; 10)
Powers has bet some off-the-radar games in the past few weeks and now looks to climb another rung up the West standings.

10. Teddy KGB ($800; NR)
Riding Tom Brady’s arm, Teddy moved into second place in the East. His veteran experience has helped him hang around after a ho-hum start to the season.

OTHERS RECEIVING VOTES: Blossom Russo; Yaz; Waldo Geraldo Faldo; Karl Farbman.
