WEEK 4: Magic 8 Ball Report

WEEK 4: Magic 8 Ball Report
Week 3 record (9-3)
Overall (26-10)

Is it just me or was that first three weeks of the inagural season in Roster Wars exhausting. I don't think I have ever had a fantasy league tire me out like this. There is more aniety in this league of "do I have the right people in" or the "can I pull this one out tonight" feelings than I can remember. It's because this is the League of Leagues. I am in too many leagues this year and that won't happen again. I love the amout of time this one takes up and I don't have to go from league to league to get my fix. Now, Lets get it on.

Out of the Chapter, finally!!!!!! These guys are brutal. Now, we venture on to new horizons. All these teams have been playing with each other. Now we get to play with you too. Let me splain.

Duffers (2-1) v Clowns (0-3)

OH those poor Clowns. They are stuck in the 250 point range at the bottom of the RW barrel. The Duffers had their first loss in RW and cannot be happy about those damn refs. But this is it.......This is the week....I can feel it. The Clowns have moved out of the Chapter and are here to wreak havoc on the Duffers. Call me crazy but the Duffers are going to come to New Mexico and get beat....DAMN STRAIGHT.....

8 ball confirms: Clowns by .002

Legends (2-1) v Dragons (2-1)

The Legends come to Dragon land this week. The Dragons reeling from a loss to the boss. While the Legends got the Eagles on a good day(is there not one). This matchup for the Legends.....I don't like it. I wonder if the Legends are about to find themselves in a slump after a great start. Facing the Africans and a surprisingly good Eternals team in the next two weeks, The 8 ball thinks the Legends are about to meet .500 and keep falling.

Eternals (2-1) v Gadabouts (0-3)

The Eternals have quietly put up 2 good weeks and have a winning record. The poor Gadabouts have had the unfortunate luck to face 3 good teams in the 2nd chapter. Again this is the week of change. We all start to venture out of our chapter caves and see what the rest of the conference has to offer. This is the Gadabouts coming out party. The Eternals are fielding 1 Qb and junk at RB. Gadabouts, you can finally drink out of that glass.

8 ball reminds: Enjoy that olive

Eagles (3-0) v Headhunters (3-0)

Out of all of the 3-0 teams and 0-3 teams in the league, this is the only matchup of those like records this week. One of these undefeateds is going home a loser. The Headhunters have picked this as their homecoming game. Usually, teams pick the Clowns or the CCS for that, but not in Wyoming. We don't just like petting our sheep. AWW NAWW. We like em hard.....errrrr tough....um ...whatever. The Eagles have had the highest point total 2 weeks straight and have a potent offense. However, in week 1 they put up barely 300 points. In the end though, just like most of the teams that pick a hard team to play for homecoming, they get beat. It will be good but the Hunters fall short.

8 ball says: Heels in the boots, baaaaaaaa

Africans (1-2) v Degenerates (1-2)

I don't think for a second that the Africans thought they would have the same record as the Degenerates after 3 weeks. The Degenerates got a win that they should savor for a while, cause it's not happening again this week. The Africans had that unenviable 2nd Chapter to deal with and have the scars to prove it. They have plenty of firepower to bulldoze Vegas. The Africans are averaging around the 340's while the Degenerates barely broke 300 for the first time last week. Back to reality for Rob.

8 ball mumbles: FLUKE

Chaetomorpha (2-1) v Spazz (0-3)

Oh the Spazz. Top half in scoring. Top half of the power rankings. Bottom of the barrel. When the draft was over the outlook on these two would have been total opposite. Now that the Spazz decimated his team, they are mad and Karma has him a tri-week loser. Chaeto's Karma for rebuilding has him smiling. Does seaweed SMILE? Hell yeah it does. Those smiles don't stop this week either. The Spazz's good point totals will start to look more like week three for a while. As the bid green lays atop the 1st chapter after week 4.

8 Ball yells: Dry it out and smoke it

CCS (0-3) v Pigskins (3-0)

The theme of this article is easily becoming change. New winds. Summer to Autumn. The Pigs routed their chapter with fair ease. Meanwhile, the CCS has fast seen his unrelenting pace on the boards fall like his record. Unlike when he came to us, he is quiet, gentle and giving. Giving himself to whatever team will have him and putting up less of a fight than Will Ferrel did against Freckles on an Austrailian Christmas Eve. Having settled in to this lifestyle he is comfy and warm, waiting for winter to show his fierce nature. Winter is months away and so is a win for CCS.

8 Ball says: Get some hot chocolate and relax

Killers (2-1) v Bombers (0-3)

The Killers have proved that having a semi bad lineup can net you fluke wins week in and week out. While the Bombers can't sniff a win in a bread factory. But I like the team the Bombers have. It has the makings of a winning team. This week the Killers go back to being what we thought they would. The Bombers get on the winning track for the first time this year. Having to change this week and go out of chapter is a good thing for these teams that are winless.

8 ball grins: get it while you can

Destroyers (2-1) v Demons (2-1)

The Destroyers are sporting the 3rd most points in the league and only just barely missed out on 3-0. The Demons have gotten lucky, we think. Beating CCS, speaks for itself. And they took out the Empire on a bad Empire week. The Demons are a hodgepodge group and do not hold a candle to the Destroyers. There will be no luck this week. This will get ugly from the word go and the Demons will be praying to get their hands on CCS again before its all over.

8 Ball preaches: The book of Revelation

Golddiggers (1-2) v Cats (3-0)

At one point I thought the Diggers would be formidable opponents every week. Now I just think they are somewhat of an opponent. What will be great is when the Cats finally have to play someone who gives them a battle. They have had it easy so far. They are good, real good. But with that lineup, I don't see a challenge for the Cats. They may not lose a game until the Championship. In the end, the Diggers begin to cement their place at the botton of Chapter 6 until further notice.

8 Ball knows: There's always next year

Empire (1-2) v Werewolves (1-2)

The Empire is a good team. Way better than that record shows them to be. The Wolves on the other had are not better than their record. Sitting in the bottom 1/3 of point totals, the Wolves winning ways will only come with fluke weeks for them being good and fluke weeks of their opponent being bad. Not happening this week though. The Werewolves' lineup is stocked full of bad matchups. The point placing will not look any different come Tuesday, than it does today.

8 ball says: Better days are not ahead

Slings (1-2) v Legionnaires (2-1)

Jersey got back to the winning side last week after reeling in week 2, after feeling invincible in week 1. The Slings have it rough in Chapter 4 with the Destroyers and Pigs taking names. For a lot of underachieving teams this out of chapter week is a godsend. For the Slings, they got the unfortunate draw of a Legionnaires team that is stacked on D. While these two offenses will go toe to toe, the Jersey D will steal the show. The Slings are going to need a sling after this. Jersey's breaking something.
