1-888-BIG-MONY

Lots of craziness going on. FLC, ND40 and BUTTA trying to get in the SBP. FLC has the edge and ND40/BUTTA play in week 14. Then you have AP1 JOE LOU, MONTREAL and KC fighting for a regular season title and SBP position. ROSS and TLIC are battling to stay out of the cellar and spoil seasons.


WHO’S HOT: JOE LOUIS W5
WHO’S NOT: TLICIOUS L4

WE HAVE 2 GAMES OF THE WEEK


CO-GAME OF THE WEEK
AP5 ND40 (6-6) -1 vs AP1 JOE (8-4)
LAST MEETING: JOE 137, ND40 102

ND40 needs to turn into Mr. Late November right now. They need a win. JOE LOUIS is on the verge of a second regular season championship but MONTREAL stands in the way. JOE QB Brees and WR Moss are hitting their stride and with RB Fat Little Turner it will be tough on ND. ND40 Rodgers is looking so-so and they’ll get some home cooking this week. He needs a big game along with sidekick WR Jennings. ND40 needs RB AP AD or whatever to prove his worth NOW. ND40 WR Kevin Walter is white. JOE WR Braylon has nothing. We smell an upset as there is no reason ND40 cant keep up with JOE this week. ND40 by onesie.




AP3 MONTREAL (8-3-1) -2 vs AP6 BUTTA (6-6)
LAST MEETING: MM 163, BUTTA 107

Well, here comes Buttason. The usual late season push is here but this will be a tough task this time around. MM had a huge win last week and have the inside track on their first REGULAR SEASON CHAMPIONSHIP. MM is paced by RBs Forte and T-Jones and they will be good again this week. MM has QB Tony back and its huge. MM QB Tony will be big this week. MM WRs Roddy, Royal and Evans can put a hurtin on you and they will this week. BUTTA has brought in a ton of RBs and this week RB Johnson and Lynch will get their turn and they should be good but keeping up with MMs RBS will be tough. BUTTA QB Peyton and WRs TO and Smith must bring it. MM clinched a SPB playoff spot but they will come hard. This will be a close high scoring tilt with MM just getting enough from that TOUGH TENN DEF.




AP7 TLICIOUS (3-8-1) -1 vs AP4 FLC (6-6)
LAST MEETING: FLC 167, TLIC 106

Another big one as ND40 and BUTTA will be scoreboard watching. FLC is eyeing the SBP and TLIC is gearing up for TBP. First off, this is going to be an outstanding football game. Looking at the lineups we see big points and intermingling players. TLIC QB White Cassels, FLC WR Welker, FLC QB Cutler and TLIC WR Marshall. TLIC WR Crotch. FLC WR Laveranous. TLIC WR Keller……..We are confused and conflicted. The difference this week, TLIC RB LT will finally prove his 1st round 1st overall manhood. TLIC by 1



GUT PICK OF THE WEEK
AP2 KC BEES (7-5) -25 vs AP7 ROSS (3-9)
LAST MEETING: KC BEES 115, ROSS 92

Merciful Heavens. The gut is ready for turkey, booze and booze. Not sure if the gut is ready for ROSS and software though. The gut sees ROSS RB Leon and RB Hillis and says, “ehhhhh”. The guts sees KC RB Marion and LJ and says, “ahhhhh”. The gut sees, ROSS WR Steve Breaston and says, “breasts!!!!!”. The gut sees KC QB Warner and says, “Hyvee” KC by 25

AP PCS, WEEK 13

AP#1 JOE LOUIS: Our 3rd AP1 in 3 weeks. Feel the Brees? No

AP#2 KC BEES: Loses a shootout with Butta but software is still a happy software

AP#3 MONTREAL: All of a sudden not getting respect from the pollsters but clearly could be still an AP1 and regular season king.

AP#4 FLC: Bounces back just when they needed to

AP#5 ND40: Trying to fight off Butta. They meet in week 14

AP#6 BUTTA: If ND40 is Mr. September than Butta is Mr. Late November. Gets 100th victory

AP#7 TLIC: They thought they had Uncle JOE but they let them off the hook

AP#8 ROSS: If ROSS could just spoil someones playoff berth.......

Butta Picks 12

1-888-BIG-MONY

With 3 weeks remaining, 2 games separate AP2 through AP6. FLC and ND40 are battling hard for the SB playoffs with BUTTA hanging around. KC BEES are the new AP1 with JOE LOU a close second. MM is still in good position but they need to pick it up. TLIC would love to run the table to go 6-7-1 but it wont be good enough for the SBP. ROSS’ job is to spoil and climb out of the cellar.


WHO’S HOT: JOE LOUIS W4, KC BEES W3
WHO’S NOT: TLICIOUS and FLC L3


GAME OF THE WEEK
AP4 ND40 (6-5) -1 vs AP1 MONTREAL (7-3-1)
LAST MEETING: MM 162, ND40 124

Big Game for both here. MM is playing for a regular season championship and has JOE and KC on their azz. ND40 is trying to sneak into the SB playoffs along with keeping FLC out. ND40 will be scoreboard watching this week when FLC takes the field. We went through this game one by one and the players along with matchups were so even. What we did like for ND40 was RB AP. He can be a real difference maker here. Then, you have MM RB Forte. He can easily match RB AP this week. We are just gonna go with it. ND by 1 in a high scoring, fun affair.



AP1 KC BEES (7-4) -14 vs AP6 BUTTA (5-6)
LAST MEETING: KC 131, BUTTA 109

KC and the software are rolling. Software and KC were even scene at Barnes and Noble drinking latte’s and browsing through the ‘bargain book’ bins. No way these two will buy a calendar until after Jan. 1 when they are 75% off. Smart, these two are. BUTTA struck back after the worst performance in league history. FA QB Jake has received threats from the Butta fans after that debacle and nobody know where he is. Well, it’s a must-win for Butta if they have any chance at SPB love. KC’s QB Warner and Fitzy are rolling along and even though they have a tough matchup there is no reason to think they will be held down. KC RB Barber will very tough this week and will be trouble for Butta. Look for a solid game for KC WR Lance. Lance has been a bit of slut in the league and he pays off nicely. BUTTA must bring it all. QB Pimples, WR TO and Smith…even little old RB Warrick Dunn. BUTTA is desperate and pulling all the stops. It will be a valiant effort by BUTTA but KC will be too much. Should be a very high scoring battle. KC by 14



AP5 FLC (5-6) -6 vs AP8 ROSS (3-8)
LAST MEETING: FLC 170, ROSS 57

This is a monster game for FLC and who better to spoil it than ROSS. ROSS is not playing a GUT Game. First time all year. To big of a game for FLC. ROSS RB Westy is clearly hurt and is far from his usual self. It will interesting to see what happens with him this week. ROSS QB Campbell and Moss are the backbone of this ROSS club and if they don’t play well, its over. This week should be a good one for them.
FLC QB Cutler has his work cut out for him this week but he’ll get his points. FLC WR Andre could have one of those huge games he has from time to time this week. Something like 10 rec- 145 yds and a TD. FLC RB Portis is a huge plus for FLC this week as ROSS is relying on Westy and RB Ward. This is going to be a real dog fight. Low scoring, a real nailbitter. A grinder. FLC pulls this one out but by 6. If ROSS TE Gates can get out of the gate fast ROSS makes this a game.

GUT PICK OF THE WEEK
AP2 JOE LOUIS (7-4) -2 vs AP7 TLICIOUS (3-7-1)
LAST MEETING: TLIC 136, JOE 122

Merciful Heavens. Talk about close games…..here is another one. The gut is full and after looking at this game the gut is tired and full. Gut needs a nap but wants to get this one of his chest. TLIC has fallen on hard times since the tie with MM. JOE is the hottest team in the league. JOE QB Brees is going to be trouble for TLIC and on MNF. The gut hates TLIC WR Santonio and JOE WR Braylon…both Butta re-treads. Gut is not big on TLIC QB Cassels either but is on JOE WR Moss. Figure that one out. TLIC WR Marshall is not going to have big game. TLIC can win but it falls on the lap of RB LT and Jamal. JOE RBs Gore and Turner are tough but GUT really likes the TLIC backs this week. Gut has no clue really but these are two teams going in two different directions. So he gives it JOE but only by 2.

Rounding up the troops

AP PCS Rankings, week 12

AP#1 KC BEES: It happened. KC beats MM and has worked their way to the top. Software even brought KC roses and chocolates as a post game reconciliation.

AP#2 JOE LOUIS: Kills ROSS again and winners of 5 straight. Rumor has it they are pissed that KC is #1 and wants an investigation.

AP#3 MONTREAL: MM drops 2 spots after being AP1 since week 4. Pretty harsh but JL and KC are coming on way too strong.

AP#4 ND40 oz: Wow. A big effort over TLIC and now they have the inside track over.....

AP#5 FLC: Butta gets over on them again and all of a sudden Naperville needs to strike back to keep 'brotha from the same mutha' from stealing their SB playoff spot.

AP#6 BUTTA: The evil empire gets a monster victory but now they get AP1 KC next week. Another must-win.

AP#7 TLIC: The ND40 loss was very tough. Two tough losses in a row

AP#8 ROSS: ROSS wondering what RB Westy is doing

BUTTA PICKS, WEEK 11

Buttapicks.com
1-888-BIG-MONY

MONTREAL remains on top after a high scoring tussle with Fun Lovin. JOE LOUIS and BUTTA had one of lowest scoring games in modern day history thanks to BUTTAs record breaking performance. KC BEES and the Software demolished ND40 by 70 points. KC is the move. Finally, ROSS comes back from behind and shocks TLICIOUS. Imagine that, TLIC and BUTTA in the Toilet? There is a changing of guard….for now.



WHO’S HOT: JOE LOUIS W3, KC BEES W2
WHO’S NOT: FLC and TLIC L2, BUTTA L1


GAME OF THE WEEK
AP3 KC BEES (6-4) -13 vs AP1 MONTREAL (7-2-1)
LAST MEETING: MM 132, KC BEES 116

MONTREAL is a freight train right now. As long as he doesn’t text when he is supposed to change tracks he should coast. KC is red hot and the Software has finally let him back in the house. The Software is happy for once until the next KC slip up. This is a huge GOTW. A win by KC and they should be AP1 regardless what JOE LOUIS does. KC QB Warner and WR FITZ should have a great game this week. KC inserts RB LJ back into the lineup. The Software is not a fan of women-hataz but KC wants to win at all cost. KC WR Lance and TE Gonzo should have very productive games. MM QB Rivers needs to come out swinging. MM WRs Roddy and Royal will be tough to stop. MM RB Forte must bring cowbell. He needs a big game because KC looks very tough this week. MM RB T-Jones plays on TNF and it wont be easy for him. KC is red hot as is AP1 MM. We feel that MM is in for a letdown and KC DEF CHI will be big time this week. Its amazing but THE SOFTWARE will be the new AP1 next week. KC by 13




AP6 TLIC (3-6-1) -7 vs AP5 ND40 (5-5)
LAST MEETING: ND40 146, TLIC 132

ND40 got smoked by KC last week and TLIC got blindsided by Gut Pick mainstay ROSS. Two teams that desperately need some love. Here is your Obama vs McCain of the league this week. It doesn’t mean ND40 will win though. TLIC QB Ryan has been playing great football and it will continue this week. ND40 QB Rodgers has been ok and has a tougher matchup this week. He will need to go early and often to ND40 WR Jennings. TLIC RB LT and Jacobs will have to grind out tough yards. Both have tougher matchups this week and they have ND40 RB AP to counter. ND40 RB Slaton is worn down and TLIC must take advantage. TLIC has fallen on hard times and ND40 is on and off. We like TLIC to have a solid week and beat ND40 on the rookie arm of Matt Ryan. TLIC by a late TD.




AP7 BUTTA (4-6) -3 vs AP4 FLC (5-5)
LAST MEETING: BUTTA 136, FLC 135

BUTTA is stuck on 98 wins all-time. BUTTA is in turmoil right now and this is a MUST WIN. FLC is playing well but not good enough and finds itself at 5-5 with ‘brotha from the same mutha’ right behind him in the polls. The last time these two teams met it was an amazing game with BUTTA winning by one. FLC WR HINES was called on and failed. This week is a big week for both. A must win for BUTTA and FLC needs to keep Naperville happy. BUTTA RBs have been pathetic and RB Action Jackson is still missing in action. This week RB Johnson and loser RB Lynch must right their wrongs from last week. BUTTA QB Pimples loves being a Stallion and he will be throwin all day. FLC QB Cutler should put together a good week as well. FLC WR Colston and RB DeAngelo have a hard on for Butta for trading them so quickly for terrible RB Lynch. FLC RB DeAngelo will be the one with the big game. Butta WRs Smith and TO rise above this week. FLC TE Winslow is corksucker. This is going to be very close and fun game to watch but in the end BUTTA will win on a last second FG by Robbie Bironas. More revenge for last years Supa Bowl for Butta.




GUT PICK OF THE WEEK
AP2 JOE LOUIS (6-4) -1 vs AP8 ROSS (3-7)
LAST MEETING: JOE 141, ROSS 107

Merciful Heavens. Historically since JOE has joined the league, he has demolished ROSS. The gut is very aware of this. Believe it or not, the GUT thinks this is our best game of the week. ROSS is going to throw the kitchen sink at JOE LOUIS. ROSS QB Jason and WR Santana will light up a weak DAL secondary. JOE QB Brees thinks this will be an easy game but the gut is warning him right now. JOE WR Braylon has nothing. The gut thinks JOE LOU RBs Turner and Gore will be very difficult for ROSS to deal with…..and that will be the game decider. Folks, this will be a very HIGH SCORING 69 love affair game. Big points. Look for a surprise huge game from ROSS WR Muhsim. THE GUT says JOE but by only 1.

Stanley Cup Champs?

AP PCS POLL, WEEK 11

AP#1 MONTREAL: A huge win over FLC who was knocking on the door. Still needs to keep going to wrap up REGULAR SEASON TITLE

AP#2 JOE LOUIS: Crappy win over a bad Butta team. Luck has a way of running out

AP#3 KC BEES: KC has turned it around and appear to be SB playoff bound. Big showdown hoedown with MM this week

AP#4 FLC: FLC had a great week but got derailed by MONTREAL. Run into an angry Butta team this week

AP#5 ND40: ND40 is hanging around. They need some more W's to knock out the above 4teams.

AP#6 TLICIOUS: Morale is not high after ROSS' come from behind win

AP#7 BUTTA: Its looking like the worst season in Stallions history unless they can run the table. Nothing is going right

AP#8 ROSS: ROSS is slowly walking up the basement steps. A monster win this week and Red Oak is happy again

TLIC PICKS, WEEK 10

Buttapicks.com
1-888-BIG-MONY

The suspense is mounting as the top 6 teams struggle for 4 good playoff spots. JL with a big 2 point win over MM as Cooley came up a bit short. That is 2 weeks in a row with no win for MM and he looks to right the ship against Naperville’s finest. ND and KC both took care of business with relative ease while Butta, despite some early Sunday whining, put a beating on T-Lic. No one is really on fire or on ice but some trends are sure to emerge from Week 10. I just want to say thank you for this opportunity to bring you Butta Picks. I hate you all.



WHO’S HOT: JOE LOUIS W2
WHO’S NOT: Matt Schaub and Brandon Marshall


GAME OF THE WEEK
AP1 MM (6-2-1) -19 vs AP3 FLC (5-4)
LAST MEETING: MM 121, FLC 119

Huge game. Huge. Like Delta Burke through a magnifying glass. Last meeting was a 2 pointer but this one seems a bit more one-sided. Rivers has been outplaying Cutler who has lost his mojo along with his best receiver. Meanwhile the rookie Royal is picking up the slack from the moper. MM’s Forte has a tough matchup but the receivers look good and TJ should do just fine against the Rams. FLC is going to need huge performances from AJ, DeAngelo and Coles and I just don’t think he can get all 3. Even a staphless Kellen won’t be enough. MM’s trash talking gets backed up by a big W and Fasano celebrates being on a winning team.


AP4 KC BEES (5-4) -29 vs AP5 ND40 (5-4)
LAST MEETING: KC 116, ND40 89

KC has cobbled together a team like an old man making shoes in Pella, Iowa. Suddenly the Warner/Fitzy combo is causing havoc while T-Lic is left with Marshall remorse. Rice and Hightower are also looking like great pickups but are still a bit unproven at this point. Mason has been a nicer surprise than putting a $5 chip on #7. ND is basking in the Obama sunshine and will need a big game for Rodgers against the suspect Vikings secondary. If there is a scoring bonanza between GB and MIN there is hope but I just don’t like some of the matchups. Look for Bowe to do some damage but ND will come up emptier than my candy bag on Halloween. Apparently 35 year old guys dressed as Sarah Palin are a precursor to calling the cops.


AP2 JOE LOUIS (5-4) -12 vs AP6 BUTTA (4-5)
LAST MEETING: JOE LOUIS 156, BUTTA 113

Holy Iowa rivalries Batman! These two love to hate each other and provide the league’s best trash talking. JL treated Butta like a Tom Harkin opponent last time and Butta needs to be careful or it could happen again. Butta has placed his vaunted curse on Braylon who now resides on the Lions. Brady to Braylon? Hmmm…has a nice ring to it. Brees and Turner will be huge for JL but those are the only gimmes here. Matt Jones needs to sidestep a suspension for one more week for Butta to have a shot. The SS Angry and Delhomme need to hook up twice and Chris Johnson needs to pull an AP on the Bears. You can tell Butta is pulling out all the stops by bringing in the Miami D to handle a jet lagged Seneca Wallace instead of riding the Panthers against the “77 yard” Raiders. I think Butta can put up more points than the guru is projecting but Brees is simply too much in the end.


GUT PICK OF THE WEEK
AP7 TLICIOUS (3-5-1) -3 vs AP8 ROSS (2-7)
LAST MEETING: TLIC 134, ROSS 118

This gut pick of the week is brought to you by Milwaukee’s Best. When you want a beer and can’t afford another brand try the Beast. Warm, flat and stale. Welcome to Milwaukee.
Red Oak is ready for this one. The snakes ride the Westbrook train and he should be solid again this week although the Giants D will make him work for it. Gates will be big but Shockey will try to offset the ‘Tone now that is he back on his rightful team. Boldin and Flacco will be tough as well as the rookie is making a run at some postseason individual hardware. T-Lic has turned to his own rookie QB as Schaub went down like a McCain one-liner. This is all about LT against the Chiefs. It needs to be big and it needs to be all day long…that’s what she said. Jacobs must double Ward’s production and Marshall has to answer the Porter tirade with some heart. The head says that LT is the difference maker but the gut believes ROSS will take this one on Monday night with 3 interceptions of Shaun Hill by the Cardinal D.
Gut pick: ROSS -5

AP PCS WEEK 10

AP#1 MONTREAL: Barely holding on now. A 2 point loss to JOE was big

AP#2 JOE LOUIS: Bunch of bullshit. JOE LOUIS beats MM and now is a contender once again.

AP#3 FLC: The loss to KC isnt a PCS killer. FLC needs to keep winning though. MONTREAL is up next

AP#4 ND40: Here they come with FLC in close range

AP#5 KC BEES: The software is quiet only because they are winning again

AP#6 BUTTA: A desperate win last week. Time for a hate-filled showdown with heavily favored JOE LOUIS

AP#7 TLICIOUS: Needs RB LT to be big down the stretch

AP#8 ROSS: ROSS hasnt won 2 straight since the TV show "Friends" was funny.
