Week 7 MVP Award Winners –
Roadrunner & Shaylene (22 Points)

Husband and wife club members Roadrunner & Shaylene celebrated their 41st anniversary early this year by scoring 22 Points each to share the Week 7 MVP Award.  Roadrunner has been the dominant muscle car in the club for 2 straight years now, having finished last season in 3rd Place with 5 Weeks logged at #1.  But Roadrunner was not content to leave his car parked in the Plymouth garage as it has been full speed ahead once again.  He has now flipped the NOS switch and pulled ahead into 1st Place for the first time this season.  Shaylene also has been making solid picks for 2 straight years now, having finished last season with 1 MVP Award and a Peak Position of #3.  Much like Bob Swerski & Stinkerbell battle it out for bragging rights in the household, the same is true of Roadrunner & Shaylene.  However, their picks are usually somewhat closely aligned, which means they no doubt share their research and thoughts on who will win the games with each other.  Shaylene moves up into 3rd Place with her strong week.  The Week 7 MVP Award Runner-Up is shared by My Wife Loves Jimmy G & Captain Insano who both scored 13 Points.  13 Points doesn’t sound like very much, but on a tough week with lots of upsets, it was good enough to be second best.  Let’s not forget that My Wife Loves Jimmy G was our Club Champion Runner-Up last season, finishing only 8 Points behind Club Champion Rad Dad in the Final Standings.  Perhaps this is a sign that he has awakened this season and is ready to make another run at the title.  Captain Insano is having a successful season so far, currently sitting in 5th Place as I continue to patiently wait for his first attempt at Triple Jeopardy.  The Top Five currently consists of #1 Roadrunner (1 Week at #1), #2 Young Tuna (2 Points back), #3 Shaylene (13 Points back), #4 Fearless Tuna (15 Points back), and #5 Captain Insano (16 Points back).  And that means that all four members of the Tuna family who are playing once again occupy the top four spots.  Hopefully we won’t all stay there too long so that the club doesn’t look like it is rigged (lol).  Over in Head to Head Weekly, we are halfway through our 10 game regular season.  And so far, the three most dominant players have been Drummer Boy, Rad Dad & Viking Blood, who all have 4 wins and 1 loss.  Let’s see if they can keep up their momentum and win their divisions, or if other players will rise up to challenge their early-season dominance.  Speaking of dominance, over in Pro Bowl Team Weekly, Hulkamania is running wild, brother.  The Hulkamaniacs remain undefeated at 4 wins, 0 losses, and 1 tie.  All teams have now played each other once and the rotation begins again this week.

Here is a copy of the Week 7 Current Standings for those who are having trouble viewing it on their screens (usually due to viewing site on cell phone or tablet). Remember that there is much more detailed information that can be read on the actual Current Standings Page (but using a computer is necessary due to the tables).

Here are the club’s picks for Week 7.  Roadrunner & Shaylene tie for the Week 7 MVP Award with 22 Points and Captain Insano & My Wife Loves Jimmy G tie for the MVP Award Runner-Up with 13 Points.

Week 7 full picks now posted (Sun 8:40am).  All players are welcome to view my picks once they have turned their own in for the week.

Week 6 MVP Award Winner –
MJD Hogg (31 Points)

MJD Hogg has left Hazzard County, Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane, and the rest of the club in the dust as he scored 31 Points to win the Week 6 MVP Award.  He did this by getting all three of the high value games correct including both Games of the Week and the Monday night game.  Sweeping those three games alone gets you 16 Points, so it was a great way to start for MJD.  Along with that, he was 1 of only 4 club members to correctly pick the Double Stakes of Wash-Jax (along with Hoosier Daddy, My Wife Loves Jimmy G & The Rickster).  And then he wrapped things up by getting all three Point Spread Games.  MJD Hogg is 1 of 4 club members who has not yet attempted Triple Jeopardy this season.  Being that the club is a combined 26-23 at picking TJ this season, it’s a difficult category to be successful at.  As a result of his huge week, MJD Hogg has entered the Top Five this week for the first time this season and is currently tied for 4th Place.  MJD Hogg’s brother and teammate Hoosier Daddy won the Week 6 MVP Award Runner-Up with 30 Points.  Hoosier Daddy has completely turned around his season in the last few weeks.  For starters, he has improved from 0-3 to 3-3 in Triple Jeopardy, thus breaking even and not losing any Points.  Also, back in Week 3 he was in 18th Place and now he has climbed all the way to 12th Place.  He is now sitting only 11 Points away from getting into the Top Five.  MJD and Hoosier’s teammate Drummer Boy has also suddenly burst into contention, drumming his way into the Top Five after another strong week.  Drummer Boy has finally recovered from my MVP challenge to him mid-last season, which threw him out of the rhythm of making great picks.  He is officially back and all club members better watch their backs or he may pass them up before they realize what has happened.  The three best players so far at picking TJ this season are Shaylene (5-0), Drummer Boy (5-1), and Roadrunner (3-0).  The Top Five currently consists of #1 Young Tuna (5 Weeks at #1), #2 Roadrunner (10 Points back), #3 Fearless Tuna (14 Points back), and tied for #4 Drummer Boy & MJD Hogg (16 Points back).  But an interesting thing is that all players from 6th to 14th Place are only 13 Points or less away from getting into the Top Five.  So it is still a very wide open race at this point, at which we are now 1/3 of the way through the season.  In Head to Head Weekly, Drummer Boy continues to dominate as he improved to 4-0 with a win over Bob Swerski 25-16.  In Pro Bowl Team Weekly, Daddy & His Boys delivered a statement victory by crushing The Volcanoes 86-56.
