7 Games to go in the regular season
With that the only lock so far of making the playoffs is the Rayz while I still don't think they'll win the division they are a lock to be in the playoffs at 6-1 cause even with the melt down I predicted they should still get to 9 wins or so.
East
The division winner will be either the Rayz or the U.Gators (who just got a lot stronger with the addition of andre), the Panthers have to get things turned around quick but even at 2-5 I still see them as legitimate wildcard contenders.
Central
The weakest division will be won by either the Heels or Ochocinco now I know the Ducks are 4-3 but I see them falling off I don't particularly like any of the teams in this division but I think Ochocinco will come out on top, I'm not sure that this division will produce one of the three wildcard teams.
West
The backwards West the W.Dogz and Mountaineers both have to fall off hard soon it just has to happen their rosters are horrible and I see the C.Falcons winning this division and the Kings snagging a wildcard.
So if I had to guess the playoff picture will be
3. Ochocinco 1. U.Gators
6. Kings
4. Rayz 2. C.Falcons
5. Panthers

Weiner Dogz grab key win, end Rayz pursuit of perfection
The Weiner Dogz pulled off a big win and at 4-2 have put themselves in a tie atop the West Division. This is a win that could pay large dividends down the road when it comes to making the playoffs or not. Plus with the Kings turning things around with their vaunted line up and now only a game and a half back every game counts if they want to pull off winning this division.
As for the Rayz the slip to 5-1 could be the start of a fatal downward spiral with the Kings coming up next and the U. Gators nipping at their heels the Rayz one loss is a big one with games still left to play against the Kings, Panthers, Heels, U. Gators, Ochocinco, and the C.Falcons it may be tough for them to find a spot in the playoffs let alone find a way to hold onto this division.
Along with the Weiner Dogz another surprise team of '08, the Ducks got a big victory and they should be able to take care of business against the Joes which would put them at 4-3 and position themselves for a huge showdown against the Weiner Dogz.
The Mountaineers sitting at 4-2 need to find a way to piece together some more upset wins cause it looks like the Kings and Carolina Falcons have woken up.
The Panthers and Ochocinco had bad losses this weekend and now they are matched up this weekend and the loser may have a very hard time clawing their way back into the playoff picture.

My NFL Season Picks review so far good and bad
The Good
My NFC North Picks look perfect so far with the Vikes rolling and the Bears following close behind. http://gibsonfantasyfootball.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-nfl-season-picks-nfc-north-and-afc.html
My AFC North looks great had the Ravens stealing the crown from the Steelers and the Bengals finishing in 2nd while the Bengals are in 1st right now coming off a win against the Ravens I don't see them winning the division over the Ravens (sorry christian) but playoffs could come.
My Titans description of last years season being a fluke seems 100 times more true now.
My talk of Peyton making this team make the playoffs was right but they'll take the division which I didn't pick.
NFC South perfection called the Saints as an offensive powerhouse to win the crown and had the Falcons finishing a close second looks great so far.http://gibsonfantasyfootball.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-picks-nfc-south-and-afc-south.html
AFC East called Henne starting even though it was due to injury, called for the Pats and Jets to finish one and two.
THE UGLY
Took the Cowboys in the NFC East, didn't have the Eagles or Giants making the playoffs yeah thats wrong.
Texans to win AFC South WRONG
Bills making it to 7-9 way wrong
Raiders 8-8 they'll be lucky to still be in the NFL by their 8th game.
Broncos 2-14 wow I'll admit I blew it hard on this pick but I still see them coming back to earth at some point they won't make the playoffs and you heard it hear first.

1/3 of the way through a look back at the top 10 questions entering the GFFL season
1. Can the Carolina Falcons make history and become the first team in GFFL History to 3-peat?
- Through 5 games the Carolina Falcons are 2-2-1, not a bad start good enough to be tied for a playoff spot. I'm gonna have to say no to this question though I don't see the Carolina Falcons making the playoffs let alone walking away with an unprecedented 3rd title. Turner did show some signs of life for him last week but his team is more than one stud away so great run but it ends in 2009.
2. Will the Unbeaten Gators make their 4th championship appearance in 5 years?
- Not the way the U. Gators expected to start the year, but they have remained 2nd point wise and have thrown some trades together that they now have a stud at every position and look primed to be a contender and I could even see claiming the one seed as the rest of the schedule other than a date with the Kings and Panthers seems pretty soft. So the answer is yes.
3. Can the Kings find their way back into the playoffs after a 3 year hiatus?
- Slow start at 1-3-1 but this team is stacked no way they don't make the playoffs win the west division and make a push for the title game come December.
4. Have the Panthers put together a roster capable of getting him to his 2nd ever championship appearance?
- Yes the leader in points by a good margin has no business being 2-3 but they'll get things turned around with those point outputs and are one of my three favorites to win the title this year along with the Kings and U.Gators.
5. Can any of the expansion teams (P.Cobras, A.Joes, Heels, Mountaineers) legitimately compete for the 2009 crown?
- The Heels had a strong start at 3-0 but as I predicted had a fall back down to earth, while they're line up isn't championship caliber at all he could still compete with Ochocinco for the division title in the Central. The Mountaineers 4-1 start is unbelievable and they'd be hard pressed to keep that up I don't see them making the playoffs. There was hope for the P.Cobras before they lost to the Rayz and dealt Andre as for the A. Joes they may be able to pull off some upsets this year at best.
6. If the Rayz are in the mix come trade deadline would they part with some of their bounty of draft picks to pull a blockbuster deal?
- Well a 1/3 of the way through he is very much in contention while his line up pales in comparison to others he is somehow 5-0 if he believes his team is a couple moves away from Kings, Panthers, U.Gators territory then he should go for it but if not he'd be wise to wait until 2010 when he'll have a bounty of picks and another shot at a strong year. If nothing changes about this team a big collapse should come very soon.
7. The Ducks were once one of the worst franchises in GFFL history but after going all the way to the championship game last year what's in store for '09?
- 2-3 is what's been in store so far and what led her to the title last year is what's killing her this year DeAngelo Williams while she has a top 5 QB and two top 10 receivers through this point the runningback position is killing her. That will have to be righted for her to find a way into this years six pack of playoff teams. I'll say they come close but don't make it to the dance this year.
8. Who will be this years surprise team a la '08 Ducks and W.Dogz?
- It has to be the Rayz the only difference is they are 100 times more of a surprise there's no bonafide stud on this team it just doesn't make sense but with a 5-0 record even a 3-6 or so crash like I'm predicting shouldn't keep him out of the playoffs but we'll see.
9. Who will have the most helmets in the 6 team draft lottery?
- Average Joes and Purple Cobras will fight it out but I say the Average Joes will have the best percent chance at the top pick in 2010.
10. Has the switch to a 12 team league made the gap of talent wide enough from the good to the average to the bad teams that we might see our first undefeated or winless season?
- Well through 5 weeks were down to one and that's the Rayz 5-0 and I've already made my thoughts public about their chances but hey we'll see my opinion you're gonna have to wait till next year to see someone make a legit push for perfection or imperfection.
- Through 5 games the Carolina Falcons are 2-2-1, not a bad start good enough to be tied for a playoff spot. I'm gonna have to say no to this question though I don't see the Carolina Falcons making the playoffs let alone walking away with an unprecedented 3rd title.

Can the Rayz run the table?
You have to post this any time a team gets through its first 5 games unscathed (to hopefully jinx them the following week) to give them the recognition for doing so and looking ahead to see where and if this streak will end. However the easy answer with this case is yes the streak will end soon very soon. First off this team has no business being undefeated its best player is arguably a tight end they robbed the U. Gators in week 1 with a fluke defense, Peyton and Wayne didn't show up for the panthers in another win, and they won a game while scoring only 59 points.
So here's a look at the upcoming schedule Weiner Dogz easy game but I could see them losing, Kings who I think should slaughter the Rayz, Heels who they'll play without Benson or Bowe so I'll chalk that up as a loss. Then they get the C.Falcons a win, Mountaineers a win, before they hit the extremely hard schedule of Instant Classics a loss, the U. Gators a loss, Panthers a loss, then the A. Joes a win to get to 8-6.
So as I predicted the demise of the once 3-0 Heels who have now lost two straight, things will start to even out for the Rayz and it should happen soon talent and luck win in fantasy and the Rayz have no talent and they've used up all their luck early so while with a 5-0 start the playoffs is definitely reachable I'd be severely shocked to see this team win their division or get to double digit wins. And here's one better for you I'll say the 1-3-1 Kings will finish with a better record than the Rayz.

Heels and Ocho make a deal; Kings steal a stud
Heels receive : HB Portis and a 3rd rounder
Ocho receive: HB Jacobs and a 6th rounder
The Kings landed Andre for waiver wire fodder in yet another steal from one of the phillips twins they have now landed both of the Purple Cobras and Average Joes franchise players in Brees and Andre Johnson I don't know what else to say about that trade.

Upside down start to the year
The top 3 in the league in scoring
1. Panthers 392 - 10th in the league - (1-3) averaging almost 100 points a game this is unreal for a team and will surely get righted before the seasons out.
2. Ochocinco 382 - 6th in the league - (1-2-1) another huge scorer but only a half game better than the Panthers.
3. Unbeaten Gators 370 - 7th in the league - (1-2-1) the U. Gators the third best scorer but currently not in the top half of the league.
in comparison the top 4 teams in the league
1. Rayz 343 - this 4-0 start is so much luck his opponents are averaging 60 points against him and of course he had the Eagles D pull out week 1, then two weeks ago won despite a horrid 59 point output. The luck has to run out soon and when it does this team could crash. While 343 is not a bad scoring output taking away the Eagles monstrous game he's down there with the Heels.
2. Heels 317 - Same situation as the Rayz this team should fall back.
3. W. Dogz 344 - The W.Dogz may actually have some staying power in the weak west.
4. Mountaineers 305 - It's an enigma this team has three wins.
The hot starts won't totally evaporate but the top scorers will eventually rise up by the midpoint or so and the luck should balance out making for a great finish to the season and a race for the playoffs.

Report: Essick renigs on Brady deal
The Heels and Instant Classics came very close to completing a deal that would've sent Brady to Christian and Favre and a 2nd rounder to Essick. Apparently though the plug has been pulled and this deal will not be going down.
