Matt Ryan to the Pirates

U.Gators Receive: 5th round pick and QB Kolb

Pirates Receive: QB Ryan

Two trades

U.Gators Get: 7th round pick

Kings Get: QB Jay Cutler


I.Classics Get: 1st, 3rd and Addai

Copperheads Get: Jacobs, P.Thomas and Garcon

Moss and some change to the U.Gators; MJD back to the Kings

U.Gators Get: WR R.Moss and HB R.Mathews

Kings Get: HB M.Jones-Drew

The U.Gators are ecstatic to get Randy Moss and the throw in of Ryan Mathews and his soft run schedule coming up is just gravy. As for the Kings they get their slumping favorite superstar back but with the way Jacksonville is playing I don't know how much success he can have this season but at least Dylan's t shirt makes sense again now.

Struggling Rayz, Slumping Classics, Crumbling Kings..

Rayz are sitting at 1-5 four games back of the East Division they won in 2009 and 2 games back of the 6 seed in the wildcard. The Instant Classics have dropped four straight since their 2-0 start to fall 2 games back in the Central and a game back of the 6 seed. What else do these teams have in common oh yeah they play each other week 7. This is a must win for the Rayz if they lose a 6th game this early it's over, as for the Classics if they slip to 2-5 the Central (with the Heels easy schedule and hot start) looks out of reach and both the Classics and Rayz would be battling to try to sneak into the playoffs and the Rayz would have the tiebreaker over the Classics.

The Kings a week ago highly talented waiting for their stud QB Vick to get back and rake points while celebrating their trade for the top tight end Gates scoring like a receiver looked to be a legitimate championship contender..now a loss to the Purple Cobras coupled with Gates being in a walking boot and Kolb looking to be the starter in Philly this team is in complete dissaray. I still think the Kings have enough to get it done but they can't afford to blow anymore gimme games.

CURRENT PLAYOFF PICTURE

6. Carolina Falcons 3-3 AT 3. Weiner Dogz 4-2

5. Panthers 4-2 AT 4. Heels 4-2

1. U.Gators 5-1 and 2. Ducks 4-2 (BYES)


I think there's only 3 of these teams locked in for sure and that's the U.Gators, Panthers, and Heels(due to their soft schedule and heck they're just beating people). The Panthers may drop another one next week with Peyton and Wayne out but they're definitely a playoff team.

Rayz make two trades

TRADE 1

Pirates Get: HB Green-Ellis

Rayz Get: 3rd and 6th round picks


TRADE 2


Copperheads Get: 3rd and 5th round picks,HB B.Jackson, WR Branch

Rayz Get: WR Harvin and WR Ward

GFFL 3rd of the way through

EAST Division Contenders: Panthers 4-1, U.Gators 4-1

CENTRAL Division Contenders: Ducks 4-1, Heels 3-2, P.Cobras 2-3, I.Classics 2-3

WEST Division Contenders: W.Dogz 3-2, C.Falcons 2-3, Kings 2-3

WILDCARD Contenders: Everyone except Copperheads

Teams that are DONE: Copperheads 1-4

It's crazy to be 5 games through the year and still have this cluttered picture the only teams that look to be playoff locks are the Panthers and U.Gators. I'll still make some predictions though.

EAST CHAMPION: U.Gators - looking forward to that week 11 showdown with the Panthers which may decide the division crown.

CENTRAL CHAMPION: I.Classics - getting behind early and I expect them to stay behind the Ducks until the week 13 and 14 back to back match ups with the Ducks where they will still the central with two victories.

WEST CHAMPION: Carolina Falcons - The most talented team in the West trading away Gates hurt but I still think this former two time champion has enough to get back to the post season.

WILDCARD SEED #4: Panthers - Easily a top 2 team in the league and could very well be the East Division winner but whoever loses it will be a lock for the four seed I think that'll be the Panthers.

WILDCARD SEED #5: Kings - Getting Gates was huge, behind on a lot of the tiebreakers already makes the road a little bit harder than it should be but I think the Kings finally end their playoff drought.

WILDCARD SEED #6: Weiner Dogz - The defending champions squeak in and maybe ready to have a little run, Rivers,Forte,Austin solid core definitely good enough to find a way into the dance.

Straight Cash Homey

Power Rankings Week 5

1. Unbeaten Gators 4-0 PRV. #1 - Continuing to put up wins, have a huge match up looming against the Panthers the 2nd team on this list for supremacy in the East and the league.

2. Panthers 3-1 PRV. #2 - Demolished the Rayz and the Colts loss, a great week for the Panthers. It's looking more and more like Peyton and Wayne will be available for the fantasy playoffs for once which would be huge for the Panthers title chances. Can they beat division leader U.Gators this week?

3. Carolina Falcons 2-2 PRV. #6 - This team looks like the real deal and with wins over the Panthers and Kings this team has to move up to 3rd. I'll say it now the Carolina Falcons should be heavily favored for the division crown in the West.

4. Instant Classics 2-2 PRV. #3 - Starting to get a little worried about this team CJ isn't having a bad season but it's nowhere near an MVP caliber season SJAX is slowed by his groin while PT doesn't look to live up to the hype and the Classic's receiving core is a mess. With saying all that I still think this team takes the Central.

5. Heels 3-1 PRV. #9 - Notched a big win and sitting at 3-1 it's not crazy to think with the McCoy/Best combo this team could challenge for the Central.

6. Kings 1-3 PRV. #4 - Soft two weeks coming up will be 3-3 in a bit but losing to the C.Falcons hurt big time, I still see a wildcard in their future but if they want a division title they'll have to step it up.

7. Ducks 3-1 PRV. #7 - Not putting up big points at all but hey a win is a win and sitting at 3-1 at this point of the year makes a chance at a playoff run very possible.

8. Rayz 1-3 PRV. #5 - This team is in complete dissaray and the schedule doesn't get any easier playing against a Pirates team that can put up points without Moss, a strong Carolina Falcons team, the Instant Classics, then the Panthers again they could very well come out of this stretch at 2-6 with 6 games to go including back to back games against the U.Gators to finish the year.

9. Weiner Dogz 2-2 PRV. #8 - Not scoring a lot of points but they're still tied for the lead in the West if they want a real shot at winning it and showing they're the defending champs beating the Carolina Falcons this week is a must win.

10. Pirates 1-3 PRV. #10 - As I've said before the Pirates really aren't this bad it's just the division they play in but if they beat the Rayz they'll move into the single digits.

11. Copperheads 1-3 PRV. #11 - Still play in the West, crazier things have happened if they can get lucky in a couple divisional games maybe? As I say every week though this is your 2011 Western Division Champion.

12. Purple Cobras 1-3 PRV. #12 - Team has a glimmer of hope for next year with good keepers and picks but drastic things would have to happen for this team to get in the playoffs.
