So here's the skinny on the title race: Paul is still in the driver's seat to win the title. If he wins this weekend against Nick he will clinch. If he loses, Dan T. or Jeremie can still catch him, but they must not only win their respective games but must also make up significant point defecits. Jer trails Paul by 62 points, and Dan trails by 84.5. Will be a difficult task but it can be accomplished. In the points race, Paul leads Uncle Joe by 46 and Jeremie by 62. Still a fairly tight race there. We will have all our answers after this week's action.

THIS WEEK'S MATCHUPS:
Nick (Vengeance) vs. Paul (Strictly Business). Paul wins, he clinches. Nick wins, he potentially plays a major spoiler role.
Dan L. (Hebrew Hammer) vs. Jeremie (Shorn Beaver). Jeremie needs to win a score major points if he is to win the title. Against Dan L., at least one is almost certain.
Dan T. (DanT's Inferno) vs. Tom (SanDiego Spankfest). Dan has a tough task ahead of him against a strong foe if he wants to secure the title.
Dennis (Sinned 76ers) vs. Marc (Ivana Green Booger). Anyone got a can of air freshener?
Uncle Joe (Mongrles) vs. Kevin (Motor City Madmen). They almost had it all, but fell just short. Now they look to take their frustrrations out on each other.
Eddie (Full Hairy Jacket) vs. Sean (Iron Insanity). Sean looks to build momentum for what will be his first full season against Eddie, who has been much better than his last-place record.
LEAGUE NEWS & NOTES:
-There is Saturday night action this week with potentially historic implications. The Pats will battle the Giants with a perfect 16-0 record on the line. If you have any players on either team you want to play, please be sure you have them in your lineup on time.
