Texan’s Week 7 Picks
Usual disclaimer: this is my opinion only. If you don’t like it, I still love you.
Welcome to 90s movie week. A few of my favs from the decade.
Picks record this season: 86-10
Naga
Game of the Week
Palembang Drunken Monks (6-0) v Woody Island Wolverines (4-2)
WIW seems to have stepped up their game recently and they almost took out VT earlier. The Monks had a tough time but managed to get by VT last week. The Monks won last season 40-27 and earlier this season in a ranked scrim 26-21. Looks pretty close so I’ll be doing my best Pulp Fiction http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZBfmBvvotE impression as I call in the Wolf. Monks 31, WIW 21
Other Games
Portland Dirty Penguins (6-0) v Royal Blue Drunken Smurfs of Funkalicious Labatt (5-1)
Ah, sibling rivalry at its finest. While the Smurfs were anointed the eventual heir to the Royal throne, PDP wants to push them around first. While the Smurfs are certainly ahead of schedule in the rebuilding process, PDP is looking very good this season. I’m pretty sure amo is planning on doing his best Braveheart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBXBtORI7pE in trying to take down the future king. PDP 42, Smurfs 21
Victoria Teabaggers (5-1) v Wichita Black Magic (2-4)
VT played a tough defensive contest with the Monks last time out, so they know they can hang come playoff time. WBM’s only two wins are against CPU teams, but hey they’re wins. They’ll probably be lucky to put up Se7en http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4YV2_TcCoE on VT. VT 65, WBM 7
Cult of Personality (5-1) v Semarang Red Bulls (0-6)
Ah, the final charge of the Red Bulls continues. The Goodfellas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo5jJpHtI1Y over at CoP should have no problems here. CoP 255, Semarang 0
Sainte Foy Cyclones (4-2) v Golden Hill Bones (3-3)
This is an interesting game. The loser could look back at this one and see this as the reason they didn’t make the playoffs, who knows. Time to start up that Fight Club http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QgFWXLN-ug and see who takes the initiative in that long playoff marathon to the big dance. GHB 23, SFC 21
Benton Harbor Havoc (3-3) v Bandar Lampung Pigskin Pirates (3-3)
This is another great matchup between teams that will be fighting for those last few playoff spots this season. The loser is really giving themselves a tough row to hoe, but it’s not as if they’ll be Unforgiven http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Df0KtJ01Ew for a loss. There’s still time. BLPP 31, BHH 24
Tibetan Drunk Monks (3-3) v Hong Kong Hustlers (0-6)
TDM has been playing pretty well this season but they need to break their losing streak to keep in the playoff mix. The perfect recipe? CPU. They’ll keep walking that Thin Red Line http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCmlOhsIwBk of the 8th spot for now. TDM 220, HKH 3
Las Vegas Dirty Hookers (0-6) v Singapore Slingers (0-6)
It had to happen at some point. One of these teams will finally pick up a win. LVDH actually came close previously v SFC while SS has yet to come close. One of them will be picking up The Remains of the Day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1_5yToFwxY after another tough loss. LVDH 33, SS 17

lolgaruda
Game of the Week
Three Kingdom Warriors (6-0) v Phu Khao Bow Chicka Brown Cows (5-1)
Easily the best game this week in lolgaruda. The Cows are fresh off of their “upset” of KFA and now they look to keep climbing the ladder against a TKW team that has created a body count higher than Saving Private Ryan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwhP5b4tD6g over the years. They both had some trouble with MKC but TKW fared better there. TKW 35, Cows 24
Other Games
SDSU Aztecs (6-0) v NBA Jam Extreme (3-3)
This is pretty interesting. Both of these teams will make the playoffs but this game may tell us a little bit about how good they’ll do when they get there. SDSU has yet to be challenged even a little bit. Does NBA show up or do they get dunked on like some expansion team from Fargo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB4PmbfG4bw SDSU 30, NBA 27
Buffalo Rampage (4-2) v Island of Misfit Toys (1-5)
You almost have to feel bad for IMT in this game because Buffalo seems to be playing with attitude right now. Their improved D made Boston look Dazed and Confused http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_eTV4lRJYU on offense and I suspect more of the same here. Buffalo 185, IMT 0
Wu Dang Kung Fu Academy (4-2) v Tanzania Lumberjacks (2-4)
Both teams suffered painful losses last week in close games, so which one shows up mad this week? Will it even matter of TL shows up angry or will KFA make them look like Clerks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNd8nvnmhyM playing hockey on the roof of their convenience store? Wu 75, TL 13
Boston Bears (3-3) v Mandalay King Cobras (2-4)
It’s time for one of these teams to step up. They both are under-achieving with their talent right now and it’s time one steps up for a playoff run. For a couple of Usual Suspects http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MjV4EwR7Mg in the win column they haven’t looked it thus far. MKC 35, Boston 21
Krakow Kryptonite (3-3) v Shanghai Tigers (1-5)
Did KK save their season by beating MKC last time out? That remains to be seen but they better not sleep on the high flying Tigers. They may be more Mallrats http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eVo7aBze1w than playoff contenders but they do have a dangerous offense. Krakow 38, Tigers 28
Atlantic Great Whites (3-3) Destin Leviathans (2-4)
Both of these teams are hanging around but if losses pile up they could find themselves a Fugitive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AewLnfWIAcw from playoff contention. Destin has played the top tier teams a little closer thus far. Destin 28, AGW 24
Halifax Harpoons (2-4) v Bourbontown BlueCats (0-6)
Don’t call it a comeback. If there is one thing HH does not lack it’s effort. They got some Shawshank Redemption http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0RZNIFZxoY in their season by fighting past TL and now they should handle the BBC and take them right off the air. HH 42, BBC 28
