WEEK 4 - HOW THE WEST WAS WON
=============================It was a much better week than the previous as some closer games dotted the landscape. The list of undefeated teams narrowed to three and I still hold the feeling there will not be a 16-0 team heading into the playoffs. There are some solid ball games this upcoming week so let's get to it so I can get my hair cut and run some errands on this lovely Saturday morning.
WEEK 4 PREDICTIONS:Wornout Bastards @ Auburn Tigers: The Tigers have two in a row under their belt and I suspect it will be three after the week is up.
Score: Auburn 28 Wornout 13
Nevada Hillbillie's @ Grave Diggers Union: Both teams are coming off losses but I think the Union will bounce back in this contest.
Score: Grave Diggers 31 Nevada 30
Green Bay Maulers @ Syracuse Bulldogs: Both teams are playing well coming into this clash of the Titans and I expect a higher scoring game here.
Score: Green Bay 38 Syracuse 35
Cybertron Autodots @ CrossFit Clowns: CrossFit gets a freebie after their loss.
Score: CrossFit 66 Cybertron 0
The LEGION'S Foy Destroyers @ Brotherly Love Metro Stars: This should be a solid test for the Foy Destroyers but I suspect they'll pass with flying colors.
Score: The LEGION'S 34 Brotherly Love 20
Oakland Vipers @ Aalborg 89'ers: Oakland is on a roll and the 89'ers just happen to be in their way.
Score: Oakland 66 Aalborg 6
Her Majesty's Dragons @ The NFL 2012 All Pro Selections: I have to say, I really hate this long @ss name. The NFL will roll against the CPU roster.
Score: The NFL 2012 56 Her Majesty 0
Bandit Kings @ Washington Insiders: Washington got their feet wet this past week now their ready to get their second in a row (match up bars favor the CPU but GO HUMAN TEAM).
Score: Washington 17 Bandit 13
ELITE 8:1. The LEGION'S Foy Destroyers - Business as usual in shutting down their opponent while putting a lot of points on the board.
2. Oakland Vipers - I laid the challenge down and the Vipers not only accepted but they responded in getting a big win over the Clowns.
3. Green Bay Maulers - D was able to step up and hold the Union to 78 yards but will be tested by the Bulldogs this week.
4. Syracuse Bulldogs - Bounced back with their layup win and have the Maulers this week.
5. Brotherly Love Metro Stars - Got a big win over Nevada to stay within striking distance of the top four.
6. Auburn Tigers - Got the expected shutout and will look to keep their winning streak going for a few weeks.
7. Nevada Hillbillie's - Took one on the chin this past week and will need to bounce back against the Union.
8. The NFL 2012 All Pro Selections - took out the Bastards to get the eight spot and keep Wornout out of the rankings for the first time.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Seems easy enough right now, dots are tired in the 4th and the returns take over. For the third straight week we'll have a KR/PR as POW.
KR/PR
Xerxes King, Oakland Vipers. King wore the crown on the week as he had four total returns for TD's on the week. Sure, great. when your team puts up 42 in a big win and you have 28 of those points its even better.
King had six kick returns for 215.5 yards (35.9 per return) and 1 TD. He also returned eight punts for 287 yards (35.9 per return) for three TD's. King had
With the Vipers leading in the fourth (35-24) King ended the CrossFit hopes with this TD:
