And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 8:

Baltimorons (-1/2) vs. Misfits, Inc.
These two have even records and an even matchup. The 'Morons get a few much needed stars back from their bye week, but FitzCorp has the RBs to earn a win (provided they are all healthy). It could honestly be the season's first tie.

Dumbbums (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers
The Stompers hold the longest current winning streak at four games. But it's looking like injuries to a few key players will tip the scale to the 'Bums (who would be pushed to W-3). Not bad after they were in last place just two weeks ago. It's going to come right down to the wire on MNF.

Phys. Ed. Phenoms (-1) vs. Renegades
It's always a fun game when these two meet for house bragging rights. It's just a shame that it's not looking like it will be much fun for Coach Val this year. The Renegades need a big Thursday night to have a chance, but even then it seems like PEP will still have the advantage.

Predacons (-1/2) vs. the HAW
Hmm. These two underperforming teams battle in what should be a great game this week. They have the two highest scoring projections and it will be helpful for one of them to pick up another win. The CAPS start things off tonight, but it all comes down to a player from each team going on Sunday Night to wrap things up.

Marauders (-1/2) vs. Spiked Vipers
The Marauders unfortunate season continues. They've now lost six in a row and have the lowest scoring total in the league. Pair that with the highest points against and it's no wonder they remain in last place. A turnaround could start this week against SpiVi, though, with the matchups and bye weeks favoring Coach Hoss's team. But are they really starting the Steelers D against the undefeated Eagles?

And the game of the week...

Lightning (-1/2) vs. Yuengling Brewers
It's our mid-season SuperBowl! #1 vs. #2 (in the standings and in scoring) face off in another even matchup this week. It really could go either way and it will most likely depend on what happens with those Qs by gametime. And if Stefon Diggs can complete the comeback for the Bolts on SNF to retain the top spot.

Happy Halloween and good luck this week!
