We just witnessed a 20+ point comeback for a 1 point victory thanks to the MNF double header. And suddenly we're halfway through our regular season. What's in store for the next seven weeks?
Thankfully we get break from the byes this week. All NFL teams are scheduled to play.

Bye Week: None
And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 8:
Baltimorons (-1/2) vs. Yuengling Brewers
This one is going to be fun. Both teams are in the top five and are currently on two game winning streaks. The matchups give a slight edge to the 'Morons, but they also have to hope that some of those Qs clear up before Sunday afternoon.
Predacons (-1/2) vs. Marauders
The Preds outscored everyone last week and have been on the good side of the biggest blowout for four out of the past five weeks. And the Marauders got just enough from a couple MNF players to close a 21 point gap and win by one. Both of these things are unlikely to happen again here, especially the second one since there are no scheduled prime time games for either team.
the HAW (-1/2) vs. Dumbbums
Not only did the CAPS have to endure the previously mentioned comeback and lose by a single point (after scoring 115), but they now sit out of the playoff eight despite being the second-highest scoring team in the league. They have another tough battle this week and the 'Bums own our current longest winning streak at three games. Can they make it four?
Lightning (-1/2) vs. Renegades
Coach Val remains on top, but she shouldn't sleep on this game. Even though they sit in 10th place, the Bolts are actually favored in the projections and they have a real shot at their third victory. A Frieirmuuuuuth MNF comeback would make it even more sweet.
Misfits, Inc. (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers
It's a contest that rests on the attention of the managers to swap out injured/suspended players, and I'm not sure if/when that will happen. It's hard to predict at this point but let's go with the team that has scored an average of ~2 more PPW this season.
And the game of the week...
Phys. Ed. Phenoms (-1) vs. Spiked Vipers
Our bottom two teams face off in what will give one a bit of hope and the other a near impossible chance at the postseason. SpiVi hasn't won in nine weeks and PEP has only earned a victory once so far this year (back in W3). The Phenoms are the definite favorites here, but it will come down to two Steelers on Monday Night to seal the game.
Good luck this week.
