And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 9:

Baltimorons (-1) vs. Stiletto Stompers
These two are right next to each other in the standings even though the 'Morons have scored 111 more points this season. It's supposed to be a blowout and the Stompers aren't helping to counteract that projection by starting a WR tonight who is on IR.

Dumbbums (-1/2) vs. Lightning
Our two blue helmet with red background teams (FYI - there are a lot of new logo designs to pick from this year) face off in a matchup that's difficult to predict. Mostly because the Bolts do not currently have a QB on their roster who is going to play in an NFL game this week.

Marauders (-1/2) vs. Phys. Ed. Phenoms
On the other hand, the Marauders have three starting QBs on their team at the moment. Coach Hoss's choice could be the difference in this game, as could the five combined players going in tonight's Texans/Jets battle.

Predacons (-1) vs. Spiked Vipers
The Preds jumped up into the top spot after last week's win and are also leading the league in scoring. Meanwhile SpiVi is in last place and hasn't won in 10 straight games, and they're also our lowest scoring team. So what do those things mean? Nothing. It's the 3FL and we all know that anything can happen.

the HAW (-1/2) vs. Misfits, Inc.
They may have matching records but the CAPS have scored almost 20 more points per game than FitzCorp after our first eight weeks. This one seems like it will be closer than that margin, though. Coach HAW might have to deal with a third straight game that's decided by two or fewer points.

And the game of the week...

Yuengling Brewers (-1/2) vs. Renegades
Last week the Brew Crew outscored everyone else in the league while the Renegades had our lowest score. That will not be the case again here. Our matchup of the #2 and #3 teams will be tight, with two 'Gades SNF players giving way to two Beermen on MNF as they try to complete a comeback.

Happy Halloween and good luck this week!
