Despite leaving Alex Smith (17.88) on the bench, I Got Sacks On Sacks On Sacks was lead in scoring by Rob Gronkowski (26.60) and LeSean McCoy (18.70) as the St. Pete ConVICKS wasted big efforts from Matthew Stafford (29.28), Matt Forte (15.40), Randall Cobb (14.50) and Miles Austin (13.30).
#5 Weapons of Mass Production (5-3) landed in this weeks blow out game as they easily handled Peyton’s Girl (2-6).

The NC Bad Boys (3-5) got a much needed win this week as they took out the BUCKNASTYS BOYS (2-6). The NC Bad Boy’s Peyton Manning (24.60), Brandon Lloyd (14.80) and LB-Philip Wheeler (14.00) were just too much for the BUCKNASTYS BOY’S Marshawn Lynch (18.60) and Eric Decker (16.30).
Lastly, top ranked #1 Maclin on Your Girl (7-1), got their 7th straight victory, this time slipping by DemBoys (4-4). Maclin on Your Girl’s “Big Guns” Tom Brady (28.46) and Percy Harvin (19.20) continue to produce monster numbers as DemBoy’s Julio Jones (20.20) couldn’t keep pace. DemBoy’s Stevan Ridley (18.70) sideline performance could have been the difference.
