Just one week after our last undefeated team lost a game, the Baystate Wicked Cheatahs follow suit by grabbing their first win of the season, finishing off a 9-game losing streak. And this wasn't a lucky strike against an absentee manager, either -- the Chicago Rhyparographers were the victims, and lost their 1-game advantage over the second-place team in Caption This as a result.

This puts them in rather precarious company where the playoffs are concerned. As it stands, there are six teams with the same 7-3 record. When you add the 9-1 Headbangers to the list, that leaves only one playoff spot (theoretically) available to somebody who doesn't yet have their seventh win. Which in turn means that a bad streak in our three remaining regular season games could still wash one or more of those teams out of playoff contention!

Cometh the couplets...

As promised last week, Your Mom is giving us another Game of the Week in Week 11, as The Hooligans try to snap out of a 2-game losing streak against the Great Lakes Steamers. Tough matchups last week had the Irish-men performing well below their usual point totals, and if they'd started their other Indianapolis RB they would've gotten the win. But Josh will be looking to avenge his team's narrow Week 5 loss, and pulling the top team in the division down into the scrum with a win would be sweet revenge.

Thursday Night Football means this game is already in progress, and Brett Favre's put up 22 points for The Hooligans while Wes Welker has countered with 15.8 for the Steamers. Still anybody's game so far...

Tune in next week for more Predicate Pigskin!
