Never before in OFFL history have we had a 7-1 team, much less two. However, 10 of 12 teams in league history to reach seven wins have made the playoffs, so you have to think The Man Whores and the Tecmo Bowls are already in. With one more win, they can pretty much clinch as all eight teams in league history to win at least eight games have made the playoffs.
Cityname Sports Team is also sitting pretty at 6-2. Four of the five teams that have opened with that record have made the playoffs. Only last year's Green Iguanas didn't as they dropped four of their final five games and lost out in the 7-6 tiebreakers.
With three teams likely already in the tournament, that leaves three more spots. There are currently four 4-4 teams, and history tells us they are a coin flip for the playoffs. At 3-5, the Trough Drinkers and Nick Sabans Hair Dye also have a shot as two of seven teams to ever have that record made the playoffs, with both happening last season.
If you're 2-6 or worse, prepare to own the Team Mom.

OFFL Championship Belt
First-place The Man Whores added The Belt to their trophy collection by knocking off the Wall Street Journals, 126-99.
It is the first time since the beginning of the 2011 season the Whores have owned the Belt and the third time overall. They still hold the record for most title defenses with five in the 2009 campaign.
The last time they lost The Belt, it was to the Tecmo Bowls, who they also face this week.
Stunners Make It Two in a Row
It was a week of horrendous scores, and nothing epitomized it more than the Steeltown Stunners 70-61 win over The Widow Makers. It was the second straight win for the Stunners after an historical 0-6 start.
How bad was this matchup? Sebastian Janikowski was the leading scorer for the winning team with 14 points. Mike Williams was second with 12. Who is Mike Williams and what team does he play for?
For the Makers, Drew Brees tallied 17 points, but their starting running backs were Vick Ballard and Alex Green. Who? Exactly. Minnesota's defense didn't help with their negative-five points. I could've scored negative-five, but I'd still have to bum rides.
Tecmo Bowls Move to 7-1
 |
| Luck of the Irish |
The Tecmo Bowls rode Tom Brady and his 36 points to a 75-67 victory over the Green Iguanas to move to 7-1 on the year.
There is likely no 7-1 team in the fantasy universe that is as bad as the Tecmo Bowls. Besides Brady and Steve Smith (The Fast One), nobody on their team managed to muster more than six points. It was the third time in four weeks they won despite scoring 80 points or fewer. They may as well change their name to "The Horseshoe Up Brian Kelly's Ass."
Here in The Notes, we rip on Chad quite a bit. However, Green Iguanas owner Brian Limbaugh deserves some recognition as well. He's never made the playoffs and is now 2-6 after posting 67 points this week. We salute you, Mr. Suck-At-Fantasy-Football. You are a Real Man of Genius.
Kicker Carries Cityname to Victory
Lawrence Tynes scored 17 points and Cityname Sports Team held off Iron City Iguanas 90-87.
That's right, a kicker made the difference. Tynes outscored Robbie Gould by 12 points in a three-point win. You can imagine the frustration of the Iguanas. Well, maybe not. If you've made the playoffs before, you actually can not imagine their frustration.
Tynes was one of five players to hit double-digits for Cityname, who overcame a donut from Greg Jennings to get the win. LeSean McCoy and Julio (the J is only silent to Bama fans) Jones each went for 18 points, but it wasn't enough.
The Man Whores Explode on Wall Street Journals
Doug Martin came out of nowhere to put up 32 points and lead The Man Whores to a 126-99 victory over Wall Street Journals.
Martin wasn't alone in putting up huge numbers for the Whores. Matt Ryan laid down for 29 while Marshawn Lynch and Jason Witten each had 16.
The Journals didn't go away quietly. Peyton Manning returned to form with 30 points and Gronk added 26. However, it wasn't enough.
Vandelay Takes Down Lifeless One-Term Wonders
The One-Term Wonders continued their downward spiral with a 100-58 loss to Vandelay Industries.
The best player in the game was the Giants Defense, which had 22 points. That should tell you enough about this game. Four more players hit double figures for Vandelay in the rout.
Meanwhile, outside of Matt Forte and Darren Sproles, the Wonders were miserable. Five players scored four points or fewer, including Eli Manning. Somewhere, Dave Neal is sobbing.
Nick Sabans Hair Dye Beat Up Trough Drinkers
After winning three straight to get back to .500 at 3-3, the Trough Drinkers have gone epic bad. In the past two weeks, they have lost to the two worst teams in the league, including a 106-63 woodshed beating this week to Nick Sabans Hair Dye.
The Hair Dye are tied with Steeltown Stunners in the power rankings for the bottom spot in the OFFL. The Drinkers have lost back-to-back games against them. Besides Aaron Rodgers and Percy Harvin, everyone on the Drinkers scored six points or fewer.
Matt Stafford finally lived up to his first-round draft status by throwing for 36 points for the Hair Dye. He was bolstered by Eric Deccker and Miles Austin, who scored 16 and 13, respectively.
