View the Week 7 Game Center

This week will officially complete the first half of the PFFL regular season (yes, already!). On the schedule in week 7, there are 3 division matchups and they are all of different types. One will determine whether the Central is a one- or two- team race. Another features two teams currently in the middle of the pack in the East. And the final one matches the undefeated first place team in the West with a dangerous cellar dweller. On top of the division excitement, four of the seven games this week match up teams who have played at least 12 times in the course of PFFL history, and who have very close all-time records.

Week 7 Matchups

  • DDT and The Hip meet for the 13th time in a series that has run continuously since 2001. The regular season series is led by DDT, 6-5, but the all-time matchup is squared up at 6 wins a piece based on The Hip’s championship win over DDT in ‘02. This is the first time these teams are meeting in a week 7 game.
  • SIAP will battle CSPJ for the sixth time, but first after a season off in ‘07. CSPJ won the first 3 of the 4 regular season meetings, with SIAP getting its first regular season win in 2006. SIAP’s other win in the series came in the opening round of the 2003 playoffs.
  • Double D holds a 6-1 series lead over Kramerica, including two wins in week 7 affairs. These clubs have battled every year since 2003 and Kramerica’s only win was in the finale of the 2004 regular season. That win ended a 3-game DD win streak in the matchup, which is also what DD has right now. This game looks to figure heavily in the playoff race, if not the East division chase.
  • Tappa Kegga Day and Turd Ferguson have played 15 times, including meeting in every season except 2003. TKD leads the matchup 8-7 (that includes a split in their 2 postseason meetings), and has won four in a row. Turd’s last victory over TKD came in week 3 of the 2004 season. Turd can take solace in the fact that the only time these two played in week 7 (2001), Turd won 133-102.
  • Post Mortem takes an undefeated record into a battle with 1-5 Camel Toe. These clubs have only met once before, in week 14 of the 2007 season. Camel won that game, 84.24 – 68.63.
  • Meeting for the 13th time, Hedfullalicker and WBM have each won 6 games in this series (one of WBM’s wins was in the playoffs). With the exception of a two-game run by Hed in 2000, this is a back-and-forth series with alternating winners. WBM won the last meeting, in the 2006 championship game. This is the first time WBM and Hedfull are playing in week 7.
  • The Jedi Masters are looking to make a move in the Central against SaaBB, who hasn’t lost since week 1. This will be the 15th overall meeting of these teams in a series that is tied at SaaBB leads 8-6, but has dominated 8-4 in the regular season. The Jedis beat SaaBB by 23 in their last meeting, week 1 of last season. Only once have these teams played in week 7. In 1999, The Jedi Masters beat SaaBB, 79-63.

Milestone Watch

  • Post Mortem is hoping to become only the 2nd team to complete the first half of a PFFL season undefeated. A win this week would also give PM their first ever 7-game regular season win streak.
  • Winning Beer Money is hoping to stop their losing streak at 5 games. A loss this week would give them the longest losing streak in their franchise history.
  • SaaBB looks for their 80th regular season victory.
  • DDT looks for their 60th regular season win.
  • TKD wants to avoid a 75th regular season loss.
  • Post Mortem will try to tie SIAP’s record of 48 division wins.

PFFL Survivor Immunity

Kramerica has immunity in Survivor this week as the final 7 will be determined.

Preview Babe

This is Deanna Russo, whose intense blue eyes and frequent cleavage baring attire can be seen on Knight Rider, a series which has returned with a lead actor less lame than David Hasselhoff, but with a lamely-voiced (by Val Kilmer) KITT and a little too much influence from the Transformers movie.
