The Top Ten: Week 8

Commentary: The favorites keep on rolling, and the Funny Money franchises have reaped the benefits. In what was reported as the worst financial loss for Vegas in history, four Funny Money teams wagered their wild cards and all four won. The biggest nailbiter of the week was Waldo Geraldo Faldo’s New Orleans wager. The Saints were down by 27 with the spread in the first half, came back, almost gave up a late TD, but then eked out a cover. The rich got richer, with a crowded overall leaderboard. After next week, we reach the halfway point of the season.

(current total; last week’s ranking)

1. Rick Moranis ($2,500; 1)
Rick cashed in on the Chargers and won $300 on the week, but now there is a whole pack of franchises nipping at his heels.

2. Babe ($1,900; 2)
A perfect week for Babe. It is important to note that only one of the seven teams (Blossom Russo) has used their wild card bet. Babe holds the lead in the division for now.

3. Art Schlichter ($1,700; 3)
A flawless week for Art as well has him right behind Babe.

4. Larisa Oleynik ($1,800; 5)
Entering Week 7 tied for the division, Larisa whipped out the wild card and won $1,000 for the week. Now Larisa is right back where she was a few weeks ago. We’ll see if she can hold the lead this time.

5. Don Mattingly ($1,700; 4)
Don won another $500 but needs to remain consistent week-to-week if he is going to give Rick a run for his money.

6. T-Ferg ($1,100; 6)
At this point it sounds like a broken record, but Ferg also had a perfect week and kept Rick and Don in his sights in the West.

7. Mr. Marbles ($1,100; 8 )
Mr. Marbles? He’s harmless! He won $500 but is still $800 off the division lead.

8. Teddy KGB ($1,300; 10)
The good news is that Teddy won $500. The bad news is that his division leader won $1,000.

9. Waldo Geraldo Faldo ($1,100; NR)
Waldo rises out of the South with a $1,000 week. His lead is slim, but he made a bold bet and it paid off.

10. Bayonnaise ($800; NR)
With the west coast beaches in his future, Bayonnaise hit a $1,000 week, too. He must be reminded that bets must be placed by midnight eastern time, which will undoubtedly result in at least $800 in fines from here on out.

OTHERS RECEIVING VOTES: Slovy Maximus; Yaz; Blossom Russo.

DROPPED OUT: Kenny Powers; Slovy Maximus.
