After a weak week from the South Division the North pumped up the point ampage to jump more than 11.1 points ahead. The North also is able to brag about two undefeated teams as the South still looks at three teams without a win.

WEEK 4 Analysis

I did an analysis of each unbeaten & winless team for week 4... Here are the results

Raleigh Lightning vs. Carolina Mud Dogs - As the 2003 PTL Champions continue their course towards the playoffs they now meet up with the seeminly unstoppable Raleigh Lightning. But there is a glitch in the Lightning game plan. Many of the players they had been relying on are now in a bye-week. 4 of their most important starters will not be playing this week, giving the Mud Dogs an important edge. We still expect the game to be close, but the Mud Dogs should come up on top. Expect the Lightning to continue their winning in week 5, just not in week 4
RIGHT - Mud Dogs Won

Tempered Onyx vs. The Culture Club - Although the Onyx also has starters on a bye week, they are retaining many of their most important scorers. The Culture Club has been struggling to find a groove (mainly because Chicago is in the same boat), and will not be able to stop the Onyx's winning streak, or stop their very own winless streak. Onyx should be 4-0 after W4, and the Culture Club should tie the PTL record of 4 losses in a row since the start of the season
RIGHT - Onyx Won

HP Lampshades vs. Goo Crew - in the classic High Point match up these two rivals will put their all into this game. The Goo Crew need the win to get back to .500, and the Lampshades are looking to continue their winning streak. We expect the Lampshades to be able to douse the Crew with some ampage and go into week 5 with yet another win.
RIGHT - Lampshades Win

And now the losers..... Week 3 still had 3 winless teams. Here is an update on their upcoming games

That's My B*tch vs. PT Bruisers - On paper this game looks like the PT Bruisers would be able to man-handle the B*tches, but in the match up there are several problems that could arise for the Green & Purple (Bruisers). If the Panthers do well, so do the Bruisers, If the Chiefs do well, so do the B*tches. The Panthers play the Packers on Monday night,and with the Pack 0-3 this season they will be playing with all their might to finally win won. In our opinion, so will the B*tches as they finally come up with a "W".
WRONG - Bruisers Won

PT Riptides vs. Kryptonite - Wow, you couldn't ask for a closer game. With a spread between both teams of only 2.1 points, it could go either way. So, we have to look at the players on each team. The Riptides seem to have all player in, and off bye-weeks. Unfortunately for them, however, is that several of their defensive players have been kicked off their respective teams, leaving them helpless in certain slots. The Kryptonite, on the other hand, has all but one player playing giving them the ultimate edge. Watch for the Riptides to continue their loss-streak heading into week 5.
RIGHT - Kryptonite Won

The Culture Club vs. Onyx - - Although the Onyx also has starters on a bye week, they are retaining many of their most important scorers. The Culture Club has been struggling to find a groove (mainly because Chicago is in the same boat), and will not be able to stop the Onyx's winning streak, or stop their very own winless streak. Onyx should be 4-0 after W4, and the Culture Club should tie the PTL record of 4 losses in a row since the start of the season
RIGHT - Onyx Won

Week 5

Jurocks vs. PT Riptides (43.52 Point Underdog)	HP Lampshades vs. Carolina Mud Dogs 1.07 Spread	Carolina Mud Dogs (Underdog) vs. HP Lampshades

As we go into Week 5 there are still two undefeated teams & three winless teams left in the league. If the two undefeated teams win, they will get a spot on the PTL Hall of Fame. If the winless teams lose, they will get yet another shameful spot on the losing streak PTL hall of fame. Here is a break down of what might happen

Tempered Onyx vs. Your Daddy - With only a 10 point spread this game could go either way. Both teams are plagued by bye-weeks and both teams are looking to fill over 4 spots on the roster. This game will really test the Onyx' depth. Looking back over the past four weeks of games, the Onyx would've lost to Your Daddy 3 out of 4 weeks. With Bye-week concerns and a bad history we look for the Onyx to be overtaken by the Daddies as they get a piggy-back ride to beatsville.

HP Lampshades vs. Carolina Mud Dogs - Yet another incredible close game! Also look closely to see that this one game has two weekly awards attached to it. It is Gora's Smokin' Hot Game of the Week and Tobias' Cool Hand Luke Underdog of the Week. As with the Onyx game, if we look at history, the Mud Dogs would've beat the Lampshades 3 out of the 4 past weeks. This gives the dogs the ultimate edge as the second of two unbeatens breaks it's bulb.

Now for the losers.....

That's My B*tch vs. Kryptonite - Although the Kryptonite team is not the best team in the PTL, they have been able to keep a .500 average through out the first four weeks of the season. Unfortunately, the B*tches are being plagued by the bye-week curse as four open starter spots have opened on their team in week 5. Although Kryptonite might not be the hardest team, the B*tches won't be able to snap their streak.

The Culture Club vs. Jagermeisters - Jagermeisters would've won over the Club the past 4 weeks. The Culture Club is a 42.17 Point Underdog. This is almost certain that the Jagermeisters will absolutely drink (and play) the Clubbers under the table. Point blank. Jagers win.

PT Riptides vs. Jurocks - Once again the Riptides are facing a fairly tough challenge. Although not as easy to predict as the Jager game, the Riptides definitely have more of a chance to finally get that "W". As long as the Jurocks are able to score on offense, they should be able to devour the Riptides giving them a new spot on the PTL Hall of Fame Loser Board.
