Once again the North's lead over the South grew by leaps and bounds up to 21.72. If they playoffs were to start today, the North would have 5 teams, out of 8 moving towards the PTL crown. The north still sports the only undefeated team, while the South is dragging alone three winless.

WEEK 5 Analysis

I did an analysis of each unbeaten & winless team for week 5... Here are the results

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.
RIGHT - Your Daddy won

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.
WRONG - Lampshades Won

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.
Right - Kryptonie Won

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.
Right - Jagermeisters Won

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.
Right - Jurocks won

Week 6

Jagermeisters vs. Tempered Onyx (50.77 Point Underdog)	Goo Crew vs. Kryptonite 0.13 Spread	Your Daddy (Underdog) vs. GoBills!

As we go into Week 6 there is one undefeated team& still three winless teams left in the league. The Lampshades have earned their spot on the PTL Hall of Fame, and each win will inch them towards the top. 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

And then there was one.

First of all, we must congratulate the HP Lampshades on being the last undefeated team for the 2005 season. Now we need to see how long they will be undefeated.

HP Lampshades vs. Mtnears! - The Lampshades will face very tough competition from an almost bye-week free Mtnears. The lampshades will be without their starting TE, K, and D. Due to the fact that the those players aren't "essential", it will only help their chances at winning the allusive 6th in a row. Looking back to the history of these two teams, the Mtnears would've beaten the Lampshades three out of five times. But within each week, it would have been very close. This game is a very difficult call, but we believe at the PTL home office that the Mtnears are too hot a team to be denied a win. Watch for the Lampshades to lose by a slim margin.

And now... back to those loveable losers

That's My B*tch vs. Jurocks. - Given that the Jurock team is all over the place in scoring, the B*tches have a decent chance of making this a close game. Their underdog status is mainly due to several of their players on bye-weeks, and if they replace those positions they will get even closer to making this game respectable. In the past, the B*tches would've won two out of five, so all these indicators are positive in the their direction. The possible replacements, such as Tony Gonzolez & L. Johnson are very high-powered players, and would push them even closer to a "W". If Coach Vermillion gets around to replacing these players, and we think he will, the PTL believes that the B*tches will win their first game of the season

The Culture Club vs. Barenjagers - Although the B*tches have the best chance if they change their roster around, the Culture Club has the best overall chance at winning their first game if they simply sit there and do nothing. After much activity on the trading block, we believe that the Culture Club will also gain their first win of the season

PT Riptides vs. Leviathans - The poor Riptides got beat down in week 4 by the Jurocks and look to get the same treatment by the South Division's #1 team, the Leviathans. Look for the tides to be out and the PTL's worst team to be the last winless team of 2005.
