Week 9 begins the second half of the season. It is also the final week of a four-week stretch featuring all out-of-divisional matchups. Over that span the National League has a 9-6 head-to-head edge, causing come separation in the American League standings and a tight battle in the National League. The division leaders will matchup in the Game of the Week. Both sitting at 7-1 Tormenta and A II P can make early claim as the team to beat heading into the seasons second half. Tormenta has won four straight and incredibly has yet to score below 110 points in a game this season. A II P has been a less explosive team this season but they've been steady enough to earn wins on a consistent basis. They'll be without Matthew Stafford this week so they'll need a big game from backup qb Tony Romo to match Tormenta high-scoring attack. In other Week 9 matchups, Lake Show looks to earn a second consecutive victory as they face a 3-5 O's team that has scored over 100 points in five straight weeks; the 69ers look to bounce back from losing two of the last three weeks to stay in the division race. They matchup against a 328's team that has surpassed 100 points in five of the last six weeks (despite only winning two of them); H is quietly in contention in the National League after three straight impressive wins. They'll go for four straight against a United team that has struggled with consistency since the 3-1 start (going 1-3 and scoring below 100 points in all four weeks); Lightning has had a really rough past three weeks (going 0-3 and scoring below 74 points per game in all three weeks). They'll meet up with a Tomcats team that has also struggled the last two weeks but remains well in the mix to earn it's first Prestige Playoff berth since 2007.
