Week II

...Ricky Williams looks like a BDFL Tarzan, but plays like Jane more often than not when it comes to piling up points.  ELVO (Wizard's Note: The Wizard has a rug in his den that looks just like the one on Danny Sheridan's head) sees this one as a pick'em meaning the Wizard and ELVO finally find something they agree on.

The Wizard wins the 2003 BDFL Prognosticator of the Year 61-58 over ELVO

The Wizard takes his seventh consecutive Prognosticator of the Year (POTY) award by edging the Evil Las Vegas Oddsmakers 61-58

LA LA LAND - The Wizard pulled perhaps his biggest hat out of the bag in 2003 to out wit the Evil Las Vegas Oddsmakers (ELVO) in the battle for the BDFL's Prognosticator of the Year (POTY) award. Down four games after Week 14, the Wizard got extremely hot over the last three weeks to edge their nemesis for another season.

Week 17 Pigskin Prognostications    By Spaceman Spiff

Wooden Warriors vs. Cheetahs

“Hollywood” Hand and his “Tinseltown Tribesmen” have left the rest of the BDFL star-struck with a wire-to-wire run in the Green Horn Division, and plan to shine even brighter on the BDFL’s biggest stage when they take on Butch Neal’s “Heavenly Whores” in the Big Daddy Bowl II. Regardless of the outcome, a new BDFL champion will be welcomed to the club of former champs (tainted titles not included) by the end of the day. Both teams have proven throughout the season that they are clearly the frontrunners in their respective divisions, and will finally square off to decide who is “King of the BDFL Peckin’ Order.” Nevertheless, it is up to someone like the Great Wizardo to reach deep into his bag of tricks to find out who will be the last man standing, and says the “Sin Wagon” will give the Tribe a roll in the hay that they won’t soon forget.

Wizard’s Winner…the Cheetahs. WON

Dogs vs. Bootleggers

Jon Wood and his "Possum Poachers" (Don't laugh, it's a delicacy in Bristol) hit the huntin' trail this weekend with high hopes of screwin' the pooch come Sunday afternoon, but may find that the "Five Mile Crick Canines" have more than enough bite to go along with their bark. Both teams struggled in Week 16, but the Great Wizardo sees the "Tirebiters" giving the Bootleggers and their big, black Dodge more than they can handle come Sunday. Besides, the Wizard always has been fond of the smell of whiskey burnin' almost as much as napalm, particularly in the morning.

Wizard's Winner…the Dogs. WON

Gamblers vs. Wizards

Last weekend Kenny Breal and his "banana-eatin' Bayou Diamond Dingers" dialed eight enough times at the expense of the "Wounded Wand Wavers" to run up a considerable tab, and have every intention of doing the same thing come Sunday when these two have a rematch to determine third place. However, the "Arts & Croissant" crowd was less than thrilled at the boorish manners the Gamblers displayed in trouncing the Wizards, and have a few tricks up their sleeves, and some cards, too, to cash out as the winner this time around. The Wizardo doesn't promise Merlin will prevail, but does think the Gamblers will be holding aces and eights (a Dead Man's Hand) when the last card is dealt.

Wizard's Winners…the Wizards. LOST

Bullets vs. Grenades

The Hand clan has had an overall strong year in '03, and these two are no exception with both teams surging late in the last half of the season to gain more than a modicum of respectability. The "Grain Sprangs Groundhogs" have punished opponents with a withering ground game that has taken their fall offensive well into enemy territory. And the Great Wizardo fears the "Shag King Confederacy" may fare no better stopping the Grenades than his predecessors did slowing down Sherman when he went through Atlanta during the Civil War like a dose of sauce through a widow woman. The Wizard sees the Grenades blitzkrieg continuing in their march to the sea.

Wizard's Winner…the Grenades. LOST

Power Sleds vs. Blades

The Wizard always says ya' don't bring a knife to a gunfight, and Lyle Arrington found that out last weekend when his "Sorry Sabers" got cut off at the knees in a Week 16 blow out loss to the Bullets. The Blades will look for a shot at redemption, or at least a photo opportunity, when they square off with the "Sleigh Riders in the Night" this weekend. Fortunately for Lyle, the PowerSleds have suffered from rolling black outs much of the year, and the Wizard doesn't see their energy demands being met this Sunday either.

Wizard's Winner…the Blades. WON

Mayors vs. Juggernauts

In the "Bottom Feeder" bowl, the two teams that bring up the caboose of their respective divisional trains have one last chance to build momentum for next season. There is little question the JuggerHOTS come into the game as the steamiest of two normally frigid teams racking up their best ever score last weekend, and may want to consider using the same mixture of bras and rice to fuel their hopes of rolling up big numbers again this week. The Wizardo sees this one as a toss-up between two forgettable teams, but will take the Juggernauts and the points.

Wizard's Winner…the Juggernauts. LOST

Sloth Monsters vs. Woosiers

Tommy Todd and his "Lobotomy-and-some-tights" wearing grapplers have managed to gain some respectability late in the season after languishing at the bottom of the Gray Beard Division most of the year while the "Groovy Ghoulies" have never found the rhythm that carried them to a BDFL title two years ago. The Sloth Monsters have also discovered, as the Wizards did for the previous several years, why Ricky Williams looks like a BDFL Tarzan, but plays like Jane more often than not when it comes to piling up points.  ELVO (Wizard's Note: The Wizard has a rug in his den that looks just like the one on Danny Sheridan's head) sees this one as a pick'em meaning the Wizard and ELVO finally find something they agree on.

Wizard's Winner…the Sloth Monsters. WON
