Quick look at the IFL after 46.1538% of the Season has been completed



There you have the standings. We're now officially six-thirteenths of the way through the 2007 IFL season, and everyone's been through their division once, so let's see how things stack up as we head into Week 7 sponsored by the Lawrence Phillips Halfway House. It's gonna be a wild pennant race, that's for sure.

Tone Money's Kanes are the only 5-1 team in the league, and they are the only team in complete control of their division, with that big 3-game lead out West. Poor John E and his Lizard Kings are 0-6 and all but eliminated...one more loss and you can stick a fork in him. Don't think he'll clam up and mail it in though, John is notorious for spoiling other people's seasons. Pimps are looking really, really, really bad, having not scored over 100 in 4 weeks (losing all 4 games also). Dragons aren't looking great either, but they certainly aren't out of it yet, with the mental toughness of the Wo-Man (he sharpens his brain by doing 27 Sudokus a day).

The East is tight from top to bottom, with only 1.5 games separating first and last place. Christ's BCB are the highest scoring team in the league (and highest in their division by far), but going 1-2 in their last 3, they have the look of a 6-7 team. And when you have Mike P's Mud Dogs w/ Brady and Chaos's Dead Beats w/ LT in the division, unpredictability will ensue. Hit Squad has been getting by on freak QB play by Kitna and D Anderson, despite a down year for LJ. And RVG brings up the caboose, but he's the 2nd highest scoring team in the division (Palmer-to-TJ). Look out for him. Also we'll see if the hideous tie between RVG and Mike P will come back to haunt or help anyone.

The Central is the most interesting race right now, w/ 3 teams tied at 4-2 atop the division. CTRU may have the edge in that they are the highest scoring team in the division, along w/ the 3-1 div record and the most lucrative TV contract. Notice the horrifically low points per game for ND though, making them look suspiciously fraudulent. 9 Fingers are on a 2-game slide, we'll see how Shu bounces back from adversity. One more loss and he'll probably jump in front of a bus. Saggy Ballbaggy Bob has his Ballbusters in top form, only a game back, and w/ Adrian Peterson he is the odds-on favorite to win the league. Meatballs are their usual selves, but put together their first ever 2-game winning streak to make themselves look respectable. Do not be fooled, they are not to be respected. j/k we love Meatball (when he's on top of our spaghetti and especially when he's on our schedule).
