Week #9, January 13-January 19
A spread of +5.0 is the bottom line most of the time (there are no absolutes in fantasy basketball) to give a team a much better than average chance of winning. Spread differential in order of first to last (W-L record shown for the week) with previous weeks results listed underneath the most recent week, week #8 for comparison.

Comment: Whoa! A spread explosion. The Pups had not been able to crack the 5.0 barrier through the first 8 weeks and then, like Roger Bannister breaking the 4 minute mile barrier, they shatter through with a 6+! Woolbright & Toppin got some help from Nelly Joseph & Raynaud. All right!

The teams with real strength have emerged, some from a slumber, and, they are not going to be retreating back into their caves.
