First place has a dairy problem. Omar Hasan is four wins to none against Mustafa Mohammad, and that shutout is the only history that matters. Mustafa shows up six and one anyway, two ex-cons arguing over a yard he has never won, and the booth picks Hasan without breaking a sweat.
Week eight rented one ugly table to two losing streaks and the hole gets deeper for whoever picks up the check. Issa Ali leads Ahmad Saifi three wins to two, and Saifi is the guest on a three-game slide. Prediction: Issa takes the miserable one, two anchors drowning in a kiddie pool, Raventus staying under.
If a three-game losing streak could be framed and hung, Karim Rassas would be in a lobby. Okashah leads him three wins to one lifetime and draws him while 903.6 points scored have bought Karim a losing record and a headache. Prediction: Okashah, a carry-out order with the receipt already printed, and the excuse gets muted before the box is open.
Two landlords showed up to evict one tenant and discovered they were the tenant. Series tied, both men five wins and two losses, Yousef Rassas on a four-game heater he is trying to wear as a crown. Prediction: Aziz Salem, the man who already has a ring, because Yousef's playoff book is one win and three losses.
Oxygen gets thin where Adil is standing. He is four wins and three losses, lifetime series dead even with Omar Ali, and the week is a life raft with bad manners. Prediction: he beats the three-and-four, and even is not the same thing as safe.
Somebody has to wear the league's lunch, and these two booked the week that assigns the bib. Both are two wins and five losses. Tarick leads Zaid Dabus two games to one, the commissioner still has no real quarterback week, and the booth picks Tarick in a leaking canoe that already has Zaid's name on the wet seat.
