Looking Back
DommyBear lost to Air it Outtt, putting Air it Outtt at the top of the rankings, with a perfect record thru 2 weeks. Its hard to pinpoint a weakness in Air It Outtt. Rivers is 9 away from 1000 yards passing already, Darren Sproles has been getting lots of work with L.T. out, Pierre Thomas stepped up last week to make up for Brees' slightly disappointing outing... Altogether a solid team, with no injuries. Easy to understand why they lead.
Sons of Anarchy share a perfect record, again with solid players and no injuries. The One-Two punch of Kurt Warner completing to Larry Fitzgerald makes Sons an annoying team to play against, as I found out in Week 2. Just when you think your doing ok... a 40 yard touchdown pass bumps Gov's team up like a hundred points or something outrageous.
Raiderettes lost to Team Hurricain. I suspect this is because the Cowgirls quarterback is a sissy girl. Also, Hurricain has one of those lineups like Air it Outtt, solid throughout with no injuries.
Looking Ahead
DommyBear v. Raiderettes:
Tough to call as it stands now. DommyBear has no quarterback to field because of Bye-Weeks, which I take responsibility for. When i was drafting that team I picked Matt Ryan, and then worked off a requested players list from Dom for the 2nd pick, without checking the Bye situation. Hopefully he is in the process of picking someone up from waivers. Hard to call because the matchup will change depending on who Dom decides to field in place of his Bye players. He has a few solid choices on the bench. Raiderettes have the advantage this week in my opinion. Brandon Jacobs should have a good game against KC, and the Romo/Crayton situation could prove valuable. Any team with Jacobs and Forte sharing the backfield is one to watch. My Pick: Raiderettes
Sons of Anarchy v. Air it Outtt
The battle of the undefeated teams. When Air it Outtt subs Chi. defence in for golf-course bound Philly, the projected stats should be within a few points of each other.
Phillip Rivers is going up against a tough Pittsburgh defence, albeit one that has struggled in recent weeks. Pierre Thomas, likewise, is going to face the Jets Defence, which has allowed only 27 pts. in 3 games. Sons, on the other hand, have several players involved in the GB, Minn. game. It should be epic.
L.T. hopes to come back, possibly limiting Sproles. Thomas has to face NYJ, and Moss has to face tough Baltimore Defence. Its a hard call, but the matchups for the key players favour Sons of Anarchy. My Pick: Sons of Anarchy
Team Hurricain v. Mr. Horsey
Keith is in a tough spot here. Lots of players have BYEs this coming weekend. Kevin Smith is a game-time decision, possibly putting Mr. Horsey even farther up the creek in terms of filling his roster. Hurricain on the other hand has Peyton Manning playing Seattle. Let me repeat that. PEYTON MANNING gets to beat up on the Seahawks. The only thing to consider is that if they jump out ahead early, maybe Addai starts running more and Peyton throws less. Either way, itll be a good day out for the elder Manning. I hate to do it, but this week I think Mr. Horsey, through no fault of his own, might come up lame. My Pick: Team Hurricain to ride Mr. Horsey like its name was Riley.
M240 v. The A Team
I think I've got this. Gore is out due to injury, but A Team does have a deep reserve of RBs to put in. Best guess would be Fred Taylor, but he would be against Baltimore Def., not fun for any RB. In addition, Tomlinson might not even start, which would necessitate another RB swap, or a re-organization to include Lance Moore. Whatever happens, I like M240 to win this week. Peterson is expected to have a big game against GB, and Rodgers is expected to have a good game against Minnesota. Some favour GB, some Minn. I hope they're both right. Also, Santana Moss is going to TB, where even Jason Campbell and crew should be able to do some damage. Slaton is running into Oakland... My Pick: Me
Should be a good one.
