Week 12

Looking Back:

Four for Four in last weeks picks! We've now got a three-way tie at 7-3, and Mr. Horsey is only one game off the pace at 6-4. The playoff race is heating up big time. Injuries also played a factor last week, with several teams running into depth-issues, especially at the RB position.

Looking Ahead:

Mr. Horsey v. DommyBear:

The word of the week here is going to be 'injuries.' DommyBear has Julius Jones and Michael Turner in his RB spots, both of which are not healthy. Jones practiced again with the team on Wed. but with Justin Forsett very ably filling in, it is unlikely he will get much, if any, playing time. Turner might also play, but its not definite, and if he does, he'll be limited. Mr. Horsey is not plagued by injuries this week, but his team isn't looking exceptionally good either. Cleveland showed last week they knew how to score, and Cincinnati LOST to Oakland... That Defensive matchup is not looking as good as it did before last Sunday. Also, none of his WRs are projected to have huge days, and Detroit is going to fall behind so fast Kevin Smith will not be getting a lot of touches. My Pick: Mr Horsey to continue his trot up the ranks.

Sons of Anarchy v. Raiderettes:

Sons of Anarchy is obviously the pick here. It seems like Raiderettes has been following in the A Team's footsteps these last few weeks, fielding less-than-ideal matchups. The only bright spot has been Brandon Jacobs, who really seemed to be running well last week against Atl. Unless there is a line-up change, I don't think Raiderettes can close this gap - nowone looks explosive enough to make the difference. My Pick: Sons of Anarchy

Air it Outtt v. The A Team:

As has often been the case, if The A Team fielded a complete team this week, they would have a decent shot at this game. Air it Outtt got hurt with injuries last week, especially at the RB spot. They have maneuvered into a decent position, but don't look quite as dominant as they did before they lost certain starters. The A team has good matchups this week for players. Of course, they wont start a complete team, so this one looks to be going fairly easily into the Win column for Air it Outtt. My Pick: Air it Outtt

M240 v. Team Hurricain:

Looking forward to playing Justin Forsett against StL, who gave up both of Hightower's 100yd+ games this season. Forsett got almost 15 pts. against Min. last week, and I expect a huge performance from him against the Rams. Steve Smith (NYG) against Denver should be a good matchup for Hurricain, but on the other hand the top corner should be on him, leading me to think that Eli will be targeting Manningham more. I have the edge in theory, but its too close to feel really squared away on this one. My Pick. Me
