Week 13 Matchups and Predictions

Well even though the playoff teams have already been set, it doesn't mean week 13 is for nothing. Playoff seeding still has yet to be determined. The only thing that is pretty much a lock is Ryan is getting one of the two byes. Everything is still up grabs and every other team still has a shot at the coveted bye. Here are the final matchups for the regular season.

RuggedRaymontHarris (8-4) vs
Dr. Wily's Robots (5-7)

Matchup Stats
Last Matchup: I beat Matt 96-89 in Week 4
All Time: I lead the series 4-1

Already Played
RuggedRaymontHarris: Marshawn Lynch
Dr. Wily's Robots: Doug Baldwin

Key Players(Opponents in Parenthesis)
RuggedRaymontHarris: Tony Romo (Cardinals) Hakeem Nicks (Packers) Greg Jennings (Giants) Ray Rice(Browns)
Dr. Wily's Robots: Eli Manning (Packers) Brandon Marshall (Raiders) Frank Gore (Rams)

Wild Cards
RuggedRaymontHarris: Vincent Jackson (Jaguars) Fred Davis (Jets) New England Patriots Defense (Colts)
Dr. Wily's Robots: A.J. Green (Steelers) DeAngelo Williams (Tampa Bay)

Yahoo Revised Projections say: I win 111-84
I say: I win, with a bye on the line, I went reallllllllllllly ballsy and actually sat LeSean McCoy for Marshawn Lynch Thursday night with reports that McCoy would be limited because of a toe injury. This could've been a huge costly mistake yet it wasn't as Marshawn Lynch ended up with 148 yards and 2 scores and while McCoy ended up being fine (and he played awesome of course) it was still a solid decision that luckily for me panned out. That combined with Doug Baldwin only getting two points has me a little bit more confident that I can get good performances from the rest of my key players and hopefully secure a bye for the playoffs. Matt's team still scares me though, and guys like DeAngelo Williams, Eli Manning, Frank Gore, and A.J. Green are still capable of going off. Here's hoping my guys stay the course and earn me a bye in the playoffs.

Take Dat Wit Chu (7-4) vs
Channel 4 News Team (7-4)

Matchup Stats
Last Matchup: Albert beat Kenny 108-107 in Week 4
All-Time: Albert Leads Series 3-1

Key Players
Take Dat Wit Chu: Aaron Rodgers (Giants) Larry Fitzgerald (Cowboys) DeMarco Murray (Cardinals) Laurent Robinson (Cardinals) Tony Gonzalez (Texans)
Channel 4 News Team: Tom Brady (Colts) Calvin Johnson (Saints) Steven Jackson (49ers) Arian Foster (Falcons) Jermichael Finley (Giants)

Wild Cards
Take Dat Wit Chu: Santonio Holmes (Redskins) Ryan Mathews (Jaguars)
Channel 4 News Team: Plaxico Burress (Redskins) Dez Bryant (Cardinals)

Yahoo Says: Albert Wins 95-94
I Say: Kenny wins, think about this, in Week 4 if Kenny plays the Ravens Defense, Albert is fighting for his playoff life and Kenny is in line for a bye. Instead, this is mainly about playoff seeding (both also have an outside shot at the bye) and this is a very tough matchup to guess, but I'll take Kenny by a hair. Brady and Rodgers both have awesome matchups, I just think overall Kenny has  slight edge roster wise, but it wouldn't surprise me either way honestly.

The_Twin_Killers (7-5) vs
Salt & Vinegar Chips (3-9)

Matchup Stats
Last Matchup: Leland beat Mike 116-86
All Time: Leland leads series 1-0

Already Played
The_Twin_Killers: DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia Eagles Defense

Key Players
The_Twin_Killers: Matthew Stafford (Saints) Roddy White (Texans) Matt Forte (Chiefs) Rob Gronkowski (Colts)
Salt & Vinegar Chips: Steve Smith (Tampa Bay) Marques Colston (Lions) Michael Turner (Texans) Antonio Gates (Jaguars)

Wild Cards
The_Twin_Killers: Titus Young (Saints) Jonathan Stewart (Tampa Bay)
Salt & Vinegar Chips: Percy Harvin (Broncos) Darren Sproles (Lions) Carson Palmer (Dolphins)

Yahoo Revised Projections Say: Mike Wins 82-74
I Say: Mike wins, IF his whole team is healthy. Michael Turner and Percy Harvin are questionable, if they are able to play a full game, this could very well be a trap game that Mike has an excellent chance at winning for a couple reasons. Leland has already used two plays and both were disappointing (6 points combined) and with Titus Young in the lineup, he's anything but reliable, so those could be three low scoring plays off the bat. It's still a low risk game because the only thing Leland risks is a lower playoff seeding (in the 5 or 6 range). If Leland does win though, he has an outside shot of getting the bye.

The Bad Robofies (8-4) vs
Shredders (3-9)

Matchup Stats
Last Matchup: Dad beat Zach 81-68
All Time: Dad leads series 1-0

Already Played
Shredders: Vince Young, Riley Cooper

Key Players
The Bad Robofies: Drew Brees (Lions) Victor Cruz (Packers) Brandon Lloyd (49ers) Michael Bush (Dolphins) Chris Johnson (Bills) Jason Witten (Cardinals)
Shredders: Jordy Nelson (Giants) Willis McGahee (Vikings) BenJarvus Green-Ellis (Colts)

Wild Cards
The Bad Robofies: Lance Moore (Lions)
Shredders: Stevie Johnson (Titans) Aaron Hernandez (Colts)

Yahoo Revised Scoring Says: Dad Wins 104-90
I say: Dad wins, it's not a matter of if Dad wins, Zach's team has been completely depleted as Vick and Maclin still haven't returned from injury which forced two starts already on Zach's part, it's a matter of weather or not he gets the bye. Dad would need me to lose to get that 2nd playoff bye. If not, he's looking at a #3 seed and first round matchup against a dangerous #6 seed whomever that may be.

Hoosier Daddy (9-3) vs
Da Boyz(3-9)

Matchup Stats
Last Matchup: Ryan Beat Cindy 99-91 in  Week 4
All-Time: Ryan leads series 1-0

Key Players
Hoosier Daddy: Cam Newton (Tampa Bay) Mike Wallace (Bengals) Maurice Jones-Drew (San Diego) Rashard Mendenhall (Bengals) Jimmy Graham (Lions)
Da Boyz: Matt Ryan (Texans) Wes Welker (Colts) Andre Johnson (Falcons)

Wild Cards
Hoosier Daddy: Anquan Boldin (Browns) Jabar Gaffney (Jets)
Da Boyz: Shonn Greene (Redskins) Reggie Bush (Raiders)

Yahoo Says: Ryan wins 98-79
I Say: Ryan wins, it's a shame Cindy never had her team at full strength more games that a couple, because a healthy trio of Welker, Andre Johnson, and McFadden would've definitely lead to more wins. Ryan will win this and become the league's only 10 game winner and safely secure the #1 seed in the playoffs.
