Week 4 Matchups and Predictions

Bye Weeks start this week for the Colts and Steelers (which means no Reggie Wayne for me) and we're down to one undefeated team (Matt) and one winless team (Kenny). Will this change after this week? We'll see. Here are this week matchups.


Poseidon Angry (1-2) vs
The Bad Robofies (2-1)

Matchup Stats

All Time Record: I lead the series 1-0
Last Matchup: I beat  Dad 137-67 in week 8 of the 2011 Season

Key Players
Poseidon Angry: Matt Ryan (vs Panthers) Calvin Johnson (Vikings) Jordy Nelson (Saints) Antonio Gates (Chiefs)

The Bad Robofies: Cam Newton (vs Falcons) Wes Welker (Bills) Jeremy Maclin (Giants) DeMarco Murray (Bears) Darren Sproles (Packers) Jermichael Finley (Saints)

Wild Cards
Poseidon Angry: What kind of production will I get from my RB's? Was keeping Arizona Defense over Baltimore a good move?

The Bad Robofies: Cam Newton bounce back? Maclin's first game coming off injury. Tough Matchup for Murray.

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Dad wins 107-100
I say: Dad wins, my team is in transition mode and I don't have one RB1 this week on my official roster. I don't know what I'll get from Ridley and Green-Ellis, but I'm not expecting too much. I do think Dad bounces back and gets the W here.

Breaking Bybee (0-3)  vs
The Twin Killers (2-1)

All Time Record: Leland Leads Series 2-1
Last Matchup: Leland beat Kenny 107-103 in the Quarterfinal of the 2011 playoffs

Key Players
Breaking Bybee: Robert Griffin III (vs. Bucs) Miles Austin (Bears) Roddy White (Panthers) Brandon Lloyd (Bills) LeSean McCoy (Giants) Jamaal Charles (Chargers)

The Twin Killers: Eli Manning (Eagles) Victor Cruz (Eagles) Julio Jones (Panthers) Ray Rice (Browns) Rob Gronkowski (Bills)

Wild Cards
Breaking Bybee: RGIII Keep up the hot streak? Miles vs tough Bears D. Will the Eagles finally give McCoy more of a workload? Jamaal Charles fluke or legit? Dennis Pitta TE1?

The Twin Killers: Fred Jackson/Andre Brown/Doug Martin RB#2 dilemma. Will Torrey Smith go off again?

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Kenny wins 117-106
I Say: Kenny wins, I'm gonna say Kenny wins despite Leland getting to use both Ray Rice and Rob Gronkowski. I think the RGIII acquisition was big, and his upside is huge. Even when the passing is not there, he still gets solid rushing yards. This really is a must win for Kenny, and he needs to erase the heartbreaking loss he suffered against Leland in the playoffs last season.


Dr. Wily's Robots (3-0)  vs
Bigger Balls (2-1)

No Matchup Stats

Key Players
Dr. Wily's Robots: Michael Vick (vs. Giants) A.J. Green (vs Jaguars) Percy Harvin (vs Lions) Hakeem Nicks (vs Eagles) Arian Foster (vs Titans) Marshawn Lynch (vs Rams) Vernon Davis (vs Jets)

Bigger Balls: Drew Brees (vs Packers) Andre Johnson (vs Titans) Marques Colston (vs Packers) Ryan Mathews (vs Chiefs)

Wild Cards
Dr. Wily's Robots: None...seriously...not one thing 
Bigger Balls: Reggie Bush's Health? Frank Gore vs Jets. Will Mayra use Ryan Mathews?

Predictions
Yahoo says: Matt wins 124-88
I say: Matt wins, if you want to beat Matt you can't have ANY question marks on your team. Unfortunately Mayra has question marks at the RB position, and with Reggie Bush not 100% plus playing a difficult defense, I don't see Matt having any trouble staying undefeated this week.

Chardee MacDennis (1-2) vs
Channel 4 News Team (1-2) 

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Series is tied 2-2
Last Matchup: Albert beat Drew 108-100 in the 2010 Wayne McGarrity Bowl Championship

Key Players
Chardee MacDennis: Joe Flacco (vs Browns) Darren McFadden (vs Broncos) Adrian Peterson (vs Lions) Seattle Defense (vs Rams)

Channel 4 News Team: Tom Brady (vs Bills) Brandon Marshall (Cowboys) DeMaryius Thomas (Raiders) Jimmy Graham (Packers)

Wild Cards
Chardee MacDennis: Flacco over Stafford? Trust in Recievers?
Channel 4 News Team: Trust in Running Backs? Richardson difficult matchup.

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Albert wins 107.21-106-69
I say: Drew wins, it should be a close matchup, and though Flacco has a great matchup it is a risk. I like Albert's QB and receivers over Drew's, but I like Drew's running backs over Albert's. It's really a toss up, but I'm gonna give the edge to Drew by a tiny margin. Should be as competitive as the 2010 Finals they were in.

Richard Head (2-1)   vs
Hoosier Daddy (1-2)

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Ryan Leads Series 2-0
Last Matchup: Ryan beat Mike 91-76 in week 9 of the 2011 season

Key Players
Richard Head: Aaron Rodgers (vs Saints) Steve Smith (Falcons) Dez Bryant (Bears) Maurice Jones-Drew (Bengals) Tony Gonzalez (Panthers) Michael Bush (Cowboys)

Hoosier Daddy: Peyton Manning (vs Raiders) Larry Fitzgerald (Dolphins) Greg Jennings (Saints) 

Wild Cards
Richard Head: Golden Tate at WR #3, Can Aaron Rodgers finally get back on track?

Hoosier Daddy: Running back situation in dire straits. No legit WR#3. Struggling Jason Witten

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Mike wins 105-86
I say: Mike wins, Michael Turner is not consistent, and the Packers are a pass heavy team, so Benson might not get a lot of work. I think Mike's got the better over team and should come away with the W this week.
