Week 8 Matchups and Predictions

Week 8 and 9 have the most byes out of all the weeks, so it's going to be crazy seeing how this two weeks pan out. Here's this weeks matchups.


Shock The Monkey (6-1) vs
Danny's Little Giants (4-3)

No Matchup Stats

Key Players
Shock The Monkey: Matt Ryan (Cardinals) Victor Cruz (Eagles) Justin Blackmon (49ers) Steven Jackson (Cardinals) Rob Gronkowski (Dolphins)

Danny's Little Giants: Matthew Stafford (Cowboys) Vincent Jackson (Panthers) Pierre Garcon (Broncos) LeSean McCoy (Giants) Jason Witten (Lions)

Wild Cards
Shock The Monkey: Steven Jackson ready to go? No Matt Forte. Tough Matchup for Justin Blackmon.

Danny's Little Giants: Tough Matchup for Vincent Jackson. Lamar Miller as RB #2. No Brandon Marshall

Predictions
Yahoo Says: I win 93.85-93.28
I Say: Mark wins. I budgeted this as a loss before acquiring Matthew Stafford, and I'm still sticking by that. Not a fan of using Lamar Miller, Kris Durham and Emmanuel Sanders all in one week. The wild card will be Steven Jackson. If he really is ready to go, that'll be a huge gain for Mark's team. Also I figure Gronk's going to be even better than last week.

Springville-Warrior (3-4) vs
Tebow4President (1-6)

No Matchup Stats

Key Players
Springville-Warrior: Russell Wilson (Rams) Eric Decker (Redskins) Fred Jackson (Saints) Gio Bernard (Jets)

Tebow4President: Tom Brady (Patriots) Steve Smith (Bucs)

Wild Cards
Springville-Warrior: Receiver and TE play outside of Decker

Tebow4President: Entire team again

Predictions
I say: Eugene wins. With the Stafford trade, Yahoo is not going to be accurate so I don't know who Leland is going to use to fill out his team. Regardless, Eugene should win the Battle of the Brothers, but this has to possibility of being the lowest combined score of the season.

Channel 4 News Team (4-3) vs
Dr. Light's Robots (2-5)

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Albert leads series 4-1
Last Matchup: Albert Beat Matt 119.5-101.5 in the Semifinals of the 2012 Playoffs

Key Players
Channel 4 News Team: Peyton Manning (Redskins) A.J. Green (Jets) Frank Gore (Jaguars) Alfred Morris (Broncos)

Dr. Light's Robots: Michael Vick (Giants) Jordy Nelson (Vikings) Jamaal Charles (Browns) Jordan Reed (Broncos)

Wild Cards
Channel 4 News Team: Finley out, TE Production. Wallace/Bowe production

Dr. Light's Robots: Matt's neverending QB controversy. Supporting cast production.

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Matt wins 98.95
I say: Matt's team is not nearly as bad as his 2-5 record suggests. Matt's main problem is he seems to pick the wrong one with Vick/Foles and RGIII. As of right now he's got Vick in his lineup. Both QB's have juicy matchups. Very difficult decision to make here. I think I'm going to go with Albert, though it's tough and it wouldn't be shocking if Matt did indeed win. That Manning/Green/Gore/Morris squad is tough to pick against but Matt does have the potential firepower to beat it.

Passion ofthe Puente (5-2) vs
The Bad Robofies (5-2)

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Dad leads series 3-1
Last Matchup: Dad Beat Mike 126-87 in Week 11 of the 2012 season

Key Players
Passion ofthe Puente: Tony Romo (Lions) Wes Welker (Redskins) Josh Gordon (Chiefs) Marshawn Lynch (Rams) Tony Gonzalez (Cardinals) Marques Colston (Bills)

The Bad Robofies: Colin Kaepernick (Jaguars) Darren McFadden (Steelers) Jimmy Graham* (Bills)

Wild Cards
Passion ofthe Puente: Arian Foster on bye

The Bad Robofies: Andre Johnson, Ray Rice, Marty B on bye. Is Jimmy Graham Going to play?

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Mike wins 105-82 (with Graham in lineup)
I say: Mike wins. This SHOULD BE a no brainer. Dad's got very little depth on his team and if Jimmy Graham doesn't play it gets even worse. I'm not trying to jinx this but C'mon..there's no possibly way Dad comes away with a win here....RIGHHHHHHT??

Not Even Lying (4-3) vs
Hoosier Daddy (2-5)

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Ryan Leads Series 3-2
Last Matchup: Ryan Beat Kenny 123.5-92.5 in Week 7 Of The 2012 season

Key Players
Not Even Lying: Drew Brees (Bills) Demaryius Thomas (Redskins) Calvin Johnson (Cowboys) Percy Harvin (Rams)

Hoosier Daddy: Cam Newton (Bucs) DeSean Jackson (Giants) Larry Fitzgerald (Falcons) Eddie Lacy (Vikings) Stevan Ridley (Dolphins) Julius Thomas (Redskins)

Wild Cards
Not Even Lying: RB Production. How much will Harvin Play?

Hoosier Daddy: Tough Ridley Matchup

Predictions:
Yahoo Says: Ryan wins 99-85
I Say: I'm gonna say Ryan wins. Wow, seriously this went from a team everyone wants to play to a team that is very scary to play very fast. Ryan knocked out Mayra last week, and I think he has the better overall team this week to do the same to Kenny. Kenny better pray his core players to well, because it'll be hard to trust Mike James and Joseph Randle for huge production.

Bigger Balls (4-3)  vs
I'm A Paul Heyman Guy (2-5)

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Series tied 1-1
Last Matchup: Drew beat Mayra 120.5-117.5 in the 2012 Michael Wiley Loser Bowl Semifinals

Key Players
Bigger Balls: Aaron Rodgers (Vikings) Antonio Brown (Raiders) Dez Bryant (Lions) Knowshon Moreno (Redskins) Darren Sproles (Bills) Vernon Davis (Jaguars)

I'm A Paul Heyman Guy: Adrian Peterson (Packers) Reggie Bush (Cowboys) Jordan Cameron (Chiefs)

Wild Cards
Bigger Balls: No big problems really this week

I'M A Paul Heyman Guy: Terrelle Pryor performance. Danny Amendola's availability. Receiver production

Predictions
Yahoo Says; Mayra wins
I Say: Mayra wins, Yahoo has Mayra winning even with Alshon Jeffrey and Benjarvus Green Ellis on bye. She'll obviously switch those two, and unfortunately for Drew it's just too much firepower. I think Drew's disappointing season continues.
