Week 4 Matchups and Predictions

Well, the biggest matchup of this young season not only pits a father and a son, but also a pair of undefeated streaks on the line. Me vs my dad is about much more than just family bragging rights. The winner takes sole position of 1st place for at least one week. Should be a highly competitive matchup and i pity my poor mom who has to sit through a week of our back and forth. Onto the matchups!

BigBadBob (3-0) vs
Kumamon Express (3-0)

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Dad leads series 3-2
Last Matchup: Dad beat me 74.5-32 in Week 3 of the 2014 Season

Key Players

BigBadBob: Cam Newton (Bucs) Randall Cobb (49ers) Larry Fitzgerald (Rams) Vincent Jackson (Panthers) Travis Kelce (Bengals) Marshawn Lynch* (Lions)

Kumamon Express: Jordan Matthews (Redskins) DeAndre Hopkins (Falcons) Jeremy Maclin (Bengals) Matt Forte (Raiders) Greg Olsen (Bucs)

Wild Cards

BigBadBob: Marshawn Lynch's health. Ellington back this week? Gio still outperforming Jeremy Hill?

Kumamon Express: Having to use C.J. Anderson...AGAIN.  Shaky matchup for Eli.

Predictions
Yahoo Says: I win 106-101
I Say: Dad wins. The last time I played Dad was that season crushing 32 pt performance in Week 3. I just don't have a good confident feeling about this. I can see a low scoring week happening for me. I hope I'm damn wrong.

Dr. Light's Robots (1-2) vs
No Soup For You (0-3)

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Matt leads series 5-0
Last Matchup: Matt beat Leland 118-54.5 in Week 7 of the 2014 Season

Key Players

Dr. Light's Robots: Odell Beckham (Bills) Donte Moncrief (Jaguars) Jamaal Charles (Bengals) Jordan Reed (Eagles)

No Soup For You: Matt Ryan (Texans) Calvin Johnson (Seahawks) Keenan Allen (Browns)

Wild Cards

Dr. Light's Robots: Tyrod Taylor starting. Shuffling lineup with Sproles over Alf. Edleman bye

No Soup For You: Difficult Calvin Matchup. Which Keenan Allen is going to show up? Rest of the roster giant question mark.

Predictions
Yahoo says: Matt wins 98-84
I Say: Matt wins. Matt's never lost to Leland and I don't think he'll have a problem this week either, even without Big Ben and Edelman. It's the perfect opportunity for Matt to bounce back from last week's loss. It's interesting to see Darren Sproles in the lineup as Matt has clearly lost faith in Alfred Morris. Nevertheless, I can't pick Leland in this matchup, when I just don't know what to expect from his team at all.

Rocket Man (2-1) vs
Winter Is Over (2-1)

Matchup Stats

All Time Record: Eugene leads series 2-1
Last Matchup: Eugene beat Alex 162-112 in the Quarterfinal of the 2014 Wane McGarity Bowl

Key Players

Rocket Man: Aaron Rodgers (49ers) Julio Jones (Texans) James Jones (49ers) Mark Ingram (Cowboys)

Winter Is Over: Drew Brees* (Cowboys) Brandon Marshall (Dolphins) Steve Smith (Steelers) Eddie Lacy (49ers) Jimmy Graham (Lions)

Wild Cards

Rocket Man: James Jones role with Devante Adams out. Chris Johnson timeshare. Baldwin/Crabtree plays

Winter Is Over: Drew Brees health. Eddie Lacy Health. Rest of Saints (Spiller/Colston) Step up.

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Eugene wins 102-96
I Say: Alex wins. I'm going to go a bit of an upset here (which is crazy calling beating Eugene an upset) and predict this might be a let down game for Eugene. Of course this is totally dependent on Drew Brees and Eddie Lacy being good to go. I probably just jinxed Alex and Eugene will now score 150 points, but just a hunch on my side.

Woe Is Me (2-1)  vs
Channel 4 News Team (0-3)

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Series is tied 4-4
Last Matchup: Albert beat Kenny 100.5-63 in Week 9 of the 2014 Season

Key Players

Woe Is Me: Russell Wilson (Lions) T.Y. Hilton (Jaguars) Latavius Murray (Bears) Arian Foster* (Falcons)

Channel 4 News Team: Carson Palmer (Rams) A.J. Green (Chiefs)

Wild Cards

Woe Is Me: WR Injury Replacements (Torrey Smith/Reuben Randle). Is Foster Playing? Status of Chris Ivory and Jordan Cameron.

Channel 4 News Team: Who the hell replaces Gronk. Sammy Watkins possibly might not play. Thin RB's.

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Kenny wins 98-84
I Say: Kenny wins. The schedule works perfectly for Kenny this week, despite his team being injury plagued he plays a team that's in even worse shape. He plays Albert with no Gronk. Albert is 0-3 with him...just imagine what happens without him. So even with a less than ideal lineup, Kenny should take this easily.

Bigger Balls (2-1) vs
Hoosier Daddy (1-2)

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Ryan Leads Series 3-1
Last Matchup: Mayra beat Ryan 121-65.5 in Week 4 Of The 2014 Season

Key Players

Bigger Balls: Antonio Brown (Ravens) Le'Veon Bell (Ravens) Jarvis Landry (Jets) Carlos Hyde (Packers) Karlos Williams (Giants)

Hoosier Daddy: Andrew Luck (Jaguars) Golden Tate (Seahawks) Mike Evans (Panthers) Frank Gore (Jaguars) Justin Forsett (Steelers)

Wild Cards

Bigger Balls: Dalton over Tannehill. How will Big Ben's injury affect Antonio Brown. Karlos Williams role if McCoy sits.

Hoosier Daddy: Bounce Back opportunity for Luck. Forsett finally getting on track.

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Mayra wins 102-99.
I Say: Mayra wins. This is closer than I thought, but I like Mayra's chances here, especially if Karlos Williams gets all the workload if McCoy doesn't play. Interesting move to sit Tannehill over Dalton, as Mayra is shaking things up. Luck's matchup couldn't be any better, the Jags just gave up 50 to the Patriots. If he can't have a monster game here..than yes..something is wrong. Despite that, I'll still give the edge to Mayra, though this might be way closer than expected.

Sons Of The Harpy (2-1) vs
Shock The Monkey (0-3)

Matchup Stats

All Time Record: Series is tied 1-1
Last Matchup: Drew beat Mark 88-62 in Week 7 of the 2014 Season

Key Players

Sons Of The Harpy: Demaryius Thomas (Vikings) Amari Cooper (Bears) Allen Robinson (Colts) Adrian Peterson (Broncos)

Shock The Monkey: Peyton Manning (Vikings) Emmanuel Sanders (Vikings) Alshon Jeffrey (Raiders)

Wild Cards

Sons Of The Harpy: Tom Brady/Kendall Wright on Bye. David Carr spot start. Weak RB #2 play. Eric Ebron/Rishard Matthews plays

Shock The Monkey: Alshon Jeffrey health + Clausen at QB. Jeremy Hill FINALLY get it together? Was Joseph Randle legit? Rest of support starters production.

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Drew wins 95-94.
I Say: Drew wins. Again, another closer matchup than I expected. If there was a chance for Mark to pull off the upset it'd be this week while Drew has no Brady. There's a good chance though that David Carr will be a more than capable replacement.  Drew still has a lack of RB #2 but it's not like Mark's RB situation is any better. Jeremy Hill sucks and he's already benched Lamar Miller who looks like shit as well. I still think Drew takes this, but there's a chance Mark can get it together and get win #1.
