Week 4 Matchups and Predictions

Well 3 weeks down and we still have 3 undefeated teams and 2 winless teams. Will anything change this week? Let's get to it

Hoosier Daddy (3-0) vs
Bay Area Tanners (1-2)

All Time Record
Series is tied 3-3

Key Players

Hoosier Daddy: Ben Roethlisberger (Chiefs) Sammy Watkins* (Patriots) Michael Crabtree (Ravens) Ezekiel Elliott (49ers) Devonta Freeman (Panthers) Mark Ingram (Chargers)

Bay Area Tanners: DeAndre Hopkins (Titans) Mike Evans (Broncos) LeSean McCoy (Patriots)

Wild Cards

Hoosier Daddy: Is Watkins Playing? Tough Matchup for Devonta Freeman

Bay Area Tanners: Dalton at QB. Michael Floyd Concussion. Running back clusterfuck of Dwayne Washington/Spencer Ware/Jerrick McKinnon. Tough Matchup for LeSean McCoy, Mike Evans

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Ryan wins 109-105
I Say: Ryan wins. I've been terrible in the League Pick Em...with the exception of one team...ME. I'm a perfect 3-0 so far in picking my impending doom and I have no doubt I'll be right again as my team is such a clusterfuck mess. Two Thursday Night Plays, Terrible Matchups for my best players (yet AGAIN) with McCoy and Mike Evans, and I literally don't know which running backs to use out of Washington/Ware/McKinnon as they are total crapshoots is just a recipe for disaster. I have a feeling I'll underperform. Ryan's not going to luck this week to beat me, he'll just do it and stay undefeated.

Channel 4 News Team (2-1) vs
BigBadBob (0-2)

All Time Record
Series is tied 4-4

Key Players

Channel 4 News Team: Andrew Luck (Jaguars) A.J. Green (Dolphins) T.Y. Hilton (Jaguars) Doug Baldwin (Jets) LaGarrette Blount (Bills)

BigBadBob: Cam Newton (Falcons) Emmanuel Sanders (Bucs) Greg Olsen (Falcons) Brandon Marshall (Seahawks)

Wild Cards

Channel 4 News Team: Albert's TE situation. RB2 with Doug Martin out.

BigBadBob: Tough Matchup for Brandon Marshall. Overall Roster outside of Cam/Olsen.

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Dad wins 106-98
I Say: Albert wins. I dunno what Albert's waiting for as far his tight end situation, but the only reason he's projected to lose is because Gates is a zero.  I just can't trust Dad's roster right now because it's full of injuries.

Bigger Balls (3-0) vs
Woe Is You (1-2)

All Time Record
Mike Leads Series 2-1 (Last Played Week 12, 2013 Season)

Key Players

Bigger Balls: Matt Ryan (Panthers) Antonio Brown (Chiefs) Amari Cooper (Ravens) DeSean Jackson (Browns) Lamar Miller (Titans) Matt Forte (Seahawks)

Woe Is You: Odell Beckham Jr (Vikings) Stefon Diggs (Giants) Eric Decker (Seahawks) C.J. Anderson (Bucs) Jordan Reed (Browns)

Wild Cards

Bigger Balls: Tough matchups for Matt Ryan and Matt Forte

Woe Is You: Tough matchups for Odell Beckham, Eric Decker and Charles Sims. Terrell Pryor Usage

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Mike wins 116-106
I Say: Mayra wins. I think this will be a close one, and some of the projected points on both sides seem a little high. I'll give Mayra the slight edge here to stay undefeated with slightly better matchups.

SCLSU MudDogs (1-2) vs
Light's Broken Bots (0-3)

All Time Record
Alex Leads Series 2-0

Key Players

SCLSU MudDogs: Drew Brees (Chargers) Julian Edelman (Bills) Larry Fitzgerald (Rams) Carlos Hyde (Cowboys) LeVeon Bell (Chiefs)

Light's Broken Bots: Russell Wilson* (Jets) Kelvin Benjamin (Falcons) Rob Gronkowski (Bills) Jamaal Charles*(Steelers)

Wild Cards

SCLSU MudDogs: The return of Le'veon Bell. Delanie Walker going to play?

Light's Broken Bots: Russell Wilson's health. Jamaal Charles Health. Gronk's usage this week.

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Alex wins 114-103
I Say: Alex wins. Both teams blew great opportunities to get a win last week, though Alex's was more egregious as he controlled his loss by not playing a tight end. Matt's still got too many question marks on his team for me to pick him against Alex. Russell Wilson is banged up, Jamaal Charles might not play once again and even if he does...how much will he really play in his first game back? Who knows what's going on with Gronk...it unfortunately looks like an 0-4 start for Matt, but no worries Matt...win #1 is on the way...because the first team you get to play with your team fully intact will be....ME!

No Soup For You (2-1) vs
THE SPOILER (1-2)

All Time Record
Leland Leads Series 4-3 (Last Beat Drew in 1st Round of 2015 Wane McGarity Bowl)

Predictions
Leland winning. Not even going to beat around the bush and mess with Key Players bs, Drew is a 34 point underdog. He wasn't winning with a fully healthy roster, he wasn't winning with the current roster he has, and he's certainly not winning with Eddie Lacy on bye too. My 100% guarantee  has been a kiss of death before...but common sense tells you that a  roster where Paul Perkins and Terrance West are in the lineup against a powerhouse like Leland won't end well at all. It's a good thing Drew got win #1 last week.

Rocket Man (3-0) vs
Shock The Monkey (1-2)

All Time Record
Mark Leads Series 2-1

Key Players

Rocket Man: Julio Jones (Panthers) Jeremy Maclin (Steelers) Melvin Gordon (Saints)

Shock The Monkey: Carson Palmer (Rams) Alshon Jeffrey (Lions) Jarvis Landry (Bengals) Latavius Murray (Ravens) Demarco Murray (Ravens) Dez Bryant*(49ers)

Wild Cards

Rocket Man: QB Situation. Tough Matchup for Julio Jones. Jordan Matthews on bye.

Shock The Monkey: Dez's health. Palmer bounce back?

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Eugene wins 110-101
I Say: Eugene wins. Uh oh Eugene's not going to be happy I picked him to win! The QB situation is scary, because even if Garoppolo plays, I'm not sure how pass happy they'll be. For Mark, Dez could be nothing but a glorified decoy with his injury. Again...Mark's team is super hard to define, I'll just go with the consistent undefeated team this week.
