Time to look at Week 8's Matchups and Predictions



Poseidon Angry (2-5)     vs
Chardee MacDennis (1-6)

Matchup Stats

All Time Record: Series tied 1-1
Last Matchup: Drew beat me 124-91 in the semifinals for the 2010 Playoffs

Key Players

Poseidon Angry: Eli Manning (Cowboys) Victor Cruz (Cowboys) Calvin Johnson (Seattle) Eric Decker (Saints) Chris Johnson (Colts) Matt Forte (Panthers) Antonio Gates (Browns)

Chardee MacDennis: Matthew Stafford (Seattle) Mike Wallace (Redskins) DeSean Jackson (Falcons) Adrian Peterson (Bucs) Darren McFadden (Chiefs) Aaron Hernandez (Rams)

Wild Cards

Poseidon Angry: Can Megatron finally step up? Chris Johnson Encore? Eli put up Elite Fantasy Numbers?

Chardee MacDennis: Stafford with another tough matchup

Predictions
Yahoo Says: I win 121-107
I say: Drew wins, projections don't mean shit and those projections are way too high for me this week. The matchups are tough for half my team and I've been waiting ALL SEASON for Drew's team to come together and just flat out click. This week seems like it'll be the week. This is also the biggest game of the week, ironic since it involves the two worst teams, but if I win, Drew's basically mathematically eliminated from playoff contention as it's highly doubtful a team with a losing record could make the playoffs. I also have to win this game to keep my slim playoff hopes alive. I expect a close shootout, with my shitty luck costing me a win.

Breaking Bybee (3-4)      vs
Richard Head (3-4)

Matchup Stats

All Time Record: Kenny leads series 3-1
Last Matchup: Kenny beat Mike 116-60 in Week 12 of the 2011 Season

Key Players
Breaking Bybee: RGIII (Steelers) Miles Austin (Giants) Jamaal Charles (Raiders) Roddy White (Eagles) LeSean McCoy (Falcons)

Richard Head: Aaron Rodgers (Jags) Dez Bryant (Giants) Tony Gonzalez (Eagles)

Wild Cards
Breaking Bybee: James Jones & Marty B Plays

Richard Head: MJD out for multiple games. Weak RB's. Jeremy Kerley used again.

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Kenny wins 114-103
I say: Kenny wins, I don't know how Mike's done it with this team, on paper it looks really bad, but he was 2.5 points away from being 4-3. No MJD is huge, and Kenny's at full force this week.

Dr. Wily's Robots (6-1)     vs
Hoosier Daddy (5-2)

Matchup Stats

All Time Record: Matt Leads Series 2-1
Last Matchup: Ryan beat Matt 106-47 in Week 11 of the 2011 Season

Key Players
Dr. Wily's Robots: Michael Vick (Falcons) Hakeem Nicks (Cowboys) Percy Harvin (Bucs) Marshawn Lynch (Lions) Vernon Davis (Cardinals)

Hoosier Daddy: Peyton Manning (Saints) Larry Fitzgerald (49ers) Reggie Wayne (Titans) Antonio Brown (Redskins) Ahmad Bradshaw (Cowboys) Reggie Bush (Jets) Jason Witten (Giants)

Wild Cards
Dr. Wily's Robots: No A.J. Green/Arian Foster

Hoosier Daddy: Tough matchup for Fitzgerald

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Ryan wins 110-103
I say: Ryan wins, I'm gonna go with Ryan on this one. It's the battle of the top two teams in the league, and unfortunately for Matt, Arian Foster and A.J. Green are on bye. Ryan's got a fully loaded team and made a nice trade for Reggie Wayne which finally means no Andre Roberts. I think we'll have two 6-2 teams at the end of the day.

The Twin Killers ( 4-3)       vs
Channel 4 News Team (3-4)

Matchup Stats

All Time Record: Leland Leads Series 1-0
Last Matchup: Leland beat Albert 92-69 in Week 6 of the 2011 Season

Key Players
The Twin Killers : Matt Ryan (Eagles) Julio Jones (Eagles) Jordy Nelson (Jags) Rob Gronkowski (Rams)

Channel 4 News Team: Tom Brady (Rams) Demaryius Thomas (Saints) Brandon Marshall (Panthers) Trent Richardson (Chargers) Willis McGahee (Saints) Jimmy Graham (Broncos)

Wild Cards
The Twin Killers: Jordy's Health? Vick Ballard at RB #2. Kendall wright at WR 3

Channel 4 News Team: Trent Richardson's Health

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Albert wins 106-91
I say: Albert wins, especially if Jordy Nelson doesn't play due to injury. It looks like overall Albert's guys have more fantasy friendly matchups.

The Bad Robofies (4-3)        vs
Bigger Balls (4-3)

No Matchup Stats

Key Players
The Bad Robofies: Cam Newton (Bears) Wes Welker (Rams) Vincent Jackson (Bucs) Randall Cobb (Jags) Darren Sproles (Broncos)

Bigger Balls: Drew Brees (Broncos) Marques Colston (Broncos) Ryan Mathews (Browns) Frank Gore (Cardinals)

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Dad wins 98-94 (Mayra has no defense in right now)
I say: This is a tough one but I'll say Mayra wins. Dad seems to have the wide receiver advantage, but Mayra's got the better plays at QB and RB. That might be the different in this matchup.
