Week 12 Matchups and Predictions

I feel ya turkey...I don't know if Thanksgiving being here already is a good or bad things. Definitely can be bad if Calvin sucks. Here are this week's matchups and predictions.

The Twin Killers (7-4)        vs

Poseidon Angry (4-7)

Matchup Stats

All Time Record: I lead series 2-1

Last Matchup: Leland beat me 129.5-120 in week 3

Turkey Day Plays

The Twin Killers: Steven Gostowski (Jets)

Poseidon Angry: Calvin Johnson (Texans)

Key Players

The Twin Killers: Matt Ryan (Bucs) Torrey Smith (Chargers) Jordy Nelson (Giants) Julio Jones (Bucs) Doug Martin (Falcons) C.J. Spiller (Colts) Denver Broncos Defense (Chiefs)

Poseidon Angry: Andrew Luck (Bills) Calvin Johnson (Texans) Victor Cruz (Packers) Eric Decker (Chiefs) Matt Forte (Vikings)

Wild Cards

The Twin Killers: No Gronk, is Scott Chandler viable?

Poseidon Angry: No McCoy, Bryce Brown ready for full workload? Calvin Johnson Tough  Matchup

Predictions

I Say: Leland wins, again we'll ignore the Yahoo predictions which as of today is only predicting Bryce Brown to get 1.6 points. I have too many question marks and holes, and Leland has some prime matchups for his guys. If Calvin sucks tomorrow, I'm in big trouble. I think my streak ends here as does my season.

Dr. Wily's Robots (8-3)    vs

Breaking Bybee (4-7)

Matchup Stats

All Time Record: Matt Leads Series 3-0

Last Matchup: Matt beat Kenny 124.5-93 in Week 3

Key Players

Dr. Wily's Robots: Arian Foster (Lions) Marshawn Lynch (Dolphins) A.J. Green (Raiders) Hakeem Nicks (Packers) Vernon Davis (Saints) Percy Harvin (Bears)

Breaking Bybee: RGIII (Cowboys) Miles Austin (Redskins) Roddy White (Bucs) Ray Rice (Chargers) Jamaal Charles (Broncos) Tony Gonzalez (Bucs)

Wild Cards

Dr. Wily's Robots: No consistent QB with Vick/Big Ben out. Harvin's Health

Breaking Bybee: Crabtree WR #3

Predictions

Yahoo Says: Kenny wins 119-116

I say: Matt wins, it'll be close and I know Matt doesn't have a real QB, but ask Mike Posey if he liked Ryan Fitzpatrick's 19 points. He could do that against the Colts as well. Kenny's RB plays are very dicey, as Charles value diminishes when the Chiefs go down huge and against the Broncos, it screams blowout. Also Ray Rice has been very average the last couple of games. Tomorrow is huge for Kenny, he needs a fast start and he needs to hope Arian Foster has another mediocre game. If Matt does lose, it'll be 3 straight losses, and a chance for Leland or Ryan to overtake him for the #1 seed.

The Bad Robofies (6-5)       vs

Chardee MacDennis (4-7)

Matchup Stats

All Time Record: Drew leads series 1-0

Last Matchup: Drew won 116-76 in week 3

Turkey Day Plays

The Bad Robofies: Wes Welker (Jets) Shonn Greene (Patriots) 

Chardee MacDennis: Matthew Stafford (Texans)  Aaron Hernandez (Jets)

Key Plays

The Bad Robofies: Cam Newton (Eagles) Wes Welker (Jets) Vincent Jackson (Falcons) Randall Cobb (Giants) 

Chardee MacDennis: Matthew Stafford (Texans) DeSean Jackson (Panthers) Adrian Peterson (Bears) Aaron Hernandez (Jets)

Wild Cards

The Bad Robofies: Overcome inconsistent running back play again? Packers Defense against Giants

Chardee MacDennis: Makeshift WR #2/#3, Andre Brown RB#2

Predictions

Yahoo says: Drew wins 96-95

I Say: Yeeeeesch. Talk about two teams with injury problems galore. On paper both of these teams look pretty bad, I'm gonna give the slight edge to Dad, because I think his receiving trio can once again carry the team. If Dad wins, it basically ends Drew's season and all but locks up a playoff spot.

Channel 4 News Team (5-6)  vs

Richard Head (5-6)

Matchup Stats

All Time Record: Mike leads series 2-1

Last Matchup: Mike beat Albert 105-71 in Week 3

Turkey Day Plays

Channel 4 News Team:  Tom Brady (Jets) Mikel LeShoure (Texans) 

Richard Head: Dez Bryant (Redskins) Stevan Ridley (Jets) Brandon Lloyd (Jets) Dallas Defense (Redskins)

Key Players

Channel 4 News Team: Tom Brady (Jets) Demaryius Thomas (Chiefs) Brandon Marshall (Vikings) Trent Richardson (Steelers) Jimmy Graham (49ers) 

Richard Head: Aaron Rodgers (Giants) Dez Bryant (Redskins) Stevan Ridley (Jets) 

Wild Cards

Channel 4 News Team: No McGahee, can LeShoure pick up slack?

Richard Head: Lloyd and Hartline provide more scoring. Steven Jackson vs Cardinals

Predictions

Yahoo Says: Albert wins 104-97

I Say: Albert wins. Losing McGahee hurts, but overall I'll give the slight edge to Albert's team this week. I just think outside Rodgers and Dez, it's hard to see Posey's guys put up a ton of points, but as usual, I've been wrong several times on Mike's team before.

Hoosier Daddy (7-4)   vs

Bigger Balls (5-6)

Matchup Stats

All Time Record: Ryan Leads Series 1-0

Last Matchup: Ryan beat Mayra 106.5-83 in Week 3

Turkey Day Plays

Hoosier Daddy: Jason Witten (Redskins)

Bigger Balls: Andre Johnson (Lions) Brandon Pettigrew (Texans) Owen Daniels (Lions) Houston Texans Defense (Lions)

Key Players

Hoosier Daddy: Peyton Manning (Chiefs) Reggie Wayne (Bills) Larry Fitzgerald (Rams) Jason Witten (Redskins)

Bigger Balls: Drew Brees (49ers) Marques Colston (49ers) Andre Johnson (Lions)  Frank Gore (Saints) Ryan Mathews (Ravens)

Wild Cards

Hoosier Daddy: Danrio Alexander/Marcel Reece encore performances? Who to use at RB#2?

Bigger Balls: Ryan Mathews breakout?

Predictions

Yahoo Says: Mayra wins 106-104

I say: Another tough one that looks like it can go either way. I think I like Ryan this week a little more as his guys seem to have a little bit more favorable matchups. A win for Ryan, helps his quest for  a bye, a win for Mayra gets her one step closer to a playoff berth. Crucial game for both.
