This was a mild upset to say the least, as Matt had been on a roll lately and looked to beat a team without a consistent QB and no Dez Bryant who was on bye. Nope, this wasn't even close for Mayra. Big Ben Roethlisberger wasn't the answer last week, but he was this week. 367 yards and 4 passing TD's, two of those to Antonio Brown who Mayra owns as well. When you have the QB-WR Combo and they double dip it makes such a huge difference. Brown added 147 yards to those two TD's as well. They combined for 67% of Mayra's points. Mayra even survived a Greg Jennings surprise inactive call. Alshon Jeffrey had another good yardage game and Vernon Davis scored a TD, to help round out her crucial win. For Matt, disappointing doesn't even begin to cover it. Matt traded Zac Stacy for Marques Colston but then proceeded not to play him in a head scratcher. It wouldn't have mattered, but it could've padded his score instead of playing either Golden Tate or Denarius Moore. Even worse news for Matt is that Jordan Reed suffered a concussion. That would be a big blow for Matt, as Reed was really becoming a valuable tight end. RGIII looked like crap until the last quarter where he was able to garbage his way to 22.5 points. Jordy Nelson had another good yardage game as well while Roddy White and Moore both scored TD's but did little with yards. The running backs for Matt were very disappointing especially Jamaal Charles who only managed 78 rushing yards. Just a bad, disappointing effort from Matt's team and now at 5-6 he's on the endangered species list for the playoffs. He cannot lose again. I'm not willing to give up on Matt yet, but his schedule is tough. Next up Drew and if he survives Drew, then it's me in the season finale. For Mayra, wow, what a win and a season saver. If Mayra can survive and make the playoffs, and get Aaron Rodgers back in time for the playoffs, she'll once again be a major dangerous team to be reckoned with. It's not a given for her either though, as she has Mike next, followed by Kenny.

I can't explain it anymore. It just happens. Big time underdog against a high octane playoff caliber team and what happens? Underperformances galore and another win to a record winning streak. At least in this instance Dad put up some nice points. In fact, Dad got the Blowout of The Week award to boot! This puts a huge dent in Albert's playoff push as he now must win out and get help from others to get in. So what happened? I had a feeling T.Y. Hilton's crappy Thursday start was a bad omen, but I didn't expect this from Albert. 55 points. Just wow. What a total letdown. A.J. Green? Held to 7 yards. That's not a typo...7. Even Peyton Manning was very conservative for his standards with 327 yards and only 1 TD pass. When Dwayne Bowe is your 2nd best player (57 and a score) you're in trouble. Frank Gore was terrible, Alfred Morris did the whole nice yardage, no TD thing and the rest of the supporting cast was just dreadful. Total unexpected game from Albert. For Dad, wow what a run this is. It's so unconventional and unpredictable. 7 wins a row and counting. Remember I said Dad got cold feet about Donald Brown and stuck with Ray Rice. It ended up being a solid decision. Ray Rice, at least for one week, was back in full #1 pick mode. 131 rushing yards and a score for 21.5 points that lead Dad's team in scoring. He was rewarded for sticking with his guy. Jimmy Graham and Colin Kaepernick continue to struggle, but as long as you keep getting performances from your receivers (Andre Johnson, 10 catches 116 yards, and Randle and Boldin both scored) and running backs (Rice and Chris Ivory, who had 98 yards and a score) you can hide those mediocre performances. Dad's win officially clinched him a playoff berth for the 3rd consecutive year and if he wins 1 more game, he'll clinch a bye. He'll more than likely accomplish this next week against a seriously depleted Eugene team. For Albert, well, the only silver lining is, his schedule is very friendly to run the table. If he can get past Ryan next week, he's got Eugene next. He'll need some help, but how things are going for the rest of the league, you can't rule Albert completely out just yet.

Well, I knew it wasn't going to be easy and I said Ryan's team isn't a normal cellar dweller, but luckily for me my players were great and I got the big win and clinched a playoff berth for the 3rd time in 4 years. It's nice to be back after last year's debacle. Chris Johnson set the pace, and though LeSean McCoy scared me yet again with an apparent hamstring injury, he came back and got back to work and ended up with over 150 total yards and 2 TD's. That's exactly the kind of game you need from your 1st round pick. Vincent Jackson absolutely LOVES feasting on shit defenses and that's exactly what he did against the Falcons yet again. 10 receptions for 165 and a score. When he's good, he's GOOD. Just wish he was more consistent. Matthew Stafford seemed to be on his way to a MONSTER game after he had 327 passing yards in the 1st half, but he slowed down and didn't do much in the 2nd half. Still, a 22.5 point performance is good enough for me. Torrey Smith even chipped in a TD. The only disappointments were Pierre Garcon (to his defense, RGIII was AWFUL most of the night) and Brandon Marshall, who was a nonfactor in the Ravens-Bears game that was hampered by bad weather. Still overall, another high scoring lights out performance and I needed it all, because Ryan scored the 3rd highest points of the week. Only Kenny Stills didn't score in double digits. Larry Fitzgerald had a TD, so did Julius Thomas and Eddie Lacy. Ben Tate had over 100 total yards while DeSean Jackson was relatively disappointing with 4 catches for 82 yards. Ryan got huge games from Harry Douglas (he had 134 and a score, which was an 80 yard bomb) and Cam Newton (209 passing yards, 3 Passing TD's, and 62 rushing yards). Just a nightmare season for Ryan, who has had bad break after bad break. The season can't come to a close fast enough. Now that I got the playoff spot, my work is not done. I want a bye dammitt, and hopefully I can keep rollin when I play Leland next week (without LeSean McCoy). Ryan will once again try to play spoiler against Albert. If he beats Albert, he'll knock him out of the playoffs.

Yikes....yup this was horrendous. It's funny because it was right up Leland's alley. Drew's team sucked and usually Leland's able to do just enough to get the upset win. Leland's team though was even worse. Drew's 65 points is the lowest winning score of the season. This is Leland's 3rd game under 60 points, 6th under 70. It's that bad. This team just can't score points. And now officially, Leland's playoff push is dead. So we officially will have a new champion. It's the first time the defending champion has not made the playoffs the next season. For Drew, besides his Thursday night plays of Luck and Kendall Wright, everyone else was bad. Peterson, Bush, Nicks, Amendola, Cameron, Keenan Allen ALL SINGLE DIGIT POINTS. Yet DREW STILL WON. Half of Leland's team scored 4.5 or less. Greg Olsen and Tom Brady tied for highest points for Leland at 13.5 a piece. I think that's enough time spent on this atrocity. Leland plays me next and I hope his guys play like this at least for one more week, while Drew will try to go 2 for 2 in knocking people of the playoffs by playing Matt next.

Hands down the most interesting matchup of the week. This literally came down to the final play of the game as the Patriots were driving and got all the way to the 17 and if Gronk catches a game winning TD, it would've completely Mark's comeback. Unfortunately a pass interference was called and then taken back and the game was over and Mark is now 1-5 including 4 straight losses since starting 5-0. Brutal luck. At least his team showed signs of life. It's the 1st time since his week 5 win that he has scored 100 points. Marshawn Lynch and Josh Gordon did the heavy lifting to help Mike get that all important 7th win and get a step closer to securing a playoff spot. Lynch's yardage wasn't great, but 3 total TD's got the job done. Josh Gordon had 125 yards and a score as well. Jarrett Boykin had another nice yardage game with 91 yards and Tony Gonzalez was decent with 7 receptions for 63 yards and a 2 point conversion. Wes Welker was having a good game as well with 8 receptions for 72 yards but he ended up with a concussion and now he's questionable for Sunday night's game against the Patriots. That would be a huge blow for Mike if he misses. For Mark, Nick Foles was good with 298 passing yards and 48 rushing yards and a rushing TD. Foles might be Mark's new QB of the future, but unfortunately he'll be on bye so it's back to Matt Ryan next week. Matt Forte had another solid game with 83 rushing yards, 42 receiving yards and a receiving TD. Gronk and Brandon Lafell tries to make a comeback as they combined for 2 TD's but it wasn't enough to end the losing streak. It doesn't get any easier for Mark. He plays Kenny next and if he loses again he's in legit danger of not making the playoffs at all. Mike is 1 win away from securing a playoff spot and he can do it next week by beating Mayra.

Yeah, this wasn't even close. Kenny easily picks up his 7th win of the season with a 34.5 point victory over Eugene. Calvin Johnson has been such a godsend since Kenny traded for him. He had another monster game with 179 receiving yards and 2 more TD's for 32 points. Oddly enough Kenny's role players were the ones that carried the rest of the load. Drew Brees was relatively quiet with only 1 passing TD, and while Demaryius Thomas was good with 121 receiving yards, he didn't score. It was Rashard Jennings (150 rushing yards and a score for 22 points) and Charles Clay (90 and a score) that were the 2nd and 3rd leading scorers for Kenny. It's good to get a win without having to rely on just 3 guys to carry the bulk of the scoring. It was more of a spread out effort this time around. For Eugene, he did get a okish game from Russell Wilson and both Doug Baldwin and Gates scored TD's, but the rest of this team is just not deep enough to keep up with high scoring teams. Eric Decker hasn't scored in forever, and you can't expect huge games from guys like Eddie Royal and Santonio Holmes. Eugene takes on Dad next week (without Russell Wilson and Gio Bernard by the way) while Kenny looks to secure a spot in the playoffs by trying to beat Mark.
