Here we are, last two weeks of the season. Every matchup this week is of big importance. Whether it's me and dad trying to get our byes wrapped up, Mike and Kenny securing their playoff spots, and Mayra, Mark, Albert, and Matt trying to stay alive in the playoff hunt, their is something at stake in every matchup. Everyone now has played everyone in the league, so week 12 begins the cycle back to week 1 opponents. Let's get to it
Danny's Little Giants (8-3) vs
Next!!!! (4-7)
Matchup Stats
All Time Record: I lead series 3-1-1
Last Matchup: I beat Leland 95.5-66 in Week 1
Key Players
Danny's Little Giants: Matthew Stafford (Bucs) Brandon Marshall (Rams) Vincent Jackson (Lions) Pierre Garcon (49ers) Torrey Smith (Jets) Jason Witten (Giants) Chris Johnson (Raiders)
Next!!: Tom Brady (Broncos) Steve Smith (Dolphins)
Wild Cards
Danny's Little Giants: No McCoy, can Ogbonnaya fill in?
Next!: Basically this whole team outside of Brady
Predictions
Yahoo Says: I win 102-78
I Say: I win. I'm not going to get cute with this. C'mon now, I think my team has proved how good it is. There should be no way this is close even without LeSean McCoy. One thing I am scared about, Leland's "fantasy defense" has been pretty good the last 4 games. Even in the loss against Drew, he held Drew to 65 points. If my guys do what they are supposed to do, this should be an easy win. It would be a huge win for me towards securing a bye.
Dr. Light's Robots (5-6) vs
I'm A Paul Heyman Guy (4-6)
Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Series is tied 2-2-1
Last Matchup: Drew beat Matt 143.5-118.5 in Week 1
Key Players
Dr. Light's Robots: Robert Griffin III (49ers) Jordy Nelson (Vikings) Marques Colston (Falcons) Roddy White (Saints) Jamaal Charles (Chargers)
I'm A Paul Heyman Guy: Andrew Luck (Cardinals) Danny Amendola (Broncos) Adrian Peterson (Packers) Reggie Bush (Bucs) Keenan Allen (Chiefs)
Wild Cards
Dr. Light's Robots: RGIII tough matchup. Roddy White's health. No Jordan Reed.
I'm A Paul Heyman Guy: Peterson's health, WR production from all spots. Reggie Bush losing snaps?
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Matt wins 97-96
I Say: Drew wins. Oh boy, this is a big one for Matt. He loses, it will all but seal his playoff hopes. Here's something I just thought of though.... if Drew wins, he actually might still have a chance to make the playoffs! He'd need to win out and keep 3 out of Albert, Mayra, Matt, Mark at 6 wins. It COULD HAPPEN. Mayra, Matt and Mark all have difficult schedules. Albert would probably be a lock at 7 wins at least with his matchup against Eugene. Drew would need to win via the points tiebreaker but he has the team to do it. I think he'll pick up the win this week.
Passion De La Puente (7-4) vs
Bigger Balls (6-5)
Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Series is tied 1-1
Last Matchup: Mike beat Mayra 112.5-86 in Week 1
Key Players
Passion De La Puente: Tony Romo (Giants) Josh Gordon (Steelers) Wes Welker* (Patriots) Zac Stacy (Bears) Tony Gonzalez* (Saints)
Bigger Balls: Antonio Brown (Browns) Alshon Jeffrey (Rams) Dez Bryant (Giants) Knowshon Moreno (Patriots) Vernon Davis (Redskins)
Wild Cards
Passion De La Puente: Wes Welker and Tony Gonzalez' health
Bigger Balls: Tough Matchup for Antonio Brown. Darren Sproles Health
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Mike wins 104-97
I Say: Mike wins. This is a tough matchup to guess because of three key players who are injured. Tony Gonzalez, Wes Welker, and Darren Sproles are all questionable for their games. All things even I like Mike's team a little better. If Mike wins he'll reach 8 wins, which guarantees a playoff spot. Mayra really needs the win more to stay alive. Should be interesting to say the least.
Not Even Lying (7-4) vs
Shock The Monkey (6-5)
Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Mark Leads Series 1-0
Last Matchup: Mark beat Kenny 126.5-107 in Week 1
Key Players
Not Even Lying: Drew Brees (Falcons) Demaryius Thomas (Patriots) Calvin Johnson (Bucs) Rashard Jennings (Titans)
Shock The Monkey: Victor Cruz (Cowboys) Matt Forte (Rams) Rob Gronkowski (Broncos)
Wild Cards
Not Even Lying: Running Back Play. Production outside of big 3
Shock The Monkey: Ryan Fitzpatrick at QB. Miles Austin 100%. Consistent production outside of Forte/Cruz/Gronk
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Kenny wins 106-91
I Say: Kenny wins. Man how things change. The 1st time around Mark beat Kenny pretty easily for the first of 5 straight wins. Now in Week 12, Mark is fighting for his playoff life as he only has once more since the 5-0 start. Kenny is not the team you want to face when you are in survival mode. I don't think Mark has the talent to try to outscore Kenny's team. If he loses, it'll be that much tougher to make the playoffs. For Kenny, a win gets a guaranteed playoff spot.
The Bad Robofies (9-2) vs
Springville-Warrior (3-8)
Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Dad leads series 1-0
Last Matchup: Dad beat Eugene 138.5-74 in Week 1
Key Players
The Bad Robofies: Colin Kaepernick (Redskins) Andre Johnson (Jaguars) Ray Rice (Jets) Jimmy Graham (Falcons)
Springville-Warrior: Eric Decker (Patriots) Ryan Mathews (Chiefs) DeMarco Murray (Giants) Antonio Gates (Chiefs)
Wild Cards
The Bad Robofies: Can Kaepernick finally break out of slump? Chris Ivory production. Ray Rice officially back?
Springville-Warrior: Whole team outside of Decker/Mathews/Gates/Murray
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Dad wins 95-75
I Say: Dad wins. Well it looks like that Week 1 win wasn't a fluke after all. 8 wins later and Dad's on top of the world. I've actually never called Dad such a big favorite, but this week he is. There's no way he drops this game. Eugene's without both Russell Wilson and Gio Bernard which would be the only way I would've given him a shot to win. Dad should lock up the bye with a 10th victory.
Channel 4 News Team (5-6) vs
Hoosier Daddy (2-9)
Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Albert leads series 6-3
Last Matchup: Albert beat Ryan 137.5-74.5 in Week 1
Key Players
Channel 4 News Team: Peyton Manning (Patriots) Alfred Morris (49ers) Frank Gore (Redskins)
Hoosier Daddy: Cam Newton (Dolphins) Larry Fitzgerald (Colts) Harry Douglas (Saints) Eddie Lacy (Vikings) Ben Tate (Jaguars) Julius Thomas (Patriots)
Wild Cards
Channel 4 News Team: No A.J. Green. WR/TE Production
Hoosier Daddy: No DeSean Jackson. Julius Thomas' health.
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Albert wins (Don't know how Ryan's going to manage his roster so I'm not using the score)
I Say: Albert wins. It's going to be tough, but I think Albert will get the W over Ryan. He needs it to keep his playoff hopes alive.
