Week 6 Matchups and Predictions

Were nearly halfway through the season now and....it's still a jumbled mess. Mayra though is in great shape, as she holds a 3 game lead over most of the league and most importantly a 2 game lead for one of the two coveted byes. Every week the most important question until it's finally done will be "Is this the week Mayra finally loses?" She's got Drew this week and it might not be a cakewalk. Here are the matchups for Week 6.

Dr. Light's Robots (2-3)   vs
Arturo's Beans (2-3)

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: I lead series 7-3
Last Matchup: Matt beat me 99.5-98 in Week 13 of the 2013 Season

Key Players
Arturo's Beans: Brandon Marshall (Falcons) Victor Cruz (Eagles) Jeremy Maclin (Giants) LeSean McCoy (Giants)

Dr. Light's Robots: Jordy Nelson (Dolphins) Emmanuel Sanders (Jets) Andre Johnson (Colts)

Wild Cards
Arturo's Beans: My whole team. Can they finally get it together?

Dr. Light's Robots: Joe Flacco at QB. No Jamaal Charles.

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Matt wins 94-93
I Say: Matt wins. How can I pick my team to win right now? They have to prove to me they can produce before I trust them again. Maybe some new blood (Victor Cruz, Jeremy Maclin) will change things up. Until I see with my own two eyes though, I'll assume yet another letdown.

Channel 4 News Team (4-1) vs
NEXT!!!!! (2-3)   

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Leland needs series 3-1
Last Matchup: Albert beat Leland 115.5-77.5 in Week 7 of the 2013 Season

Key Players
Channel 4 News Team: A.J. Green (Panthers)* Peyton Manning (Jets) Steve Smith (Bucs) Arian Foster (Colts)

NEXT!!!!: Aaron Rodgers (Dolphins) Michael Floyd (Redskins) Ben Tate (Steelers)

Wild Card
Channel 4 News Team: AJ Green's health. Fred Jackon's health.

NEXT!!!: As always..like a broken record..can Leland's guys all go off and score points?

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Albert wins 98-91
I Say: Albert wins. A.J. Green would be a huge loss for Albert if he is indeed ruled out, but I still think he'll have enough ammo to beat Leland.

Rocket Man (3-2) vs
Woe Is Me (2-3)

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Kenny leads series 1-0
Last Matchup: Kenny beat Eugene 113-78.5 in Week 11 of 2013 Season

Key Players
Rocket Man: Matthew Stafford (Vikings) Randall Cobb (Dolphins) Julio Jones (Bears) DeMarco Murray (Seahawks) Martellus Bennett (Falcons)

Woe Is Me: Vincent Jackson (Ravens) Colin Keapernick (Rams) Demaryius Thomas (Jets) Frank Gore (Rams)

Wild Cards
Rocket Man: New players in lineup.

Woe Is Me: Great possibility no Calvin. Multiple question marks in lineup.

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Eugene says 96-81
I Say: Eugene wins. Maybe Kenny gets a chance if Calvin plays, but Kenny's roster is pretty thin and I just don't see it being able to compete with Eugene who adds Randall Cobb and Matthew Stafford to the mix. The bad luck continues for Kenny.

The Bad Robofies (3-2) vs
Shock The Monkey (1-4)

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Mark Leads Series 2-0
Last Matchup: Mark beat Dad 126-84.5 in Week 13 of the 2013 Season

Key Players
The Bad Robofies: Russell Wilson (Cowboys) Alfred Morris (Cardinals) Gio Bernard (Panthers)

Shock The Monkey: Matt Ryan (Bears) Matt Forte (Falcons)

Wild Cards
The Bad Robofies: Knowshon Moreno's status. No Jimmy Graham. Difficult matchup for RB's

Shock The Monkey: Crabtree and Decker health. Montee Ball out. Weak Roster overall

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Mark wins 95-88
I Say: Dad wins. I think Yahoo has a rather high prediction for Mark, 20 points is a super high prediction for Matt Forte..and there's no doubt he can reach it, but that's a reallllly good game. Dad has roster troubles of his own, but I think he pulls out the win here.

Winter Is Here (2-3) vs
Hoosier Daddy (1-4)

Matchup Stats
No Matchup Stats

Key Players
Winter is Here: Marshawn Lynch (Cowboys) DeSean Jackson (Cardinals) Rob Gronkowski (Bills)

Hoosier Daddy: Alshon Jeffrey (Falcons) Roddy White (Bears) Eddie Lacy (Dolphins)

Wild Cards
Winter is Here: No Brees, Austin Davis at QB.

Hoosier Daddy: No Rashad Jennings. Garcon's struggles

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Ryan wins 98-88
I Say: Ryan wins. Ryan's run into some bad luck matchups and though losing Rashad Jennings hurts, I think Ryan takes this matchup to breathe a little life in his season and go 2-4.

Bigger Balls (5-0) vs
JTG's Warehouse (3-2)

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Mayra Leads series 2-1
Last Matchup: Mayra beat Drew 95-94.5 in Week 8 of the 2013 Season

Key Players

Bigger Balls: Andrew Luck (Texans) Dez Bryant (Seahawks) Antonio Brown (Browns) Le'Veon Bell (Browns)

JTG's Warehouse: Kelvin Benjamin (Bengals) Andre Elllington (Redskins) Julius Thomas (Jets) Andre Williams (Eagles) Branden Oliver (Raiders)

Wild Cards
Bigger Balls: 3 Thursday Night Plays. Difficult Dez Matchup

JTG's Warehouse: Full Time Roles to Andre Williams and Branden Oliver

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Mayra wins 107-97
I Say: Drew wins..yup picking Drew as the upset special. Drew won the Branden Oliver sweepstakes and also was lucky enough to have Andre Williams on his roster. The potential of this team is huge but it could also bust. I just think Drew has a ton of guys with very high floors and if they hit, it could be enough to the dethrone the Queen.
