Key Players

Next!!!: Cam Newton (Seahawks) LeSean McCoy (Cardinals) 

Hoosier Daddy: Roddy White (Lions) Eddie Lacy (Saints)

Wild Cards

Next!!!: Difficult matchups for Newton/McCoy

Hoosier Daddy: Weak roster

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Leland wins 83.06-82.90
I Say: Ryan wins..it's close but I know more or less what I'm getting with Ryan than Leland's. Who knows what Andre Holmes, Justin Hunter, Brandin Cooks and Travis Kelce do. Too unpredictable. 

Dr. Light's Robots (4-3) vs
Rocket Man (4-3)

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Series is tied 1-1
Last Matchup: Eugene Beat Matt 95-82.5 in the 7th place of the Michael Wiley Loser Bowl.

Key Players
Dr. Light's Robots: Jordy Nelson (Saints) Emmanuel Sanders (Chargers) Jamaal Charles (Rams) Sammy Watkins (Jets)

Rocket Man: Julio Jones (Lions) Randall Cobb (Saints) DeMarco Murray (Redskins) 

Wild Cards
Dr. Light's Robots: Alex Smith consistency. Trent Richardson usage.

Rocket Man: Who's at QB? Where does Vereen fit in?

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Matt wins 105-98
I Say: Eugene wins. I have a feeling Vereen's going to fit in the gameplan somewhere. This is going to be a super competitive matchup and there's no doubt Matt can win..but I'm going to give the slight edge to Eugene here. He's needing a bounce back win (Rotoworld!) and I think he narrowly gets it here.


Channel 4 News Team (6-1)    vs
The Bad Robofies (4-3) 

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Series is tied 3-3
Last Matchup: Dad beat Albert 102.5-55 in Week 11 of the 2013 Season

Key Players

Channel 4 News Team: Peyton Manning (Chargers) Alshon Jeffrey (Patriots) A.J. Green (Ravens) Arian Foster (Titans) Greg Olsen (Seahawks) Steve Smith (Bengals)

The Bad Robofies: Russell Wilson (Panthers) Brandon Marshall (Patriots) Alfred Morris (Cowboys) Gio Bernard (Ravens) Jimmy Graham (Packers)

Wild Cards
Channel 4 News Team: A.J. Green going to play? Olsen tough matchup. Cordarrelle Patterson high risk play.

The Bad Robofies: Right QB Choice? Jimmy Graham's health. Brandon Marshall struggles.

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Albert wins 104-95
I Say: Albert wins. This is why losing to Kenny was such a big blow. Right now  Albert it just rolling through the league, and though Alshon Jeffrey was a no show last week, he's still too talented to do that again. Dad can beat him, but I think Albert will win dropping Dad down to 4-4 and right at .500.

Woe Is Me (3-4) vs
Shock The Monkey (1-6)

Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Series is tied 1-1
Last Matchup: Kenny Beat Mark 106-80.5 in Week 12 of the 2013 season

Key Players
Woe Is Me: Tony Romo (Redskins) Demaryius Thomas (Chargers) Vincent Jackson (Vikings) 

Shock The Monkey: Just...no

Wild Cards
Woe Is Me: Weeeeeak ass running backs. Plays outside of Demaryius, Romo, and V Jax.

Shock The Monkey: Glennon over Matt Ryan..and the rest of the "Pro Bowl" Squad

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Kenny wins 88-74
I Say: Kenny wins. Could Kenny ever get a bigger break? His season is basically over and he pulls a miracle win off Dad and now gets a gift in playing Mark. He's going to be 4-4 after starting 0-3. It's too bad Kenny's roster is PAINFULLY thin because he is put in a position to make a solid run at the playoffs. 



JTG's Warehouse (4-3) vs
Winter Is Here (3-4)

No Matchup Stats

Key Players

JTG's Warehouse: Kelvin Benjamin (Seahawks) Golden Tate (Falcons) Andre Ellington (Eagles) Julius Thomas (Chargers) 

Winter Is Here: Drew Brees (Packers) T.Y. Hilton (Steelers) DeSean Jackson (Cowboys) Marshawn Lynch (Panthers) Rob Gronkowski (Bears) 

Wild Cards

JTG's Warehouse: Cutler's ups and downs. Brandon Oliver and Chris Ivory Production

Winter is Here: Brees Blowup game still pending. Ingram production. LaFell at flex. Welker production

Yahoo Says: Drew wins 104-93
I say: Alex wins. I'm gonna go upset here (which I suck at, sorry Alex) and say Alex gets a much needed win here. Drew's team is so weird..I just never know which of his guys is gonna show up. Alex is kind of in the same boat though, cause T.Y. Hilton and Desean Jackson are capable of HUGE games yet also HGUE duds as well. Alex needs this W to stay afloat in the playoff race.
