Koko's X-Cats (5-4) vs. Indiana Ironmen (5-4)
The X-Cats of course rely on Larry Johnson but now have a revenge minded Steve McNair going up against his old team. The wildcard for the Ironmen could be the Ravens defense. Tom Brady will do his damage against the Jets but Ahman Green will be hard pressed to get results agaisnt the Vikings very tough run D.
Stevies Scapegoats (3-6) vs. Rhode Island Dynamic (6-3)
The Dynamic is standing tall with a high performing Peyton Manning and Corey Dillon is due for a big day as well. The SCapegoats are going to be hard pressed for points with Brett Farve regressing to his turnover prone ways and Edgerrin James being a non entity this season. Their best bet is the Broncos defense who get to beat down the Raiders offense.
Evil Trav's Minions (6-3)vs. Cooney Quest (2-6-1)
The Minons are relying on a desperate to rebound Donovan McNabb and Tiki Barber who will have to sludge through the tough Bears defense but on the other side is his teammate Brandon Jacobs who can syphon points away from him with end zone carries and take them to the Quest. Mciheal Vick is also looking to continue his new passing prowess at home.
RPI10 (3-6) vs. Eat My Shorts (5-4)
Eat My Shorts will ride LaDanian Thomlinson obviously but the catalys of vicotry may come from what Duece McAllister does in Pittsburgh and what Brad Johnson does at home against the Packers. RPI10 has Thomlinson's opposite Rudi Johnson who will be hard pressed for yards against the tough Chargers run defense. They really need Eli Manning to come through against the Bears to get the win.
T-Hawks (6-2-1) vs. Cromer Smash! (2-6-1)
Well outside of the idiotic drama happening with the Smash the actual game features Jake Dellohme and Willie Parker leading the Smash while the T-Hawks have Phillip Rivers and ironically Delhommes recievers Smith and Johnson thus pretty much negating his points.
Nor Cal Crushers (7-2)vs.stantheman (8-1)
Game of the week!
Niether team has quarterbacks that inspire tremendous confidence (David Carr for the Crushers. David Garrard for stantheman) but the Crushers have a three headed hydra at running back with Clinton Portis, Kevin Jones and Chester Taylor to stanthemans one running back Laurence Maroney. Maroney is good but he can't overcome three good backs production all by himself. stantheman needs the Bears defense to be their big play selves tonight to get the win.
{} (3-6) vs. FIRST Force (3-5-1)
{} has a problem. First they are depending on the undependable JP Losman for points at the quarterback. Secondly JP's favorite target is on FIRST Forces roster. Not good. Reuben Droughns and Mike Bell have to somehow make up the point deficency. FIRST Force hopes to get something good out of Tony Romo and Dominic Rhodes in his limited touches.
Silver Lobos (5-4) vs. sigmakittens (1-8)
Only the kitties could have players missing after the byes are over (no Willis McGahee). I doubt Jamal Lewis can carry this team alone to victory (I've given up on Lamont Jordna making anything happen). The Silver Lobos are seeking positve production from Carson Palmer and Deshaun Foster. Both have been hit or miss so this one could be closre than the records indicate.
Meatball Artists (5-4) vs. The Very Fast Blitz (3-6)
The Meatball Artist look for Marc Bulger to continue his efficent play and Julius Jones and Steven Jackson to counter Jospeh Addai and Brian Westbrook of the Very Fast Blitz. Not sure how much the Blitz can expect from Marc Brunell. Terell Owens could be a big factor for them.
Amazin' Blue (7-2)vs. Boilers 1529 (3-6)
For a 7-2 team Amazin' Blue's roster does nto seem all that scary. Tatum Bell is the top threat this week unless Torry Holts blows up again (recivers are up and down in fantasy football). Boilers 1529 has a worse record but better looking players in Drew Brees and Warrick Dunn and if they perform as advertised they could steal this one.
