Week 11 Preview

GAME OF THE WEEK

Iron City Lagers (7-3) @ Fightin' Bitin' Beavers (7-3)

Both teams have won 4 straight and are tied for the lead in the Left, so something has to give this week. Based on last night’s game, Tim has spotted Steve’s team 15 points. Tebow wasn’t great, but then again, Green and Cromartie were worse. I like Stafford and Johnson to keep the Lager’s competitive, but in the end I think FBB overwhelms them.

Prediction:  Beavers assume control of the Left.

Beavers 27 – Lagers 16

Murrysville Drow (4-6) @ Mighty Midtowne Mimes (4-6)

Drow has the best offense in the league, but one of the worst defenses. It is just the opposite for the Mimes, where they have one of the worst offenses, but the 2nd best defense. So what wins - a better offense or better defense? Looking at the matchups, I take the offense.

Prediction:  Drow on the road.

Drow 31 – Mimes 14

 

Export Flannel (5-4-1) @ Bill's Team (5-5)

The Flannel has ripped off 3 straight to assume control in the Right. Bill has been competitive, but sits just on the outside of the division. In terms of power, both teams are pretty evenly matched. Looking at the matchups, something this week just is leading me to believe that Manning and McCoy are due for a letdown, while I like the Bill’s Chris Johnson to play better down the stretch.

Prediction:  Bill makes it 3 in a row.

Bill 28 – Flannel 22

 

N.Y. Hamburglers (2-8) @ Rednecks (6-3-1)

Von Miller on Thursday night has already pushed the Hamburglers to an 18 point deficit. On the other side, David Harris dropped 3 on the Rednecks. I like most of my matchups this week, except at QB, where I may be forced to run Flacco out there. I also like Jamie’s matchups with MJD and Ryan. I think this week I put up a good defense effort to counter a good offensive effort from the ‘burglers and win in a low scoring squeaker.

Prediction:  The luck streak continues.

Rednecks 16 – Hamburglers 11

 

Capo Di Tutti Capi (4-6) @ Old No. 7 (2-8)

Mark Sanchez. Ouch. Capo, despite carrying nearly the best offense in FLoF, have lost 3 in a row, and face a No. 7 team with not much left to play for. Looking across the board, I really don’t like any of the matchups for Capo. I like Fitzpatrick in a rebound game, and for the Bottle to send Capo to their 4th straight defeat.

Prediction:  Capo’s inexplicable season continues to deteriorate.

ON7 20 – Capo 15

 

Roger's Ramjets (5-5) @ Malleus Maleficarum (8-2)

Malleus comes into the game with the best power rating, by far, and seeming have the Middle sown up with only 4 games left. Roger needs to win to keep pace in Right behind a surging Flannel squad. Behind easy matchups for Brady and Forte, this is not the week you want to play Haydn. I do like Roger to post a pretty good score; it just isn’t going to be nearly enough.

Prediction:  Malleus at home - again.

Malleus 40 – Ramjets 27
