Week 12 preview

GAME OF THE WEEK

Fightin' Bitin' Beavers (8-3) @ Export Flannel (6-4-1)

The Beavers have won 5 straight and are in sole possession of first in the Left. The Flannel has rattled off 4 straight and sits atop the Right. The Beavers lose AP for a bit, but still have some strong matchups this week.   Looking at the matchups, I think this is the week the teams catch up to Tebow. While I think FBB will score their share, I just like the Eli and LeSean matchups better.

Prediction:  Flannel rides home field to a win.

Flannel 24 – Beavers 22

 

Murrysville Drow (5-6) @ N.Y. Hamburglers (3-8)

The Hamburglers have been pretty tough of late and Drow looks to keep the momentum going this week. I like Aaron to go crazy this week this, while Ryan will struggle a bit. As for the rest of the matchups, nothing on the Ham side looks promising (remember when a RB matchup at Houston was golden?). I think Doug wins - and by a pretty healthy margin.

Prediction:  Drow stays in the Wildcard hunt.

Drow 44 – Hamburglers 20

 

Mighty Midtowne Mimes (4-7) @ Capo Di Tutti Capi (4-7)

Both teams sit at 4 and 7 and look to be playing out the season just trying to avoid the Toilet. As far as matchups go, River and Tolbert just don’t look that appealing. Capo has managed to blow games despite what the matchups look like on paper, just not this week. I’ll take Capo in a rout (assuming Chris put Brees back in the lineup).

Prediction:  Capo.

Capo 36 – Mimes 10

 

Iron City Lagers (7-4) @ Roger's Ramjets (5-6)

Roger has struggled as of late, while the Lagers have firm control of at least one Wildcard slot. This is my pick to have the highest combined score of the week, as I like the matchups for both teams. In the end, however, I think the Lager with Stafford and Foster will pull away from the Roger, who will not have as good a showing at the RB position.

Prediction:  Lagers in a high scoring affair.

ICL 38 – Ramjets 30

Rednecks (6-4-1) @ Old No. 7 (3-8)

With the loss last week, the Rednecks hold on the Wildcard is now in a precarious position. ON7 has nothing really left to play for outside of avoiding the toilet bowl. I actually didn’t do that bad last week while 7 has basically not been able to get anything going on the offensive side. I think the trade for VJ will help, and I like the matchups this week for 7. I think ON7 has one of their best offensive outings to date.

Prediction: Rednecks lose another close one.

ON7 22 – Rednecks 18

 

Malleus Maleficarum (9-2) @ Bill's Team (5–6)

Mallues sits firmly in first place while Bill is trying to make a late season run for a WC slot. Tom Brady has been hot again for Malleus and face another strong QB from Bill. I still don’t trust CJ and I like Haydn’s matchups this week. The offense for the Hammer should roll and any progress from Bill on the offensive front should be countered by Malleus’s strong D.

Prediction:  Malleus goes to double digit wins for the year.

Malleus 34 – Bill 14
