Week 12 Recap

Rosie Palmers vs. Child Please - Rosie Palmers won 151.2 to 114.8. I keep my playoff hopes alive! Got off to a hot start on Thanksgiving with all but Stevan Ridley getting the bonus on Thursday and he was only shy by 3 yards. I never looked back. Should have played this roster all year... Child Please clinched a bye and the number 1 seed with a Red Hot Julius Peppers loss.
 
TP CharlieSheening vs. The Blackhole Black - The Blackhole Black won 123 to 92.3. Eli Manning played like Eli Manning, double digits from her running backs, Hakeem Nicks played like Hakeem Nicks, Cecil Shorts was a good pick up and the 49ers D played like the 49ers D... Maybe her team wasn’t so bad after all... Early injuries and bad luck killed this season for The Blackhole Black. This week The Blackhole Black has the opportunity to spoil Rosie Palmers playoff hopes! I love you Mom ;-) . TP CharlieSheening “clinched” a bye and the number 2 seed with a Sauce’n Ain’t Easy loss. (quotes because Sauce’n is unlikely to catch him in points tiebreaker)
 
The Burg YUH8ME vs. Sauce’n Ain’t Easy - The Burg YUH8ME won 104 to 70.8. YUH8ME pulls out a win despite picking the wrong QB and getting negative points from one of his running backs. Sauce’n Ain’t Easy had James Jones, Mike Wallace and Vernon Davis get less than 1 point... YUH8ME still has a chance at the playoffs.
 
Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. Chocolate Starfish - Chocolate Starfish won 123.5 to 111.4. Tony Romo and Dez Bryant lead the charge in this one as the Cowboys made a decent attempt at a comeback on Thanksgiving. That and the fact that Red Hot Julius Peppers chose the wrong Matt on Thanksgiving...
 
Catcha Fade vs. Team birdsinthekitch - Catcha Fade won 140.9 to 101. Talk about getting hot at the right time! Catcha Fade has won 5 in a row and clinched a playoff spot on the way. Team birdsinthekitch half of your wins have come against Chocolate Starfish and The Blackhole Black. Better find a way to beat a team that has some play makers.
 
Playoff Scenarios:
6. Team birdsinthekitch - The playoffs start now.
 
7. Rosie Palmers - Win and a Team birdsinthekitch loss.
 
8. The Burg YUH8ME - Win and a Rosie Palmers loss.
 
Seeds 3-5 are all up for grabs between Red Hot Julius Peppers, Sauce’n Ain’t Easy and Catcha Fade. For what it’s worth Sauce’n Ain’t Easy is looking a little vunerable with a couple of injuries...
 
Back Pats:
Catcha Fade - He spent the first 8 weeks or so in the bottom 4 (a few times in the bottom 2), but he’s racked up 5 W’s in a row and can now relax for a week.
 
C’mon Man:
TP CharlieSheening - Sitting Julio Jones 25.7 points.
 
Red Hot Julius Peppers - Sitting Matt Stafford 35.3 points.
 
Bold Prediction:
I went 2-3 this week. I’m 30-25 on the season.
 
This weeks winners: (Last time picking with my heart)
(Rosie Palmers vs. The Blackhole Black) I love my Momma, but I gotta get this W. Rosie Palmers wins.
 
(TP CharlieSheening vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers) TP CharlieSheening Wins.
 
(Sauce’n Ain’t Easy vs. Chocolate Starfish) Too many injuries, Chocolate Starfish Wins.
 
(Team birdsinthekitch vs. The Burg YUH8ME) The Burg YUH8ME Wins.
 
(Child Please vs. Catcha Fade) Child Please Wins.

Week 11 Recap

Team birdsinthekitch vs. Rosie Palmers - Rosie Palmers won 146 to 73.4. birdsinthekitch only had 2 guys show up this week. This week I went back to my bread and butter roster and I put up big numbers. In fact had I played this exact roster, excluding defense as I have switched a few time, I would have lost 5 games instead of 7 and I would be secure in the playoffs. The sexy girl is not always the keeper, I flirted with Reggie Bush 2 too many times... My playoff chances are still hanging by a thread though.

Chocolate Starfish vs. TP CharlieSheening - TP CharlieSheening won 122.7 to 101.3. Gronk had a huge day, but at a huge cost. Let’s see how TP CharlieSheening fares without a major contributor most likely for the remainder of our fantasy season.

Child Please vs. The Burg YUH8ME - The Burg YUH8ME won 96.8 to 90.5. Both teams only 2 guys show up this week, but RG3 scored enough for 2 (40.4). With that win The Burg YUH8ME is clinging to a slim chance at the playoffs.

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. The Blackhole Black - Red Hot Julius Peppers won 106.3 to 65.7. This one really was not even fair to start with. The Blackhole Black had 3 key contributors on bye this week. And with this loss she is officially eliminated from playoff contention. Depending on the results this week, however, she could play a significant spoiler role in week 13.

Catcha Fade vs. Sauce’n Ain’t Easy - Catcha Fade won 100.5 to 66.9. This one was also unfair to begin with. Both of Sauce’n Ain’t Easy’s QBs were out with injuries and his best RB was on bye this week. With the win Catcha Fade has put himself into a matchup with Team birdsinthekitch this week with the winner clinching the playoffs.

Playoff Scenarios:
5. Catcha Fade - Win and you’re in. Lose and you need to beat Child Please next week. Lose both and you will need Rosie Palmers and The Burg YUH8ME to lose 1 of their next 2, or outscore The Burg YUH8ME by 26.3 points over the next 2 weeks assuming he wins his next 2 matchups. (You are unlikely to catch Rosie Palmers if it comes to a total points tiebreaker)

6. Team birdsinthekitch - Win and you’re in. Lose and you need to beat The Burg YUH8ME next week. Lose both and you will need Rosie Palmers and The Burg YUH8ME to lose 1 of their next 2. (You play YUH8ME in the final week of the season) (You are unlikely to catch either Rosie Palmers or YUH8ME if it comes to a total points tiebreaker)

7. Rosie Palmers - I need to win both of my remaining matchups and have Catcha Fade or Team birdsinthekitch to lose both of their next matchups. (They play each other this week so that takes care of one of those losses) (I also lead the league in points scored and barring my team absolutely not showing up none of the remaining 4 can catch me if it comes down to a total points tiebreaker)

8. The Burg YUH8ME - (The Longest Shot) There is a chance. There are 2 scenarios here.
1st - If Catcha Fade beats Team birdsinthekitch: You need to win this week and beat Team birdsinthekitch next week and have Rosie Palmers lose 1 of his next 2.
2nd - If Team birdsinthekitch beats Catcha Fade: You need to win your next 2 matchups and have Catcha Fade lose to Child Please next week and have Rosie Palmers lose 1 of his next 2. All while hoping Catcha Fade doesn’t outscore you by 26.3 points over the next 2 weeks.

If the 1st of The Burg YUH8ME’s scenarios plays out then the playoffs will virtually start for both The Burg YUH8ME and Team birdsinthekitch next week!!!

THIS IS BOLD AND IN ALL CAPS FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE NEW OR THOSE OF YOU THAT FORGOT. THE FIRST TIEBREAKER IS TOTAL POINTS SCORED. MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE NO POINTS ON YOUR BENCH THESE NEXT 2 WEEKS AS THEY MAY BE CRUCIAL TO YOUR POSITION IN THE PLAYOFFS. Following that is Head to Head, Intra Division Record, and then total points against.

The above is mainly for Team birdsinthekitch. Your spot is not safe. In fact your spot is the EASIEST to take.

Back Pats:
Catcha Fade - As I may be headed for an epic slump, Catcha Fade is headed for an epic comeback. He started the first 4 weeks in the bottom 4, but now rolling on a 4 game winning streak.

Rosie Palmers/The Burg YUH8ME - Snapping long losing streaks.

C’mon Man:
The Blackhole Black and Chocolate Starfish - Our 2 finalists last season are our first 2 to be eliminated this season. Not only that, but both have been outscored by nearly 300 points over the course of the year.

Bold Prediction:
I went 2-3 this week. I’m 28-22 on the season.

This weeks winners: (Again picking with my heart)
(Rosie Palmers vs. Child Please) Rosie Palmers, obvious reasons.

(TP CharlieSheening vs. The Blackhole Black) TP CharlieSheening.

(The Burg YUH8ME vs. Sauce’n Ain’t Easy) The Burg YUH8ME. A win will keep his hopes alive thus keeping him interested in beating Team birdsinthekitch next week.

(Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. Chocolate Starfish) Red Hot Julius Peppers. I need him to put some pressure on Child Please for that bye in the playoffs so that Child Please has an interest in beating Catcha Fade Next week.

(Catcha Fade vs. Team birdsinthekitch) Team birdsinthekitch. Based on next weeks oponents. Catcha Fade plays Child Please and Team birdsinthekitch plays The Burg YUH8ME. I’ll take my playoff chances with Child Please beating Catcha Fade.

Week 10 Recap

Rosie Palmers vs. Sauce’n Ain’t Easy - Sauce’n Ain’t Easy won 117.7 to 110.9. I can’t seem to catch a break. Stevan Ridley goes over 100 yards and then gets a 2 yards loss on his last touch of the game... That mixed with the fact that I tried to get cute and start the Cowboys D over the Broncos lost me this game. Oh, and Reggie Bush got 0.9 points. The end is in sight for me. Meanwhile Sauce’n Ain’t Easy moves up to the #2 spot and clinches a playoff spot with the win.
 
Chocolate Starfish vs. Child Please - Child Please won 124.3 to 77.4. Starfish left a lot of points on the bench, but in the end it wouldn’t have mattered.
 
TP CharlieSheening vs. Team birdsinthekitch - Team birdsinthekitch won 67.4 to 66.1. Why on earth would someone play the Eagles Defense? They got -4 points and that’s why TP CharlieSheening lost.
 
Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. The Burg YUH8ME - Red Hot Julius Peppers won 152.5 to 106.1. Just about every player on Red Hot Julius Peppers’ team came to play on Sunday. And on a positive note, The Burg YUH8ME finally cracked 100 for the first time in 5 weeks.
 
The Blackhole Black vs. Catcha Fade - Catcha Fade won 111.1 to 62.6. The Blackhole Black loses another game because of poor managing. Not sure if you didn’t play Joe Flacco because he was playing the Raiders but he and Tony Gonzalez had better matchups this week and were even projected higher by ESPN than Eli Manning and Heath Miller. 69.9 points wasted.
 
Back Pats:
Catcha Fade - On a 3 game winning streak in pursuit of that last playoff spot, albeit against the 3 worst teams in the league, still a winning streak.
 
Red Hot Julius Peppers - Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson finally had monster games together.
 
C’mon Man:
Rosie Palmers - Now on a 6 game losing streak...
 
TP CharlieSheening - The Eagles D? Really?
 
The Blackhole Black - Finding ways to lose games.
 
Bold Prediction:
I went 4-1 this week. I’m 26-19 on the season.
 
This weeks winners:
This week, based on my current status in the league, I’m picking with my heart LOL.

Week 9 Recap

Rosie Palmers vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers - Red Hot Julius Peppers won 142.2 to 136.2. On a week where Doug Martin scored 56.2 points you’d think this was a blowout, but up until late in the 3rd quarter of the Monday night game I thought i still had a chance. Playoffs are looking slim as I’m on a 5 game losing streak...
 
Sauce’n Ain’t Easy vs. Team birdsinthekitch - Sauce’n Ain’t Easy won 135.5 to 101.2. The Bears D has had only 1 game below 10 points and 4 games over 20 points. That is a huge key in a few of Sauce’n victories. With the win Sauce’n Ain’t Easy clinched a playoff spot.
 
The Blackhole Black vs. Child Please - Child Please won 147.5 to 83.3. The Blackhole Black finally got 2 big RB performances, but no one else showed up. With the win Child Please clinched a playoff spot, he would have with a loss as well, and The Blackhole Black is 1 loss or a Catcha Fade win from elimination (coincidentally they play each other this week).
 
The Burg YUH8ME vs. TP CharlieSheening - TP CharlieSheening won 132.3 to 90.3. At least YUH8ME scored some points this week. With the win TP CharlieSheening cliched a playoff spot, he also would have clinched with a loss.
 
Catcha Fade vs. Chocolate Starfish - Catcha Fade won 132.5 to 94.3. With all the byes for Starfish this was pretty predictable, but the bears went nuts in all aspects on Sunday. Otherwise, this was a lot closer. And for the first time since week 2 Catcha Fade finds his way out of the losers list.
 
#BOOM
 
Back Pats:
Red Hot Julius Peppers - Doug Martin kills my dreams similar to the way Vick did a couple years ago.
 
Sauce’n Ain’t Easy - The Bears D is an offensive weapon in fantasy football this year.
 
Catcha Fade - Having 2 Bears (Matt Forte and Brandon Marshall) on a day when they put up 50+ is a good thing.
 
C’mon Man:
Rosie Palmers - I’m on a 5 game losing streak...
 
Bold Prediction:
I went 4-1 this week. I’m 22-18 on the season.
 
This weeks winners:
(Rosie Palmers vs. Sauce’n Ain’t Easy) Let’s try to shake this jinx. Sauce’n Ain’t Easy wins.
 
(Chocolate Starfish vs. Child Please) Dallas playing Philly could make this close but I’m picking Child Please.
 
(TP CharlieSheening vs. Team birdsinthekitch) The Steelers are playing the Chiefs but the Falcons are playing the Saints. TP CharlieSheening wins.
 
(Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. The Burg YUH8ME) YUH8ME is still holding onto injured players on his bench while continuing to struggle to score points. Red Hot Julius Peppers wins.
 
(The Blackhole Black vs. Catcha Fade) Boy do I wish The Blackhole Black could pull this one out... Catcha Fade wins.
