Week 8 Recap

Just call it the playoff division... Here we go:

No Pryors vs. Child Please - No Pryors won 111.1 to 98.9. Nothing too interesting in this matchup. Child Please played his best lineup. It just wasn't enough.

Chocolate Starfish vs. Coples Therapy - Chocolate Starfish won 139.6 to 100.8. Despite the quick start with Cam Newton on Thursday night Coples therapy failed to follow through on my upset pick. He got a total of 3 points from 2 RB spots. Not gonna cut it. Chocolate Starfish can clinch a playoff spot this week with a win (hopefully not) or losses by Coples Therapy, Child Please, and Red Hot Julius Peppers.

The trap birdsinthekitch vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers - The trap birdsinthekitch won 126.8 to 99.2. The trap birdsinthekitch put a lot of stock in that Dallas vs. Detroit game and it paid off. He got more than half of his points from 3 players in that game.

TP CharlieSheening vs. The Burg YUH8ME - TP CharlieSheening won 96.8 to 69.6. For the second straight week The Burg YUH8ME has started a QB that got negative points. Talk about bad luck.

Sauce'n Ain't Easy vs. The Blackhole Black - Sauce'n Ain't Easy won 69.2 to 52.2. Yes both of these teams fielded full rosters... Only thing to note about this matchup is The Burg YUH8ME would have beat both of you this week....

Back Pats:
The entire playas division - As it stands right now every team is in the playoffs.

C'Mon Man:
The Burg YUH8ME - Its not often that you can say swapping 1 position would have won the matchup on a week when you score less than 70, but Andy Dalton's 46 would have given you the victory.

Special C'Mon Man to the entire pimps division - As of right now all but The Blackhole Black are on the outside looking in and even she is dead last in the power rankings...

Bold Predictions:
I went 2-3 this week. That makes me 27-13 on the year. (3-1 on UPSET SPECIALS).

Chocolate Starfish vs. No Pryors - ***UPSET SPECIAL*** I haven't picked myself that much this season, but with Peyton Manning finally on bye I think this is the week Chocolate Starfish finally takes another loss after a 6 game winning streak. No Pryors wins.

Coples Therapy vs. The trap birdsinthekitch - If Coples Therapy can find some healthy players to start at the RB position he has a chance, but for now The trap birdsinthekitch wins. 

The Blackhole Black vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers - Red Hot Julius Peppers' 4 best players are on bye this week. The Blackhole Black hangs on for the win.

Sauce'n Ain't Easy vs. TP CharlieSheening - ***UPSET SPECIAL*** Sauce'n Ain't Easy has some big scorers with matchup advantages. Sauce'n Ain't Easy wins.

The Burg YUH8ME vs. Child Please - ***UPSET SPECIAL*** The last time they matched up we had a classic with Child Please winning 155 to 151. This should be another close one. The Burg YUH8ME pulls out the upset.

Week 7 Recap

Happy Birthday...! :-)

The Burg YUH8ME vs. No Pryors - No Pryors won 129.5 to 64.4. Sorry to hand you a loss on your birthday. The Burg YUH8ME just had a bad weekend for fantasy. Alshon Jeffery was his only players in double digits and his QB got him -0.9 points.

Coples Therapy vs. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - Sauce'n Ain't Easy won 123.7 to 89.9. Sauce'n Ain't Easy finally had a good weekend from his big name guys. Meanwhile, CJ Spiller is dragging Coples Therapy down.

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. Chocolate Starfish - Chocolate Starfish won 102 to 100.3. This matchup came down to the wire with Hakeem Nicks on Monday night and he came up 20 yards short for Red Hot Julius Peppers. With that being said Red Hot Julius Peppers didn't do himself any favors starting Nick Foles (5.7 points) over Matt Ryan (27.7 points).

Child Please vs. The trap birdsinthekitch - The trap birdsinthekitch won 122.3to 109.1. Adrian Peterson failed to rush for 100 yards and failed to reach the end zone on Monday night. That disappointing performance contributed to Child Please' loss this week. 

The Blackhole Black vs. TP CharlieSheening - The Blackhole Black won 93.6 to 92.8. This was a back and forth thriller on Monday night with TP CharlieSheening gaining the lead late in the 4th quarter with Peyton Hillis' 3 rushes for 9 yards with 1:48 left in the game. Then the lead shifted back to The Blackhole Black when Greg Jennings caught his 4th and final reception for 12 yards and sealed the win for her.

Back Pats:
Sauce'n Ain't Easy - finally playing the right QB and getting back to winning.

The Blackhole Black - overcoming a terrible performance by Tom Brady and holding on for the win.

C'Mon Man:
Red Hot Julius Peppers - Nick Foles over Matt Ryan?

The Burg YUH8ME - After scoring 151 in week 1 you're only averaging 93.5 points per week. (64.4 this week) C'Mon Man!

Bold Predictions:
I went 4-1 this week. That makes me 25-10 on the year. (3-0 on UPSET SPECIALS).

No Pryors vs. Child Please - Child Please has the better matchups this week. Child Please wins.

Chocolate Starfish vs. Coples Therapy - ***UPSET SPECIAL*** If there ever is a week for Cam Newton to go nuts this is it against a terrible Tampa Bay team. Coples Therapy wins.

The trap birdsinthekitch vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers - This matchup could be close, but I think Matt Ryan and Wes Welker have big games. Red Hot Julius Peppers wins.

TP CharlieSheening vs. The Burg YUH8ME - If there was ever a time to get a bounce back win this would be the week for The Burg YUH8ME, however, TP CharlieSheening has some seriously favorable matchups. TP CharlieSheening wins.

Sauce'n Ain't Easy vs. The Blackhole Black - Sauce'n Ain't Easy should have a big week. Sauce'n Ain't Easy wins.

Week 6 Recap

FINALLY...! He gets a win. Here we go.

No Pryors vs. The Blackhole Black - The Blackhole Black won 104.4 to 93. The Blackhole Black reclaims 1st place in her division thanks to a great performance by Keenan Allen on Monday night. Had I just played Vincent Jackson at any one of my receiver spots I would have won this one...

TP CharlieSheenings vs. Coples Therapy - TP CharlieSheening won 112.5 to 64.5. Coples Therapy had some bad luck. Two of his top scorers, Randall Cobb and Jimmy Graham, both had injuries. Graham scored 0.  However, Coples Therapy continues to sit Cam Newton, 36.7 points, who could have made this score more respectible.

Sauce'n Ain't Easy vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers - Sauce'n Ain't Easy won 93.8 to 85.4. Sauce'n Ain't Easy had an average week while Red Hot Julius Peppers had a below average week.

Chocolate Starfish vs. Child Please - Chocolate Starfish won 96.1 to 62.3. This was a prime opportunity to knock off Chocolate Starfish, but negative points from Child Please' defense and less than 10 points from pretty much every other position made that impossible.

The trap birdsinthekitch vs. The Burg YUH8ME - The Burg YUH8ME won 128.5 to 89.9. Finally! All that talking and it took 6 weeks to get 1 win. As far as The trap birdsinthekitch goes, not that it would have mattered, but Tavon Austin instead of Vernon Davis???

Back Pats:
The Burg YUH8ME - Finally got a W. I'll let you have the spotlight for a week.

C'Mon Man:
No Pryors - Sitting Vincent Jackson, 28.4 points, cost me the win.

The trap birdsinthekitch - inconsequential mistakes don't usually go here, but never play Tavon Austin unless someone has a bye week.

Bold Predictions:
I went 4-1 this week. That makes me 21-9 on the year. (3-0 on UPSET SPECIALS).

The Burg YUH8ME vs. No Pryors - Phillip Rivers vs. the Jags. I'm winning this week.

Coples Therapy vs. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - Randall Cobb is hurt and Jimmy Graham is on bye. Sauce'n Ain't Easy wins.

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. Chocolate Starfish - Becoming hard to pick against Chocolate Starfish. Chocolate Starfish wins.

Child Please vs. The trap birdsinthekitch - The trap birdsinthekitch is all in with the Cowboys against the Eagles this week starting 3 Cowboys. I think it will back fire. Child Please wins.

The Blackhole Black vs. TP CharlieSheening - The Blackhole Black has 2 Chargers against the Jags. The Blackhole Black wins.

Week 5 Recap

Gronk may come back to bite me...

No Pryors vs. Chocolate Starfish - Chocolate Starfish won 120.5 to 114.6. F'n Peyton Manning... On a day when he has pretty average performances Peyton still comes to save the day. Its ok though, I get my revenge on Peyton's bye week.

The Blackhole Black vs. The trap birdsinthekitch - The trap birdsinthekitch won 97.6 to 77.8. This matchup came down to the fact that Tom Brady didn't do anything and Dez Bryant scored 29.1.

Coples Therapy vs. The Burg YUH8ME - Coples Therapy won 107.4 to 101.2. Both of these teams had pretty average weeks. The Burg YUH8ME is just not that good right now.

TP CharlieSheening vs. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - TP CharlieSheening won 142.6 to 88.2. TP CharlieSheening was just unbeatable this week. However, Kaepernick continues to struggle even in blowout victories. That and Sauce'n Aint Easy's weak RB core have been keeping him down. Time to turn it around. Find some gems.

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. Child Please - Red Hot Julius Peppers won 108.1 to 73.4. This matchup was a mixed bag. Red Hot Julius Peppers had some bad performers, but they were picked up by great performers like Fred Jackson (21.3), Hakeem Nicks (19.2) and even Matt Prater (18). Child Please also seems to need to find some points from the RB position.

Back Pats:
Red Hot Julius Peppers - Started 0-2 and riding a 3 game winning streak to first place in his division.

TP CharlieSheening - had the team of the week, would have beat anyone this week by more than 20.

C'Mon Man:
The Burg YUH8ME - 0 wins through 5 matchups. Historically it has taken at least 6 wins, 7 last year, to make the playoffs. You can only afford to lose 1 more matchup.

Sauce'n Ain't Easy - Same boat as The Burg YUH8ME. Better find some scorers.

Bold Predictions:
I went 4-1 this week. That makes me 17-8 on the year. (2-0 on UPSET SPECIALS).

No Pryors vs. The Blackhole Black - The Blackhole Black is projected to win this week. Karma would have Gronk come back this week... The Blackhole Black wins.

TP CharlieSheening vs. Coples Therapy - I'm gonna go with the team that has the most Broncos against the Jaguars. TP CharlieSheening wins.

Sauce'n Ain't Easy vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers - Sauce'n Ain't Easy has to find some scoring. Red Hot Julius Peppers wins.

Chocolate Starfish vs. Child Please - Surprisingly this is projected pretty close. I'll go with Peyton Manning vs. The Jaguars. Chocolate Starfish wins.

The trap birdsinthekitch vs. The Burg YUH8ME - ***UPSET SPECIAL*** I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is the week. The Burg YUH8ME wins.

Week 4 Recap

I thought Gronk would play... Sorry mom. Here we go.

TP CharlieSheening vs. No Pryors - No Pryors won 149.9 to 77.7. This was my upset special this week. Didn't think I would score this much but TP CharlieSheening had some bad matchups. I back in it baby!

The Burg YUH8ME vs. Chocolate Starfish - Chocolate Starfish won 121.4 to 103.7. Peyton Manning makes Chocolate Starfish a threat every week, but on this week The Burg YUH8ME could have won had he not sat Tony Gonzalez (and Le'Veon Bell who he's been hyping up for weeks but first chance he gets to play him he fails to pull the trigger).

Sauce'n Ain't Easy vs. The trap birdsinthekitch - The trap birdsinthekitch won 142.2 to 112.4. Sauce'n Ain't Easy actually had a decent week, however, Kenbrell Thompkins finally shows up and Drew Brees had a great week.

Child Please vs. The Blackhole Black - Child Please won 132.7 to 113.9. Adrian Peterson finally has a big day and a good pickup in Nate Washington were the differences in this matchup. On a side note, I was scrutinized for trading The Blackhole Black Gronk for Cruz. Yes, Cruz could have won her this game, but had she never traded fro RG3 she wouldn't have the temptation to play him and she would have had an additional 24.9 points this week resulting in a win and a 4-0 start. Just sayin.

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. Coples Therapy - Red Hot Julius Peppers won 130.2 to 98.2. Red Hot Julius Peppers benefited from 4 big performances that helped him overcome a 0 and a 0.9 from 2 of his other starters. Side note Coples Therapy dropped Blount for Michael Bush one scored 14 the other... 0. Great move.

Back Pats:
No Pryors - Finally on a winning streak.

The trap birdsinthekitch - Kenbrell Thompkins finally turning it around.

Child Please - Good pick up with Nate Washington.

Red Hot Julius Peppers - Darren Sproles is looking like a big time play maker.

C'mon Man:
Coples Therapy - Dropped Blount for Bush and got 0 points.

The Burg YUH8ME - May not have played Cutler but between Gonzalez and Bell you left 52 points on the bench. Oh, and you 0-4. Gonna be here every week until you win.

Bold Predictions:
I went 4-1 this week. That makes me 13-7 on the year. (2-0 on UPSET SPECIALS).

No Pryors vs. Chocolate Starfish - Chocolate Starfish is projected to win 119 to 110. I would love for this to be an upset special but with Alfred Morris on bye and Darren McFadden questionable I don't see that happening. Chocolate Starfish wins.

The Blackhole Black vs. The trap birdsinthekitch - The Blackhole Black is projected to win 105 to 92 in early projections (no defense currently in the starting lineup). The trap birdsinthekitch has bad matchups pretty much across the board, maybe Tavon Austin will have a big week finally. (Fingers crossed Gronk plays)

Coples Therapy vs. The Burg YUH8ME - The Burg YUH8ME is projected to win 132 to 70 (Coples Therapy hasn't adjusted his roster yet). This could be the week The Burg YUH8ME gets a win. The Eagles play the Giants and Reggie Bush plays the Packers. That could be 90 points from 3 guys. Coples Therapy wins just because I'm not picking The Burg YUH8ME unitl he actually wins a matchup.

TP CharlieSheening vs. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - TP CharlieSheening is projected to win 113 to 77. Sauce'n Ain't Easy's best player, Antonio Brown, is on bye this week. TP CharlieSheening will win because Sauce'n Ain't Easy will struggle to find points.

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. Child Please - Child Please is projected to win 106 to 104. This is probably going to be the matchup of the week. I think it will be close but I think Calvin Johnson against The Packers will be the difference. Red Hot Julius Peppers wins.
