BARN-BURNER OF THE WEEK:
** Brown's Backups (Josh) DEF Mad Max's Mama (Kerri) by 0.28 points **
Jeebus. This one wasn't exactly awe-inspiring, with only 5 of a combined 14 players in double-digit scoring, including BB's Jay Cutler (QB - Chi / 14.49), Michael Turner (RB - Atl / 10.20) and Mason Crosby (K - GB / 12.00). MMM had only 2 players in double digits, but was ultimately doomed by bad advice: somebody suggested Shonn Greene (RB - NYJ / 6.65) against Denver's pourous defense rather than the injured Jahvid Best (RB - Det / 9.85) against the G-Men. Ah, well. Guess you gotta make your own choices! Next week BB (5-1) goes for his fourth straight win against Boss Hogg (0-6) and MMM (3-3) looks to avoid a slide while enjoying revenge against Play to Win the Game (5-1).
** Pack Men (Brett) DEF Boycott LA (Matt) by 2.22 points **
This is a tale of two teams: Pack Men are on the way up after winning their last 2 games, and Boycott LA is free-falling after losing their last 2. Pretty much everybody was on their game for PM, including Aaron Rodgers (QB - GB / 26.14) and Stephen Gostkowski (K - NE / 16.00). Boycott LA was buoyed by Steven Jackson (RB - StL / 26.30), but leaving Joe Flacco (QB - Bal / 28.14) and Deion Branch (WR - NE / 13.50) on the bench ultimately doomed his squad. Next week PM (3-3) plays his lovely wife G-Unit (2-4), while BLA (2-4) will try to right the ship against his old friend Two-Hand Touch (1-5).
** Sexual Chocolate (John) DEF The Little Guy (Kyle) by 3.01 points **
It was all going according to plan for Kyle: he was up by a few points with less than 2 minutes left on the clock - in the bag, right? Wrong. Chris Johnson (RB - Ten / 26.05) took a 35-yard run to the house, handing John his second straight win and Kyle his second straight loss. Kyle was done no favors by Josh Cribbs (WR - Cle / 2.12), who got injured early in his game. John , however, got an uncharacteristically high score from Kevin Kolb (QB - Phi / 32.11). Next week SC (2-4) looks to continue his improvement against undefeated Favre Failure Wagon (6-0) and TLG (2-4) will try not to lose to his girlfriend RN to the Rescue (3-3).
** Undefeated (Bob) DEF Boss Hogg (Jordan) by 7.26 points **
Jordan nearly earned his first win this week, until the drubbing that Tennesee (18.18) gave Jacksonville on Monday night. He had 5 of 7 players in double-digits, including Arian Foster (RB - Hou / 27.35) and Tom Brady (QB - NE / 18.14). UD's roster was hot, with Eli Manning (QB - NYG / 22.51) and Frank Gore (RB - SF / 19.95). But it was Tennessee who put him over the top. Next week UD (4-2) will take on Sobchak Security (4-2) while Boss Hogg (0-6) looks to continue his high scores against Brown's Backups (5-1).
** Favre Failure Wagon (Steve) DEF Two-Hand Touch (Rex) by 8.86 points **
This was a close shave for Steve - though Rex benefited from Matt Ryan (QB - Atl / 21.54) and LaDanian Tomlinson (RB - NYJ / 23.85), he was unable to keep up with FFW's Peyton Manning (QB - Ind / 25.47), Greg Jennings (WR - GB / 14.15) and Ahmad Bradshaw (RB - NYG / 17.15). Next week FFW (6-0) looks to maintain perfection against streaking Sexual Chocolate (2-4), while THT (1-5) will play Boycott LA (2-4).
** Play to Win the Game (Jeff) DEF Sobchak Security (Rick) by 18.44 points **
Rick didn't have much of a chance this week. Thanks to bye weeks and injuries, even an optimal lineup wouldn't have beaten PTW - a team anchored by Drew Brees (QB - NO / 29.86) and Rashard Mendenhall (RB - Pit / 25.20). Meanwhile, SS got some points from probable date rapist Ben Roethlisberger (QB - Pit / 28.09) and LeSean McCoy (RB - Phi / 15.75). Next week PTW (5-1) will try to avoid emasculation against Mad Max's Mama (3-3) and Sobchak Security (4-2) looks to stop his two-game skid against Undefeated (4-2)
ASS-KICKING OF THE WEEK:
** RN to the Rescue (Megan) DEF G-Unit (Sam) by 26.35 points **
Megan's team won their second straight game this week, thanks to Tony Romo (QB - Dal / 29.89) and Ray Rice (RB - Bal / 22.30). G-Unit was hindered by David Garrard (QB - Jac / 1.15), who remembered that he's David Garrard. Marshawn Lynch (RB - Sea / 17.90) had a good game, though. Next week RN (3-3) will battle her boyfriend The Little Guy (2-4) and G-Unit (2-4) will take on her husband Pack Men (3-3) for fantasy football supremacy in the Yeoman Household.
