Game's are really starting to matter now. The playoff picture is starting to come into place and the top teams are fighting tooth and nail for better seeding. Week 11 proved that.
In the match-up of the week, Shooter McGavin asserted his dominance of Mommy Slut's Slob On My Cobb. McGavin took advantage of the Cowboy's bye week, taking advantage of Cobb's loss of DeMarco Murray and Dez Bryant. Andrew Luck, who is emerging as a young superstar in Slushie Sunday's, was once again McGavin's top scorer. But how will Nick fare with the potential loss of Manny Sanders? The same goes for Josh and Julius Thomas, who is questionable this week. Without a true back-up TE, Cobb will need to throw darts at the dartboard and hope for a TE that could potentially fill the big void left by Thomas. Even with the loss, Cobb still held on to 1st place in the AFC.
In the tighest game of the week, The DrewBree Brothers squeaked their way into the playoff picture with a close win over Kissing Suzy Kolber. The Brothers were saved by a clutch Monday Night performance from Antonio Brown, who gave Aaron and Drew a slick 19.6. Outside of Kolber's "Big Three," his team came up struggling. Had Vinnie started Doug Baldwin at his flex, Kolber would be sitting pretty with 7 wins. Even with the loss, teams should be scared of Vinnie's powerhouse offensive weapons. Rodgers, Forte, and Calvin Johnson will easily erupt at anytime, but the Brothers caught them on an 'off' week.
Team SSPD's spiral out of control continued in Week 11, suffering a 4 point loss to Team Next year. No brotherly love was shown by Chris this week, who found Jay Cutler on a good week, and once again took advantage of Jeremy Hill filling in Giovani Bernard. Quietly, Christian has become a threat in the league, winning his last four games, and rocketing up to 8-3, just two games back of Shooter McGavin in the NFC. The end of the year will be a good test for Chris after a shaky start to the season. As for Dom, Ahmad Bradshaw's injury on Sunday night was salt on the wound for Team SSPD. Had Bradshaw finished the game, Dom would have been right back in the playoff hunt, instead of being on the outside looking in.
No one expected such a stinker in the showdown of the out-of-towners, but The Nard Dawgs and The Heismanberg's combined for a lowly 145.5 points, with The Berg's edging The Dawg's by just 3 points. Will was supported by big games by his running backs, but a last minute switch of his flex and an injury to Dwayne Allen ultimately doomed The Dawg's. Brandon Marshall could make Will a contender, and potential spoiler in the last two weeks. But with the Gio Bernard and Jordan Cameron injuries still make the water's murky for Mr. Gavin. The Berg's were saved by a clutch Sunday night performance from Coby Fleener, who capitalized on Allen's injury. While The Big Forehead Peyton Manning gave Ben his lowest output of the season, a victory was still managed. With no running game, Ben will have to rely on Manning and D. Thomas to carry his team if he hopes to hold on to his playoff spot.
AHHHHHHH BREADED (name change alert) was once again keen on his match-ups, and despite having a QB issue still in Week 11, Joe beat the Sch'dy Schmeckles handily by nearly 50. Le'Veon continues to put the team on his back, carrying Joe with 30, and with the return of A.J. Green after a toe injury, BREADED is another team that needs to be feared around the league. With Sammy Watkins sitting in the wings, and Matthew Stafford still apt to break out against a week opponent, Joe is built for the long run. Another disappointing week for the Schmeckles, who are now officially eliminated from playoff contention. The lack of support from Chris's pass catchers was his ultimate downfall in Week 11. On the bright side, Chris has a schedule that could play spoiler for two teams down the stretch.
Along with Team Next year, Ebola Kills also holds a four game win streak, extended in Week 11 with the biggest blowout of the week over Taco Corp. Dave's run game failed him once again, with only his duo of Seahawks reaching double figures for his skill positions. Jamaal Charles continued to be the workhorse for Brian, and Kills' Kelvin Benjamin continued to look like one of the more consistent rookie pass catchers of the season in the NFL. Brian has a seriously dangerous team, but he'll need his Falcons trio to be admirable in the last few weeks of the season to make him a threat in the playoffs.
WEEK 12 PREVIEW
AHHHHHHHH BREADED (6-5) vs. Shooter McGavin (10-1)
Without a doubt, the game of the week, Nicky looks to stretch his winning streak to seven games, while Joe looks to climb the the seeding and possibly jump Josh in the AFC, chasing first place. Nick already caught a tough break with Jordan Reed being ruled out, so McGavin's tight end struggles continue. Will Travis Kelce's early 8.7 be enough? Will it even matter with Andrew Luck facing a week Jacksonville team at home? For BREADED, Joe will have to bank on Matthew Stafford and the Lions being in a shootout with Tom Brady and crew. God knows Joe cannot have the 5.3-point performance Stafford had last week if he wants to win. Watch for this one to come down to how Sammy Watkins performs Monday night in Detroit versus a re-vitalized Jets secondary.
Slob On My Cobb (7-4) vs. Team Next Year (8-3)
A potential Final Four preview, this match-up pits the league's #2 and #3 seeds against each other. The most intriguing storyline this week for Chris is the return of Josh Gordon, sliding right into Chris's DM's WR2 spot ahead of Golden Tate and placing the lackluster Jennings/Williams duo on the bench. Gordon will have to perform like a fantasy God if Chris wants to upset Josh. Despite an off week against McGavin in Week 11, Cobb gets back DeMarco Murray and Dez Bryant this week against a week Giants defense. This could be the week Cobb really breaks out. The x-factor (aside from Gordon's return) will be how Tom Brady fares against a top-rated Lions secondary. Josh needs his QB he acquired from Chris earlier this season to work out, especially against his former team. Seems like that trade worked out for both sides. Julius Thomas's potential absence should also be worth watching out for.
Team SSPD (4-7) vs. Kissing Suzy Kolber (6-5)
Dom needs a win like the Cookie Monster needs cookies. Currently the #9 seed in the league, Dom will need all the help he can get from his young weapons. If Jonas Gray and Mike Evans repeat their 40-point performances from a week ago, Team SSPD will be right in this one with Kolber. If not, watch for Vinnie's juggernaut steamroll Dom further into irrelevancy. Rodgers and Forte both have favorable match-ups this week for Kissing Suzy Kolber. Expect a high-scoring game for both sides. This game has the most riding on it in terms of playoff seeding and movement. Others will be watching.
The Heismanberg's (5-6) vs. Ebola Kills (7-4)
Ebola Kills is without a doubt one of the hottest teams in the league, but once again Brian will be relying on his Falcons to do work against the upstart Cleveland Browns. With Ben Roethlisberger AND Kelvin Benjamin on their bye week, Brian will have to look elsewhere for player's to put up big show-stopping performances. Jamaal Charles put up 20.2 on Thursday, slightly below his projected this week, but it most likely won't hurt Kills. Watch Rob Gronkowski be this week's x-factor for Brian. The Berg's are in as much need of a win as some other's in the league, currently in the #7 spot in the league. Ben will need another big week from Peyton Manning and Demaryius Thomas to keep him ahead of Brian's Falcons' trio. The Berg's slick waiver strategy has also loaned him two starting RBs for this week. Watch out for Anderson and Crowell to be Ben's x-factor's for the week.
The DrewBree Brothers (5-6) vs. The Nard Dawgs (3-8)
In hopes of holding off Dom for the 8th seed in the playoffs, Aaron runs into a struggling Nard Dawgs team. With Jordan Cameron and Gio Bernard both bringing down Will's squad, the Dawgs need the the Kaepernack to outperform Drew Brees in a head-to-head that could be telling in this match-up. While Will's line-up looks patchwork, it matches up nicely with the Brothers line-up this week. No Antonio Brown or Markus Wheaton for Aaron and Drew, which will be a challenge for the Brothers in terms of setting a line-up. Newly acquired Jordan Matthews will have to perform against Will's beloved Titans in order for Aaron and Drew to win this one and hold on to the 8th seed in the league.
Taco Corp (3-8) vs. Sch'dy Schmeckles (2-9)
Both Corp and the Schmeckles started with promising rosters at the start of the season, but both teams have underperformed and run into the wrong teams at the wrong times. Dave has his fingers crossed this week that the Seahawks can get their shit together against the best team in the league in Arizona. If Wilson/Lynch put up an egg, Taco Corp hopes to rely on Denard Robinson, who has been running wild lately in Jacksonville. As for Chris, he's managed to squeeze out two wins from a roster that looks good on paper, but is inconsistent week to week. With no Martavis Bryant this week, the Schmeckles could have to rely on a deep bench of WRs, which won't hurt Chris's lineup. Both teams are just looking for a win to make their seasons respectable at this point.
