Week 10 Match-up Build-up

GAME OF THE WEEK

Advantageous Morgans (5-4) VS The Reckoning (5-4)
     Two rivals, ready to draw blood, take aim in the game of the week. Welcome back Reckoning. Reckoning finally put up big numbers after scoring under 80 points in 2 out of their last 3 games. They embarrassed the Babes 159-104. It was a revenge victory after losing to the babes by 61 points in week 2. Reckoning now has their sights on the division crown. They have relied on their young leaders Luck and Brown all season. This week presents some problems for Reckoning as they will most likely be without their two starting RBs Ridley and Sproles. Another issue is the fact that they are playing the Morgans. The Morgans have scored the most points in the league. Their trades and free agent pick-ups have been strong all season. They have destroyed the West Division this year. They are (4-0) against teams from the West. They are at full strength this week which is bad for Reckoning considering The Morgans starting lineup may be the best in the league. The early spread has The Morgans as a 19 point favorite. Remarkably, the Morgans are in 3rd in the East Division. Reckoning can separate themselves from the crowded West Division with a victory. The Morgans can make a claim for the East division lead with a win. This game will be a slugfest. The match-ups are pretty close across the board so look for the winner to be the team that had one or two star performances. Are you ready for war?

2. El Pollo Loco (4-5) VS Beau-dacious Babes (5-4)
     Two teams trying to make a playoff push square off in this pivotal divisional match-up. Loco is perhaps the most unlucky team in the league dating back to last season. They are averaging 126 points per game this season, but they have a (4-5) record. Each week it seems they are playing against a team that has an unexpected player explode for big points. A player has scored over 30 points against them in 3 straight games. That trend could change this week as they are playing against the struggling babes. What has happened to the babes? They have lost 3 straight games while scoring under 113 points in all of them. If they plan to make a playoff push their effort will have to increase. What is even more depressing is that they hold the leagues 4th easiest schedule. The Babes early season bravado has disappeared. A win here could keep them alive. Loco is wounded because of bye's and injuries. They will have to depend on huge performances from their stars. Both teams are desperate for a win.  

3. Perpetual Dynasty (6-3) VS Tavon and Only (4-5)
     Tavon got a huge win last week over their rival McCoy. A win over PD would catapult them into playoff contention. PD has won 3 games in a row. They were fortunate to win last week even without their stars. Many are expecting a PD victory, but no team circles the wagons like Tavon and Only.

4. ShowMeYourTDs (2-7) VS La Flama Blanca (6-3)
     TDs has really started to perform better. They will try to play spoiler this week against one of the best teams in the league. The loss of Rodgers should not be too devastating for Flama considering they have Russell Wilson. The experts expect a close game so do not let the records trick you. Flama may be looking ahead to their rematch with PD in week 12. They better be prepared for a sneaky good TDs team. TDs has scored over 130 in two straight weeks.

5. The Real McCoy (4-5) VS Weeden and Weep (4-5)
     How does Weeden have 4 wins? They have been a giant killer all year. McCoy continues to be inconsistent. The stats are not in their favor. They are (4-5) even with the leagues 2nd easiest schedule. Three of their four wins include: a stat correction, Loco scoring 24 points under their average, and Babes scoring 45 points under their average. Still, they are far from out of it. The West is wide open. They will try to take advantage of another team's bye week issues again this week as Weeden is without Brady and Gordon.  Look for a McCoy victory this week as they somehow keep their playoff hopes alive.
