Week 12 Match-up Build-up

GAME OF THE WEEK

El Pollo Loco (5-6) VS The Real McCoy (5-6)
     Playoff implications a plenty in week 12's Game of the Week. Many managers remember how El Pollo missed out on the playoffs last year because of some late season injuries. McCoy jumped at the opportunity and snatched the playoff slot many managers felt was designated for Loco. They meet again this season under very similar circumstances. Loco has alternated between Wins and Losses since week 5; never losing or winning back to back games within that span. A loss last week means Loco is trending toward a victory. However, their performance a week ago leaves much to be desired. Loco is going to need a massive turn around to defeat McCoy. Loco is looking at you A.J. Green. McCoy performed extremely well in a must win game against the Babes last week. The trade for Johnson and Mathews was successful, as they combined for 38 points. They simply need to keep winning. McCoy scored 91 points in week 3 after scoring over 150 in week 2. They hope that does not occur for a 2nd time as they scored over 150 last week. This is a make or break game for both teams. Who knows what will happen in a match-up between two of the most inconsistent teams; expect the unexpected.

2. Perpetual Dynasty (8-3) VS La Flama Blanca (7-4)
     For the second straight week PD takes on the number two team in the league. PD has won five straight games. They are averaging 145 points per game during their winning streak. Their (6-0) divisional record is tops in the league. La Flama's victory over Weeden last week has steadied the ship after a rough stretch. Their playoff hopes continue to look strong. Much is on the line for both teams. With a win, PD can: clinch a playoff spot, get closer to a divisional championship, and get closer to the number 1 overall seed. For Flama, at stake is: a continuing push for a playoff spot, the division crown, and the number 1 overall seed. These two juggernauts hope to put on a show come Sunday.      

3. The Reckoning (6-5) VS Weeden and Weep (5-6)
     Revenge, pride, playoffs, what more do you want in a match-up. Reckoning leads the West Division. Their victory over Loco has them in control of their own destiny for the West Division crown. Their moves before the trading deadline have given them confidence to have a strong finish to the season. They hope to avenge one of their worst losses of the season this week. Weeden defeated Reckoning in week 8 (111-79). It was a devastating loss for a team that feels superior to Weeden. Quite simply, Weeden is a giant killer. Weeden has surprised everyone this year en-route to a (5-6) record. Do not sleep on this team. A win against Reckoning keeps their playoff hopes alive. Expect nothing less than a great game.

4. Advantageous Morgans (6-5) VS Tavon and Only (4-7)
     A Morgan's victory is expected.

5. ShowMeYourTDs (4-7) VS Beau-dacious Babes (5-6)
     TDs is hot, the Babes are not.
