9th Weekend Matchups/Analysis

5 games to go....we are now getting to the point where we can't afford anymore losses...except Jorge

Pink Bombers (5-3) vs Monsoon (2-6) : Bombers need a win to stay with the KRUSH who is 1 game ahead of him. He could use another 30 point game from B. Favre who faces KC. L. T. had an off game last week but faces a good run defense in Minnesota. W. Welker should have a nice game with the Pats facing the Colts..could be high-scoring..we'll see. For Monsoon, McNabb
needs a good game against Dallas. Perhaps S. Alexander will have a breakout game..he needs it since he has scored in single digits the last 4 games. K. Winslow should continue to get his 12 pts a game. A win by Monsoon with losses by Neo and Drew would put him ahead for the last playoff spot.

Fart (3-5) vs Wrecking Crew (4-3-1) : Another key game...Crew can put himself 2 wins ahead of Fart by winning and/or 2-3 games ahead of Sasquatch for the last playoff spot. P. Manning could have a big game if the game is high-scoring...along with D. Clark. C. Portis faces a bad Jets D so he could get some yards and a score. T.J. Housh is quietly becoming the number 1 guy in Cin. K. Jones has had 2 good games the last 2 weeks. For Fart, R. Wayne could be the recipient of some of Mannings TD's this weekend....could cancel out some of Mannings points. T. Owens could have a big game coming back to Phili. McGahee could have a tough time finding running room against the Steelers. He has been averaging 15 a game.

Sasquatch (2-6) vs KRUSH (6-2) : Another nice battle. Sasquatch needs the win to stay in the hunt and KRUSH could put another game between him and Bombers. Sasquatch needs C. Palmer to throw more than 1 TD a game which he has done the last few weeks. J. Addai is back to his old self by scoring 29 last week. We'll see if he gets that chance this week or if the Colts have to throw alot. B. Stokley, with 2 nice games the last 2 weeks, should have another against Detroit. Krush hopes M. Hasselbeck capitalizes on a weak Cleveland D. S. Smith had 2 points last week. Can his QB get him the ball at all? If D. Carr starts, he probably won't have a good game. Colts D could take a hit this week against the Pats.

Neo (2-5-1) vs Drew (2-6) : Neo leads Drew and Monsoon by 1/2 game for the last playoff spot. If Drew wins, he could (depending on Monsoon's game) lead for that last spot. B. Roethlisberger has been a surprise all year, but he faces a good Ravens D. D. Foster faces an uphill battle against a good Tenn run Defense. K. Watson has a concussion and didn't practice yesterday..but R. Johnson did. Not sure who will get the carries this week. D. Mason has been a great WR...double digit points almost every week. Drew hopes J. Garcia keeps up his great play this year..9th ranked QB. R. Bush may get alot of points receiving this week because he faces a tough run D. C. Chambers scored a TD in his 1st game with the Chargers last week....he may get more with teams focusing on A. Gates. We're still looking for another breakout game from C. Johnson...he has scored over 20 points just once..and that was 40 points in the 2nd game of the year.


QXOPA (8-0) vs Trucos (5-3) : QXOPA has already clinched a spot in the playoffs. Trucos is just praying for a win to keep him closer to a playoff spot too. Expect Brady/Moss to perhaps rack up some points against the Colts..I'm sure Brady will come out throwing again. After getting only 7 points last week, A. Peterson hopes to turn that around against the Chargers. Randel El could have a nice game against the lowly Jets D. T. Romo will start for Trucos and perhap she can get over 20 points since he has scored 19 or less the last 3 weeks. M. Colston got 3 TD's last week....he may be coming around now. Jones-Drew should get plenty of touches against New Orleans.
