This game pits two of the three teams tied for first place in the Lightning Division with identical 4-2 records. Young Gun Football holds a slim five point advantage in total points scored, so all signs point to this game being an instant classic. The Pessimists enter the contest riding a season high three game winning streak and look to match the league record winning streak of four games with a victory. Young Gun Football is circling the wagons after suffering back to back defeats.
Young Gun Football will look for production from their backup wide receivers to keep this game close going into MNF and hope that Felix Jones can put up points against the surging New York Giants' defense of The Pessimists. On the other side of the ball, The Pessimists are patiently waiting for a breakout game from running back Ryan Matthews and are hoping that their three wide receiver set and fast paced offense will offset the size advantage that Young Gun Football presents up front.
With six total players playing on MNF, this one won't be decided until well after sunset in the Big D on Monday night. Look for the outcome to be determined by Eli Manning and if he can put up points through the air that Hakeem Nicks is not catching.
Safety Blitz @ One-Man Wolf Pack
Following a trade between the two teams this week, both coaches are hopeful that their new acquisitions can quickly grasp their new playbook and terminology used in the huddle. Safety Blitz is hoping to ride Steven Jackson, Ryan Torain and LeSean McCoy to produce big numbers in the ground game. Coach Phillip Campbell is also depending on the Baltimore defense to continue the trend of battering the Buffalo Bills. On the flip side, the Wolf Pack is looking for a huge debut performance from Adrian Peterson and the continued hot hand of Drew Brees to maintain their hold on first place in the Lightning Division. Coach Maddox is also hopeful that his Saints' defense can create a number of turnovers against Colt McCoy in his second career start.
Illegal Alien Babies @ The Hit Squad
This divisional matchup has potential to come down to the wire. The Illegal Alien Babies will look for continued production from The Three-Headed Monster, big play receivers Brandon Lloyd, Brandon Marshall and Randy Moss. Coach Darrell Campbell is also hoping for increased production from running back Willis McGahee now that he knows he will remain with the Ravens following the trade deadline on Tuesday. The Hit Squad is hoping for another big performance from Kevin Kolb in a week that they have been hit hard by injuries and byes. Coach David Looper expects a big performance from Ray Rice and is working nonstop to fill in the missing pieces for this week's divisional matchup. Look for this game to be decided by the defense and special teams play.
Riley's Vikings @ Charlie's Redrockets
These two former roommates square off in what should be a battle for the ages. Riley's Vikings hopes that their sole possession of first place is not short lived following their big win last weekend. Coach Adam Warren plans to continue to pound the rock with Frank Gore and mix in the play action pass with quarterback Tom Brady. Charlie's Redrockets is hoping for another great performance from quarterback Aaron Rodgers and is looking for increased production from their running game. Coach Matthew Campbell has a few holes to fill this week due to byes that he says may come down to game-time decisions. Coach Campbell remains optimistic that tight end Antonio Gates will be able to suit up on Sunday.
4th and Schlong @ The Hail Marys
This divisional matchup is also a battle of in-laws in the Thunder Division! Coach Daniel Campbell is looking for Big Ben to improve upon his performance last week and is hopeful that Miles Austin will produce a number of big plays on MNF. Despite numerous trade rumors, Matt Forte is still with the Schlong and will look to make a difference in the flex position. The Hail Marys are hopeful that the newly acquired Deion Branch and Chris Ivory will put up numbers similar to last week. Coach Tara Campbell is also hopeful that tight end Vernon Davis can continue to improved play this week at Carolina. Look for the kickers to play a big role in the outcome of this game.
