Week 11 Preview

Game of the Week: The Pessimists @ The Hail Marys

Both teams enter this contest with identical 6-4 records. Both teams are tied for first place in their division. Both teams need this win to stay in the hunt for postseason play. The Pessimists are hoping for a big day from quarterback Joe Flacco against an atrocious Carolina secondary. Coach BJ Hudson is also looking for continued production from running back Chris Johnson and wide receiver Hakeem Nicks to pull out the victory. On the home sideline, The Hail Marys will look to utilize a more balanced attack as they have five players projected to score in double digits and no player projected to score less than seven points. Coach Tara Campbell's team is riding a league high four game winning streak and will look to continue their winning ways in this high scoring affair. Look for this game to be decided by the two defenses that match up on SNF.

Young Gun Football @ Hit Squad

Both teams enter this weekend's matchup with 5-5 records and hold down the final two playoff spots in the BHFFC. Young Gun Football has six players scheduled to score in double digits, led by Eli Manning with a projected 16. Coach Jason Young is hoping for his receiving corps will give his team the edge in this slugfest. The Hit Squad will continue to ride the shoulders of running back Arian Foster, although he has a touch matchup this week against the Jets. Coach David Looper is optimistic that Cedric Benson and Ray Rice will be able to shoulder more of the workload this week as they both have favorable matchups. This game could very well be decided by the tight end position, as both teams have struggled at this position in recent weeks. Look for the TE scoring a touchdown to give his team the edge in this one.

Illegal Alien Babies @ One-Man Wolf Pack

The surging Alien Babies will look to continue their winning ways as the Wolf Pack looks to get back on track in this Lightning Division matchup. The Alien Babies are hoping for continued production from Jacob Tamme and LaGarrette Blount. Coach Darrell Campbell is very excited about the return of injured players Malcolm Floyd and Reggie Bush this week. The Wolf Pack will look to team captain Drew Brees to right the ship, as he is facing a weak Seattle secondary that should allow for him to have a big day. Coach Zach Maddox is hopeful that running backs Adrian Peterson and LaDanian Tomlinson will get back in a rhythm this week and lead his team to victory. Look for this game to be decided by the production of the wide receiver corps.

The Comeback Kids @ Charlie's Redrockets

Both of these teams are fighting to stay in the hunt for the playoff picture. The Comeback Kids will look for Peyton Manning to have a big day in his team's showdown with New England. Coach Daniel Campbell is hoping for big days from running backs Michael Turner and Jamaal Charles as both backs have favorable matchups this week. Charlie's Redrockets will continue to mix and match their lineup this week and will look to Kyle Orton under center to guide their team to victory. Coach Matthew Campbell suffered what was arguably his most heart-breaking loss in his career last week and will need to provide leadership and motivation to keep his players focused. Look for this team to be decided by the team that scores the most rushing touchdowns.

Safety Blitz @ Riley's Vikings

This game could get heated as these two teams flat out just don't like each other. Safety Blitz will look to even the season series behind the hot right hand of quarterback Matt Ryan. Coach Phillip Campbell is expecting a big performance from his defense and coninued production from his skill players as he attempts to grab a share of first place in the Thunder Division. Riley's Vikings will look to Tom Brady for guidance against a weak Indianapolis secondary. Coach Adam Warren is looking for an explosive day from running back Frank Gore to overcome a depleted backfield due to injuries. Look for this game to be decided by the flex and defensive positions as all other matchups appear to be fairly even.

Final Name Change

Coach Daniel Campbell has changed his team name for the final time this year to The Comeback Kids. This will be his team's fourth name of the season. Commissioner Phillip Campbell issued a statement to Coach Daniel Campbell requesting the name change, as he reportedly was tired of typing MyPoopIsRonnie&Brown.

Waiver Action

Waiver action has slowed down as we have reached the home stretch of the regular season. Coaches Adam Warren and Daniel Campbell lead the league in transactions this week with four each as of press time. The Illegal Alien Babies continue to lead the league in overall transactions with 36. The Pessimists have made the least number of moves this year with eight.
