This battle for first place in the Thunder Division is a rematch of their Week 6 encounter, which was won by Riley's Vikings 100-70. With both teams at full strength now, this should a game for the ages. Riley's Vikings is coming off a tough season-ending injury to All-Pro running back Frank Gore and will look to Ronnie Brown and Mike Tolbert to step up in his absence. Coach Adam Warren is relying heavily on quarterback Tom Brady, who has a tough matchup on MNF in Foxboro against the Jets. The Hail Marys will look to get back in the win column after having their league record five game winning streak snapped last week. Coach Tara Campbell placed an emphasis on her tight end and kicking games, as she believes they could make the difference in this contest. Look for this game to be decided on MNF.
The Pessimists (-2) @ One-Man Wolf Pack
These two teams have taken turns spending time in first place in the Lightning Division this year, and this game could once again determine at least a share of the Division lead. The Pessimists are looking for answers in their running game, as Chris Johnson and Jahvid Best look to rebound from horrendous performances last week. Coach BJ Hudson has closed all of his practices to the media this week and has restricted all media contact, only tweeting "We're jacked up and ready to play" early this week. One-Man Wolf Pack will look to defend The Wolves' Den behind Drew Brees and the Saints defense as they match up with a reeling Bengals team. Coach Zach Maddux is optimistic that running back Adrian Peterson will play and that LaDainian Tomlinson will regain his early season form. Look for this game to be determined by the production from each team's RB1 and RB2 positions.
Illegal Alien Babies (+31) @ Hit Squad
Arguably the two hottest teams in the BHFCC, these two Lightning Division rivals will strap it on for the second time this season. The Alien Babies have continued to improve their roster as the season has progressed, this week adding running backs Brian Westbrook and Toby Gerhart. Coach Darrell Campbell believes that Westbrook could provide the veteran leadership his team has been missing all year and get the Aliens into the playoff picture. The Hit Squad will look to continue their season high four game winning streak behind the Michael Vick, Arian Foster, and David Akers, who put up a combined 64 points on Thursday night to continue their recent scoring spree. Coach David Looper is concerned about his matchups at other positions, however, especially at running back. The key to this game will be if Fred Jackson can put up a fourth consecutive week with double digit points against a stiff Minnesota defense.
Young Gun Football (+4) @ The Comeback Kids
These two teams get together for their second meeting of the year and the smack talking started almost immediately following the conclusion of Week 12. YGF will look to their three running backs to lead the way on the road this week. Coach Jason Young is hopeful that his Green Bay defense can take advantage of a banged up San Francisco offense to pull off the victory. The Comeback Kids will look to continue their recent surge up the standings behind their three running backs, who all have favorable matchups this week. Coach Daniel Campbell expects a bounce back performance from quarterback Peyton Manning, who threw four interceptions in a loss to the Chargers last week. Look for this game to be decided by the production of each team's wide receivers.
Safety Blitz (-20) @ Charlie's Redrockets
This sibling rivalry has become personal, as it has been rumored that both camps refused to sit with each other during a meal at Camino earlier in the week. Safety Blitz is coming off a tough one-point loss and will look to maintain pace in the Thunder Division. Coach Phillip Campbell has revised his playbook to get Steven Jackson more carries and believes that could make the difference in his team turning the corner. Charlie's Redrockets sit just outside of the playoff picture and will look to pull off the upset behind upstart running backs Mike Goodson and Maurice Morris. Coach Matthew Campbell remains optimistic that his Jets' defense can regain their preseason form in their MNF showdown with the Patriots. Look for this game to be determined by the Chicago defense versus Maurice Morris.
