This non-divisional matchup features two teams looking to stay in the playoff picture with four weeks left to play. Safety Blitz will look for Matt Ryan and Roddy White to team up for a big day against a weak Carolina defense. Coach Phillip Campbell will start running back Jonathan Stewart for the first time this season, looking for he calls 'a spark' off his bench. The Wolf Pack is hoping for another monster performance from Adrian Peterson, who faces off against the NY Giants. Coach Zach Maddux has said all week that running back LaDainian Tomlinson will get more touches on Sunday than he has in previous weeks as the team is preparing him for the playoffs. Look for this game to come down to the flex position for each team.
Riley's Vikings (+7) @ Charlie's Redrockets
These two teams are separated by one game in the standings entering Week 14, so this matchup could carry huge playoff implications. Riley's Vikings will continue to ride the shoulders of quarterback Tom Brady, who has been in an incredible zone lately. Coach Adam Warren said that he barely speaks to Brady during the week anymore "in fear of distracting his focus and concentration." Charlie's Redrockets will counter with a star quarterback of their own by the name of Aaron Rodgers. Coach Matthew Campbell is looking for his wide receivers to provide solid production to help overcome an unpredictable stable of running backs. Look for this game to be decided by each teams running back production.
Young Gun Football (-12) @ Illegal Alien Babies
Young Gun Football seems to be peaking at the right time and will look to continue their climb up the BHFFC standings against the Alien Babies. YGF is hopeful that receivers Andre Johnson and DeSean Jackson can continue to make big plays downfield. Coach Jason Young is also adamant that his running back production will continue to pick up as the cold weather moves into Pittsburg and New York. The Alien Babies are hoping for a shootout in New England so that quarterback Jay Cutler gets ample opportunity to throw the pigskin. Coach Darrell Campbell hopes that running backs Brian Westbrook and Fred Jackson get back on track in the run game this week, or at least that is what his translator deciphered from his tirade earlier this week. Look for the defenses to play a big role in this one.
The Pessimists (+15) @ Hit Squad
The Pessimists have the inevitable task of trying to slow down the Hit Squad this week as both of these teams seem to be moving in opposite directions. The Pessimists are hopeful (ha, ha) that their running game can get back on track this week. Coach BJ Hudson is trying a positive approach this week at practice for a change and his players seem to be responding. The Hit Squad will look to continue their winning ways behind all-everything running back Arian Foster. Coach David Looper is hopeful that quarterback Michael Vick will continue to ignite the Montery crowd without causing a riot. This game will be decided by whether or not The Pessimists can produce any type of production in their ground game.
The Comeback Kids (+13) @ The Hail Marys
This divisional matchup features two high powered offenses that are looking for consistency down the home stretch of the season. The Comeback Kids are hopeful that Peyton Manning will be able to overcome his recent stretch of poor play that has included 11 interceptions in 3 games. Coach Daniel Campbell hired a shrink for Peyton as well as for the rest of his squad this week, but many of his players are questioning if the shrink was hired for selfish reasons. The Hail Marys will look for Peyton Hillis to produce this week following an unusually subpar performance in Week 13. Coach Tara Campbell was seen at practice this week with a noose around Hillis' testicles in an effort to make him run harder. Look for this game to be decided by the wide receiver corps for each team.
