Week 11 Results

Just so you are aware - I have started and restarted this blog post many times. Sometimes it is difficult to come up with something to write about, especially when you have sore throat and it is cold as balls outside. I often times wonder, why have I not moved somewhere south? I feel like I could totally rock a nice southern draw; my wife turns into a southern bell, my two kids run around chasing out livestock around. I am not sure if I could get used to wearing boots everywhere, side note: Does Nike make cowboy boots? What I am trying to say, the weather sucks and I am feeling a little under the weather. What are you suppose to do when there are trying times like this? Do as most women do... fake it.

The old saying, "Fake it till you Make it" goes a long way. What people don't realize is, sometimes you never make it. That is just a fact of life - some people just don't have it in them. Not everyone is suppose to make it, if everyone made it - then nobody made it. Half the time, people just end up faking it... the... entire... time. And honestly, there is nothing wrong with that - that at least tried and made a run of it. People these days just give up, super depressing. At least when you fake it you are trying to accomplish something - so yes, I encourage everyone to fake it - in the bed and out of the bed.

Let's jump to the results....

Matchup of the Week

Wings of Dickarus** (9-2) v Ankle Holster* (5-6)

This may be the first time this season that we have a belt winner come from the Matchup of the Week - we are having our people check on that. The crazier part is that is came with Wilson on the bye, I guess holding onto Brees paid off in the long run. Chark had a huge week against the Indianapolis secondary and he looks to be really enjoying having Foles back at the helm for the Jags. On the flip side, Ekeler has continued to perform extremely well - even with Gordon back in LA. Other than that, there was not a lot happening for Ankle Holster this week, and the light is fading on his playoffs hopes. He will need a big run in the last two weeks to see some extra action.

Results: Wings of Dickarus wins

Prediction: Wings of Dickarus wins... RIGHT!!

Bluffton Backup Backups (2-9) v Dixie Normous (8-3)

Let's just take this moment to congratulate Dixie Normous and the season he has had. He has managed to clinch a playoff spot with this week's win and yet again he faced-off against a team that scored the fewest amount of points - to be fair Dixie Normous would have beaten two other teams... yippee. Dixie has made a killing playing players from bad teams - this week it was Darnold. Other than that, not was working - especially Hill putting up a goose egg. On the flip side, BBB has apparently taken the "flight" stance in his time as the sacrificial lamb. Yet, the volunteering act as tribute is memorable, and for that we thank you Triple B.

Result: Dixie Normous wins

Prediction: Bluffton Backup Backups wins... WRONG!!

Massive TD's* (6-5) v Biggus Dickus* (6-5)

This year the playoff race has been extremely tight, this result makes it even tighter. Biggus once looked like a team that was destined for the playoffs - a 97% chance to make the playoff at the beginning of week 9. Biggus has since lost 3 straight weeks and looks completely stunned with the recent performances of Kupp and the loss of Hooper. Somebody needs to step-up or we may see the biggest collapse in this leagues storied history. On the flip side, Massive is storming towards the playoffs and looking like a team on a mission. This week the Prescott/Cobb stack worked to perfection - and Cobb actually seems to be one of Prescott's favorite targets. There has been no real drop-off for Andrews and he has continued to dominant in the Baltimore offense.

Result: Massive TD's wins

Prediction: Biggus Dickus wins... WRONG!!

PEN15 Wrinkle* (7-4) v Florida State Seminal Vesicle** (6-5)

This was much needed win by PEN15, as his spot at the top of the division was being challenged by FSSV. Solid performances from Diggs and backup TE Dwelley helped this team do just enough to slide past McCaffrey and the boys. FSSV is sitting in a three-way tie at 6-5 with four teams at 5-6 nipping at his heels. This win was a big step in the direction of securing the division title, but with many teams still within reach - this division is far from wrapped up. 

Results: PEN15 Wrinkle wins

Prediction: Florida State Seminal Vesicle wins... WRONG!!

Hoosier Daddy* (5-6) v ...And Your Johnson (3-8)

This was a match-up that Hoosier Daddy had to be counting on, his road will only get tougher from here on out. Johnson has chosen the "fight" side of being eliminated from the playoffs and everybody is thankful (except for Hoosier Daddy). On paper, Hoosier Daddy has a team that could take the biggest of giants - yet they also seem to never perform up the level that is expected. Jackson may end up being the NFL MVP - and yet still wind up on a team that doesn't make the playoffs in our fantasy league, how often does that happen? Brown (unexpected) and Kelce (about time) had huge weeks and that is what propelled this team to finally having a successful week. 

Result: ...And Your Johnson wins

Prediction: Hoosier Daddy wins... WRONG!!

Hernandez Hit Men* (5-6) v Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas* (7-4)

HHM made a run at being the first back-to-back belt winner, but fell just short. There were big performances by Murray and Thomas and in a week when 120 points is good, HHM did what they needed to do to keep their playoff hopes alive. On the flip side, ARBL may be a favorite to make the playoffs but they pretty much kissed away a chance at the top seed with this loss. Where in the world was Watson? Ingram not only had a big week, but he also had a big press conference - defending his quarterback and stating that he is the best player in the league...

(Those are the eyes of a crazy man)

Results: Hernandez Hit Men wins

Prediction: Hernandez Hit Men wins... RIGHT!!

The Back Hatch (5-6) v The J-Bones (3-8)

As stated earlier, The Back Hatch is not out of it - but they need the dominoes to fall. This was a big week for some dominoes to fall. Mayfield, Gurley, and Gallup all played well and secured the needed win - and even a couple teams lost that needed to lose. The Back Hatch is an outside chance to make the playoffs, but there is still a chance. The J-Bones are eliminated, but we finally got a nice performance from Kamara. Kamara seems like a different player when Brees is throwing the ball and it seems like the injury really affected the top draft pick's season.

Result: The Back Hatch wins

Prediction: The J-Bones wins... WRONG!!
