Week 4 Preview

I hate Sam Bradford. Here's your week 4 preview:

Well at least Kappy didn't kill Scott this week.  Wasn't great, but didn't kill him either.  And with Stafford going against Chicago and w/out Black Wes Welker, Kappy might outscore Stafford this week.  This week, Big Ben finds himself on the Flames where he'll try not to suck for once.  The RBs are about even here with both of them praying on one (MJD and CJ respectively) and comfortable with the other.  Hemrick catches Scott on a non-Cobb week so he has a big advantage at WR.  The wild card here is Vick though.  He could score anywhere from 5 points to 35 points and I wouldn't be surprised.  I think it's a down week again for him though.  Prediction: Hemrick.

This is best man to best man fight to the death.  Who really is the BEST man?  Chris takes the bold step of starting a RB in the flex.  Teams that start a non-QB in the flex are 2-34 all time in Sandwich Fest* but Hill look to buck that trend.  It could work this week though b/c Mike's QB's are not dynamic.  Dalton is a steady 15 point guy and I still don't trust Rivers.  I also don't trust DMC, but Ray Rice still might not be 100% and that could ruin Hill's advantage there.  This will be a close match, but I think Hills WR's could carry him to the win.  Prediction: Hill

Anquan Boldin got Joe off to a nice start.  When your WR3 puts up a 20-spot, you're poised for a big week.  He's also catching Brown in a Packers bye week which means good bye Rodgers and Jordy Nelson, and hello to Terelle Pryor(!), and Steve 'don't call me Stevie' Johnson.  He will still have to deal with James Graham, but even James Graham can't be expected to do everything.  The good news for Brown is most of his players have good matchups. The bad news is none of them is Aaron Rodgers.  Prediction: Joe

Thursday Night really sets the stage for a close match.  Bradford shit the bed while Gore and the San Francisco D came through for James.  He'll need Eli Manning to take advantage of the poor QB2 play Matt/Sean got (side note: saw Sean last night.  He is alive and well.  He objects to the notion that he should have to contribute to the league to be considered "into it".  He acts like he reads and sees everything.  He is an active owner.  I bet he sees none of this).   Matt/Sean do have an advantage at TE, RB and probably WR, though there is some risk with all of them.  Prediction: James.

Did I mention I hate Sam Bradford?  Bry is going to win this if he gets anything at all out of VJax and Heath Miller.  The only chance I have is for my QBs to have big game and have Fred Jackson shit the bed.  Should that happen, this game will be close.  More likely is that Bowe does nothing, Manning finally slows down a little bit, and Peterson goes off.  I also think Garcon has a big day out in Oakland.  Prediction: Bry.

  1. i applaud your acceptance of the inevitable and look to increase the 2-34* record for owners starting RB's in the flex to win.
