WHO’S HOT: ND40 (W4), MM (W3)
WHO’S NOT: TLIC (L4), FLC (L3)


GAME OF THE WEEK
ND40 (8-2) -35 vs JOE (6-4)
LAST MEETING: ND40 122, JOE 96

Can ND and Serena be stopped? Who dares to get in their way with Serena’s temper and ND’s ability to hack your Facebook account? In steps JL who is coming off a solid win over the Bees and the software. At 6-4 JL needs a win to get within a game of ND and remove any chance of slipping into the lower chamber. I hesitated on writing Butta Picks because I was waiting for JL to put in SJax and remove Stewart. I thought, “Surely, he must be joking.” But he wasn’t joking and probably doesn’t like being called Shirley. There’s just too much firepower on ND’s side as Peyton will likely offset Brees and MJD will do his bowling ball routine against the hapless Bills. JL has a nice offset to Manning with Mr. Wayne but in the end it’s ND in a possible blowout of the week victory.



MONTREAL (7-3) -19 vs ROSS (4-6)
LAST MEETING: MM 141, ROSS 112

MM comes in riding a 3 game winning streak while ROSS is looking for a Rocky III type comeback after Butta laid down a Clubber beating last week. CJ and Rice will be tough to contain but Ricky “Ronnie Who?” Williams has made the RB race closer this week than originally expected. Brady gets the edge for ROSS but the MM WRs are looking strong to quite strong. Even though Moss is unlikely to duplicate last week’s performance, Steve Smith has already done his part and Hines is a solid brand whether you are talking football or ketchup. ROSS’ WRs will all have to exceed expectations but Wallace is an interesting sleeper and could be a key for the upset if he can outperform Ward. Yet, MM is stacked like a bad Pamela Anderson sitcom and gets the nod here.



KC BEES (4-6) -12 vs FLC (3-7)
LAST MEETING: FLC 116, KC 93

The software is licking its chops as it gets a reeling FLC. The Bees are looking to leverage the #1 rule in fantasy football this year – start any player going against the Rams. Warner, Fitzy and a surging Beanie are all likely to have big days and AJ and Clark will be solid as well. I expect FLC to counterpunch a bit though as Housh should benefit from an offense that will have to throw the ball against the Vikes and Colston is due for a big game. If Forte can catch 10 balls out of the backfield and Roddy can get the dreads flying against the Giants on the road then I’m sayin there’s a chance. If the good Romo shows up it could get fun…if the bad Romo shows up then say goodnight Gracie.




GUT PICK OF THE WEEK
BUTTA (6-4) -29 vs TLIC (2-8)
LAST MEETING: TLIC 150, BUTTA 131

TLIC comes off a heart breaking 2 point loss to the ND, Serena and Peyton trifecta. Butta “rolls” in on a high note having dispatched of ROSS and The Beards with the blowout of the week. Butta is looking for revenge after being one of the two lowly victims of TLIC this year. Although Favre has another delicious matchup at home and LT is having a “baby daddy” resurgence there appears to be too much firepower on the other side. Rodgers should have a good game in between being sacked like a pile of grain and AP will be taking all the fantasy points not generated by grandpa Brett. The WRs are also solidly in Butta’s favor with Sydney and Brandon coming off huge games although no Kyle “I love Southeast Polk” Orton could cause Marshall to go MIA. TLIC gets the edge in DEF and TE but that ain’t gonna cut it. Butta by 29.
