[Nosferatu]

Two good not great offenses, good lines for both offenses, great running backs, great QB's. I think defense decides this one. I just figure i'll be able to apply more pressure on the QB and my secondary is better.

Nos - 31
Smitty - 24

Pretty even matchup. I think the two strongest units are Nos defense vs Smitty offense. As a whole, I like Nos team slightly more

Nos 27
Smitty 24

 

[MilkSpiller22]

i give Nos the edge on defense, and smitty the edge on offense... I think i give the edge to smitty because of his offensive line with his running game...

 

[Ritzarmy]

Nos wins barely because of his defense. Both great teams but someone has to lose and someone has to win. Since I voted for Nos I guess there is only losers in this matchup.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

I'm gonna give my vote to Nos

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I vote Smitty. We watch similar Tv shows.

Nos just watches old westerns.

I'm kinda the same here.

The center out to the left tackle should be able to provide plenty of time for Manning. And Barry negates a pass rush more than any back. Penetration equals space for him to exploit. Those stretch handoffs and delay cutback plays create more opportunities for play action.

 

[Mebert]

I like Smitty's offense more, but nos's d. I take nos by a very slim margin

 

[UK Cowboy]

WLK picks Nos
