I like Femur’s team a lot, one of the best in the draft. We both have explosive offenses and great offensive lines but I have to give the edge to my offense it is more explosive. I also think Shockey is the x-factor, he was underrated IMO. I also think both are defenses are great, he has the edge in the secondary bc his safeties are better but I think I have a huge edge on the defensive line. I think my d-line is very tough and could get a nice rush on the passer as well as clog the middle, along with Lambert up the middle. I give the edge to my team.

All these match-up ate going to be a coin toss. I do think Shane offense would put s few more points on the board in a shootout

This is pretty tough... I think both have problems covering receivers but Shane has a huge advantage in pass rush from the front 4 but DT and Suggs give Fem a nice boost... IMO this comes down to who can get a the most from the run game... I gotta lean AP... Shane

Shane - 27
Fem - 24

Skill players- Shane wins(close)
Oline- Femur wins(VERY CLOSE)
Dline- SHane wins(close)
LB- Femur wins(close)
Secondary-Femur win(less close than all others)


I got Femur in a close match...

 

[Nosferatu]

Both teams have a weakness so I don't know who to vote for in this one. I guess I got Shane

 

[CitySushi]

Man this was really tough. Went back and forth a few times. But gun to my head, I'm going with Shane.

The reason I have Shane slightly ahead is because of his ability to possibly set up a run game. Femur has a great pass rush, but I think Young's elusiveness alleviates some of that. With a solid run game it add another dimension to winning the game.

Also Favre is not the most accurate QB so it again alleviates some of Shane's concerns in the secondary.

I want to vote for Femur because Shane is a buckeye fan but I cant fault him for that. Seriously wow this game is a close matchup. I got shane winning but its close. Neither team will win by a FG because their kickers suck.

Congrats Shane
