Looks like it's gonna be B.

 

[The Foot]

Do you think A has a chance? If so what percentage would you guys say A has?

 

[SmokingMonkey]

gonna be tough overcoming the Brees-Graham combo. I would say A would be 30-35% chance to win. I like B's match ups a little more. Before Peyton and Woodhead did nothing on TNF, I would have given Team A a 45-50% chance. I thought it would have gone down the exact opposite way, with Denver running the clock out in the 2nd half, and SD is pass mode.


Tough break for playoffs, but I'll be honest, I kinda like seeing all the Peyton-led teams have to really gut out a win this week with the strength of the rest of their squad. Most people probably thought his floor for this week was 30pts.

This is a tough choice even with Mannings "bad" week. SJax should put up some decent points and Spiller is a coin toss. Boldin has Crabtree stealing targets, Holmes has Streater and possibly Moore stealing targets against KC. Clay has a good matchup against NE and should put up ok numbers.

I dunno.....I think Team A has a good shot?

 

[The Foot]

Well, the good thing is the rams are pretty good at stopping the TEs this year. So I think I can win that match up because Charles should be involved in a shoot out at NE and NE has not stopped any TEs this year. And I am banking on the Bears to double team Gordon and if they can take away his normall out put I feel my WRs are far superior again if Gordon gets shut down. And it wouldn't hurt if Calvin and Marshal can have big games.

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Honestly, if good Ram's D shows up you have a chance.........your WR's could carry you to the win.

 

[The Foot]

Good one Sam! and that's what I am thinking. Plus the rams will look to run the clock with the run game.

That was kinda funny huh...................Marshall will have a big game with Cutler back...................or Haden will.

 

[The Foot]

And with Calvin being called an old man.

Here is how I break it down this week:

-Brees vs. Peyton- big edge to Brees given that Peyton already played.
-McCoy vs. Megatron- Slight edge McCoy, but this could go either way and will hinge on TDs
-Spiller vs. SJax = crapshoot- either could have a huge explosion or not
-Marshall vs. Gordon- Slight edge to Gordon, but this really is a toss up
-Boldin vs. Holmes- Toss up
-Wooodhead vs. Nicks- Toss up. Nicks hopefully doesn't go too far beyond Woodhead's 3.
-Graham vs. Clay- Huge edge to Graham despite Clay's good play lately

You best chance is if SJax puts up a big number relative to Spiller's dud and if your toss ups roughly equal out with his. Bottom line though, I put your chances of winning at about 25%.

 

[The Foot]

Thanks guys very much.

I was especially impressed with Tlance's breakdown. Tlance I love how you are looking at this. I am seeing it a little better now through your eyes and even though you like Graham and he is the brand name here I understand that. I think I have the edge at the TE spot even though you think I am at a huge disadvantage. The rest of your analisys I feel very good about.

Back to the TEs. Even though Clay had a bad week against the PATS the first time Clay from what I see has had his chemistry building with Tannehill since then. Also in my league here is how many points the two TES have scored in the last 4 weeks in my league when compared. Clay has had 20, 6, 15, 26. Graham 10, 20, 12, 21. You can see that Clay has out scored graham 3 of the last 4 weeks.

If anyone else has a view point I'd be grateful if you would share it. Treff, Joe, Ram, Chef I am looking at you!

 

[The Foot]

Scape I'm looking at you too

 

[The Foot]

I'm pretty much looking at everybody!
