It's week 13. IT IS WEEK 13! Seems like just yesterday we were playing some horse racing #paythepot at the draft. Yet here we are in the heart of the stretch run with another season winding down. Since this week will go a long ways at deciding playoff seeding I've decided to take a look at the biggest match ups.
Miller Gold Agency vs Jeffersons Young BOSS ASSES
After a 4-0 start Dylan some how finds himself number 8 in the league. With a record of 6-6 though it's pretty simple. Just win baby. Finishing 2-0 would secure a playoff birth and a shot at a coveted green jacket. Recently acquired Hollywood is the lone bye week. Dylan is going back to the Raven stack of Lamar and Duvernay as the fill in. The match up on paper seems bleak against Denver, but after a loss to the Panthers to fall to 3-8 will the Broncos start to give up ? Very possible. I currently project Lamar for 26 points. I see him and a big #revengegame from AJ Brown leading Dylan to a final total of 103. Will it be enough? Only time will tell.
Sunday Scaries vs The People's Champ
Brother on brother crime. Drew is looking to move into position for a bye while Brett is looking to win and stay in playoff positioning. Both were up making 2 am moves in preparation for the big match up. Hope some of you are taking notes.
Drew has plenty of fire power even with the resent resurgence of James Conner on a bye this week. Cousins vs Mike White this week might just be a shootout. The Jets have one of the better defenses, but the Vikings just put up 33 on NE and get a few extra days to prepare for this match up. Chubb vs Houston could be week winning alone. Then there's Lockett who's scored in 4 straight games. How will Brett counter ? Justin Herbert gets a dream match up vs Vegas and he's rolling out Palmer for the connection giving him added volatility he needs in this match up. Chris Olave feels primed for a big game on MNF vs the bucs. Not the best match up, but when the ball is thrown high and it sails through the sky.... that's.... Olaaaaaveee (Italian singing voice). Higgins vs KC has tons of potential as does Zay Jones Vs Detroit. I project both teams over 100. Can't wait to see who comes out on top.
The Dirty Birds vs Burrows Before Hoes
This isn't just the game of the week, but I believe this is the game of the year thus far. A match up of 2 of the top 3 scorers on the year. A match up with overwhelming trash talk potential. A match up that will likely decide the fate of Soliz this year. Some how Soliz is in 7th despite being 3rd in points. If Soliz wins though he becomes a big favorite to make the playoffs with his heavy point total for tie breakers. If Soliz loses to Branch it's going to be very difficult to make the playoffs depending on what some of the other teams do. How is Soliz proceeding in a must win game against the best team in the league ?
He's going to need a big game from his Cowboys Dak and Pollard. He's also going to need things in Vegas to switch back from Jacobs to Adams. Those two provide massive swing potential in this match up. Soliz currently has an empty W/T flex. Will he roll out Mckenzie for 2 Bills WRs ? Does he trust Dionte in a cake match up ? Whoever he chooses he better not Choose poorly against such a juggernaut. Burrow vs KC with chase back... BOSS. Kirk vs Detroit... BOSS. Ekeler vs Vegas.... BOSS. Rachaad the price is White.... BOSS. The Sun god.... BOSS. Not to mention the savvy move of adding the Browns defense vs the Texans. A Branch win means a likely bye and a Soliz sweep that might be even sweeter. Both teams should light it up on Sunday. Man I'm ready for this match up!
Who do you guys have winning these pivotal match ups ?
