Every game from here on out is a rematch of previous match-ups! Here is a look at this weeks match-ups and how the teams fared against each other in Week One!
*Projected scores are my scores, and not associated with ESPN...
COLLEEN (5-2) VS. ERIC (4-3)
Week One: Eric def. Colleen, 89-85
A tight match up ended in despair for Colleen as Fred Jackson went out with injury and only landed Colleen one point. Drew Brees led the way for Eric with 21 points, sending Colleen to a loss in her first GDL appearance.
This Time Around:
This time you can expect a little more scoring, but like last time, you can expect this one to NOT end in blow out fashion. Eric and Colleen are 2nd and 3rd, respectively in scoring in the GDL. Cam Newton will take the snaps under center for Colleen, despite playing the top defense in the league right now. Meanwhile, only Owen Daniels is out on a bye week for Wallace.
Drew Brees will out perform Cam Newton without question, but both Colleen and Eric are tightly competitive with all RB's, WR's and the flex are considered. Which WR's and RB's will step up?
Projected Week 8 Score: Eric 113, Colleen 107
JOSH (4-3) VS. KEVIN (4-3)
Week One: Josh def. Kevin, 114-55
A total embarrassment, in which Josh had a potent rushing attack and Kevin had a potent rot... well pretty much everywhere.
This Time Around:
Josh and Kevin's teams have been pretty comparable since week two in points production and both have found some success when both started to figure out their every day line ups. Both are hoping for wins to propel them back into the Wild Card race, and maybe even the division race as well.
Josh has more talent with his running game, when all things are considered. But this week, Kevin has struck gold, as he draws Josh in a week when the league's best overall back Arian Foster takes a seat on the bench with a bye week. Worse yet for Josh, his only potential replacement, Green-Ellis is also on a bye week. Meaning josh will have to go fishing down the waiver wire for a back up RB.
The running back issue will prove tough for Josh to overcome.
Projected Week 8 Score: Kevin 110, Josh 107
NEAL (5-2) VS. JON (2-5)
Week One: Eric def. Colleen, 111-92
A very respectable outing for Jon in his GDL debut, but not enough to overcome a stong showing from Neal on this week. Matt Ryan and Ray Rice were incredible, and Jimmy Graham and David Akers combined for 30 points.
This Time Around:
The good news for Neal: He sports one of the most reliable RB's in the NFL in Ray Rice, a dominating receiving threat in AJ Green and dominating performers with M. J-Drew and Jimmy Graham. The bad news: ALL WILL BE ABSENT THIS WEEK AGAINST JON.
As if Neal hasn't been struggling with injuries lately, Rice and Green both draw bye-weeks. To make matters worse, his back up WR Torrey Smith is ALSO on a bye this week. Meaning: Phillips has to ride the magical waiver wire just to land a WR to play this weekend.
This simply is just too much fire power not in play for Neal.
Projected Week 8 Score: Jon 110, Neal 91
JARED (3-4) VS. MONICA (1-6)
Week One: Jared def. Monica, 117-54
Jared blows Monica out in her GDL Debut behind solid performances from Julio Jones, Aaron Rogers, Gronk and the Texans D. Monica falls to 0-1 and many begin to question what she'll be able to do with a weaker line-up in future weeks.
This Time Around:
Jared's team has been far from dominant as it was in Week One. the running backs have been abysmal at best, and Julio Jones was an On/Off light switch act with Roddy White all season, as QB Matt Ryan clearly prefers one WR to the other game by game.
Anquan Bolden will be out for Jared this week, but the biggest hit he will take... the Texans D, which has been one of the best defenses to this point. But Fred Jackson is out for Monica, and Frank Gore is hurting. Even if he plays, no one will expect a 100% performance out of Gore this week.
Monica won last week and wants to make it two in a row. But Aaron Rogers has finally found a little bit of rhythm with his receivers and Jared's entire team just has better match ups this week.
Projected Week 8 Score: Jared 102, Monica 95
You really think my team will score 102 points? I'll give my retards a glorious 87 points.
ReplyDeleteI'll give Monica 95 points.
