What we learned: NFL divisional playoff round!









By JC Godin
 
Holy mother of lord!! What a weekend that was!!! I do not recall an NFL playoff weekend where we had two instant classics and maybe the birth of "the next thing," the second coming, Colin Kaepernick!!!

Let's talk Kaepernick! Recall what I said about Kap when he first got wet?? Dual-threat QB, makes it harder for defenses. It's hard to game plan versus such a threat when your offensive line is DOMINANT and your running back is named Frank Gore!! But what really stood out about Colin is not how fast he can run, nor how smart he is at reading defenses, but the accuracy on his throws are close to sublime! I'm not joking!! Pay close attention this Sunday or go look back at some game tape! Green Bay put up a good fight, but by the end of the third quarter, that D had no answer for Kap!!

We witnessed the Pats win at home... Bla bla bla.... Zzzzzzzz... Snore fest!!! We all knew New England was going to win and we didn't learn anything! We already knew that Matt Schaub stinks in red zone and third down situations!
Next!!

Alright, classic #2 showed us how good the Seattle Seahawks are, even in defeat! Scoring 28 unanswered points in two quarters!! WOW!! Colin Cowherd of ESPN claims that Russell Wilson is a top-five QB in the NFL, and you know what? I kind of agree with him! Seattle is going to kick some serious ass next year and maybe for many years to come! One thing is for sure, the Seahwaks/49ers, Wilson/Kaepernick feud will be fun to watch! And that Seahawks D will still shine regardless of the loss of their defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, who took the job as HC in Jacksonville!

I have to give it to the Falcons though, Matt Ryan is also top five QB in the league! He is leading this team well, and a lot of the credit has to go to HC Mike Smith, who hired Mike Nolan and Dirk Koetter as DC and OC! But on Sunday, this is where it stops for the Falcons!

Classic #1, Ravens vs Broncos, was maybe the best game I have ever watched, and I've seen plenty of football! There is so much to take from this game, I don't know where to start! John Fox's conservative ways again come and bite him in the rear-end! How all mighty Peyton looked like someone who could not make a 20-yard pass from the third quarter on! How safety Rahim Moore misplayed the ball and that is quite the under statement!!! That was bad!!!! Just Horrible ball skills!! But most of all, what I took from this game was the never give up, believe attitude the Ravens had throughout the match!! Joseph Flacco is also top five in the NFL! Say what you want to say, but Flacco is LIGHTS OUT!! Ever since coach Harbaugh fired OC Cam Cameroun, it's like the "training wheels" finally came off!! It was truly a team effort, from Flacco to Ray Rice to Ray Lewis and his 17 tackles! SAY WHAT!! Yes, 17 tackles!! From Torrey Smith's first half to Anquan Boldin's 2nd half! From T-Sizzle to CB Corey Graham, who played the game of his life!! The fifth round draft pick of the Chicago Bears from 2007 never played such a game in his career!! That's playoffs. The unsung hero emerges from that one game at that special time!! The most impressive thing about the Ravens win is the fact that they won despite the fact they gave up two special teams TDs to Trindon Holliday (I'm sure the Texans are kicking themselves after cutting him!!)! On a side note, I was quite glad to see the Broncos lose! Take that, John Elway!! The way he played Tebow out of Denver, let's just call what happened on Saturday poetic justice! I'm sure Elway had nightmares of last year's playoff game against the Steelers! Te-Bow, Te-Bow!!! Tebow has one thing Manning doesn't - A playoff win as a Denver Bronco!!

Looking at championship Sunday's games, as I stated earlier, I think the Niners will beat the Falcons! The O-line and D is way too dominant right now, and with the emergence of Colin Kaepernick, forget about it!! Nice season Falcons! Though I don't expect the Niners to steamroll all over the Falcons! Atlanta will make it interesting!

As for the AFC, the Ravens are the team nobody wants to play right now!! Ray's goodbye gave this team the last push it needed after Cameroun's firing! The Ravens are rolling on all cylinders!! Yes this is the all-mighty Pats, and I'm a huge Tom Brady guy, I like Brady, but Flacco out-balled him in the last two meetings against him. He also just out-balled Peyton Manning! The Ravens have no reason to fear the Pats, but the Pats should fear the Ravens!! This is a dangerous team to play against! If football gods truly exist, the Ravens will win against New England and make it to the Super Bowl!! Win or lose, it don't matter; just to make it there will be incredible for the franchise! It will be the last time Lewis, Reed and Suggs will get to play together, and how fitting would it be for them to do it on the biggest stage of them all!!

How sweet would it be to see the two brother coaches go at it for the Lombardi Trophy! Let's go Niners and Ravens!!!

NFL Fantasy Rankings rankings for week #7

By Jean-Claude Godin

QB:

1)Drew Brees, Saints @ Bucs
I expect this matchup to be high-scoring with a Saints win and NO can't run the ball so it's gonna be another Sunday of cool Brees, as he will extend his record for most consecutive games with at least a TD.

2)Robert Griffin III, Redskins @ Giants
Another high-scoring affair in this match up and the Redskins offense is all about RG3 and Alfred Morris. The Giants just came off a huge win in SF but in Giants fashion, they will follow up that nice road win with a loss at home. If the Giants win, it will be ugly. Redskins will keep it close and score by the pound!

3)Andrew Luck, Colts vs Browns
Luck has bounced back from every bad outing this year and they play the Browns at home...... The Colts are still without their RB Donald Brown.

4)Eli Manning, Giants vs Redskins
As I stated, Redskins vs Giants will be high-scoring, so I think we will see a nice QB duel between Eli and Griffin which will be their first meeting.

5)Tony Romo, Cowboys @ Panthers
I know, How can I put Romo so high??? He didn't play bad last week and he plays the mediocre Panthers D on Sunday. I like this matchup!! That's if he can stay away from tossing picks.

6)Aaron Rodgers, Packers @ Rams
The real Rodgers is starting to show face, but imagine what the results would be on his part if his O-line could block a bit better? This is why I have AROD in the 6 slot. The Rams D will make it difficult for him on Sunday.

7)Ryan Fitzpatrick, Bills vs Titans
This is probably the highest I will rate the ivy leaguer this year. This has high scoring written all over this matchup vs the Titans.

8)Tom Brady, Pats vs Jets
Jets are stout vs the pass so I expect the Pats game plan to focus around Steven Ridley

9)Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers @ Bengals
10)Matt Schaub, Texans vs Ravens
11)Joe Flacco, Ravens @ Texans
12)Andy Dalton, Bengals vs Steelers
13)Jay Cutler, Bears vs Lions
14)Josh Freeman, Bucs vs Saints
15)Carson Palmer, Raiders vs Jags
16)Matt Hasselbeck, Titans @ Bills
17)Sam Bradford, Rams vs Packers
18)Cam Newton, Panthers vs Cowboys
19)Mark Sanchez, Jets @ Pats
20)Brandon Weeden, Browns @ Colts

Matt Stafford did not make my top 20, I really think he will have an ugly game on Monday night!

RB:

1)Arian Foster, Texans vs Ravens
Baltimore is giving up a lot of yards vs the run and now they're without Ray Lewis.

2)Trent Richardson, Browns @ Colts (only if hes 100% healthy)
The Colts D is SOFT and T-Rich is a monster. If his ribs hold up, he should have a monster Sunday.

3)Darren McFadden, Raiders vs Jags
McFadden has struggled so far this year and I think he will the rest of the season since he has never looked good running in the zone blocking scheme. But this is the Jags we are talking about here!!! Dress Run-DMC

4)Steven Ridley, Pats vs Jets
The Jets are weak vs the run, this is a good match for them to change the trend, but until they do... I like Ridley to run close to 100 yards with a score.

5)Adrian Peterson, Vikings vs Cards
Make it 5 weeks in a row for AP without a score. His ankle is still bothering him but he's a must-dress every week. The Cards are now back with Skelton at the helm.... Vikings will win and AP could finally see pay dirt.

6)Maurice Jones-Drew, Jags @ Raiders
7)Ray Rice, Ravens @ Texans
8)C.J. Spiller, Bills vs Titans

9)Chris Johnson, Titans vs Bills
WOW CJ2K is back on my list. If he can't run wild on the Bills defense then you can forget about him the rest of the season.

10)Alfred Morris, Redskins @ Giants
11)Felix Jones, Cowboys @ Panthers
12)Marshawn Lynch, Seahawks @ 49ers

13)Fred Jackson, Bills vs Titans
Spiller and Jackson have to be dressed at the same time because of the time share..... If you drafted both of them like I did, well-played.

14)Matt Forte, Bears vs Lions
15)Ahmad Bradshaw, Giants vs Redskins (not 100%)
16)Frank Gore, 49ers vs Seahawks
17)Michael Bush, Bears vs Lions
18)Rashard Mendenhall, Steelers @ Bengals

19)Andre Brown, Giants vs Redskins
Brown has been practicing with the first team this week!!! Sleeper play here. Just doublecheck his status on Sunday morning.

20)Doug Martin, Bucs vs Saints
21)Steven Jackson, Rams vs Packers
22)Daryl Richardson, Rams vs Packers
23)Ben Jarvus Green Ellis, Bengals vs Steelers
24)Alex Green, Packers @ Rams
25)Mikel Leshoure, Lions @ Bears

WR:

1)A.J. Green, Bengals vs Steelers
Ike Taylor can't cover anyone this year!! Money!!!!

2)Victor Cruz, Giants vs Redskins
If Green went off on DeAngelo Hall a few weeks ago, I think Cruz can do the same!! SALSA TIME!

3)Marques Colston, Saints @ Bucs
Colston looked good prior to the bye and it looks like the Saints will be without Jimmy Graham.

4)Vincent Jackson. Bucs vs Saints
Jackson scored 3 TDs in his last two games, I think he gets at least one vs the Saints.

5)Andre Johnson, Texans vs Ravens
Ravens just lost their #1 CB Ladarrius Webb for the year!!! AJ on Sunday.

6)Steve Johnson, Bills vs Titans
Johnson is getting at least 10 looks a game, but the last few weeks the Bills have played against top defenses.... not this week!

7)Kenny Britt, Titans @ Bills
Britt has all the physical tools to succeed. This should be the game were he goes off, as last week he was starting to show signs of his old self.

8)Reggie Wayne, Colts vs Browns
Wayne looks rejuvenated and besides Joe Haden in the Browns secondary, there isn't much. Wayne should have himself a party on Sunday!

9)Brandon Marshall, Bears vs Lions
Cutler has eyes only for Marshall.

10)Mike Wallace, Steelers @ Bengals
Seems like he's the only receiver who is capable of scoring TDs for the Steelers..

11)Calvin Johnson, Lions @ Bears
12)Percy Harvin, Vikings vs Cards
13)Mike Williams, Bucs vs Saints
14)Larry Fitzgerald, Cards @ Vikings
15)Dez Bryant, Cowboys @ Panthers
16)Hakeem Nicks, Giants vs Redskins
17)Jordy Nelson, Packers @ Rams
18)James Jones, Packers @ Rams
19)Denarius Moore, Raiders vs Jags
20)Wes Welker, Pats vs Jets
21)Antonio Brown, Steelers @ Bengals
22)Kendall Wright, Titans @ Bills
23)Josh Gordon, Browns @ colts
24)Donnie Avery, Colts vs Browns
25)Torrey Smith, Ravens @ Texans

TE:

1)Jason Witten, Cowboys @ Panthers
2)Heath Miller, Steelers @ Bengals
3)Aaron Hernandez, Pats vs Jets
4)Jared Cook, Titans @ Bills
5)Vernon Davis, 49ers vs Seahwaks
6)Rob Gronkowski, Pats vs Jets
7)Owen Daniels, Texans vs Ravens
8)Brandon Myers, Raiders vs Jags
9)Scott Chandler, Bills vs Titans
10)Jermaine Gresham, Bengals vs Steelers

What did we learn in the NFL week #6

Jean-Claude Godin

What did we learn this past weekend?? A whole lo,t let me tell you.

First off, the San Diego Chargers will never win with Norv Turner at the helm and GM A.J. Smith should also be accountable for making the decision to go with Philip Rivers over Drew Brees!! That decision didn't turn out so good in his favor!!

Last night's match was a HUGE win for the Denver Broncos, as the rest of their schedule is quite soft!
Even though Denver has issues on defense, I don't see San Diego winning the West. Denver needs to smarten up though, as they rely way too much on Peyton to save face for their horrendous starts. It's not fair to put Manning in a situation where he has to make comeback after comeback.

Last Thursday, we witness the Titans squeaking one by the Steelers. Pittsburgh has massive issues on the o-line once again, but what concerns me more is the inability of the Steelers to punch it in when they're in the red zone! This team has to be one of the worst red zone offenses out there (with the Eagles of course)! Steelers go to Cincy Sunday night in what should be a exciting match. Both teams have a lot to prove.

Sad to see the Colts come out flat in the 2nd quarter of last Sunday's match vs the Jets! The reality is that the Colts D is SOFT!! Shonn Green is an average back in the NFL and the Colts allowed Green to gallop for 160-plus yards on them!! Yes, the Jets were a dangerous team to play, but still... as the ESPN crew would say: "C'MON MAN"!! Nothing is lost for the Colts, though. Their next 4 games are against the Browns, @Titans, Dolphins and @Jags!! Three wins out of 4 is a possibility.

Speaking of the Jets, I have to give some love to coach Ryan, coach Sporano and coach Westhoff (special teams) for their game plan and how they have been using Tim Tebow!! The fake punt-pass was brilliant and bringing Tebow to move the chains on 3rd and short is just common sense!!

We also learned that as long as Andy Reid keeps calling the shots for the Eagles, this team will always underachieve. The defense has no sacks in their last 3 games and I guess it was DC Juan Castillo's call to take Nnamdi Asomugha off of Calvin Johnson in the 4th quarter since he was fired or relieved of his duties earlier this morning. Todd Bowles steps in as new DC!! Good move, but this move will cost Reid's job!! Todd Bowles will be Philly's new HC next year!! If not, then I think we might see Jon Gruden going back to Philly, where it all started for him as a coach in the NFL!

We also learned that Tom Brady is one of the biggest trash talkers for a QB in the league. How amusing was the Seahawks match vs the Pats!! Brady apparently told Seahwaks CB Richard Sherman (who is becoming one of the game's top CB) to come and see him after the game with Seahawks safety Earl Thomas (who is also a star in the making)....well somewhere in the 4th quarter Brady threw 2 picks... 1 to Sherman and the other to, that's right, Earl Thomas.. and guess what, Sherman went to pay Brady a visit after the game!! What goes around comes back around!!

We learned that the San Francisco 49ers and Houston Texans are not made to come from behind, thus I can tell you none of those two teams will win the Super Bowl!!

I love how year after year most fans and experts still show no love to the G-Men!! Boy did New York showed the nation last Sunday!! They punched San Fran right in the mouth to top it off with a good kick in the....you get the point! NEVER DOUBT THE GIANTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR RECORD..... and I will go on the record here and state that WR Victor Cruz has what it takes to maybe become the greatest wide receiver after Jerry Rice!! I see similarities between both of them!!

How impressive was that Redskins win vs the Vikings!! Vikings were up 9-0 after the 1st quarter and had momentum... that was until Robert Griffin III went OFF!!! HE WAS BALLING!!! Great game plan by the Shanahans! You can't run on the Vikings defense but are not a pass first offense so you have to stick with the run but it wasn't rookie Alfred Morris doing most of the running...it was RG III.

To cap things off, I just want to take this time to mention Ray Lewis's injury! By now all know he tore his triceps and is done for the year!! He will turn 38 next May!! Could his career be done?? I hope not and i pray not since to end his glorious career the way it ended on Sunday is just not right!! Now let's cross our fingers for the other ageless wonders, Falcons TE, Tony Gonzalez and for Bucs DB, Ronde Barber to finish off their seasons and career the right way!!

My Fantasy rankings for week #6

Jean-Claude Godin

QB: 1)Matt Ryan, Falcons vs Raiders
Raiders are still without their top 2 CB so expect big things from Ryan!

2)Peyton Manning, Broncos @ Chargers
Manning might of lost some velocity on his passes but he is still putting up numbers thanks to that aweful defense!! Denver has been playing a lot of catch up football lately.

3)Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers @ Titans
Titans are just horrible so far this season and I dont see any improvemnt on their part!!They don't have a pass rush and this will be easy for Big Ben!

4)Aaron Rodgers, Packers @ Texans
I expect the Packers to maybe cause a surprise here!!!

5)Tom Brady, Pats @ Seahawks
This is a tough one to call, Seattle's D is wicked good but so is Tom Brady!!

6)Philip Rivers, Chargers vs Broncos
7)Matthew Stafford, Lions @ Eagles
8)Christian Ponder, Vikings @ Redskins
9)Mike Vick, Eagles vs Lions
10)Eli Manning, Giants @ 49ers

18)Kevin Kolb, Cards vs Bills
19)Alex Smith, 49ers vs Giants
20)Sam Bradford, Rams @ Dolphins

RB

1)Adrian Peterson, Vikings @ Redskins
Redskins D are allowing a lot of yards via the run so far this year!! This could be finally the game where AP is back to his old self.

2)Trent Richardson, Browns vs Bengals
Cincy D can't stop the run and T-Rich is a natural!!

3)Arian Foster, Texans vs Packers
If there is no BJ Raji for the Pack, Foster will go off!!

4)Jamaal Charles, Cheifs @ Bucs
Charles is one if not the most dangerous back in the league! Every time he touches the rock, he can bring it all the way home!

5)Marshwan Lynch, Seahwaks vs Pats
This will be a tough match up for beast mode but he remains the focal point of the Seahwaks attack so you can expect a heavy workload!

6)Frank Gore, 49ers vs Giants
7)Ray Rice, Ravens vs Cowboys
8)LeSean McCoy, Eagles vs Lions
9)Michael Turner, Falcons vs Raiders
10)Ryan Matthews, Chargers vs Broncos

20)William Powell, Cards vs Bills

WR

1)Julio Jones, Falcons vs Raiders
Just go back and re-read what I said about Matt Ryan playing the Raiders

2)AJ Green, Bengals @ Browns
Green will have Joe Haden on him but Green is a beast so who cares!!

3)Roddy White, Falcons vs Raiders
Both Falcons receiver should have a monster sunday!

4)Larry Fitzgerald, Cards vs Bills
Bills defense is just plain horrible

5)Calvin Johnson, Lions @ eagles
His situation is getting a suspicious, he might be playing hurt??

6)Wes Welker, Pats @ Seahawks
7)Antonio Brown, Steelers @ Titans
8)Mike Wallace, Steelers @ Titans
9)Andre Johnson, Texans vs Packers
10)Victor Cruz, Giants @ 49ers

My Fanatsy ranking for week #5

By Jean-Claude Godin

If you have any questions feel free to hit me up at jayc_93@hotmail.com

QB:

1)Aaron Rodgers, Packers: The real packers offense showed up last week, granted they played the Saints D but this up coming weekend rodgers and the Packers play the Colts!!! Their D is not that much better!

2)Matt Ryan, Falcons: If Josh Freeman can pass for 299 yards on the Redskins secondary, imagine what Ryan and the Falcons oofense can put up!!

3)Tom Brady. Pats: Brady vs Peyton chapter 13!!! This is usally always an ariel attack between those two. Expect the same!!

4)Peyton Manning, Broncos: The Pats secondary is crap!! Ryan Fitzpatrick did toss 4 TDs and the week before Flacco looked GOOD!!

5)Drew Brees, Saints: even though the Saints are 0-4, Brees is still puting up Numbers!! This week they host the Chargers on sunday night!! Prime Time, coast to coast.... Brees always look good on national televised games!

6)Eli Manning, Giants vs Browns
7)Joe Flacco, Ravens @ Chaeifs
8)Robert Griffin III, Redskins vs Falcons
9)Philip Rivers, Chargers @ Saints
10)Andy Dalton, Bengals vs Dolphins
11)Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers vs Eagles
12)Jay Cutler, Bears @ Jags
13)Cam Newton, Panthers vs seahwaks
14)Matt Schaub, Texans @ NYJ
15)Mike Vick, Eagles @ steelers
16)Christian Ponder, Vikings vs Titans
17)Ryan Tannehill, Dolphins @ Bengals
18)Andrew Luck, Colts vs Packers
19)Kevin Kolb, Crads @ Rams
20)Brandon Weeden, Browns @ NYG

RB

1)Arian Foster, Texans @ NYJ: Jets are 30th against the run, Houston's O-Line is clearly The NFL's best!!

2)Adrian Peterson, Vikings vs Titans: Titans D is better against the run then against the pass but this is AP we are talking about here!!!

3)Marshawn Lynch, Seahwaks @ Panthers: Carolina' s defense is just one of the worst in the league!! Even Though the seahawks are without John Moffit up front, it won't matter!

4)Trent Richardson, Browns @ NYG: T-Rich is a monster and has a nose for the end zone!! Giants D is average at stopping the run.

5)Ray Rice, Ravens @ Cheifs: Cheifs defense is reasonable against the run but Rice is a duel threat!! He reminds me of Marshall Faulk in so many ways!

6)Frank Gore, 49ers vs Bills: Bills D stink so I expect gore to have a solid game, beware of the return of Jacobs though. He might and come in and steal some goal line looks. Ditto to the niners wildcat formation and Kendall Hunter gor 8 carries last week and looked real good!!

7)LeSean McCoy, Eagles @ Steelers: If the eagles continue to use FB Stanley Havili like they did last sunday night against the Giants, McCoy could be in for a HUGE game!!

8)Reggie Bush, Dolphins @ Bengals: Bush remains the Dolphins focal point of the offense and the Bengals have the worst defense vs the run!!

9)Maurice Jones-Drew, Jags vs Bears: I Don't really like this play but Jones-Drew is a must start every week!

10)Darren Sproles, Saints vs Chargers: Saints are finally to find back their way into giving Sproles the rock!

11)Ahmad Bradshaw, Giants vs Browns
12)Jamaal Charles, Cheifs vs Ravens
13)Steven Ridley, Pats vs Broncos
14)Cedric Benson, Packers @ Colts

17)Matt Forte, Bears @ Jags
18)Michael Turner, Falcons @ Redskins
19)Willis McGahee, Broncos @ Pats
20)Steven Jackson, Rams vs Cards
21)Chris Johnson, Tiants @ Vikings
22)Kendall Hunter, 49ers vs Bills
23)Fred Jackson, Bills @ 49ers
24)Brandon Bolden, Pats vs Broncos
25)Rashard Mendenhall, Steelers vs Eagles

WR

1)Victor Cruz, Giants vs Browns: Browns are still without CB Joe Haden and Cruz is just a nightmare matchup for defenses!

2)Roddy White, Falcons @ Redskins: most defense are putting their attention towards Jones and this opens things up for White!

3)Brandon Marshall, Bears @ Jags: Marshall put in a nice game on monday night vs the cowboys!! When Cutler has time to throw he will go in Marshall's direction most of the time!

4)AJ Green, Bengals vs Dolphins: Green will be matched up against Sean Smith who put in a nice game last week vs Fitz but Green has been a stub all year long!

5)Jordy Nelson, Packers @ Colts: Nelson had his best game last week and with Jennings sitting out, it looks like a nice sunday for Jordy

6)Wes Welker, Pats vs Broncos: Not so sure the Pats want to fade Wes out. Hernandez and Edelmen are still out!

7)Andre Johnson, Texans @ Jets: Johnson did not have the monster game we expected last week but you have to dress him regardless. This week I expect the Texans to go more run heavy on the Jets but no Revis so AJ might get a score or two!

8)Eric Decker, Broncos @ Pats: I said before and I'll say it again.. the pats secondary is meh, which means average at best!

9)Larry Fitzgerald, Cards @ Rams: I'm not in love with Tonight's matchup. Jeff Fisher has made the Rams D really respectable! They play hard on every snap!

10)James Jones, Packers @ Colts: James Jones finally looks like he is turning the corner. This here is a sleeper play!!

11)Demaryius Thomas, Broncos @ Pats
12)Maques Colston, Saints vs Chargers
13)Torrey Smith, Ravens @ Cheifs
14)Brandon Lloyd, Pats vs Broncos
15)Julio Jones, Falcons @ Redskins

Fantasy rankings for Week 4

Instead of me telling you who to dress and who to sit, I decided to rank the players per position instead.

Here are my fantasy rankings for week 4

QB:

1)Aaron Rodgers: This is finally the week where Rodgers will put up numbers!! SF,Chi and Sea were three tough match ups but now the Packers receive the worst D in the league... the Saints!!! Cha-Ching!!

2)Matt Ryan: So far he's been the best fantasy QB this year and that trend should continue. Carolina offers a weak pass rush and Ryan should have no trouble connecting with Julio and cie.

3)Tom Brady: The Pats offense looks a bit out of synch and this is shocking considering the reunion with Josh McDaniels. I still expect this game to be high scoring. Remember last year's match between the Pats and Bills in sept.???

4)Eli Manning: Doesnt matter who they play and who is playing at WR for the Giants! Eli gets the job done!

5)Peyton Manning: I'm one of those who think Peyton can't throw the ball properly but for this week it doesn't really matter as the Broncos receive the Raiders!

6)Matt Schaub vs Titans
7)Drew Brees vs Packers
8)Andy Dalton vs Jags
9)Robert Griffin vs Bucs
10)Ryan Fitzpatrick vs Pats
11)Mick Vick vs Giants
12)Tony Romo vs Bears
13)Jake Locker vs Texans
14)Christian Ponder vs Lions
15)Matthew Stafford vs Vikings
16)Cam Newton vs Falcons
17)Jay Cutler vs Cowboys
18)Philip Rivers vs Cheifs
19)Josh Freeman vs Redskins
20)Matt Cassel vs Chargers

RB:

1)Maurice Jones-Drew: Bengals are last vs the run and last week Jones-Drew went off and showed the nation he is ba

2)Arian Foster: Foster is the best RB in the NFL so this is a no brainer!

3)Adrian Peterson: Lions defense does not look hot and AP said it himself that the rust is gone after last week's game vs the niners.

4)Marshwan Lynch: Rams get back their 1st round pick from last april's draft in Michael Brockers but this is not enough to shut down beast mode!!

5)Jamaal Charles: I think it's safe to say that Charles is back to old self after last week and the Cheifs will be without Peyton Hillis so expect big things from Charles vs the chargers on sunday!

6)Doug Martin vs Redskins
7)LeSean McCoy vs Giants
8)Run DMC vs Broncos
9)Cedric Benson vs Saints
10)Frank Gore vs Jets
11)Willis McGhaee vs Raiders
12)Alfred Morris vs Bucs
13)Ryan Matthews vs Cheifs
14)DeMarco Murray vs Bears

WR:

1)Calvin Johnson: Even if Stafford does not play it does not matter. We call him Megatron for a reason!!

2)Andre Johnson: Watch him dominate the Titans secondary this sunday!! ManChild will be going off on sunday!!
