Last week's fantasy football predictions for the People's League fared about as well as the Oklahoma Sooners did Saturday night. The forecasts went a chilly 1-4, lowering our season record to 13-17. It's time to start steering these picks back toward .500.
People's Pigskin vs. Palm Bay, Fl. BearDown85. Neither quarterback (Tony Romo or John Beck) will set the world on fire, but both teams have a star running back taking the field on Monday night. Somehow, you have to like Ray Rice's chances a little bit better than Maurice Jones-Drew's. The Pigskin's losing streak ends right here.
Hudson Valley Hawks2 vs. Glen Gardner's Finest. Yes, the Finest will get plenty of points from Calvin Johnson, but so will the Hawks, because all those passes will be coming from Matthew Stafford. The Hawks should take this battle of division-leading teams.
Minneapolis Fantastic Houll vs. Arcadia Roses. The top two fantasy-scoring quarterbacks are facing off here. But in the battle of Aaron Rodgers versus Cam Newton, you have to take the player with the cheesy State Farm commercial. Look for a Houll victory here.
LA Lockouts vs. VinSethVaughn Bears. Adrian Peterson gets to take handoffs from a rookie quarterback starting his first NFL game. Drew Brees gets to throw to Jimmy Graham, currently the top-scoring tight end in fantasy football. (Look it up.) The Lockouts have the tools to get a fifth win.
Team Brotherton vs. t-bay jacks Young'ry Buccs. ESPN's experts have the defense/special teams matchup here as a "push." The people who bring you this fine Web site would respectfully disagree. The advantage goes to the Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams, who should lead the Brothertons to a Monday-fueled victory.
Thanks as always for reading, and enjoy the games (and the race). We'll be back with some results.
