Fly Eagles Fly! versus Warsaw Dragons
Every sad that this game is at 8:20PM Sunday night. That's 3:20AM for me. I stayed up like a fool for the Eagles/Falcons Sunday night game and paid for it for days. Can't do it again.
The fantasy match-up here is going to be epic as well. Two teams on the cusp of the playoffs. The loser of this game is almost certainly out of playoff contention. Lucky for me I'm going up against Tony the "insert unoriginal word that ryhmes with 'romo' here"
Ochocincodemayo is going to have a breakout game this Sunday and Warsaw Dragons are going down in flames
Pick: Fly Eagels Fly! over Warsaw Dragons
CrazyRussians versus Luke's Donkeys
continuing the Russian in a dark room theme from last week....What happens if you put a Crazy Russian and a Donkey in a dark room together? Wait...never mind. Don't answer that.Since basically all the best donkeys are on bye this weekend, this one is going to the KGB
Pick: Stalin over Luke's slacking Donkeys
"The" Golden Nimrods versus Hating the Eagles doesn't pay off (aka KOEagles)
Side note: Inventing my own straw man enemy in the KOEagles is just a better reality to live in than some story about a kid and his highschool team"
At this point I need to start looking for the bad teams to stay down so they don't have a shot at overtaking me. So that unfortunately means I'll be rooting for Micah's team. Just to clarify...that's rooting for Micah's TEAM...not Micah.
Pick: Rods over KOEagles
Sharks versus Graham's Crackers
1. As a white man, I take great offense at any team named "Crackers"
2. If you change your name to "Peanut Butter Crackers", though, I won't be offended. Cause that's diverse and who can be offended by Crackers and Peanut Butter? That's just pure awesome!
3. I will be rooting against the Crackers (maybe the All Whites would be a better name?..little Rugby twist there) cause I need some teams to go below me in the standings so it helps me more for the sharks to win. However, Rogers and Forte are both out...sooooo
Pick: Crackers spread some sort of whooping on the Sharks (but I hope I'm wrong)
Budapest ExPats versus Whistle Blowers
Choochooo....what's that? A whistle blower? No, that's the Budapest Express running over the whistle blowers. Put a fork in it. SanFran is gonna shut down the Browns Offense. Blowers only bright spot may be Frank Gore running wild on the Browns D...but that won't cut it
Pick: Preacher's team over the Whistles
BackInBlack versus Tiki Warriors
Cliff gave away Brees...and the Tiki Warriors have this dude.
Pick: Tikis change BackInBlack to BlackNBlue
Clash of the Titanus versus Budapest <cough><cough>Cow<cough><cough><mumble><mumble><can't help myself>GIRLS
My brain tells me to root for the Budapest ........ in order to keep Clash down in the standings. My heart won't let me root for a team named after the self-proclaimed "America's Team" (research it....great marketing..totally bogus statement...America hates that team!!!!)
Pick: Tom Brady owns the Steelers as always so Clash over Cowboys
