Office Space Moment
After a 3-1 week, I managed to probably kill my playoff chances in 2 leagues with a 1-3 week. Team 1 won but is really not in the best position to make the playoffs unless some teams ahead falter. Team 2 is in and I need to ready them for the playoffs. Teams 3 and 4 are almost dead in the water.

Team 1 Roster of 10 team veteran league (5-6)
QB: E. Manning, Garcia, V. Young - Eli or bust!
RB: Barber, White, Gore, Jordan, K. Watson - Expecting big game from White against CIN and now that Brown is suspended!
WR: R. Williams, Welker – Need Welker to shine now that Holmes is hurt!
TE: D. Lee, Scheffler – Lee sucked this week!
K: Jeff Reed, Kris Brown – Reed is obvious but it’s supposed to rain!
DST: ARI NYG, TB - Cardinals are hot and face Dilfer!
(Picked up Cardinals and put Holmes on IR)

Team 2 Roster of 12 team PPR league (8-3)
QB: Schaub, V. Young - Shaub plays CLE!
RB: Bush, Parker, A. Hall - Bush is game-time decision!
WR: Wayne, R. Williams, Welker(flex), Coles, Evans – Need big game from Welker!
TE: Witten – Witten got his already
K: Josh Brown, Gostkowski – Brown is indoors!
DST: Arizona, Chicago – Cardinals are hot!
(Picked up Andre Hall, Cardinals Defense and dropped Jordan, Losman)

Team 3 Roster of 10 team, 3rd year league (3-8)
QB: Schaub, Brees – Had enough of Brees!
RB: Dayne, Parker, Gore, D. Williams, S. Young – Help me, I’m starting Dayne!
WR: A. Johnson, R. Williams, Welker, Branch – Roy E. Williams tanked already!
TE: D. Lee, V. Davis – Lee sucked this week already!
K: Kaeding – Only K
DST: San Diego - Only D!
(Picked up Dayne, Schaub and dropped Jordan, BAL)

Team 4 Roster of 10 team, 2nd year league (5-6)
QB: V. Young, McNabb – McNabb is out!
RB: A. Hall, Parker, Gore, D. Williams - Betting on Hall over Gore!
WR: Wayne, R. Williams, Stallworth(flex), S. Moss, Branch, Evans - Rolling the dice with Stallworth!
TE: LJ Smith – LJ is back!
K: Jeff Reed – Only K!
DST: San Diego,  – Only D!
(Picked up V. Young, Hall and dropped Holmes, BAL)

nfl_logo_helmet1.jpgThe slide continues this past week with a meager 6-8-2 performance.  6 weeks left in the season and I think I’ve finally figured out why I’m having a bad season. I’m an Underdog player. In most years the Underdogs win 55-60% of the time. This year it’s been the favorites that have been winning most games.  I did not realize that until after I entered my picks but maybe it’s something that I can use to improve my now awful 72-78-8 record.

I’m already 1-2 this week after the Thanksgiving favorites ruled.

TEN (-1) @ CIN - I’m done with CIN
SEA(-3) @ STL - Seahawks looking good!
