Week 8 Previews

Slam Pig vs. premature ejaculate

Could this be the week that my fairytale season finally comes to a screeching halt? The answer is who knows. That's why we play the games and that's why we follow this little hobby of ours so feverishly. Jeff's Romo is on BYE, but thanks to some keen managing on his part, he managed to hold on to a more than capable Eli Manning despite the gluttony of trade offers he may have received for his semi-stud backup QB. My disgruntled WRs need to put up or shut up as they continue to get a plethora of yardage without any trips to the endzone. I can't reasonably expect my RBBC Boys to continue their stellar play without getting help from the possibly overrated WRs. That means you Chad Johnson.

Anal Assassins vs. Arab Assassins

Mike finally rebounded from a 3 game losing streak to stay in the playoff picture last week. Z's losing streak has now reached Mario-like proportions, but he may finally have found a decent QB option in Griese who has a great matchup against a pretty crappy Detroit secondary. This is Z's big chance to stop his skid with Mike's Rudi possibly shelved again. Jon Kitna's overratedness knows no bounds and has finally been benched for a much better QB playing against an atrocious Cincy secondary in what is sure to be a shootout. Cool! Mike traded for my Adrian Peterson. Oh wait, no. That's just the sucky Adrian Peterson. Speaking of sucky, can Chester please just get hurt and stop molesting carries away from "All day?"

Ng 1 vs. Ng 2 : The Battle of Mark Terrace

Yes I know Jack has his own team name but I refuse to acknowledge a name which was smack talk to me....3 weeks ago. Update people, update. Don't act like you have so many better things to do. Gary's cinderella season took a little detour as he tasted his own medicine and lost by fractional points to Kent last week. Jack's disastrous season continues, but there may be a light at the end of the tunnel as Steven Jackson finally returns to the field after a prolonged absence and actually has a pretty good matchup against Cleveland. If St. Louis plans on winning a game this season, this seriously is the only shot. Otherwise, hellooooo record books! Gary's big guns (Palmer, Westbrook) will rebound after a poor showing last week and Gary should have this game pretty well in hand unless Marvin Harrison and Steven Jackson finally justify their high draft positions and give Jack some hope going forward.

Rico no u vs. raga yes u

Um. The best thing we can say about those names is that at least they're not 'No Strength'. This is sure to be the second best match of the week after mine and Jeffrey's although this has potential to be very high scoring and may actually end up being more climactic than the aforementioned one. Both Lovie Smith and Rager E. Ngager continue to start Cedric Benson for some reason, without realizing that he may be the worst RB to enter the league since Curtis Enis. Or Ki Jana Carter. Or Blair Thomas. Are we seeing a trend here? Congratulations to Joseph Addai for making partners. He is now a proud partner in Indianapolis RBBC, Inc. So that's good news.

Albert vs. Kent

I don't even feel like typing out their names. Their game will be great and it will have points and touchdowns and yards and things of that nature. There may also be Field Goals involved. Some players will do well. Others will under-perform. Here's a guarantee: One of these WILL win this game.

Biz vs. Shortbus All Stars

Mario scratched and clawed all season and then just erupted last week in a stylish win against a very quality opponent last week. I am not going to bet against Mario as he clearly has potential to score nicely on any given week as he showed last week. Brandon Jacobs, Chris Chambers, and Jay Cutler will all have solid weeks, but it is going to be a tall tall order to go against the completely insane Patriots Offense lead by The Man and his bunchmate Stallworth. If Frank Gore ever had the opportunity stop his bustfest season, it's this game against a weak NO run defense. This will be a much tighter contest than people expect.

As always, good luck to everybody this week. Have a happy Sunday!
