What do I feel Thankful for in Week 12?

Thanks to all team owners for making this another great Fantasy Football season. The season has been very competitive so far. Two teams are 8-3, two are 7-4 and 3 other teams have a shot at the playoffs. We're looking forward to an exciting playoff season.

Happy Turkey DayKillin' Koyotes (8-3)  I am thankful for LaDainian Tomlinson and my 4 game winning streak (the 3 game win streak was nice too). LT (#2 Ranked RB) got off to a slow start, but he was still worth the #1 pick.

Happy Turkey DayOpen (in the) Slot (7-4) I am thankful I used auto-pick in the draft. Who would have thunk about of picking Tom Brady in the third round (30th pick). Brady (#1 Ranked QB) hasn't scored less than 25 all year.

Happy Turkey DayDouble D's Flyin' Tigers (6-5) I am thankful for Brian Westbrook (#1 Ranked RB), Antonio Gates (#1 Ranked TE), and the New England Patriots (#1 Ranked D/ST).

Happy Turkey DayPhilly Hitmen (5-6)  I am thankful for a 3 game winning streak. I'm also thankful I'm un the Big Five division (4-5 wins in the division). I could make the play-offs with a little luck.

Happy Turkey DaySoul Sonic Force (7-4) I am thankful I got off to a hot 6-0 start. That 4 game losing streak was a bear!  Thank goodness for last weeks 104-88 win over that Open Slot guy.

Happy Turkey DayJonesville Terrapins (3-8) I am thankful I will finish with a better record than Rando's Razorbacks. I'd hate to hear what he'd say after I boasted I'd tear up the league as a rookie.

Happy Turkey DayRomo's Raiders (5-6)  I'm thankful I managed to turn my season around after a 1-5 start. Oh and I guess I'm thankful for TO too (#2 Ranked WR). Especially last week (4 TDs).

Happy Turkey DayOB's Method (4-7) I am thankful Steven Jackson's (RB) back from injury or the season could have been worse. At least I can play spoiler down the stretch.

Happy Turkey DayBrooklyn PitBulls (8-3) I am thankful my teams always play at such a high level. No matter what that player hater league manager says. Once again I am peaking at the right moment and primed to win another league championship. (ah ... Right Mike)

Happy Turkey DayRando's Razorbacks (2-9) I and thankful the season is only 13 weeks long!

The OpenSlot lays an egg without Brady in Week #10

Perhaps the Emperor has no clothes! With a chance to take the lead playoff position the Slot could not overtake the lowly Razorbacks. Hey JD, it's not like you didn't know Brandy had a BYE in week 10. How could that one slip by ya? Damon Huard (-3)? You didn't just underestimate the Razorbacks did ya? Real contenders win late in the season.

RAZORBACKS (2-8) @ SLOT (7-3) Drew Brees scored 18 at QB, but Brett Farve scored 32 on the bench.

Rando's Razorbacks 60
Open (in the) Slot 37

PITBULLS (7-3) @ KOYOTES (7-3) Mikey is peaking on his way to the playoffs. Ben Roethlisberger (33) was huge for the PitBulls. Pamela forgot she had the Bears Defense (17) and started the Buffalo Bills(7)? The Koyotes had to lose sooner or later. Better now than in the playoffs.
Brooklyn PitBulls 79
Killin' Koyotes 68

SONIC FORCE (6-4) @ OB'S METHOD (4-6)  The Force have the league's longest current streak (Lost 4).
Soul Sonic Force  90
OB's Method 93

RAIDERS (4-6) @ FLYIN' TIGERS (6-4) Lets just say DD is not peaking at the moment.
Romo's Raiders           92
Double D's Flyin' Tigers 79

TERRAPINS (3-7) @ HITMEN (4-6)  McNabb (36) comes thru for the Hitmen (no small favors to Brian Westbrook(37). Has the Terps lost thier MOJO?
Jonesville Terrapins 81
Philly Hitmen 100

It's the Fab 5 vs. the Big 5. All teams play an inter-divsion match up in Week 11. It's always nice to win, but an out of division loss ain't so bad. Which Division will have the most wins?

Who's HOT and Who's Not

Records are important in fantasy football, but the team that's hot going into the playoffs is what really counts. Oh and a favorable schedule for your star
players doesn't hurt. Lets look at who's hot and who's not in week #10

HOT,HOT,HOT
1. The Killin' Koyotes (7-2) - PF:914 PA:624 STREAK:W4 | Pamela is ... well
killin' 'em every week now. The Koyotes lead the league in scoring. They took
down the un-stoppable Force in week #8 and posted the weeks high total score for the second time this season. Beating Romo's Raiders 128-90. The difference in the match-up was 30 points from the Lions defense. Come on Pamela ... did you really know the Broncos would cough up 2 defense TD's to the Lions?

2. The Jonesville Terrapins (3-6) - PF:788 PA:872 STREAK:W2 | The Jonesville
boys are peakin' after a slow start. Winners of the last 3 out of 4 match-ups.
The Terps sweated out a 1 point win over the division leading Force 126-125.
They used balance scoring with 5 players in double figures (4 players were +20)
to overcome another monster performance by Adrian Peterson (47) . The RB posted 3 TD's against the Chargers.

3. The Brooklyn PitBulls (6-3) PF:819 PA:660 STREAK:W1 | The PitBulls keep
crusin' along just outside of the spot light. Last week they took down the Big
Five division leader Open Slot 79-60. The PittBulls QB Tony Romo (28) keep pace
with the Slot's star QB Tom Brady (25) who came down a peg from his 35+ performances of recent weeks.

4. Open (in the ) Slot (7-2) - PF:875 PA:715 STREAK:L1 | Okay they lost last
week, but JD hasn't lost too often. Next week is their biggest test yet. Tom
Brady's BYE week. Good thing their next opponent is the Razorbacks (1-8). You
get all the lucky breaks when you're HOT.

5. OB's Method (3-6) - PF: 692 PA:820 STREAK:W1 | OB's is 2-2 in the last 4
match-ups. Last week he posted a W against Double D's Flyin' Tigers 91-79. OB
has reaped the benefits of his smart pick-up of Tampa Bay, RB Earnest Graham
(20). Graham has filled in well after Cadillac Williams went down for the
season.

NOT,NOT, HOT
1. Soul Sonic Force (6-3) - PF:857 PA:800 STREAK:L3 | After a 6-0 start,
SSF's stock has dropped off more than Chad Pennington's arm strength. Once the division leader they where humbled last week by the 2-6 Terps.

2. Rando's Razorback (1-8) - PF:627 PA:949 STREAK:L2 | It no secret the
Razorbacks stink. But leading the league in PA doesn't help. At least they are
not gettin' blown out anymore, since Drew Brees has return to form the last 3
weeks.

3. The HITMEN (3-5) - PF:754 PA:799 STREAK:W1 Last weeks win was
the first since Week#5 for the Hitmen.

4. Romo's Raiders (3-6) - PF:707 PA:834 STREAK:L1 It's been an up and down
season for the Raiders. Mostly down.

5. DD's Flyin' Tigers (6-3) - PF:835 PA: 795 STREAK: L1 | Hey Dave ... you're
last on the NOT HOT list. That's really good you know!
