Carnac: Weekly Matchups

We're three weeks into the 2007-08 fantasy season and there already have been surprises;

• Erin/Eric are undefeated
• 7 teams are 1-1 along with 2006 Champ Josh
• Dan matched his entire 2006 win total after one week (thanks Isaacs).
• Kevin team is winless
• Josh hasn't said "Soooooooooooooo Good" 5,000 times yet.

Here are some interesting match ups this week;

Marital Matchup of the Week:

Hughes Your Momma (2-0) vs. Internet Predator (1-1)

• Analysis: The league's best and only undefeated team squares off with the 2006 Champ. The Predators will be praying that Steven Jackson plays up to his potential and that Frank Gore, Steve Smith, et al can have back-to-back good weeks. Carnac's thinking that "Momma" will not get another 50 point performance from Carson Palmer and that LT's one game scoring drought is over. Its a shame that "Momma" doesnt have a #2 WR this week either with Andre Johnson hurt.
• Prediction: Predators 118, Momma 109. Josh wins, but has to change diapers and sleep on the couch for a week. Like the artist formerly know as "Coach" used to say, sometimes when you win, you really lose.......

Best Friend Matchup of the Week:

Jerious Curls (1-1) vs. 4th and Lynches (1-1)

• Analysis: I really dont know what to say here because I am still in shock that Scott kept Jerious Norwood over TJ Houshmandzadeh. Some quick stats - Norwood 9 total points vs TJ's 29 total points. How's the that working out for you so far? Scott's looking for a bounce back week from his other stellar keeper and Madden curse candidate, Vince Young. On the other side, Derek's squad will be relying heavily on Joseph Addai and Marvin Harrsion to lead him to victory. Btw, Jason Campbell???? Interesting.....
• Prediction: Curls 89, Lynches 87....Scott wins this close on a last minute Vince Young score during Monday Night Football.

Best of the Rest:

NJ Thrillers (1-1) vs. Mak'n it Rain (1-1)

• Prediction: Rain 94, Thrillers 82....Mike's RB's are facing tough defenses while it almost has to be a breakout week for Reggie Bush. This could all change once Westbrook's MRI results come today.

Paper Biatches (0-2) vs. Money in the Bank (1-1)

• Prediction: Bank 102, Biatches 84....I wanted to call the upset here. I really did. But, sorry Kev, I think you're starting our 0-3. Owens, Moss and Burress might cover your score by themselves. I hope so, because Benson sucks.

Koolaid=American Hero (1-1) vs. Bringing Sexy Back (1-1)

• Prediction: Hero 120, Sexy Back 117....Both teams have decent matchups. I believe this is the week for my runningbacks to go nuts facing shitty defenses. Should be an interesting matchup.

Breakout Player of the Week: Adrian Peterson or Laurence Maroney
High Point Player of the Week: Reggie Bush
Disappointment of the Week: Marc Bulger or Travis Henry
Frustrating Player of the Week: Brian Westbrook
