For the two people who look forward to my fantasy football league weekly recap, I apologize for slacking off this week. Something about being unbeatable makes it hard to care about the sorry state of the competition in my league. But I’ve snapped out of it, and decided to do a Thursday handicapping session of this week’s upcoming games. Enjoy!

The Great Colluder (-10) vs. His Brother: This game would be closer, but P.Manning is likely to carve up the Bills. The final result will depend heavily on how the Rams do in Seattle (DTB is starting 3 Rams).

Abramoff’s In Jail (-23) vs. NY or Bust: Ironically, NYoB could win this game if he’s stop starting injured players like Hasselbeck. But, this kid probably hasn’t logged-on in a few weeks, so Abramoff should win handily, especially with Javon Walker going against Oakland.

Alabama Black Snakes (-6) vs. Fear the Turtle: Oooh, I hate to be Turtle. He’s starting Damon Huard, but who knows, T.Green could get the start at the last minute. This could go either way. Plus, I like some of Snake’s matchups (Brady playing in NJ, etc).

Tinkle Fairies (-2) vs. Timmy Smash!!: Will Timmy swap Toomer (injured) for Roy Williams? If he does, he’s got a shot to win. Still, I give the edge to the Commish.

Cubanlinks (-17) vs. Go Skins: This could be the game where I get caught looking ahead. Go Skins is 1-8 and probably hasn’t logged-on since the draft. Still he’s got some good players, no byes and no injuries. Plus I’m starting Romo in place of a shaky Grossman.

Playoff Implications: The top-6 teams (out of 10) make the playoffs, which sucks. That’s just too many, but it’s what we’re stuck with. Thankfully, the division winners (the league is split into 2 5-team divisions) get a first round bye. That’s what I’m playing for.

In my division, Timmy Smash (6-3) and Tinkle Fairies (6-3) are 2 games behind me (8-1). And they play each other this week, which means at least one of them will fall 3 games behind if I win. Sweet!
