w00t. Went in tonight down by 14 points, but I had Schaub and Chris Johnson. Feeling good.

Would still have won my matchup had I started Manning, but starting Schaub means I retained my overall point lead in the league.

Got my butt kicked. I knew I would when Warner went out in the first half and I have Fitzgerald and Breaston as receivers.

Still in first place in my league, though, at 8-3.

You have Ftizgerald and Breaston? What a homer.

scaeagles · 11-24-2009, 11:40 AM

They've been producing....at least until this week. breaston didn't have even a single catch. I took Breaston late because I figure Fitzgerald and Bouldin draw most of the doubles and the Cards run a lot of 3 receiver sets.

Well now, I have a good decision to make this week. Indy plays Houston again. In week 9, Manning out fantasy'd Schaub, but not by much. I don't think I can really go wrong with either, and I think they'll both be looking to outgun each other, should be a big week at QB for me either way. I'm leaning towards Manning. Houston's pass D is technically ranked higher, but Indy's D seems to have the stats edge in the columns that matter for fantasy scoring.

I've already locked up a playoff spot in my fantasy league, just a matter of whether I hold onto to 1st place going in.

It hinges on tonight's game. My opponent as Arizona's defense and Tim Hightower. So all I need is for SF to not turn over the ball, run up some points, and stop AZ's running game.

2nd place, here I come!

Undefeated Super Bowl!

I know it is unlikely but I think the earth would actually break in half from the hype such an event would trigger.

Ghoulish Delight · 12-14-2009, 10:22 AM

Well, neither of them have anyone on the schedule that should be a challenge, if the coaches decide not to sit starters with home field advantage locked. I think it's a good bet that at least one of the two will go 16-0. Playoffs of course being a different story. But boy would that be fun to watch if it does happen.

I can see the tagline now:

Super Bowl XLIV: Now just like the Fiesta Bowl!

Hmm, if both teams finish the season undefeated, but don't end up in the superbowl together, will Congress present a bill to enforce a BCS-style system in the NFL?
