Here's the matchup for my finals in my money league. If I win, I'll donate $10 to TGT for the bits of advice I've gotten over the season.

Yeah NE gives up so many points to QB's .... Arizona has only given up 14 passing TD's this year. Alex Smith usually is only good for 200 and a touch.

Wow, no Burress? Giants have given up the 3rd most passing TD's this year. I'd bench Thomas. Last week looked good, but it was against NE. Buffalo does give up a lot of passing TD's, but man I just have a hard time riding Bronco production that long.

It could change 20 times between now & Saturday, but I can't decide if Plax will use game against NYG as motivation or if NYG will know how to stop him... it's a hard decision but like I said, could change.

Update for my matchup...

I sat Thomas in favor of Gaffney and he sat Harvin for Torrey Smith. Both decisions have worked well in my favor so far.

Scoring update on my matchup from the early games...

gschwendt	Pts		opponent	Pts
QB - Aaron Rodgers RB - Michael Bush RB - Ahmad Bradshaw WR - Jabar Gaffney WR - Brandon Marshall TE - Brandon Pettigrew W/R - Jordy Nelson K - Nick Novak DEF - Pittsburgh	9.4 18.2 13.7 21.6 13.0		QB - Drew Brees RB - Chris Johnson RB - Donald Brown WR - Steve Johnson WR - Torrey Smith TE - Jimmy Graham W/R - Calvin Johnson K - John Kasay DEF - Baltimore	5.6 4.8 9.2 3.8 5.0
TOTAL	75.9		TOTAL	28.4

Still a lot of players left to play but feeling really good so far. Just hope Megatron & Brees don't go off and that Rodgers & Nelson play a considerable amount.

I had complete and utter Line-up Nirvana this week... aside from starting Kalil Bell over Bush, there's not a move I could have made to improve my score whereas my opponent has two guys on the bench that could have considerably improved his score. I can't imagine my opponent catching me but if anyone could do it, Brees could certainly come close.

[morsdraconis]

Yeah, I take Jordy Nelson out of my lineup and he explodes again... (sigh)

I just need 39 points between Colston and Brees to win my championship matchup (non-money league, unfortunately) and I've already annihilated my other championship matchup in a total bullshit league that I was in just to fuck around. Kinda hard not to win when Brady goes for 50+ regularly because of the ridiculous scoring system that league has.

[psuexv]

Won my consolation matchup so I'll take 3rd and $100. Sucks too because I would have beat both guys in the finals this week. Stupid Drew Brees and Aaron Hernandez last week.

[morsdraconis]

Well, I won my two bullshit leagues that don't really matter. QB choices TOTALLY fucked me in my pay league. Fuckin' stupid PPR league guide stupidly making me believe that Matt Ryan and Matt Schaub were just as good as Brees, Rodgers, and Brady because of the better WRs I'd have would balance it out...

[gschwendt]

Obviously no surprise after last night, I won going away 156.5 - 89.0. Looking back over the season, in this week, I scored the most by anyone in any week. Now only to worry about whether everyone paid their dues or not... I know a few weeks ago, the commissioner was still trying to gather funds from some folks.

Anyone ever get in a Fantasy Playoff challenge. You pick a roster, but you can't have more than one player from each playoff team.

My fantasy league is doing one and it's tough. Not only have to pick good players but have to watch how far they'll go in the playoffs.
