Tim's Power Rankings - Week 13 + Predictions

What?  Power rankings and predictions on the same day?  You better believe it.

Power Rankings - Week 13
[Previous Rank in brackets]

1.   (8-4, 1335.96 pts) [3] - Aaron's team is on a roll, and it doesn't look like it'll be stopping anytime soon.  Talk about late season surge.  His RB2 is weak, but it doesn't seem to be affecting his team at all.  His players have just been stepping up each week.  For the last 4 weeks, he's been the league's top scorer.  FOUR weeks in a row.  Hasn't scored less than 131 points since week 8.  Ridiculous.  Like I mentioned before, though - if the Packers decide to rest Rodgers before the NFL playoffs, Aaron could be in trouble.



2. (9-3, 1357.44 pts) [1] - Justina's team is much improved with a new QB, but Aaron's team is just way too hot right now.  Losing situation for Justina, but she's still putting up good numbers.  BJGE has been impressive in replacing the hole left by Forte.  I want to see a rematch of these top 2 teams in the finals.  It'd make for an interesting one.


3.  (7-5, 1314.82 pts) [2] - Tough loss last week for Jeff's team.  3-game losing streak.  But I don't have any less faith in his team putting up a fight in the playoffs.  The winter weather could hurt Brady's stats, but he'll be fighting for a better playoff spot, so I'm sure he'll play better to compensate.  Or I might just be totally wrong.


4.  (6-6, 1207.46 pts) [5] - Cam Newton will continue to be irked by all his losses and will try to prove that he can win.  GO PANTHERS!  I need my WRs to step up if I'm going to keep winning, though.  There are definitely inconsistencies on my team, but I think it looks better than the rest on paper.


5.  (7-5, 1207.66 pts) [7] - Luke has set himself up for a pretty good end of the season.  2 solid RBs (until McFadden returns..), good-to-decent WRs, and a solid QB.  Not bad at all.


6.  (6-6, 1196.12 pts) [6] - Rounding out the playoff field, David has had some nice pickups (Vince Young, Laurent Robinson, Carson Palmer?), but I don't think his team is in it for the long-run.  It's got enough holes to be inconsistent


7.   (6-6, 1128.34 pts) [4] - Eric's team has fallen hard.  The past 3 weeks have found him as the 9th, 8th, and last highest scoring team for each week.  John Kasay might be past his prime..


8.  (5-7, 1139.40 pts) [8] - David had an ok first season.  I think his biggest flaw was keeping Stafford on the bench for so long.  I think he could have definitely had a few more wins if those points were converted to game points through a trade.  Just sayin.


9.  (4-8, 1073.12 pts) [9] - Laura rebounded a little from her unimpressive start, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough to elevate her into the playoffs.  At least she wasn't last.


10.  (2-10, 1031.06 pts) [10] - I don't think Gabs checks his fantasy team anymore.  6-game losing streak.  It's not like he'll be able to lose out to draft Luck.  But I guess there comes a point when there's not much to play for anymore.  gg Gabs.


Week 13 Predictions
SUPER SPEED!

Overall record(33-22)(11-9)(7-8)(24-16)(13-7)(9-6)


odoyle RULES v. JUSTINA OWNS - I have to win this game to guarantee a spot in the playoffs.  Odoyle controls his own destiny.  odoyle RULES and WINS.  Please?

Spider Pig v. JohnKasay#1 - Eric wisely puts Tebow in, which may end up being his redeeming grace, but I don't think it'll be enough.  Spider Pig wins.

Rainbow Warriors v. The Debbinator - Patriots are playing the Colts.  Enough said.  Rainbow Warriors win.

RelientK v. aaronisyourdaddy - I think this one should be obvious.  Aaron wins.

THE Pain Train v. Terrific Tortoises - Let me just mention that it is still statistically possible for David to get into the playoffs.  Will it happen?  No.  But at least he can hope.  Tortoises win.
