Picks: Week 11

I apologize SNFLers. I have a service to uphold and have been doing a poor job of it. I have been very busy this semester and have been unable to pick every week. This week's picks are for you guys. With every team still in the playoffs race this week should be huge. So let's get down to the picks.

Game of the Week:
Red Tiger vs. Eleven's Chosen Ones
This game decides so much. The loser of this game is nearly knocked out of the playoff race in the SFC, while the winner gets a huge boost there. Red Tiger has been up and down all season, but as of late they are going through a slump. Eleven's Chosen Ones have been even more up and down this season. They also are in a slump. Any team can win this and it is anybody's guess as to who will. Luckily your "master picker" thinks he knows.
Who wins it: Eleven's Chosen Ones
Why: Both teams have ridiculous matchups this week and will put up quite a few points. While Red Tiger appears to have the better players, Eleven's Chosen Ones have been putting up better numbers as of late. The lack of an RB2 will also come back to haunt Red Tiger this game.

Game 2: Core Protection vs. The Ox
This game means a whole lot more for Core Protection than it does the Ox. The Ox has 4 games to secure one win to get into the playoffs while Core Protection needs to win out or come close to it. As of late Core Protection has been putting up points well over the 100 mark and they have become very top heavy. To win this though,they will need to play their best football against the dominating Ox.
Who wins it: Core Protection
Why: This team needs the win more, and I think it will show as they take on The Ox. Core Protection's players play with heart and they have huge momentum going into this one. It won't be easy though and expect the Ox to easily eclipse 100.

Game 3: Team Canuckistan vs. Las Tortugas Negras
This game is another important one. At least for Las Tortugas Negras. Team Canuckistan has locked up their playoff appearance, but a win here will go a long way for their first round bye. On the other hand, Las Tortugas almost MUST win this one to stay hopeful in the playoffs. A loss here could be devastating but it will not eliminate them completely. Team Canuckistan looks to rebound after four shitty games in a row and keep his #1 points for ranking in the SFC.
Who wins it: Team Canuckistan
Why: Team Canuckistan has struggled these past four weeks, but Las Tortugas Negras has struggled far worse. Las Tortugas Negras did have a huge upset over Red Tiger last week, but both teams were low scoring. Do not expect the same thing against the mighty Canucks.

Game 4: The Carnegie PantyRaiders vs. themadoompaloompas
The Carnegie PantyRaiders have been nothing but lucky this season. Of course there was their epic comeback vs. Core Protection, but let's also not forget Jeff Reed's missed field goal in the final seconds vs. The DAWGS and of course their 130 point game keeping them from having the highest margin of defeat in SNFL history. themadoompaloompas are one loss away from being completely eliminated from playoff contention. This game means everything to them.
Who wins it: The Carnegie PantyRaiders
Why: They are so lucky. Expect this one to go into MNF and then some bullshit happens. But in all honesty The Carnegie PantyRaiders quietly have the #2 points for in the SNFL and should easily overcome themadoompaloompas #10 points for ranking.

Game 5: The Mud Eaters vs. The DAWGS
The Mud Eaters are one game away from locking up a first round bye in the playoffs, while the DAWGS are one loss away from extremely decreased playoff hopes. The DAWGS have shown heart in their games so far this season, and always show up against The Mud Eaters. Expect both teams to play hard this week.
Who wins it: The DAWGS
Why: The DAWGS are the only team who have beaten the Mud Eaters this season, and don't think it was a fluke. Expect Tom Brady to lead the DAWGS to a stunning NFC upset that puts The DAWGS front and center for that third NFC playoff spot.

There you have it. Good luck to everyone this week.
