Week 9 Previews (1)

Vicodins (George) v. Aggies (Mark)
Prediction: Vicodins by 5

The most important player in this matchup: the team doctors (see unknown doctor on the right sporting a Caesar cut) who will make the calls on the availabilities of Anquan Boldin and Calvin Johnson. Since acquiring Randy Moss in Harrison's first sell-off a few weeks ago, George has been able to put Moss and Megatron on the (fantasy) field together for all of about 5 plays before Megatron went off limping. So far, the past and the future elite WRs are penciled (moused?) in the starting lineup. If they both stay there, the Vicodins could solidify their claim to a playoff spot with a crucial win.

Korn on the Kolb (Jonathan) v. Coastals(Harrison)
Prediction: Kolb by 10

The man below is looking for a jersey:
Presuming he puts on the Coastals' jersey before this weekend, his presence may still not be enough to put the Coastals over the top in what may soon become the most heated rivalry in the league. A rejection of a trade offer of Tom Brady for Mike Sims-Walker apparently triggered a bad childhood memory for Harrison, when little Mikey turned down Harrison's offer of a lunchable for a skittle. Wait, Tom Brady was offered for Mike Sims-Walker? He of 3 touchdowns and 1 booty-call in 2 seasons? Look for Sims-Walker to put up about 1/3 the points of Brady this week - but his teammates to make up the deficit against a team whose owner bowed out of the spelling bee when he spelled his name incorrectly at registration.
Tackle Me Elmo (Jay) v. Steel Curtain (Brian)
Prediction: Elmo by 5
Last Sunday, Jacksonville's vaunted offense began the game with nine straight passing plays - resulting in two 3 and outs and an interception. On play 10, the Jags handed the ball off to MoJo - and 80 yards later, the Jags were in six. Football is a simple game - you play to your strengths, and hide your weaknesses. Jay looks to be doing exactly that here: as he has signed up three former Texas Longhorns, and stashed them neatly on his bench - where they belong.

This is a smart decision that will pay off in another win for the league's highest scoring team.
