Week 13 Previews

Virginia Apples v. Ballsacks
Yahoo! Prediction: Apples by 15
This game could not matter less to the playoff picture - which is pretty amazing considering the Apples own the biggest surprise of this fantasy (or real life) season: Michael Vick. Even before Vick's monster performance against Houston, the Apples were projected to roll. Yahoo doesn't lie here.

ORR v. Horn Supremacy
Yahoo! Prediction: ORR by 6
Surprise, Surprise: we found a game that mattered less than Apples v. Sacks. In a matchup between two teams with a combined 7 wins, it's no surprise that the highest projected scorer is... umm.. Josh Freeman. Having kept Sidney Rice on his roster the entire season, the Horn Supremacy is looking to carry some good tidings into next season, which is all that they're playing for now. ORR wins, but won't cover.

Duke Plays Football v. Grantsville Bandits
Yahoo! Prediction: Duke by 4
These two teams are a mere 3 points apart, but are separated by mirror 8-4 and 4-8 records. With AP's health in question, and Grantsville carrying the MNF trump card with Deion Branch and LDT, look for a rare fortunate turn for the Bandits.

Nads v. Runts
Yahoo! Prediction: Nads by 2
Nads are in an absolute must-win situation - and who would have thought at the beginning of the season that someone's playoff chances will ride on the legs of Peyton Hillis, who has carried the runts the entire season. With Brandon Jacobs running against the Skins, and Hillis continue to churn out one great week after another, the Runts should deliver the death knell to the Nads' season in this contest.

Korn on the Kolb v. Steel Curtain
Yahoo! Prediction: Curtain by 5
Some misguided folks would label this the matchup of the season between the two best teams - they would be wrong - the best team in the league is 11-1, and both of these teams have lost at least 3 games. With Brady working against Rexy on MNF, expect the Curtain to chalk up loss no. 5 of the season, which is quite a few more than the best team in the league.

Hoof Hearted v. Crimson Pride
Yahoo! Prediction: Pride by 3
Next Man Up must be the theme of the season this point forward for Hoof Hearted. Having rode the legs of Frank Gore and Ray Rice to this point of the season, LaGarrett Blount must step up into the void vacated by Gore. Blount's performance last week lacked punch, and if that continues, the Hoofers will have to wait one more week before clinching the regular season title.
