WEEK 11 REPORT

Three weeks to go before the "real" season begins. This week features two of the most compelling match-ups all season long. First of all, in the Original Division, we have the defending champion, Predators (8-2) going up against this year's scariest team, the Backdoor Bandits (6-4). Twice the Bandits have dropped 200 points on an opponent. Just last Monday, QB Michael Vick dropped 70 alone with 6 TDs (4 passing, 2 rushing). The Bandits started slowly, but they've gained a head of steam and now have a chance to close the gap with two weeks remaining after this game.

In the Extra Crispy Division, the legendary BCFFL powerhouse, Megatons (6-4), are riding a winning streak of their own and have a chance, finally, to square off with all that stands in their way for first place, the Cougars (7-3).

With a Bears victory over the Dolphins last night, the match-ups have already begun. Here are the totals so far:
  • 17-0: Delta Marauders def Gauchos
  • 15-0: Predators def Backdoor Bandits
  • 7-0: Gators def The Spoiler
  • 0-0: The Megatons vs Cougars
  • 2-0: Houston Fuzz def Parking Thugs
Now, enjoy a sneak preview of all the action in Week 11, and good luck to everyone!

GAME of the WEEK
ORIGINAL DIVISION SHOWDOWN!

PREDATORS
8-2
vs
BACKDOOR BANDITS
6-4

LARRY FITZGERALD
90 ypg avg for the last 3 games

For the second time this season, Larry Fitzgerald finds himself in a Predators uniform. The Cardinal WR is set to face the K.C. Chiefs in Week 11 with the Predators ahead 15-0 thanks to the Bears DST. Next to the Delta Marauders' combination of Ben Roethlisberger and Tom Brady, the Predators have the strongest tandem at QB in Peyton Manning and Philip Rivers. Manning gets Brady on Sunday afternoon and Rivers has the Monday game against Denver.

Another strong Peyton on the Predators is Peyton Hillis of the Cleveland Browns. As Shannon Sharpe put it last Sunday, "If Pittsburgh had The Bus in Jerome Bettis, then Peyton Hillis has to be the Winnebago." This guys eats up yards!

Andre Johnson and Arian Foster find themselves in the Big Apple taking on the Jets in an AFC showdown. This is the biggest test of the season for the Predators so far.

DeSEAN JACKSON
2 TDs, 317 ReYds - Career vs NYG (4 games)

The Bandits have the deadly combination of Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson to deal with. And it isn't a question of if they will connect, but how many times is more like it. Last week these two alone accounted for practically 100-points. This week they get the Sunday night game against the Giants. We know how well they work at night, considering last Monday's clinic against the Skins.

In addition to Vick and Jackson, Matt Cassel quietly had a 47-point weekend against Denver last Sunday. The way Dwayne Bowe is catching the ball these days, Vick and Cassel may be more than enough to counter Manning and Rivers.

You can't forget about our #1 overall pick in Chris Johnson along with Michael Turner and Darren McFadden. It's looking like this Sunday's game is going to be a real closely contested match. The Bandits have to overcome a 15-point deficit, but they appear to have the roster to get the job done.

GAME of the WEEK
EXTRA CRISPY DIVISION SHOWDOWN!

THE MEGATONS
6-4
vs
COUGARS
7-3

KNOWSHON MORENO
106 RuYds - Week 10

The Megatons know how to win games and this week they can claim a spot at the top of their division with a win over the Cougars. The consistency and trust in their line-up to get the job done has paid off. Drew Brees and Matt Ryan rank right up there with the best duos in the BCFFL, and this weekend they'll have Seattle at home for the Saints, while the Falcons travel to St. Louis.

Miles Austin and Dwayne Bowe have been deadly at WR for The Megatons, and Knowshon Moreno and Steven Jackson are the blue collar backs. The Megatons can make a real statement this weekend as they battle the Cougars.

FRANK GORE
Avg 146 yds from scrimmage - last 4 games

The Cougars have led from the very start of the season; from the draft, many would argue. With Frank Gore and Adrian Peterson carrying the ball, to Manning and Sanchez throwing it, to Percy Harvin, Calvin Johnson, and Antonio Gates catching it, this is one very balanced attack.

So what gives in Week 11 against The Megatons? Are these all pros going to shrink when it comes to adversity? Or will these battle-tested pros man up and get the job done? First place is officially up for grabs.

THE SPOILER
7-3
vs
ALLIE-GATORS
3-6-1

TERRELL OWENS
834 ReYds, 7 TDs

Not to be lost in the hunt, The Spoiler are still in the race despite an earlier loss this season to the Predators With the league's second best record at 7-3, The Spoiler stand to benefit with a Bandits win over the Predators this weekend.

Leading the way is T.O. along with Rashard Mendenhall and the starting QBs: Kyle Orton and Aaron Rodgers. The Spoiler hopes to continue preparing for their playoff run and it continues this weekend as they face the wily Allie-Gators.

FRED JACKSON
Week 10: 133 RuYds, 1 TD

The Allie-Gators hope to make some noise before this season is over. They are going to have to run the table, and that means having to deal first with The Spoiler. With Jay Cutler having 7-points against Miami last night, the Gators are down to their nine remaining players.

Among the bright spots in the line-up this week has to be Maurice Jones-Drew and Greg Jennings. MJD has been tearing it up lately for Jacksonville, and Greg Jennings can neutralize the production of The Spoiler QB Rodgers with a big day against Minnesota.

DELTA MARAUDERS
(EXTRA CRISPY DIVISION)
4-5-1
vs
GAUCHOS
(ORIGINAL DIVISION)
3-7 

DEZ BRYANT
7 TDs

Another hopeful contender in the BCFFL still fighting for their playoff lives are the Delta Marauders. Brady and Roethlisberger are the lifeblood of this team and they put up 79-points a week ago. This Sunday the Pats face their longtime rival, Indianapolis. The Steelers take on the Raiders after losing to New England at home last Sunday night. They're going to be fired up to play an even older rival in Oakland.

The DMs have a couple of key receivers preparing for big nights with the new-look Cowboys, under Jason Garret, turning to Dez Bryant, and the NFL's leading receiver, Roddy White, taking on the Rams in St. Louis.

Vernon Davis and LeGarrette Blount will be busy battling one another in San Francisco as the 49ers take on the Bucs this Sunday. The Marauders can even their record at 5-5-1 with a win.

RANDY MOSS
3 receptions away from 8th all-time WR

The clock has nearly struck 12 for the Gauchos. The power outage the Gauchos have been suffering through has been very costly. Randy Moss now plays for a third team this season and he's been rather pedestrian all year long. Matt Hasselbeck has resurfaced as one of the league's brighter QBs in Seattle. Wonder how he'll do in New Orleans this Sunday.

Ray Rice, Anquan Boldin, and Jamaal Charles are the main weapons in the Gauchos arsenal as they go up against the Delta Marauders, while playing for their season to stay alive this weekend.

PARKING THUGS
3-7
vs
HOUSTON FUZZ
2-8

JACOBY FORD
Week 10: 148 ReYds; 30-points

The Parking Thugs made a huge deal heading into Week 11 and they're hoping that they can catch lightning in a bottle with Jacoby Ford of the Oakland Raiders. Ford made a smashing debut with a kickoff return against Kansas City last weekend along with 148 receiving. It remains to be seen what he'll try to do for an encore in Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Brett Favre needs to stop taking pictures of his junk and start trying to salvage what's left of a very disappointing season in Minnesota as his old team, Green Bay, comes to town. That ought to be fun to watch.

The Thugs' season hangs in the balance and they've got to get over on the Houston Fuzz to keep it alive. Can they do it?

BRAYLON EDWARDS
Cotchery's injury means more work for Edwards!

The Houston Fuzz may officially be the first team playing the role of the spoiler this Sunday as they take on the 3-8 Parking Thugs. A win and they may have company of the non-postseason variety.

Braylon Edwards, Joe Flaccco, and Carson Palmer lead the efforts for the Houston Fuzz in Week 11.

Good luck to all!
