Welcome to the 9th annual week of StartEm/BenchEm with Mr. X. Well this week is very special indeed. Turkey day is tommorow and some NFL games are going down. Luckily the StartEm/BenchEm this week are going to be divded into Thursday and Sunday Categories. The Thursday Locks are mostly people that I believe are going to be major performers. My lifetime predicitons stand at 71-41. My teams are 10-0, 8-1, 9-2, and 9-2. Without further ado, let's get to it. StartEm THURSDAY ---------------------------------- Brett Favre QB/GB - Going up against a soft DET pass D, it's a game of some importance, and GB is on fire. Donald Driver WR/GB - One begets the other. Tony Romo QB/DAL - A Brett Favre wanna-be who is doing an damn fine job of honoring him. Terrel Owens WR/DAL - Last week he outproduced half my team combined. This week should be about the same. R. Williams WR/DET - Despite the fact that DET is going to lose, Kitna really has looked his way to make any sort of play. Jerricho Cotchery WR/NYJ - Cowboys D has been dissapointing against the pass to say the least, and Clemens seems to be giving him the lion's share of the looks. All your Colts QB/RB/WR/TE/K/D/ST IND - This is the week the Colts get back on track. BenchEm THURSDAY --------------------------------------- All your Falcons QB/RB/WR/TE/K/D/ST ATL - They suck, worse than DET. Harrington extends his curse of suck. Kevin Jones RB/DET - This week doesn't look so good, and neither do the rest. If you still have free agents and there is anyone better...waive him. Defense D/ST NYJ - Going against the high scoring TO and Romo combo, not really sensing a big game for the D. Thomas Jones RB/NYJ - Please do not be fooled by the facade of him actually having talent. He still doesn't have a TD, and this one doesn't look good. Thursday Predictions --------------------------------- GB @ DET = GB - Brett Favre is having an amazing season and DET hot streak has come to an end, no brainer here. NYJ @ DAL = DAL - NYJ did well against PIT (I still say PIT is going to beat NE), but this week it is a return to Earth as DAL will beat the stuffing out of them. IND @ ATL = IND - Colts get back on track, especially against Harrington and Leftwich.... Everything above the line below will not be changed when this is edited on Saturday for Sunday's games. Good Luck, Game on. Mr. X P.S. Happy Thanksgiving! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sunday - Quick FIRE StartEM --------------------- David Garrard QB/JAX Reggie Williams WR/JAX Drew Brees QB/NO Vinny Testaverde QB/CAR Willis McGahee RB/BAL Nate Washington WR/PIT BenchEM ------------------- Jay Cutler QB/DEN Cedric Benson RB/CHI Frank Gore RB/SF All the Dolphins QB/RB/WR/TE/K/D/ST MIA All Eagles Save Brian Westbrook PHI Predicitons --------------------------------- 1 PM Games ------------------ SEA @ STL = SEA WAS @ TB = TB MIN @ NYG = NYG NO @ CAR = NO BUF @ JAC = JAC TEN @ CIN = TEN HOU @ CLE = CLE OAK @ KC = KC 4 PM Games --------------------- SF @ ARI = ARI DEN @ CHI = DEN BAL @ SD = SD Sunday Night Football ----------------------- PHI @ NE = NE Monday Night Football ------------------------ MIA @ PIT = PIT Good Luck, Game on.
