Twas the night before Christmas Eve. OK, I’m not going to make a stupid rhyme. It would be corny.
But if I had the time to craft one, it’d be perfect for this matchup.
Two of the NFL’s top young quarterbacks, the top two running backs this season and two of the most exciting wideouts are just a small sampling of what Super Bowl V will feature.
And it’s likely that those three players will decide this matchup.
Two of them don’t step onto the field until Monday night — the Jammers Matt Ryan and Roddy White — so that means in all likelihood, the News Team will be leading after Sunday night. And that means the Jammers is going to need a Fear and Loathing Special — a Monday Night Football comeback.
Ryan and White will be going up against the Saints — a matchup that went to overtime earlier in the season with both players putting up decent performances. They should be in line to do the same thing this time around, but the biggest question is how many points will the Jammers be down by because he has a troublesome matchup in the Browns-Ravens game.
Peyton Hillis, who has tapered off over the last three weeks, will be running up against Ray Rice, who is coming off of his best game of the season.
One more and the Jammers will become the JFL’s first two-time champion.
But the News Team is going to have his say. With Aaron Rodgers back and playing against a defense that allowed Michael Vick to score 50 fantasy points, there’s no reason why he shouldn’t score 30 points this week. He would score 50 if he could rush for 100 yards and a TD like Vick, but he’s not going to do that — especially after suffering a concussion because he tried to stretch out a long run.
The hero who helped Vick score 50, DeSean Jackson, also is in line for another huge week. The Vikings are awful and just getting worse. Jackson should be set for 20 points this week, too.
Arian Foster, the League’s No. 1 back who went for 43 points the first time the News Team and Jammers squared off this season, has the perfect matchup this week. He’ll be rushing against the NFL’s worst rush defense in the Broncos, who have given up 25 or mote points to backs in three of the last four weeks, and they’ve allowed more than 150 rushing yards five times this season.
The only problem with all three of these stars is that they’re all dealing with injuries. None of the injuries will prevent them from starting, but News Team will have to worry about them finishing.
My guess is that they will.
