Fall Classic 2011

Texas Rangers

vs. 

St. Louis Cardinals

Rangers taste victory at home after falling to "Giants" of last years fall classic. This would be an even greater feat that they not only won the world series after losing in the prior year, but that they were able to do it after the loss of their ace Cliff Lee to the Philadelphia Phillies in the off season in free agency. Acquisitions of Mike Napoli from Toronto (who received him in the Vernon Wells deal from Anaheim) which the Jays got Frank Francisco in return.  Napoli has done nothing to disappoint the Rangers hitting .32o, 30 HRs, 75 RBIs, 369 ABs, while handling the young texas staff. Adrian Beltre in free-agency after another monster "Contract-Career Year" in Boston, landed softly in Arlington continuing to rake at .296 clip with 32 Dingers and 105 RBIs.

Rangers have too many threats in this line-up to be held down by a lackluster pitching staff after Carpenter in games one and four. 

Predictions for the Series:

Rangers win at home in Arlington

in 5 Games

World Series 

Most Valuable Player

7 Hits, 3 Home Runs, 8 RBI's, 5 Runs Scored

Aaron Rodgers @ Minnesota

Jay Cutler against the Minnesota Vikings was able to put up a solid option on Sunday night. Which can only mean ARod might throw together his career performance. It's going to entitle the Superbowl MVP adding Regular Season MVP after this week, with Brady and Vick on byes. This is going to put MVP into stone.

Prediction: 422yards 3 passing touchdowns, 17 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown

Who Dat Nation

Drew Brees v. Indianapolis

 At home in front of Who Dat Nation, Brees and the Saints rebound BIG this week against the team they won the championship against minus Manning. He's going to get back to spreading the ball around to his speedsters. Lance Moore becomes more productive this week 6 catches 87 yards and a score while the zero to twenty fantasy point plays of Henderson or Meachem will be the 20 point play while one will be the 0 point play. 

Prediction: 387 passing yards, 4 passing touchdowns, 1 int

Clay Mathews won't be the only one flexing his muscles this weekend

Ray Rice @ Jacksonville

With a good amount of the top rb options in tough match-ups week 7. Rice with thrive against the Jags on Monday Night Football, giving Gruden a pants tent with "This Guy's Big Day'

Prediction: 131 yards rushing, 45 receiving yards, 2 total touchdowns

Spreading the Red Birds D

Mike Wallace @ Arizona

 The speedster goes off this week coming off a tough passing week for the Steelers, the Cards will try and keep Mendenhall held to under 100 yards will give Rapelisberger the opportunity to go right at the rookie Patrick Peterson.

Prediction: 131 Receiving yards, 2 touchdowns, 14 yards rushing

Give me some love

Dwayne Bowe @ Oakland

His first opportunity post Namdi Asmugh era against the Raiders is going to leave Bowe with a cup cake matchup vs the Oakland secondary. Bowe will be KC's main man the rest of the season, they're always going to be trailing and who's better to just chuck it up to other than Calvin. 

Prediction: 162 yard receiving, 3 Tds  crazy? nope! 

CJ No K

Chris Johnson v. Houston

If CJ2K even wants to make it to CJ1K this is going to have to kick it up after a slow start to the season for this speedster he's going have to get by the Texans revamped D.

Prediction: 104 rushing yards, 37 receiving yards, 1 TD

I hate Him but Love him this week

Steven Jackson @ Dallas

Sam Bradford suffered a high ankle sprain and wasn't to productive in the loss vs. the Packers might miss this week, and with the addition of Brandon Lloyd  attention might be shifted. Sjax is going to be needed to prevent the Rams from becoming (0-6). 

Prediction: 121 rushing yards, 42 receiving yards, 2 TD's
