Game of the week! (w4)





                                   My Team -                     VS.              FormerlyKnownAsFavre

     Its the battle of undefeateds as the top ranked Favre will take on a My Team - team who has been equally impressive through 3 weeks.  Favre appears to be the heavy favorite here and ESPN has Favre favored by 40.  Individually, Team Favre is favored to win all 9 of the starting positions.  Its the top Hawkeye vs. the top Cyclone in our Game of the Week.

QB- Favre will go with his workhorse here in RGIII against Tampa and he's favored for 22.  Griffin will have an off game eventually, but only time will tell if this is the one.  My Team - appears to be going with Tony Romo who has a tough matchup as the Bears come to town.  Romo and the cowboys are talented enough to put up big numbers but should be limited Sunday against Chicago.
Advantage: FormerlyKnownAsFavre

RB- Arian Foster will do his usual damage.  Alfred Morris as Favre's number 2 back is an interesting one.  Morris has been nothing special but extremely serviceable through the early season.  Steven Ridley has slowed since a big game in week 1.  Willis McGahee should play this weekend, but is still dealing with a rib injury that limited him in week 3.  Favre should have no problem gaining ground in the RB position
Advantage: FormerlyKnownAsFavre

WR- All 6 wide receivers starting in this matchup are talented, above-average starters for a 12 team league.  I don't know what ESPN is thinking with minus' guys though predicting less than 30 points for the 3 combined.  Nelson, Jackson and Harvin all have salivating matchups here and I given them a slight edge over Favre's big 3.
Advantage: My Team -

TE- The man, the myth, the legend and the team Captain of My Team -, Mr. Tony Gonzalez goes up against the former hawkeye Scott Chandler.  The only competition Chandler could win here is a height contest and the hall of famer Gonzalez has proven he could run circles around Nate's little brother.
Advantage: FormerlyKnownAsFavre

K/DEF- The top two kickers in the league will matchup here in Hanson and Gostkowski.  Both defenses are poised to have a solid day as well.  This one is an honest coin flip.
Advantage: PUSH

Final Thoughts:  Favre is not the heavy favorite that ESPN makes them out to be, but he does have the distinct advantage.
TEAM FAVRE WINS BY 10+
