Week 12 Preview

Stats on predictions:
Last week: 4-2
Overall: 32-32-2
Upset special: 4-6-1
Mismatch: 6-5


Match of the week
Hal (7-4) vs. Bob (7-4)
Line: Hal -1
Info: It's important for teams who are 0-1 in the season series to win that second game because of Yahoo!'s new playoff tiebreaker rules. This year, the first tiebreaker in a playoff match is winning percentage vs. that opponent in the regular season.
2010 result: Hal 16-3
All-time series: Hal 1-0
Prediction: Bob 11-8

Mismatch of the week
Chris (6-4-1) vs. Jack (3-7-1)
Line: Chris -3
Info: Jack rarely gets blown out, so expect a close match. Chris is coming off a blowout loss, himself, though and I would expect a strong rebound week from the Bombers.
2010 result: Chris 10-8
All-time series: Chris 4-2-1
Prediction: Chris 12-9

Upset special of the week
Adam (7-4) vs. Ken (5-6)
Line: Adam -2.5
Info: Ken seems on a mission to get back to .500 after that brutal start. Led by Billy Butler, his team has been clicking. That's not to say Adam's hasn't, either, though.
2010 result: Adam 10-8
All-time series: Ken 5-1-1
Prediction: Ken 10-8

Rest of the week
Shea (5-5-1) vs. Dave (4-6-1)
Line: Shea -2
Info: An important week for Dave. This would bring him right back into the thick of the playoff race. But, in the past, every time he's gotten close, he's faded.
2010 result: Shea 11-8
All-time series: Shea 6-1
Prediction: Shea 12-7

Rick (4-7) vs. Mike (3-8)
Line: Rick -1.5
Info: Mike is the one team that Rick seems to have trouble with every single year. That has been the case again this year. Hard to predict Mike to win, given how bad his team is, though.
2010 result: Mike 10-8
All-time series: Mike 6-1
Prediction: Rick 11-7

Andy (8-3) vs. Joe (5-6)
Line: Andy -3
Info: Joe has lose two in a row and four out of six. Andy has won six of eight. Joe has way more to gain from a win than Andy would, but his team has been so bad lately, it's hard to envision.
2010 result: Andy 10-8
All-time series: Joe 4-3
Prediction: Andy 13-7
