Week 22 Preview

Stats on predictions
Last week: 4-1-1
Overall: 62-51-7
Upset special: 6-13-1
Mismatch: 11-7-2


Match of the week
Adam (15-5-1) vs. Bob (15-6)
Line: Adam -0.5
Info: This is it, for all the regular-season marbles. The winner gets the division title and a first-round bye. The loser gets the #3 seed and a first-round playoff match. The winner also will have the best regular-season record in league history.
All-time series: Bob 5-2
2010 result: Adam 11-9
Prediction: Adam 10-9

Mismatch of the week
Hal (13-7-1) vs. Ken (8-13)
Line: Hal -5
Info: This is a meaningless matchup in every sense of the word. Hal is locked into the 2 seed. Ken is locked into missing the playoffs and avoiding last place.
All-time series: Ken 1-0
2010 result: Ken 12-4
Prediction: Hal 13-6

Upset of the week
Dave (5-14-2) vs. Joe (10-10-1)
Line: Joe -4
Info: If Joe wins, he's into the playoffs. And, frankly, he should win. But, something in our gut tells us Dave pulls this one out to avoid last place and shock the league.
All-time series: Joe 4-3
2010 result: Dave 17-2
Prediction: Dave 12-8

Rest of the week
Jack (9-11-1) vs. Mike (6-14-1)
Line: Jack -3.5
Info: Jack does not control his own destiny, as he needs help from Dave. A tall order. Surely, if he misses the playoffs, he will look back on the many close losses he's suffered this season (Six by two points or less).
All-time series: Jack 4-3
2010 result: Jack 14-6
Prediction: Jack 13-5

Chris (11-9-1) vs. Rick (8-11-2)
Line: Chris -2.5
Info: This will be Rick's final week with Albert Pujols. How sad. Chris is back in the playoffs after losing to Rick in the final week last season. If Rick beats him here, it could drop Chris down to the 6 seed.
All-time series: Rick 5-2
2010 result: Chris 11-7
Prediction: Rick 10-8

Andy (12-9) vs. Shea (8-11-2)
Line: Andy -5
Info: Shea, winner of two draft lotteries, will be back in that mix again. Imagine if he gets the #1 pick again? Andy is in the playoffs and can be no higher than the 4 seed and no lower than the #5 seed. This week is basically irrelevant.
All-time series: Shea 4-3
2010 result: Andy 14-3
Prediction: Andy 12-8
