Week 15 Preview

Last week: 4-2
Overall: 45-31-2
Mismatch: 7-6
Upset special: 4-7


Match of the Week
Jack (8-5-1) vs. Ken (8-6)
Line: Jack -2
Info: Two playoff teams hanging on, especially Ken, who has incredibly lost four straight after starting out 8-2. Jack is coming off an easy win over Rick and will look to avenge a blowout Week 5 loss to Ken.
All-time series: Jack 5-4
2011 result: Ken 14-3
Prediction: Jack 11-8

Mismatch of the Week
Mike (9-4-1) vs. Rick (1-11-2)
Line: Mike -6
Info: The No. 1-ranked team vs the No. 12-ranked team. Even in spite of their early season tie, it doesn't get much more of a mismatch than this, really. If Mike loses, I feel safe calling this the biggest upset in the history of the league.
All-time series: Mike 6-2-1
2011 result: Tied 9-9
Prediction: Mike 15-5

Upset of the Week
Shea (7-7) vs. Joe (9-4-1)
Line: Joe -2.5
Info: Joe is on vacation this week, so we think he might not pay that much attention. That should even the playing field between him and Shea, so we're going with the underdog here.
All-time series: Joe 6-3
2011 result: Shea 11-8
Prediction: Shea 10-9

Rest of the Week
Adam (7-7) vs. Andy (4-10)
Line: Adam -4.5
Info: We've detailed this matchup already here on the blog, and it's safe to say Adam wants this as bad as he does any other week this season.
All-time series: Andy 5-4
2011 result: Adam 10-7
Prediction: Adam 14-6

Hal (6-8) vs. Bob (9-5)
Line: Bob -3
Info: Hal kept his slim playoff hopes alive last week, but could see them die for good with a loss this week. And Bob might get James Shields on Sunday yet again - this time the last game of the week, too.
All-time series: Hal 2-1
2011 result: Bob 10-9
Prediction: Bob 11-7

Chris (8-6) vs. Dave (5-8-1)
Line: Chris -2
Info: Chris just went off on his players after a terrible performance in a winnable week against Mike, so we're interested to see how they respond. And Dave is no walk in the park, either. I'm hoping for fireworks.
All-time series: Chris 6-3
2011 result: Chris 11-8
Prediction: Dave 11-8
