Bro...
The lowest scoring fantasy weekend of the season featured some horrific refereeing, the ending of Baltimore's 2015 season and about 80% of fantasy studs disappearing into the background, creating havoc for many team owners. Despite the valiant return of the Denver receiving corps and Green Bay's offense, Thee Wisconsin Chowhounds dropped a fifth straight loss to Nick's Mopey Team of Sadness and after starting 6-0, Aschebrook Sr. is in dire need of a win in order to just make the playoffs. Team Moon won his sixth consecutive match and now, the Sneen Machine is behind Thee Chowhounds due to the points-for tiebreaker. One upset occurred as Team Silka's best offense was playing defense as Tom Brady put up a respectable 13 points for Spider 2 Y Banana but, his favorite target on Monday Night Football was Danny Amendola, who put up 20 points before suffering the inevitable Amendola injury and Silka beat the odds and the Banana (nobody knows what it means but, it's provocative) by a measly four points. Alec predictably destroyed now 1-10 Team Tiffany as Josh knew his team was awful, did just enough to get that one win and never fixed his lineup again. In the game of the week, Cole led Scott by 3 points headed into the boring Buffalo-New England game and thanks to LeSean McCoy's touchdown run and multiple dump-offs, Cole ended Scott's season with a 101-90 win and survived an okay night from Brandon LaFell (10 points) and the way-too-common disappointment of just six points from Sammy Watkins.
Thursday Night Football was a sign of things to come from Week 11 as Blake Bortles and Allen Hurns were brutally disappointing after pretty much dominating the entire season on people's benches. Tony Romo returned and now the Dallas Greg Hardys are mediocre enough to compete in the NFC East at 3-7. Baltimore lost RB Justin Forsett to a broken arm and QB Joe Flacco to a surprisingly Torn ACL and are now the weakest Raven team possibly in franchise history. Brock Osweiler looked solid and we won't have to worry about worthless bum Peyton Manning ever again (unless you also mute his Nationwide commercials). Matt Ryan looks very average with a washed up Roddy White giving him no help and having Julio Jones as his only serious receiving threat after a 3-point loss to the Matt Hasselbeck-led Colts. The Panthers and Patriots are still undefeated and have reached double-digit wins. Kansas City annihilated the Chargers as Philip Rivers & company appear to be trying to get LA the number one pick to go along with their new team. The Packers' offense looked shaky again but, it appears Eddie Lacy is back and their defense can show up against playoff teams, they just sometimes decide not to and the Bengals prime-time woes continued in a last-minute loss to 8-2 Arizona.

| Who will get to eat turkey on Thursday Night Football? Hopefully, not Eddie Lacy. |
Get ready to set your lineups early because this Thursday is Thanksgiving and that means there are three football games! Players you will be thankful for this Thursday may or may not include DeMarco Murray, Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, Cam Newton, Aaron Rodgers, Randall Cobb and Matt Forte. One thing we are all certainly thankful for is the end of bye weeks FINALLY. Even with the byes out of the way, Sunday's football slate still only features two 3:00 games with the main course being Pittsburgh at Seattle (HUGE game for Seattle, big game for the Steelers). Sunday Night Football will be the most-hyped game of the week between the Denver Broncos and their awesome defense and the Patriots and their Tom Brady-led offense (which by default, is awesome). Monday Night Football features Matt Schaub, Javorius Allen, Kamar Aiken, Crockett Gilmore, Josh McCown, Travis Benjamin and Gary Barnidge in a game we will all ignore thanks to Mike Pettine's decision to bench Johnny Manziel and basically get himself fired at the end of the year. My barely 1st place Spider 2 Y Banana faces Nick and his depressed team in an important battle of the 7-4's. The strangest part of this match-up is that the Quarterbacking battle will be between real-life opponents Derek Carr & Marcus Mariota with most of our match-up being decided by the Oakland-Tennessee game. Team Tiffany will hand-feed another win to Team Silka and Scott will at least look to upset Sneen and play spoiler to the Machine's entire season. Cole and Alec will try to start the right Quarterbacks this week as they fight over playoff seeding and Thee Wisconsin Chowhounds look to end a five-game losing streak against Team Moon and his six-game winning streak. Good luck to all and may your Thanksgiving's involve more food than mine as I will strictly be watching football on Thursday and... I don't know, getting a sub or something? Either way, it will be more enjoyable than it was sitting in the stands during that Badgers-Northwestern game!
