3YKffl

With many owners in standard leagues in panic mode as the end of the regular season rapidly approaches, members of the 3 Year Keeper League still have seven weeks to make up ground. If the season were to end today, Howitch and Steele would own the top two spots in the playoffs, with Chaiken and Fienberg rounding out the field. Meyers and Goldstone are both hanging around a few games back, and while Berman and Freedman bring up the rear, they've yet to be mathematically eliminated.
Week 11 Predictions:
Fienberg (6-4) vs. Berman (3-7)
Berman desperately needs a victory to stay in contention for the playoffs, while Fienberg is looking to overtake Horwitch and Chaiken for the top spot in the NFC. Despite the disparity in records, Berman actually has a great shot to pull the upset. Jamaal Charles and Ray Rice have excellent matchups, and Josh Freeman should be able to post decent numbers against San Fran. Fienberg, on the other hand, is re-inserting Reggie Bush, and his top wideout, Andre Johnson, draws a very unfavorable matchup with Darrelle Revis.
Winner: Berman

Freedman (2-8) vs. Steele (7-3)
The best meets the worst in this Week 11 tilt. Freedman can't afford anymore losses, which means they'll have to put up a monster week to keep pace with Steele's studs. Unfortunately, that may not be possible with Darren McFadden drawing Pittsburgh, and Kyle Orton facing San Diego's tough pass defense.
Winner: Steele

Meyers (5-5) vs. Horwitch (6-4)
Meyers is only one game behind Horwitch for the final playoff spot, and they got a nice head start when the Bears D/ST put up 10 points on Thursday night. If the Vikings/Packers matchup produces big totals on the ground -- Meyers has both Adrian Peterson and Brandon Jackson -- they may be able to keep pace with the Michael Vick/Chris Johnson/Peyton Hillis juggernaut that Horwitch sports. Maybe.
Winner: Horwitch

Chaiken (6-4) vs. Goldstone (6-4)
Chaiken has a precarious hold on a playoff spot, while Goldstone is hanging around the fringe, ready to either become a contender, or an also-ran. Maurice Jones-Drew seems to have gotten his Mojo back, and Randy Moss is due for a breakout, both good signs for Goldstone. Chaiken needs Peyton Manning to return to form and for Dwayne Bowe and Mike "Hawk" Williams need to repeat their Week 10 performances.
Winner: Goldstone
