Big House

With just three games left in the regular season, it's a regular cluster-muck atop the standings in the Big House League. Lights Out sits at 7-3 with a one game lead in the standings. They're followed by four teams at 6-4, one team at 5-5, and two teams at 4-6. Basically, eight of the ten teams are within three games of each other with three weeks left. Should be an exciting finish. Let's take a look at the Week 11 matchups and give out some predictions:
Ron Mexico's Pit Bulls (6-4) vs. PainCurve (6-4)
A pair of 6-4 teams with championship aspirations, RMPB and PainCurve should provide plenty of fireworkds this week. Led by high-scorers Mike Vick and Maurice Jones-Drew, PainCurve has to hope Cedric Benson and Anquan Blodin can pick up the slack. Other than Frank Gore, RMPB doesn't have a standout stud, but their roster is very balanced, with few holes to speak of.
Winner: Ron Mexico
Paydirt (3-7) vs. Lights Out (7-3)
The league's best team takes on the league's worst team in the least impactful game of Week 11. Paydirt is far from incapable of shocking the Big House, as the Peyton Manning/Reggie Wayne combo should be back to its usual self, and LaDainian Tomlinson has a great matchup against Houston. It'll be tough to outpoint Roddy White, Chris Johnson, Calvin Johnson and the rest of Lights Out, but not impossible.
Winner: Paydirt
Ben Riback  (6-4) vs. Boom Goes the Dynamite (3-7)
Dynamite has struggled all year long, as their 3-7 record indicates, but the horses are still there to put up monster point totals. Drew Brees and Peyton Hillis both face tasty matchups, as do Braylon Edwards and Vernon Davis. For Riback, they've relied heavily on Aaron Rodgers and the receivers (Andre Johnson, Brandon Lloyd and Percy Harvin), but it'll be the RBs (Rashard Mendenhall and Fred Jackson) who need to step up to hold off Dynamite.
Winner: Dynamite
THE SHOCKER (6-4) vs. Buttercup (4-6)
In a game of utmost importance, THE SHOCKER got 12 points from Bears on Thursday night, but only four from Brandon Marshall, giving them a 16-point advantage heading into Sunday. Foster, Peterson and Fitzgerald should post their usual outstanding efforts, but Matt Schaub will have to overcome lots of adversity to put up useable stats. Buttercup needs Tom Brady and Jamaal Charles to have monster games to stay in contention, and both look poised to do so.
Winner: Buttercup
