Lethal Weapons at Dancing Bears

How They Got Here: The Bears danced a very fine line in the semifinals against the Executioners. After getting a big fat goose egg from Terrell Owens, the DB's were trailing by six heading into the Sunday Night game with only Greg Jennings left to play. Despite playing with a backup QB, Jennings hauled in a touchdown and finished with nine points, giving the Dancing Bears a three point victory and a date in the championship with ...

Lethal Weapons, who stomped on Client 9 by a score of 94-69 in the semis. Jon Kitna led the way with 26, but everyone chipped in something positive. Well, everyone except Bo Scaife.

Matchup: Kitna should again have a strong game against Arizona's leaky pass defense, and Mojo is due for a bounce back. Roddy White is always studly, and Kenny Britt looked fully healthy last in posting a 100-yard game -- I bet he scores this week against KC. Jimmy Graham is the new Antonio Gates, no doubt it, and the matchup with Atlanta is friendly. The big QUESTION is, what's the deal with Peyton Hillis' knee? He hasn't been good of late, and it appears he's dealing with a knee injury. The matchups not great either, with Baltimore coming to town, but the only other option is Mike Tolbert. It'll be interesting to see if Coach Drossner will swap out one bowling ball for another.

The Dancing Bears may not have quite the upside of Lethal Weapons, they are more consistent and balanced. Matt Ryan can pretty much be counted on for at least 15 points, and he'll reach that mark against a Saints secondary that isn't as good as the numbers indicate. Chris Johnson is line for a heavy dose of work against the Chiefs, as is LeSean McCoy against whatever remains of the Minnesota Vikings. Jason Witten is the hands down #1 TE in the game right now, and Greg Jennings gets his QB back, so both should produce elite numbers.

PREDICTION: Dancing Bears -- With Hillis banged up, the Chris Johnson/LeSean McCoy will be too much to contend with.
