Total Mayhem


Balls Deep vs. Team Tuch
How They Got Here: Balls Deep didn't have their fastball, but they still managed to sneak by the underperforming Da Birds 89-73 thanks to a performance by a trio of Raiders, none of them named Darren McFadden. Filling in for Aaron Rodgers, Jason Campbell led the way with 20 points, while Sebastian Janikowski had 15 and Zach Miller chipped in four. That was enough to make up for disappointing days out of Arian Foster and Reggie Wayne.
Defending champ Team Tuch completely obliterated an Adrian Peterson-less notorious ego, 107-60. Peyton Manning and Austin Collie combined for 43 points, and everyone else on the team except for the Steelers D scored at least seven.
Matchup: As it should be, the two best teams are squaring off for the title. Team Tuch has Peyton Manning in a must-win game against Oakland, which will no doubt lead to 20-plus fantasy points. Jeremy Maclin has been solid no matter the opponent, and LeGarrette Blount should have a monster afternoon against Seattle. Big Mike Williams is finally healthy, and has been nothing but a catch-grabbing stud when he's been in the lineup unhindered. He'll be able to do as he pleases against Tampa Bay. The big question marks rest with Malcom Floyd's balky hamstring, and Peyton Hillis bum knee. Lucky for Team Tuch, they have plenty of bench depth should either suffer a setback before Sunday.
Balls Deep welcomes the return of Aaron Rodgers with open arms. The Giants aren't an easy opponent, but the Packers gunslinger will find a way to post big numbers. Mike Wallace will have an easy go of it against a Carolina team playing for the #1 draft pick, and Reggie Wayne rarely posts back-to-back bad games. Marques Colston has a tasty matchup against Atlanta, but not nearly as delectable as Arian Foster's meeting with the Broncos defeated defensive unity. Ahmad Bradshaw and Zach Miller are merely cherries on top of what looks to be a team primed to win a championship.
PREDICTION: Balls Deep -- Studs + Good Matchups = Championship.
