Tough year for the bankers as EA Mikus and Grossi are winless.   Two of them face off in this epic match up…sorry darn autocorrect, that “epic” should have been “shitty”, Siri is very anti-cursing.  In any event, one team will get off the schnide here and that team should be EA.  Why…well it’s certainly not because of the solid waiver and free agent moves he’s made (same lineup three straight weeks…if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?!)  Let’s find out how he pulls this off.

 

QB Big Ben vs Brady: 

Brady at Baltimore sans Aaron Hernandez…nuff said.  Big Ben at arguably the worst team in football the Raiders of Oakland…yeah I like EA’s chances here. Edge EA

 

RB McFadden/CJ2K/DonaldBrown vs Murray/Charles/Ingram

If there was a roster slot for underperforming first round draft picks, EA would have a couple options.  He’s going to give CJ one more shot and if he can’t gain more than, let’s say 30 yards, he’s cut.  That’s right…cut, removed from the  team, thrown to the free agent pool to be snapped up by someone willing to waste budget dollars on pure garbage.   Mikus has solid backs, I can’t see him not taking this part of the matchup down by a fair margin Edge Mikus

 

WR Bryant/Harvin/VinceJackson vs Jennings/SJohnson/Bowe

Dez Bryant…ugh….all I have to say.  Edge EA

 

TE-  Vernon Davis vs Jermain Gresham

Listen Mikus, just because your tight end’s name sounds similar to Jimmy Graham, doesn’t mean he is Jimmy Graham.  Davis has been one of the lone bright spots on EA’s roster, leading some to believe that there was an actual “value” draft pick made by EA, first since 2006 when Michael Clayton was snatched in the 10th round! Go ahead luck it up I dare you, it happened…Edge EA

 

K/DEF NE/Bailey vs Gould/Green Bay

Dan Bailey, after a 1 point performance in week 2, looks to rebound in week 3 and as we all know, it’s totally in the kickers ability to control how many FGs he kicks…oh wait.  Edge Good as Gould = Mikus

 

Mikus, a historically slow starter but in fantasy football and in the bedroom, moves to 0-3 which is exactly where he wants to be.   EA salvages a win somehow and his playoff chances are still alive.  EA 123.4 to 92,3.Sorry Mikus, at least your pain meds will help you sleep after this epic beatdown…sorry again, I meant “make believe” beat down…
