BDT -
The German Philosophers are averaging 114.9 thru 14 active contests. Wheeling and dealing aside Heidegger's boys live and die by their twin b34st backs, Foster and Rice. While Foster has been money all year, Rice's low-ball is a bit concerning coming off his hip pointer. Full b34st here requires both of them to go off. The other side of BDT's monster titration is the three headed Cowboy gamble. With the playoffs on the line Romo, Bryant and Witten will host Nawlins in Big D. With the Boys December track record some cold feet would be understandable here, especially considering the Saints shutout of Tampa. Romo & Co. certainly owe reparations for previous failures, but whether BDT can collect is another matter. Dez has caught a TD pass in each of the last five games, if he takes one to the house in week 16 BDT may collect their first championship. Garcon's a huge variable at WR2 - the chemistry he had with RG3 was undeniable, even with the downgrade he's probably still a safe play with Cousins (or a gamey RG3) just a little less dynamic.
HSNB -
The Bloodz are averaging 117.3 thru 15 matches. Peyton's conservative turn has been giving the Bloodz fits in recent weeks, but he hasn't kept them out of the title game. The Cylcotron will likewise have two clusters of team titrations. First the Bloodz carry the elite pieces of the Chicago offense in Marshall in Forte. They'll get Arizona in week 16. Badly in need of a win and minus vulture-extraordinaire Bush, expectations for the Bears duo could scarcely be higher. . If Arizona proves as porous as they have been lately HSNB could resemble a b34stiary. The Tampa three (2WR/1K) balances the other half. A dismal week against the Saints kept VJax, Williams and Barth under 10 combined. No doubt, they'll bounce back vs. St. Louis in week 16, but those three need to be north of 30 to maximize platelet saturation here. CJ?K and Hernandez (aka Gronk's squire) are probably not names that were popular candidates for championship difference makers in August. But Hernandez is finding the endzone regularly and Tennesee's entire offense is CJ, both could be a shot in the arm.
Hedges - the Bloodz' CJ?K will go against Green Bay's D for BDT. Johnson has been slowing, outside of a 90 yard TD run last week, he's been rather pedestrian over the last three weeks. If Green Bay can take him off the table, Tennessee could be a dream championship match for the Philosophers. However, if CJ can keep the Titans close enough to keep running, it could be a long day at Lambeau.
Bench - BDT has a variety of WR3 wideout help from the feast or famine (James Jones, Gordon), to possession receivers (Hartline). As bad as Detroit's D faired last week, there's no way they make it in here. HSNB is somewhat leaner outside the starting line-up. Powell and Stephen's Howling are split time RBs in weak offenses. Boldin is a feast or famine WR with a good match-up, not a terrible play, but the zero last week would make all but the boldest shy away.
Motivation - The Cowboys are in the thick of a wildcard and division battle, against a weak New Orleans defense and powerful offense, they should have plenty of chances and reasons to take them. Houston wants that homefield advantage and that's about the only thing keeping them running Arian out there. Baltimore needs to clinch the division, but if they could do that without wearing Rice down they might. Peyton is still chasing the top seed. And the Bears are desperate to stave off elimination. If anyone, Tampa might be suspect - they got walloped in New Orleans last weekend and are well out of it - plus St. Louis has a snappy pass defense. Out of it as well, the Jets D is a decent play against an inconsistent San Diego, but with an awful offense and toxic clubhouse, it's not hard to imagine them as a bust.
