I have been three for three the last two weeks, and I am going to try to continue the good run with these three selections.
1) Indianapolis -3.5 vs. Cleveland. The Browns lost Brady Quinn to a season-ending injury, and with the distractions of a QB controversy, Cleveland will not be on their game. Oh yeah, the Colts may be the hottest team in football right now and plowing the playoffs again.
2) Miami -8 vs. St. Louis. The Dolphins are the surprise team of the year. They are playing great and trying to stay in the AFC East title run as well. The Rams are very bad at every part of the game, look for the Dolphins to keep up with the pace in the AFC.
3) Oakland -3 vs. Kansas City. The Raiders are playing well and getting McFadden back will improve the team balance. They are not a top or even middle tier team, but I think at home will beat the Chiefs handily.
Good luck and mark them down!

Week 13 Starters/Sitters
As the fantasy regular season nears the end and the playoffs begin, the starts and sits of your normal line up is crucial. The playoffs is when the match ups determine the line up, with the exception of maybe ten players league wise who should never sit. This is my five start/sits for the upcoming weekend.
Starts
1) Joe Flacco - vs. Cincinnati. Joe is looking better each week and the Bengals are just plain terrible. Their pass defense is one of the leagues worst and Baltimore is in the hunt to win the division and/or wildcard in the AFC. I think Flacco plays very good this week.
2) Darren McFadden - vs. Kansas City. DMC ran the ball well last week and with the Chiefs coming to Oakland, I see him going for 100 yards and two TD's.
3) Amani Toomer - vs. Washington. With Burress missing a second consecutive and possibly out for the season, Toomer will be the go to receiver for the Giants.
4) Warrick Dunn vs. New Orleans. Graham is out for the year and Dunn will be the option in the backfield. He is also a great receiver out of the back field.
5) Ted Ginn Jr. vs. St. Louis. Rams give up more points and big plays than any other team this year. I can see Ginn making a long touch down catch and returning a punt all the way.
Sitters
1) Chad Johnson vs. Baltimore. Chad missed last game with issues within the team and will play this week. I think against the Raven defense and missing last week, bench him.
2) Braylon Edwards vs. Indianapolis. Derek Anderson will back behind center this week, and I think that will be a distraction again and production will suffer.
3) Jason Campbell vs. NY Giants. The defense will sack, pressure and intercept Campbell all day Sunday. I think he will have a fumble and an interception Sunday.
4) Randy Moss vs. Pittsburgh. Moss had three touchdowns last Sunday and the Steelers excellent defensive back field will eliminate his touches. I think Cassel and company's high power offense will be cooled down this week.
5) Deuce McAllister vs. Tampa Bay. Big defensive unit will hold the rush to less than 75 yards and the Saints pass 65% of time anyway. Deuce will also loose touches if Reggie Bush returns as suspected.

Terrell Owens (Week 12 Player of the Week)
T.O. had 7 catches for 213 yards and 1 touchdown. As much as I think Michael Turner had a better game, Owens has played so bad this year compared to last, that his game is what has stuck out for me. Therefore, Owens, you the man!
Cumberland Football League Week 12 Update
Look slike Craig has some company at the the top! Team Jason's took control of the lead and made a three way tie for the best record. Two weeks remain in the regular season and three teams out of the six spots have clinched. Jason, Craig, and Jason are in with a win this week giving Danny a spot for sure. He looks like he is trying to squeeze into the playoffs and make a deep run like last year. A win this would go a long way in getting Micah into the playoffs. The rest of the field is playing catch up and has to win out to make the post season. Also, Dusty and Darren are planning for next year after losing last week.

Week 12 Recap
ok, I will start with my start/sits from last week. I think I did pretty good with the starters. Romo, McFadden, and Addai all had really good games. My sitters did not look so good, I missed on a couple, but got Brian Westbrook right, so give me some credit.
My locks were again 3-3, so that puts me eight out of the last nine correct! That is good in Vegas! I may have to lay some bigger wagers down?
Well first off, my Titans did not play very good Sunday, actually looking very bad. I think though, they will bounce back with a big win on Thanksgiving vs. Detroit, and at 11-1 still be a front runner in the playoffs. Coach Fisher knows how to prepare players and teams, this should pay big dividends during the playoffs.
Thanksgiving games will be good to watch as all football games are, but I don't think close games are what we will see. This is not my locks, but I predict Tennessee to win easily vs. Detroit, Dallas to win big vs. Seattle, and Arizona to bounce back from the loss to the Giants, and beat Philly. I do think that game will be closer than the others.

Week 12 LOCKS!
I went 3-3 last week getting all games correct, so mark these down and place your wagers.
1) Indianapolis + 2.5 vs. San Diego - First off how can the chargers be a favorite in this game? Anyway, the Colts are syncing together and playing to regain the dominance. San Diego is going downhill and will again lose this week.
2) Oakland +9 vs. Denver - Oakland has played close games all year against better teams. Denver defense is not good, so I think Oakland will cover the nine points.
3) New England +1 vs. Miami - Bill will not be surprised by the wildcat formation this time and will do anything to avenge the first loss to the dolphins. I think the Patriots will easily this time and will definitely cover.
Lock them!

Week 12 Start/Sits
Starters
1) Tony Romo - After missing several games with an injury, I think Romo goes back to full speed against the 49ers. They are in a slump, gave up a lot of fantasy points to Kurt Warner, and I expect Tony to do the same.
2) Bernard Berrian - Jacksonville gives up everything on the pass and Tennessee took advantage of that last week. I think the Vikings play great and Berrian scores 10+
3) Antonio Bryant - Tampa will beat Detroit in the air, and Bryant will have a big game against the same team everyone plays big against.
4) Darren McFadden - If he makes it back this week at full speed like reports are saying, he will make a big difference in a huge rivalry game against a Denver defense who has given up anything and everything this year.
5) Joseph Addai - He finally look like a first round fantasy pick last week and playing the chargers this week should make him another fantasy must start.
Sitters
1) Brian Westbrook - I think he has been playing injured the last few weeks and will probably still play Sunday, but the Ravens have a tough defense and will limit his scoring opportunity.
2) Thomas Jones - I think the Titan defense will slow down Jones, and I think Tennessee will be ahead in this game forcing Brett to throw the ball later in the game.
3) Fred Taylor - Jones-Drew is getting most of the carries in the red zone and Minnesota has one of the best rush defenses. Sit Freddy
4) Calvin Johnson - Normally I would never sit my stud, but Detroit's passing offense is terrible along with the whole team and Tampa has an excellent defense.
5) Tim Hightower, JJ Arrington, and Edgerrin James - NY Giants defense will stop the run, Arizona will go to the pass first, pass second, and the pass 80% on third type offense.
