Power Rankings: Week 11

POWER RANKNING
Week 11
1 Optimus Prime (9-2)
Prime takes home another victory and looks like this is the team to beat going forward this season. Its funny to think about, but at the beginning of this season this team was looking at Drew Brees (290.65) as their top performer week in and week out. However, with the Saints being a big question mark week in and week out and the Cardinals tearing it up on a weekly basis, it looks as if Anquan Boldin (197.70) was the steal of the season.
Last Week's Key Performer: Anquan Boldin 37.40

2 The Champs AGAIN (8-3)
Just as predicted last week at this time, Scott is moving closer and closer to the top of the standings and is certainly a threat to take down Prime in the playoffs and start ushering in Beer and Football’s first dynasty.
Last Week's Key Performer: DeAngelo Williams 27.00

3 River Rats (8-3)
A dismal performance against a team that should have been a walk in the park is raising some serious questions about this team going into playoff time. The Rats have picked a horrible time of year to flounder with the playoffs only two weeks away, could this be the “choke heard round the world” or will we see this team return to form in the closing weeks. The biggest hurdle that this team faces is that a lot of the players that have been relied on all season to have amazing games are playing well above their actual level. To sum this all up, if I had stock in this team, I would be selling. ALL OF IT!!! And please can we move BenJarvus Green-Ellis (55.90) out of the line-up.
Last Week's Key Performer: Matt Forte 13.40

4 Afternoon Sex Break (6-5)
Big win this week for the Break as they annihilated the River Rats by almost 70 points. This team is riding a 4 game win streak that has helped catapult this team for the bottom of the barrel to a team that may be able to do some damage in the playoffs and for certain if Brandon Jacobs (178.50) and Braylon Edwards (114.10) keep going the way they have been the past couple weeks, you could be looking at a threat to be in the “Big Kegger” at the end of the season. Next week however is the biggest test of the season, as The Sex will take on Prime in what should be a nail biter.
Last Week's Key Performer: Aaron Rodgers 21.45

5 MotorBoatin Son of a (7-4)
Won again this week and did not move up the rankings. Milton’s squad has become one of the more constant in the league. Well, will Kurt Warner (292.70) putting up numbers resembling his days with the “Greatest Show on Turf”, you can not bet against Milton in the playoffs.
Last Week's Key Performer: Joseph Addai 32.30

6 McHurtingbyInjuries (6-5)
T.J. House-yo-mama (151.00) finally breaks out and has a huge game this week. However, playing Derek’s Dream Team, you are going to need to put up more than 120.90 points to win. Anytime you put up numbers like that and lose, it sucks. Take the loss with a grain of salt, because this team is good and they will be in the playoffs, especially with the magic number now being down to one game.
Last Week's Key Performer: T.J. Houshmandzadeh 33.90


7 JacksSmirkingRevenge (6-5)
Well, let me be the first to say that the trade, as of yet, has worked out in Brandon’s favor as he squared up with Clint’s team in Week 11 and took home the “W”. I will be the first to admit that I was wrong thinking that this team was going to miss the playoffs especially with the magic number for this team now down to one game, however, I still hold by my prediction that this team is going down quick and Brandon will be wishing he still had Thomas Jones (192.30) when it is all said and done.
Last Week's Key Performer: Steve Slaton 33.60

8 Ur My Boy Blue! (4-7)
This is what we have all been waiting for, Beer and Football’s version of the wildcard race. Three teams, two games left and one spot open. Best of all is that they all play each other in the last two weeks. Unfortunately, it’s my prediction that the Jew and his band of misfits will certainly be receiving some ping-pong balls in next year’s draft. This squad is defiantly the weakest of the three and I predict a 4-9 final record.
Last Week's Key Performer: Larry Fitzgerald 32.10

9 Irish (4-7)
Its tough to score 130+ points and lose, but that is the way it was for a lot of teams this week. I do however, think that the Irish are going to be in the playoffs this season riding the solid play of Thomas Jones (192.30) and Marshawn Lynch (152.30) down the stretch. This is my pick to make the playoffs in that three-way dance.
Last Week's Key Performer: Marshawn Lynch 31.70

10 Team Ramrod (2-9)
Yes, you read that right! The rankings were calculated and I was quite surprised myself to see this team almost breaking into the top 10. However, I think it is time to give credit where it is due! This team is not a push over, despite what their record says. And as I said last week, it really makes you wonder what could have happened if Tom Brady hadn’t gone down in the first game.
Last Week's Key Performer: Ryan Grant 28.60

11 I Heart Porn (4-7)
I think that the computer is a little harsh on CJ, but he is riding a 4 game losing streak that has seen I Heart Porn fall from a playoff definite to a playoff maybe. Let’s be honest the acquisition of Farve (193.35) should have elevated this team, but with guys like Lee Evans (121.70) dropping the ball, you can’t really consider this team as a playoff contender. With all that said, the ball is still in CJ’s court as two strong weeks will get him in the playoffs, however, if they do make it in, I can not see them as any more than a “one and done”.
Last Week's Key Performer: Brett Farve 25.00

12 jew crew enemy (2-9)
Let it be proclaimed from every rooftop! THIS TEAM SUCKS! We have a new basement dweller ladies and gentlemen and this team is not leaving in the near future. With games coming up against Mike (River Rats) and Prime, 2-11 is certainly in this teams future.
Last Week's Key Performer: Greg Jennings 14.90
