ASK THE EXPERT QUESTION: Make a prediction for the MIN-GB game.

The remains of Hurricane Neki linger long enough to bring precipitation to Lambeau field. Game time temperatures hover in the high 30’s and snow flurries make this perfect fall football weather for a great match up. Brett Favre is cheered by 45% of the fans; jeered by 45% and 10% will just be there for the moment. Minnesota will try to establish Adrian Peterson and the run with some success. However, Brett will find Visanthe Shiancoe to be his weapon of choice with six catches for 105 yards and two TDs (including one in the 4th quarter to give the Vikes a come from behind win after trailing most of the day). Minnesota gets over their tough loss to Pittsburgh with an even bigger win to division foe GB. Everyone in the media claims before the game that it all has to do with revenge; everyone claims after the game that it had nothing to do with revenge. Only Favre will know. Favre hints in a post-game interview that he might retire next year. Final Score: Vikings 24 Pack 23

FFPC Main Event Week 6 Results

FFPC Main Event Week 6 Results

It was a high scoring week in fantasy football and if there was ever a week for Manny DeJesus to show us his TDs, this was it. He scored an FFPC record 229.4 fantasy points. Matt Schaub, Ray Rice and Randy Moss powered that fantastic score. Manny is now in first overall. Russ Steele powers his way back into 2nd place, with Kip Lockwood, Mike Grimm and David Hubbard making up the rest of our top 5.
Places 6th-10th got shaken up, as we have some fresh faces. Sam Hendricks and FFGuidebook.com are in 6th, with Jeff Sanok and Alligator Blood moving up to 7th. Both of them scored in the 200 point range last week to make big moves.

Ask the Expert: Which struggling star do you expect to return to greatness

Of all the league's struggling stars -- Matt Forte, Steve Smith, name your own candidate -- which one do you see as most likely to turn things around the rest of the way?


The list is long and distinguished. Some others worthy of contention for the struggling tag include: Tony Romo, C. Portis, B. Westbrook, MB3, B. Edwards
T.O., A. Boldin and Eddie Royal. My turnaround candidate is Clinton Portis. With questions at QB (and Head Coach) Portis may find himself with more opportunities as he tries to carry the team on his shoulders. He is currently 20th for RBs but has started to pull away recently. The remainder of his schedule is medium to tough run defenses. He has the potential for a top 10 finish.
