Fantasy Football Matchups Playoffs Rd 1

Fantasy Matchups are up for NFL Wild Card Weekend at Pinnacle. I will get back after lunch with some analysis of each matchup. As much as I hate him, TO at +116 looks pretty good. I need to get some wins after last week.

	1 Tony Romo (DAL)	+110
	2 Matt Hasselbeck (SEA)	-126
	3 Jeff Garcia (PHI)	-116
	4 Tom Brady (NE)	+100
	5 Marvin Harrison (IND)	-132
	6 Terrell Owens (DAL)	+116
	7 Reggie Wayne (IND)	-128
	8 Plaxico Burress (NYG)	+112
	9 Tiki Barber (NYG)	+108
	10 Brian Westbrook (PHI)	-124

The scoring system of 1 point for every 50 passing yards, 1 point for every 20 rushing yards, 1 point for every 20 receiving yards, 6 points for every touchdown, 2 points for every 2 point conversion, -2 points for every fumble lost and -2 points for every interception will be used.


TDs rule at Pinnacle.

Romo has the incredible matchup against a seriously beat up Seattle secondary, but Holmgren is no idiot. He will come up with an effective plan to protect his secondary and limit the amount of time they will be exposed (pressure). Romo is young and has been shaky recently. I think Seattle D will add to the shakiness. Hasselbeck is proven, and he's got SA healthy again. the Dallas safeties are horrible and Hass will find a way to expose them. Hass has the better game, but I need him to be the underdog before I play it.

Garcia has been on fire (116/199 for 1309 yards, 10 TDs and 2 interceptions this season) and has a great matchup against a struggling Giant team. NY has only had 32 sacks and has given up 21 TD passes. Philly is very balanced and has weapons in all areas. They will put up a lot of points. Big Game Brady has a very tough matchup, since their bye, the Jets have given up only 12 pts a game. The Pats will do most of their damage on the ground. Obviously, its important and NE's backs are much stronger than their receivers. Garcia covers this one easily, I'd like to see him at +100.

TO has a great matchup, with the injured Seahawks. See the Romo analysis. I think Seattle pressures Romo, but TO will still get his catches and probably a TD. Marvin could have a tougher day. Larry Johnson will get 35+ carries, which will limit the number of plays for the Indy offense. I always like Harrison, but TO at +110 or better is a good play this week.

Reggie Wayne faces the so-so KC pass defense and will split targets with Marvin, but he still has a good day . Plax will be the only target for Eli, but the Giants may not even be competitive. I don't see the odds moving too much and I can't take Plax, so i will pass unless something weird happens with the line.

Westy gets to run wild against a hurting Giant D and Tiki has a tough road vs the hot Philly D. Tiki loses a lot of redzone touches which projects Westy a lot higher than Tiki. Tiki averaged about 1oo yrds total offense against the Eagles this year with 1 TD. Westy averaged about 120 with 3 TDs. I like Westy if the odds work out.
