Three Undefeated Teams Remain: Who Will Fall First

Four games into the 2011 Fantasy season, and three Blue Ribbon teams remain undefeated.  We take an in-depth look at who has the best chance to remain so.

FLUFFERNUTTER: The Fluff are the top scoring team in the league, and seem to be hitting on all cylinders.  Coach Abbott has 10 players in the top 10 at their respective positions.
WHY THEY CONTINUE TO WIN: Depth at the running back spot will help cover the loss of Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson during Bye Weeks.  Matthew Stafford is living up to the hype, and the teams Linebackers (Brian Urlacher and Patrick Willis) continue to put up solid numbers.
UPCOMING SCHEDULE:
Week 5- FELONS  
The Felons should be formidable against the Fluff.  Last season, the Fluff nearly ended the Felons undefeated start, but a Lawyer Milloy sack let the Felons escape.
Week 6- ROOMMATES
Well, after Week 6 there will be at most two undefeated teams.  The odds are that the Fluff pull out the win though, as they are simply too strong from top to bottom against the banged up Roommates.
Week 7 & 8- PRETTY BOYS & RIGGINS
After two tough contests, the Fluff get a little relief in the schedule as they face the winless teams back to back.

PREDICTION:  The Fluff get a remarkable 8-0 start.  Then, in Week 9 battle the Purple Hurricanes.

HURRICANES: The Hurricanes have won eight games in a row dating back to last season, and 15 of 18 overall.  Just once have they scored under 100 pts in that time...and they won that game.  This season, the Hurricanes have not scored under 140 pts.
WHY THEY CONTINUE TO WIN:  Three words: Brees, McFadden, and Welker.  They are the Hurricane's triplets a la the 1990's Cowboys (Aikman, Smith, Irvin). Last season they rode Brees, Hillis, and Brandon Llyod.  Brees still drives the scoring, Hillis has fallen off, and Lloyd wasn't even retained.  The Hurricanes constantly reload the roster.
UPCOMING SCHEDULE:
Week 5, 6, & 7- K-911s/PRETTY BOYS/FELONS 
The Hurricanes take a tour thru the Queen Anne Division...historically, the toughest division in the Blue Ribbon League (2 of 3 Championships).  The Hurricanes have never beat the K-911s, and this season the K-911s are playing some of their best football.  The Pretty Boys might wake up and get prettier, but it most likely won't be enough.  The Felons are strong, but the Hurricanes have 4 people on byes that week...including both WRS and their TE.
Week 8- ROOMMATES
If the Roommates can beat the Fluff in week 6, this will be our second clash of unbeatens.  I just don't believe that the Roommates have the firepower to compete.

PREDICTION:  The Hurricanes match the Fluff's 8-0 start, which will lead to a huge week 9 battle.

ROOMMATES:  According to the Power Ratings, the Fluff and the Canes are 1-2 respectively.  The Roommates, though, are 9th.  The Roommates are 8th in scoring, and have had the fewest points scored against them (103 pts per game given up).  Some could call that good "defense", others would call it "luck".  For instance, in week 1 the Roommates scored 108.5 pts.  That score would have lost to 8 of the 11 other teams in the week.  In week 3, they scored 97.5...a score that 9 of 11 teams would have beat.  The Roommates are undefeated, but they are a mirage.
WHY THEY CONTINUE TO WIN: They will have a very hard time doing so.  Michael Turner, Fred Jackson, and Calvin Johnson will have to continue to have huge games to keep this team competitive.  Over the next 4 weeks, they play teams that are a combined 13-3...so we will soon see if the Roommates are for real.
UPCOMING SCHEDULE:
Week 5 & 7- SOUP CAN/K-911s
The Roommates will play two teams very capable of big games...as well as two teams who will desperately seeking wins in their highly contested divisions.  The Roommates won't have to worry about losing too many players to byes, which may be enough to keep them close.
Week 6 & 8- FLUFF/HURRICANES
The top two teams in the league will present huge obstacles for the Roommates.  The Roomies need to keep pace with the Canes, and will hope to stay healthy and explosive in order to try and secure a wild card spot if they end up losing one or both games to these unbeaten teams.

PREDICTION: The Roommates go 0-4 over the next 4 weeks.  They may be able to squeeze out one game, but that looks like the most upsets they could manage.  Luckily, the Manti are their week 9 matchup...giving the Roommates time to lick wounds and regroup.
