Week 10 vs. The North Remembers

Starting Lineup
QB: Russell Wilson
RB1: Jay Ajayi
RB2: Rashad Jennings
WR1: Dez Bryant
WR2: Tyrell Williams
TE: Zach Miller
Flex: William Snead IV
Def: Game Time Decision

El Pollo Loco comes limping into week 10 after being demolished by Pryor to the Snap. This franchise has always had troubling putting a string of good weeks together as they are now 2-6 in games the week after having the biggest blowout. General Manager Josh Cermak is begging for consistency from his team, but they never come through. If they ever needed a bounce back week it is this week agaisnt familiar foe The North Remebers which is always a tough out. If Loco wants to salvage their season and make the playoffs this is a must win. The fact that it is a divisional game makes it even more important.

Last week Russell Wilson finally stepped up in a spot start for Derek Carr and if Loco wants to win this week Wilson needs to be brilliant again because Carr is on bye. Unfortunately for Loco this also means Amari Cooper is on bye as well and they will need more of a team effort to replace his production. Although it wouldn't hurt to have more than 2 points from Dez Bryant. Loco has confidence that Bryant will rebound they believe the place they need to make up these points is the RB position. Jay Ajayi continues to play well, but Rashad Jennings makes his way into the lineup for the first time since week 2 and it would give Loco a big boost if he could provide 10 plus points. The North Remembers is already off to a good start with 17 points from Steve Smith. It will be an uphill battle for El Pollo Loco, but look for this one to come down to the wire.
Defense: Green Bay

Week 9 @ Pryor to the Snap

Starting Lineup:
QB: Russell Wilson
RB1: Theo Riddick
RB2: Jay Ajayi
WR1: Amari Cooper
WR2: Dez Bryant
TE: Coby Fleener
Flex: Tyrell Williams
Defense: Green Bay

El Pollo Loco comes into week 9 riding high. Fresh off a 167-126 victory over previously undefeated Unstopa-Bo that brings them to .500 on the season. It is also the first time that Loco has won back-to-back games this season. Now they turn their attention towards Pryor to the Snap for another important divisional game. With a win Loco can pull back to .500 in the division and match their franchise best 3 game winning streak. Pryor to the Snap has been struggling this season riding a 6 game losing streak. However, El Pollo Loco knows that they cannot over looks this team as Pryor beat Loco in the first game of the season and has had Loco's number throughout the league's first 5 years.

Last week El Pollo Loco was lead to victory by the dynamic combination of Derek Carr and Amari Cooper. However, this week Russell Wilson gets the nod at QB because of a tough matchup for Carr against an elite Denver defense. Wilson has struggled this year, but Loco is putting a lot of faith in him turning things around and he could be the deciding factor of whether Loco comes out victorious or suffers another defeat at the hands of Pryor. On the plus side Loco gets the services of RB Jay Ajayi back from a bye week. Loco is hoping that the pairing of Ajayi and Theo Riddick becomes lethal down the final stretch of the season. This is a huge game for El Pollo Loco to keep their momentum going and get back in the thick of the divisional race, but Pryor to the Snap has other plans.
