Before we get to this week's picks, here's the updated Women of TFP Power Poll:

1) Christina Hendricks - Joan Holloway, Mad Men

Despite marrying this guy last week, Hendricks will remain atop these here standings until someone comes along and knocks here off. And wouldn't you pay $49.95 to get that cage fight on pay-per-view?

2) Elizabeth Mitchell - Dr. Juliet Burke, LOST / V

V, the reboot of the 1984 Marc Singer-led mini-series about aliens who come to Earth under the guise of friendship, debuts on ABC Nov. 2 and not only does it star our LOST crush Mitchell, but Scott Wolf (Party of Five) and Morris Chestnut (Ricky from Boyz In the Hood and countless other Soul Food-like black dramedies) are also involved.

3) Lauren Graham - Gilmore Girls / Parenthood

When Maura Tierney dropped out of NBC's Parenthood to undergo treatment for breast cancer, the door opened for Graham to return to prime-time TV, this time on a real network. The show, based on the woefully underrated Steve Martin film, also stars Sports Night / Six Feet Under / Dirty Sexy Money star Peter Krause and former TFP pinup Monica Potter. We're cautiously optimistic about Parenthood but there's nothing cautious about our love for Graham.

4) Kaley Cuoco - Penny, The Big Bang Theory

This show has grown on us over the past 12 months and so too as Cuoco, who despite being born in California has an intangible Nordic / Midwesterny vibe that we wholeheartedly dig. Plus, we're fierce advocates for the rights of geeks to date hot chicks, unless that chick is anyone on this list.

5) Abigail Spencer - Miss Farrell, Mad Men**

We all "know how this ends" for her and Don Draper but let's just hope they can keep their tryst secret long enough for Miss Farrell to show up drunk at the Draper house wearing nothing but a London Fog raincoat.

**Biggest Climber of the Week

OK, enough heavy breathing. Let's get picking!

Last Week: 5-1

Season: 20-16

Pastor Mike (1-5) vs. Pastor Jon (4-2)

We'd like to say this is the week that Pastor Mike stops the bleeding in what has been a forgettable season by his lofty, two-title standards, but we can't. Pastor Jon is on a serious roll and coming off a 102-point explosion last week in a win over Internet Mike. This week he's missing Ray Rice (bye) but he picked up Laurence Maroney (vs TB in London), who untrustworthy as he generally is doesn't have any serious threats to steal carries other than Ben Jarvis Brian Austin Green Ellis. Aaron Rodgers (@CLE) and DeAngelo Williams (vs BUF) should be enough to mask Jon's deficient WRs (pickup du jour Miles Austin, vanilla Devin Hester and Native American-cursed Santana Moss) and help him beat a team he's supposed to beat. That said, if Jon loses he's back to being who we thought he was. Sneaky play: Tashard Choice (vs ATL), who will lead all Dallas RBs in points this week.  Pastor Jon 70, Pastor Mike 52.

Trader Dave (3-3) vs. Pastor Kirk (3-3)

What's that smell?? It's the Game of the Week! Yeah, yeah, they're both .500 but you've never felt intensity like sitting in Pastor Kirk's mancave during a Trader Dave/Pastor Kirk matchup, laptops buzzing and the remote smoking from flipping back-and-forth between the Packers and Vikings games. It's a real pressure cooker. This one comes down to who needs the win more, and in this case it's Trader Dave. We like the Peyton Manning to Austin Collie (@STL) bit and Greg Jennings (@CLE) has to score sometime, right? Biggest X-Factor? Without a doubt, it's LaDanian Tomlinson (@KC). Sproles isn't taking goal line carries so if LDT can't score this week we may have to buy a plot for him at the fantasy cemetary. Sure, Kirk has Drew Brees (@MIA) , Randy Moss (vs. TB in London) and Tony Gonzalez (@DAL) but what about the rest of the team? Where are the points going to come from? Johnny Knox (@CIN), Mohammed Massaquoi (vs. GB)? Ryan Grant (@CLE)? Leon freaking Washington (@OAK)? We're not seeing it. Sneak play: Collie. Trader Dave 82, Pastor Kirk 71.

Team Tommy (1-5) vs. Team Timmy (5-1)

If you're looking for an upset, look elsewhere. Big Ben (vs MIN) might outscore Tommy's entire team. Timmy's team continues to build steam with Steve Slaton (vs SF), Mario Manningham (vs AZ) and Steve Breaston (@NYG) all trending upward. We don't anticipate Rashard Mendenhall (vs MIN) getting into the endzone but he's a nice play in heavy performance leagues (see what Rice, Ray did to the Vikings in Week 6). The only chance Tommy has is if there's a shootout in Dallas between the Cowboys and Falcons. He's got Romo (split personality disorder), Michael Turner (didn't run well against the Bears but seems to score every week), Marion Barber (banged up and splitting carries with both Tashard Choice and Felix Jones) and Jason Witten (horribly underused in the red zone). We honestly can't see more than 25 total points from those four players and that's not enough. Sneaky play: Watch Lee Evans (@CAR) with Ryan Fitzpatrick at QB. Two scores wouldn't surprise us in the least. Team Timmy 68, Team Tommy 54.

Little Sowers (4-2) vs. Internet Mike (4-2)

Love Internet Mike's fleet of WR/TE--Marques Colston (@MIA), Hines Ward (vs MIN), Dwayne Bowe (vs SD), and Dallas Clark (@STL)--and our favorite non-Viking player in the NFL, Matt Ryan, should feast in Dallas. Not crazy about the Reggie Bush (@MIA) play but whatever. Little Sowers should get big games from Antonio Gates (@KC) and all-world Andre Johnson (vs SF) but we hate Carson Palmer (vs CHI) and the Longwell/MIN (@PIT) combo. Sneaky play: Chester Taylor (@PIT), who will be the leading receiver for the Vikings and vulture a TD. Bring your daughter to the slaughter. Internet Mike 85, Little Sowers 52.

Pastor Sowers (2-4) vs. Pastor Matt (2-0)

We're fascinated by the comeback story of Cedric Benson (vs CHI) but we don't like the matchup here (the Bears did a great job against Michael Turner). Steve Smith 2.0 (vs AZ) has disappeared and while Clinton Portis (vs PHI) has been the only consistent scorer on a diseased Redskins team we think he'll be contained by a furious Eagles defense that was embarrassed by the Raiders last week. All of this points to a win for Pastor Matt, who should benefit from Pierre Thomas (@MIA) reestablishing himself as the alpha dog of the New Orleans backfield and Vincent Jackson (@KC) gashing the Chiefs' secondary. Sneaky play: Dustin Keller (@OAK), who had 10 targets last week against the Bills. Pastor Matt 54, Pastor Sowers 48.

TFP (5-1) vs. Pastor Steve (3-3)

If you think our calling TFP a fraud is just a bit, just look at the starting lineup: Sid Rice (@PIT), Ted Ginn (vs NO), Carnell Williams (vs NE in London), Buffalo (@CAR). Makes you vomit a little, right? Conversely, look at Pastor Steve's juggernaut featuring Brady and Welker (vs TB in London), Chad Johnson (vs CHI), overdue Matt Forte (@CIN) and super stud Ronnie Brown (vs NO). Sneaky play: Hakeem Nicks (vs AZ), who has scored in three straight games. Pastor Steve 77, TFP 40.

Thanks, peeps. Have a great weekend and enjoy this Random Song Worth Your Time.
