It is that time of year, when we stuff ourselves with turkey, stuffing and mashed potatos. We become avid football fans for at least a few days while basking in the relaxation of couch potato-dom and leftovers. Perhaps, instead we sneak out and catch a flick or even get serious about our holiday gift shopping by braving the Black Friday and weekend crowds. This year it might be better to miss all of that congestion and opt for couch potato-dom by using a prepaid card to shop online from the comfort of your own home.

Not only can you shop for gifts online with your prepaid card, but you can compare and order the card itself online through prepaid websites. Some of the features and benefits prepaid cards can offer include – fraud protection, liability protection, online account management, mobile text spending alerts, free bill pay, direct deposit, family companion cards, internationally recognized (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), no credit check, instant approval, dozens of money loading options and some cards even offer cash back rewards.

So, get to it now and couch-potato it later. You’ll be glad you did. In the meantime, here are the top 9 team standings going into week 12. We would’ve posted 10, but there is a five-way tie for the 10th spot.
