Holy shit! The ravens saved my ASS !!!

That feels great that I tossed Goff to the curb and he streamed him against me!




That might be Ingrams best week all year (Just checked and its his second best week), damn the stars really aligned on this one.

And we were tied as well, both of us fighting for a playoff slot.

Hah! Nice one. I really don't understand what someone is doing playing Goff this late in the season, unless their main QB had a bye week. Lets say your league has 10 teams. That means there's 22 other starting QBs you have to pick from, granted they aren't all picked up. This week there were literally 22 other QBs who outscored Goff -- hard to believe they are all taken in any league.

Here was my week's performance (I'm the team on the right) -- note our scoring system is a bit wonky, I think our commissioner upped the points by a factor of 10 to avoid having decimals:



And BTW I didn't watch the Rams game, I stayed out drinking on the beach too late and woke up during the 4th quarter. Glad I didn't watch it, actually.

Yeah it looks like yours is full PPR *10 and mine are 1/2 PPR. i personally hate any PPR as I feel it takes away from the difficulty of selecting a lineup. it's pretty easy to just pick guys that get target share. But no-one likes standard anymore for some reason.

I think he streamed Goff just to fuck with me because I dropped Goff to the wire last week so he would have had a good laugh but now there's egg on his face and it was a huge week for our teams as we were tied and both fighting for a playoff spot. I had to stream TE,k,Def on that lineup.

Having Thomas, Godwin and Evans is unreal! How did you manage that one and with 2 RB1's to boot(at least at draft time they were)?

I had goff and dropped him already, real disappointing season.  My backup was josh allen but he has been way better.  At least with josh I have a low floor with a rushing td possibility always there with him.  Yeah that wr combo is real good.  Godwin went in the 6th round in my league so I can see how you got those wars.  Nice draft

Godwin got scooped up quick in my drafts I was disappointed I couldn't steal him

I got Super lucky someone dropped Brees when he was injured otherwise I would have been streaming QB's the last few weeks and would probably have Tannerhill right now.

@nutildah. Which game will be polled for week 13, Lamar versus the 49ers or the Browns versus the Steelers rematch hehehe?

Lamar defeated the Seahawks and the Patriots. I reckon winning the next game might make him the best candidate for MVP.

OK lets do Browns vs. Steelers since the line is a tad closer to even (between -2 and -2.5 Browns).

New Poll:

12/01
1:00 PM

[471] CLEVELAND
[472] PITTSBURGH

For this one I'm definitely going with Pittsburgh. They just tend to cover the spread more often than Cleveland, plus they need this game (and others to follow) to secure a wildcard spot in the playoffs.

I noticed there are 3 games this Thursday, might try to watch the late one tomorrow, which is NO vs Atl.

I started with Thomas and Evans and picked up Godwin along the way.

Damn, I'm jealous, I think things will have to go totally bonkers for you not to take down that league.

AFA Brown and Steelers i gotta say I'm thinking a Brown repeat here. it has taken them awhile to get the wheels on that train but they looked like everyone expected them to be at the beginning of the season that last steelers game. I didn't catch their game vs miami.

Yeah I actually landed him in the 6th and michael thomas in the 2nd.  Too bad my first was david johnson what a bust.  What hurts even more is that dalvin cook was picked right after my pick lol.  Got aaron jones in the 3rd too which has been real nice.  Had a bunch of other busts.  I'm real thin at rb but have too many wrs.

If Baltimore can defeat SF convincingly then Lamar Jackson will not only become the favourite to be the MVP the Ravens will become the clear favourites to win the super bowl, but while this year has been amazing for Lamar his success comes mostly from being a dual threat and there is always a huge uproar when someone like him appears but we know that at some point he will lose some of that speed and the hits he receives will begin to take a toll on his body, he must be aware of that and I expect he adjusts his game accordingly.
For the game of the poll I voted for the Browns I really doubt the Steelers will beat them with their third QB, also I think the Browns are a very emotional team and their three winning streak is slowly rising the morale of that team, as for today I will not be able to watch all the games but I will make an effort to watch Buffalo at Dallas and while Buffalo’s defence will give problems I really expect Dallas to come up with the win.
P.S. To all of those that celebrate it I wish them a Happy Thanksgiving Day.

I'm going with the Browns, I think they'll win and cover the 2-point spread easily.

I'm surprised the 49ers are underdogs this week, and by 6 points.  No respect!  I'm tempted to bet on a sports game for the first time in my life.  The Niners were built to thwart dual-threat quarterbacks, and Lamar Jackson isn't on Russell Wilson's level in my opinion.  I'm okay, with everyone overlooking them.  GO NINERS!

I was like that until Cooper Kupp went into the shitter and now my WR's are a problem

Dammit i didn't get home in time to set my lineup, I wasn't sure whether to Gallup today or not.

You may very well be right here.

I hope buffalo's D comes through as I forgot to swap them out!

[DireWolfM14]

I hope buffalo's D comes through as I forgot to swap them out!

Two turnovers (almost three) and holding them 7 points so far.  That isn't bad.  But they're letting Dallas rack up the yards.  Hopefully they can keep them out of the endzone.  My second favorite team in the league is whoever is pitted against Dallas that week.  I loved what Tom Brady said before last week's game; "I've really not liked the Cowboys since coming out of the womb, as a Niner fan.”

Haha, I'm there with you on this one!


I almost streamed beasley this week but chickened out.


Dallas always puts up numbers in the 4th though. I just checked and I have Gallup on the bench, whew. Now he'll kill it in the 4th since I said this.

Looks like the Cowgirls are getting the bad penalties and more back from last week this week.

Damn that gallup catch got me, i thought it was in right after I posted the above!

[morvillz7z]

I can't say i'm the biggest Cowboys hater around here but it's nice to see them lose on Thanksgiving, overall tough week for Jerry Jones. lol

It's even better if you have a winning bet as i took the U 47.5 (extra point)

Agreed. It might also be the preview for the Super Bowl, similar to their game versus the Patriots might be the preview to the AFC divisional championship hehehe.

I choose the Steelers for the home crowd and angry team.

When a Newbie spams in The Essential NFL Thread



Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans out there chowing down on some Turkey or tofurkey or whatever your thing is. I found the Saints/Falcons game on TV, its been a good one so far, gotta go get some coffee in my system before I get committed to it. Hope you had a good one.

[bbc.reporter]

@nutildah. This game is unexpectedly competitive. What was the spread? I reckon it was Saints -6.5 for the full game and -3 for the 1st half?

[nutildah]

Shifted down to -7 moments before the game started. I don't actually look at halves, but its looking pretty likely that the Saints are going to cover both halves at this point. Looks like it will only be downhill for the Falcons from here.

[BrokenM14]

^ I think that's right NO by 6.5.  The family is still too loud, maybe if I put the game on they'll pipe down.

@nutildah, lol about the newbie, and coffee is a great idea.  I'm about to fall into a food coma.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
