Yikes I'm playing against McCaffrey and Carson and they both out. Injuries are racking up this year.  Survival of the fittest this year in ff.  Good luck to all this week.  I hope everyone wins! (Except hueristic )

Chubb is out and he's like half of my team so I'm just gonna pretend that it's a bye week for everyone and not worry about it. Not that I had much of a chance against mad dogs anyway.

I hope everyone wins! (Except hueristic )

Hueristic wins the prize for consistency:

I dunno suchmoon, being 3-0 in your division, you're technically the best team in the league.

"I don't discount anything," said Maddogs coach Nutildah Jones at a press conference today. "Which is why we practiced extra hard this week; tried to tighten up our defense and study soft spots we can exploit in our opponent's offense."

Coach Jones credited San Diego phenom Justin Herbert with the big push to help secure the 'Dogs victory last week.

An overly-conservative move according to some, Jones is benching Herbert this week in favor of the more veteran Patrick Mahomes, who will be up against a less-challenging opponent in the Washington Football Team.

"This is the NFL -- anything can happen," he later added.


Uh oh I'm on the verge of becoming nullius  


Sorry to poke fun at your expense Heuristics, but I felt compelled to make this for you and needed to see it through to completion.



Triple edit: If you could just go ahead and win this game, that would be great, thanks. You can count on me as your biggest fan!

That's very cool and will brag relentlessly for the next few years how I once was leading an FF league after week five but unless Lamar does a dozen cartwheels into the end zone and Patrick Price has a bad hair day, my opinion of our matchup stands.

[wheelz1200]

Dang Carolina panthers actually just threw Christian McCaffrey on IR so he is out at least another 3 games.  Shame between him and Barkley to no fault of their own they won't be draftable in the front end of a draft anymore.  Too injury prone.  

[Hueristic]

[nutildah]

Patrick Price has a bad hair day, my opinion of our matchup stands.

He just hasn't been the same since the news broke about his fake car insurance discount. It shattered his confidence which explains the off-moments in his performance this year.

I would like it if that commercial series culminated in physical violence against Jake from State Farm. Patrick and Aaron have had it with Jake's shenanigans so they challenge him to a quick football contest, which they use as an excuse to double-tackle him, resulting in Jake's brief but touch-and-go hospitalization.


For Sunday I like Arizona at +3.5, just going by my philosophy of 'those who do well against the spread, will continue to do well against the spread,' as goes for doing bad. Same goes with the Chargers at +2.5 -- another good team that tends to cover taking points this week. Those ought to be two great matchups and I wouldn't be surprised if the underdog wins both of them.

[Hueristic]

Three running backs I had starting this week...

Christian McCaffrey  IR

Chris Carson IR

Damien Williams Covid/IR

On the bright side I just don't give a shit anymore.

Or they show up without their OL and Jake sacks both of them.

If those two are underdogs then I would like whatever the bookies are smoking. Or at least their data and algorithms.

I think it's a trap to make people bet on Browns and Ravens.

Edit: Cardinals bought Zach Ertz but sadly he can't play tomorrow.

Yeah that's a rough go.  But if the fantasy football gods continue with their humor you will probably end up crushing me by like 30 points lol.  In all seriousness, every week is up for grabs.  But yeah man that's some bad luck there.  Cmc has crushed ff teams for the last 2 years.

No worries, Don't dish it if you can't take it and I'm man enough to handle a little banter at my expense.

I also like that +2.5 for the Chargers, it was +3 during the beginning for the week. Everything is working with them, the passing, the rushing, the receiving. However, how would you rate Baltimore’s defense? You reckon they will stop Ekeler?

Sam Darnold is underestimated and might not be bad for the Panthers. Mr. Stephen says +2.5 will be a winner!

I'd rather see Baker's Progressive book group sacking the State Farm dual-threat while Jake streaks the field and Flo tackles him for a loss.  A big loss.

[nutildah]

Same goes with the Chargers at +2.5

Jesus what an ass stomping in the wrong direction. What a shitshow. Well that's going to seriously throw off the ATS stats for both of these teams.

At least I had the foresight to bench Herbert. I didn't think the defense would shut them down so hard, however.

If Arizona covers I won't consider it a redemption but it will save my gambling account a bit.

[suchmoon]

What are you guys watching today? Cowboys vs Patriots unexpectedly got really exciting towards the end. Mac Jones threw a pick and almost immediately a whale of a TD + 2 point coversion.

Going to overtime.

Same goes with the Chargers at +2.5

What happened there? Crushing score but my boy Lamar barely got 11 fantasy points...

There will presently be still more than 50% for the Chargers to win against the spread, however. I think we cannot assume for them to win always versus top teams.

Chargers on bye week for week 7 and they will play against the Patriots on week 8. This is also another top team hehehe.

What do you guys think about tonight's matchup? Is today finally the day to bet against Tom Brady?

It's never a good time to bet against Brady but in the scheme of things this might be the closest to the best time.

Have you two started weekend refreshments a day early? Betting against the goat?

Not until he meets Josh Allen and Bills defense in the SB.

YUP!

My all time favorite beer. Where’s your orange 🍊 though?

Hope y’all had a better FF day than I did. was up nicely in all my leagues but then in the last hour of games if all fell apart. Thankfully I’ve hit on every bet so far (got the Steelers at -5.5).

[Hueristic]

I can't drink any beer with fruit in it.

Geno smith sucks big donkey dick, I think your bet is safe!

You got your wish with Lamar. That was the biggest problem with my players this week, all of their teams got up huge early on and ended up just running the ball leaning my WRs little actions. Also didn’t help that Marquis Brown  once again dropped a TD. That’s 4 on the season now. Smh

Massive huge donkey dick lol. I didn’t even realize he was still in the league until Wilson got hurt and he came in.

Man Blue Moon is so much better with an orange slice. Corona with a lime, etc. You could pour a little OJ in your blue moon. I’ve done that many times when the bar would be out of oranges. Not as good but decent.
