@ChiBitCTy. Yes, flight time going to London is 9 hours, they play vs. the Bills, they won the game, they ride another flight of 9 hours, have training then play the Colts and again won the game. This would imply that they might be tired for the Saints, however, his also implies that they should not be underestimated. If someone will give you +3 for the Jaguars you should bet this hehe.

@Hueristic. Hehehehee I would not have won even if I had Henry and Jaguars defense because Massage Watson is injured and Pollard did not get much points. I thought Pollard would get more than 20 against this Chargers defense.

Wow I'm kinda shocked to see that they played in London, flew back to the US and then flew right back.  I think this is a sign that London is getting closer and closer to having their own NFL team (mark my words Europe will have a team in 10-15 years tops.

Pretty solid game tonight, Saints vs Jags. Right now the Saints are at -2.5 on my gambling site.  I really want to place a bet, but I'm nervous about Trevor Lawrence playing or not.  He's a game-time decision right now.

It is definitely coming, if anything the only thing that surprises me is that I always thought the first country to get their own NFL team would be Germany since football seems to be more popular there than at other European countries.

If this game was played on Sunday I have no doubts Lawrence will be able to play, but since it is a short week any small setback could land him on the bench, fortunately for me last week I had two spots open and I picked a QB, then I am playing Geno Smith and that way I do not have to deal with Lawrence playing or not.

With the current structure of Conferences and Divisions adding teams would only happen if they could add 8 teams all at once and go to 18-game regular season.  I imagine there have been talks to do just that, and adding teams from other countries would only make sense.  Canada, Mexico, England, and Germany would all make good markets for the NFL in my opinion.

The logistics in that is a nightmare.  These teams hate playing 1 game even over there.  The jet lag and timezones are killer with weekly games.  I mean I know the nfl would love it but just not sure the owners would agree to it.  I think something like that has to pass through the owners for vote too right?

Trevor Lawrence has played and the Jaguars have won hehehe.

On the next games what are your predictions on the Eagles vs. the Dolphins and on the Ravens and the Lions? The Eagles is being offered on -3 which might be an underestimation because they can win against the spread by 10 points, I reckon. This might be something similar to the Dolphins' game against the Bills where the defense of the Bills won them the game. Dolphins defense on the redzone is also very bad hehe.

On the Ravens, I am a fan of Lamar and also the Lions might only be an overestimated team for this season. Ravens -3 also because they also can win against the spread by more than 7 points.

Why would they have to add 8 games? There’s plenty of conferences/devisions in sports where there’s an unequal amount of teams. Not to mention the NFL includes bye weeks as a big part of their schedule so that would allow for them to add just say 2 teams at first.

Regardless can’t wait to see how bad my bears do today and I can’t wait to see this game tonight, Miami vs Philly; what a showdown!

[bbc.reporter]

@ChiBitCTy. Agreed! The Dolphins offense is clearly one of the best and the most risk taking in the NFL, however, Eagles defensive team might be enough to stop some them from scoring many points. Also, I heard the comment that the Eagles are having difficulties in the redzone and this is true, however, he did not say that the Dolphins are also one of the worst in defending in the redzone hehehee.

In any case, there was a turn over for Miami as I create this post hehe.

Also, I have my 2nd win in fantasy! I am very happy with this hehehe. I still have chance to enter playoffs!

[Hueristic]

Nice match Nutildah.

Nice match Nutildah.

Thanks! Was a bit surprising but I'll take it. Will be nice to have Achane back in Week 11.

Yeah he's a Superstar, will be taking alot of Moserts work from me and add Jeff Wilson Jr. being back and I expected this to be my last bonanza from him.

*Hope Monty gets back soon as it looks like Jacobs is not going to show up and my future is looking pretty grim.


BTW if anyone doesn't know that lineup I posted above is Ekeler's fantasy team playing against himself.

Miami got hit really hard with injuries to their offensive line.  No line no running game or enough time to protect the qb long enough for route trees to finish.  Miami depends on a lot of time for these things to come together.  I like their offense but if their line can't hold up achane will have issues too once he comes back.

So many good players with duds this week costing managers big time since we had like 6 teams on bye and points were needed.

My boy Foreman with 39 points if we add the first down points, and what's even crazy is that i didn't even need his production since practically everyone on my team scored, what a week...

With two straight wins and not too tough of a schedule coming up, the Vikings might finally turn this around and have a chance at making the playoffs, which means i might get Jefferson back at some point. Hope is what kills us, right? Lol

Three of the five teams Moon Coiners have faced thus far have scored less than 100 points (the highest being 107).

The curse is on, make that 5/7.

Yeah I'm not sure I'm feeling the Dolphins as much as I was now.  Their defense isn't the greatest either and seems to falter against pretty tough teams.

While I did have a solid victory in this league, finally, I also went 5 for 6 in all of my fantasy football leagues this week.  However when it comes to my bets, let just say I had for too much faith in the Detroit Lions.  I should know better being that my team is also in the NFC North.

Wheels has had almost 900 points put up against him compared to suchmoon who has had just over 650 against him.

Wheels has had some serious bad luck and Yahoo is not far behind in that metric with ~875!

Lots of luck in this game but it all pretty much evens out by the end.

Lol yeah that was a complete dud.  In terms of betting I can't nail down the nfc north or the nfc south.  Just can't figure those teams out.  Seems like those divisions are wide open in terms of who will be hot come December.  It's been an odd year in terms of betting.  Less and less parity which seems to make the games more fun to watch.  Either that or I'm just getting worse at betting lol.

Well I can tell you one thing for sure, the Chicago Bears are not the best team in the NFC North, nor do they have any chance on gods green earth to make the playoffs lol.  That being said I am a bit surprised at their recent victories.  Honestly it's at a point right now where I can't help but root against them in hopes of getting those top picks.  That said, if Justin Fields ends up coming back and tearing it up..I'll have no problem with that.  Hell even if the Bears get the first pick, do they meet all of Caleb Williams qualifications (dude sounds ridiculous).

Lol, I played three of those players last week, Gabe Davis, Ekeler and Robinson.

Finally my record is aligning more closely with my performance as a manager, however when looking to the previous season compared to this one I think the main problem is that I get no consistency out of my players, last year I could very much play the same squad week after week and still get top performance and this allowed me to do almost nothing and just enjoy the ride.

But this season even if my players still give good performances they are inconsistent, then one week I get Robinson with a great week, but the next week he drops the ball and the one with a good performance is Harris and this gives me a lot of trouble as I am unable to select my optimal lineup.

Well that's fantasy football for ya.  Nearly 20 years of experience now and every single season is a bit different.  That being said I do feel like I'm a bit cursed, the last few seasons I've had horrible luck when it comes to players getting injured.  It's one thing to lose a player for a few weeks, but losing a star player for the entire year within the first couple weeks..brutal.

Decently interesting game tonight.  The Bills should wax the Bucs, but there's some fun star power/fantasy relevant guys playing, so it'll keep my interest at least.  Not sure the Bills will cover the high spread though.
