Why am I the one whom ALWAYS has the most injuries in fantasy football. I swear to god every single year I lose key players more so than anyone else. Rhamondre Stevenson looks hurt badly. Prob season ender. I swear to god man smh. Dude had 7pts in the first quarter and was primed for a huge day.

What is everyone's assessment on the Bengals vs. the Jaguars? I am very much aware that the Bengals are nothing without Joe Burrow, however, can the Jaguars win against the spread with 9.5 in this game? Bengals +9 might cover, I reckon.

Also, the Lions -4.5? This might be a good opportunity to for them to come back and win after their loss against the Packers.

I think they could definitely cover this spread. Jacksonville has been playing well lately and could def see them beating that spread.

Yeah you've had a pretty bad run but this year seems like it has been bad all the way around.  I got screwd pretty hard in all my leagues this year.  Don't think a top 2 pick in any of my leagues has made it out unscathed.  Next year I'm switching up my draft a little.  Just gonna draft an entire teams full set of running backs or wide receivers lol.

Well, TBH I'm not too sad either, what with Deebo hauling in all those TDs.

This is the year for niners, right?

If they can stay healthy it has to be, everyone looking so god damn primed. Should be an incredibly stacked playoffs regardless - exciting

If it makes you feel any better the NFC is looking way tougher than the AFC this season, but on the bright side if the 49ers can make it to the SB I would put them as the clear favorites to win it regardless of which team got to win the AFC championship.

I would not make that assumption. That is very much similar to what I assumed with the Bills for 2 straight years and I also had Josh Allen as the MVP during those years hehe. The 49ers might have gotten their revenge against the Eagles, however, this might only be showing the Eagles weaknesses than the 49ers strengths. Yes I might be wrong. Howeve, I do not trust Brock Purdy yet in a big game against someone like Patrick Mahomes.

I don't have the same concern, he's not Jimmy Garoppolo.  So far the only playoff game he's lost was due to tearing a ligament in his elbow.  

Obviously the QB has a huge impact on the game, but the more telling thing is that the niners are the currently the most balanced team in football, second in most points scored and first in least points allowed.  They are over 40 points ahead of the next team in terms of net points.  That gives me confidence going into the playoffs, but there's still lots of football to play.

Wander in to P&S and I bet you’ll increase that number 10-fold, especially reading one forum member’s post in particular (hint, it’s not good..it’s bad  ).

@bbc Brock Purdy wouldn’t face Mahomes. He faces the Chiefs defense. To boot, Mahomes has not been Mahomes really this year, esp of late. Kelce looks hurt (rumors he’s hanging it up after this year) and the KC receivers are absolute shit (Rice is okay).  The Niners are a much much better team all around. Defense obviously much better and Purdy has 100x the weapons Mahomes has. My money would be all over SF in a matchup between these two.

Looks like 3 of us have locked up a playoff spot!

I think you might be the only one with a chance to knock SM out of contention, GL.

To each their own so I have no problem if your opinion differs, however my assumption is not only based on the performance on the field, which at least to my eyes seems to be way better for the NFC teams this year, this is also about the overall health of the teams, on the AFC 4 out of the 7 teams currently on the playoffs are playing with their backup QB, and the Browns are playing with their 4th QB, while on the NFC only the Vikings are playing with a backup QB.

When it comes to Josh Allen there is no doubt he is extremely talented, but when I see him playing he seems like a more gifted but more erratic Brett Favre, he has a better arm, legs and can do some extraordinary things on the field, but he makes too many boneheaded mistakes that make you wonder, what was Allen thinking when making that throw?

Finally I would give Purdy some slack, when compared to Mahomes every QB currently playing comes up short, but Mahomes does not really have the weapons he needs to compete, although not as bad this reminds me of the last season of Brady with NE, cannot believe he won 12 games with that team, and while he is doing his best, KC WRs are dropping the ball the most on the entire NFL and I can only assume this trend will get worse on the playoffs when facing better teams, worst weather and the stakes are as high as they can be.

@ChiBitCTy, @DireWolfM14. I agree on both your points. I was only thinking if it was the 49ers vs. the Chiefs were in the superbowl, the biggest game of the season, and the spread was -1. I reckon for my money I would trust Mahomes more than Purdy. Brock Purdy has showed that he is a good quarterback, however, for the experience and the clutch element in these big games, there is Patrick Mahomes.

Politics and Society ..picking up what I’m putting down here now? lol.  Also, agreed. I would apply to be a de-merit source in a heartbeat  .  

Well I’ve made a decent run towards the finish line but prob not gunna make it in. Has been a fun year anyhow and I won’t finish last like last year so there’s that !

[bbc.reporter]

I am contemplating if I drop all my players in the waiverwire or continue playing to avoid ending on the bottom hehehe.

In any case, I predict the Jets and the Raiders will beat the spread, both with +3 and Mahomes will win against Josh Allen hehehe.

Also, who is everyone's MVP for the regular season? I reckon Dak, however, I know everyone might be on Purdy.

[nutildah]

For the first time since Week 5 I'm actually pretty happy about my lineup. But I won't go into depth about it lest I jinx myself.

Its been all downhill for me since this post. I've been on a freakin' 4-game losing streak, and I'll likely lose this next game as well -- not that it matters anymore. I truly did jinx myself.

In any case, getting away from that whole fiasco, we have some exciting games still yet to take place through the rest of the season. Who had Texans on their NFL Bingo Card as possible playoff contenders this year?

For a playoff picture, I'd like to see Dolphins vs. Chiefs in the AFC and Eagles vs. 49ers in the NFC.

I almost said something earlier in the season and bit my tongue so as not to jinx myself!

I don't think anyone anywhere thought Houston would even break even this year!

this would be some good games.

Yeah, I'd probally neg trust you for that.

Really tough making spread calls this year for some reason, ml safer.

Also, who is everyone's MVP for the regular season? I reckon Dak, however, I know everyone might be on Purdy.

Stroud, Purdy, Mcaffrey are all good candidates off the top of my head.
hope a Cowgirl doesn't win!

[ChiBitCTy]

Pretty crazy that we've got just two weeks left until the playoffs start.  It's insane how fast the NFL season flies by.

Here's the games I like for tomorrow..

Tampa Bucs +2.5 Falcons   - Just feel like they've been playing well lately.
Detroit Lions -3 Bears-  My Bears suck
Miami Dolphins -13 Titans

There's a few other games I like, but these are the 3 I feel most comfortable with at the moment.
