A lotta predicted blowouts this week & a few exciting games as well. Browns/Texans will be a good game, line switched from Texans to Browns. Dallas/Miami will be a good showdown. Dallas has already clinched a spot and Miami will likely whether they win or lose. There's 3 whole weeks of regular season left, gotta watch em and make em count. Then when the season is over, you'll have some comfort in the memories of your extra experience.

On another note I could use some help from everyone.  My quarterbacks for the other btalk league are Flacco, Browning, and Mr Unlimited.  Flacco has the best matchups, Browning has been tearing it up (maybe no Chase), and Wilson is just always pretty steady eddy but his upside is limited..what do you guys think? 

With a gun to my head, i'd take Wilson or Flacco over Browning. Browning does a lot of short horizontal passes/screens, and i wouldn't trust him with Chase out. The Steelers are in a must-win situation, and i don't think they can do it with their offense. Rudolph and Trubisky are terrible, so it has to be their defense, expect a low-scoring game.

It's a long shot but Mullens could be a decent shout this week. The Vikings have playmakers on offense, and the Lions have given up points when playing away from home. This game also features the highest over/under of the four. If i had Addison, Jefferson, or Hockenson on my team though, i'd probably avoid Mullens since you don't want to be overexposed.

Who did you have at QB to begin the season?

I'm deciding between him Flacco and Tua myself. Brutal choice.

Why they had to bench Howell and torpedo my plans for the playoffs is beyond me.

Thanks for the education on shrinking images down.. appreciate it!

Man, Flacco, Browning, Wilson...talk about a difficult decision. I think I did pretty well for a 12 man league.  What hurts is wondering what could have been had I not lost Burrow and Chubb in this league.  I had such a massive game last week I just know this week I'll get burnt.  Olave had a nice game , Kyren had a decent game but not like he's been playing lately.  Lastly Alvin Kamara took a massive dump on me.  His worst game of the year, OF COURSE. Grrrr



(trying to shrink these but keep doing it wrong.  Will work on it a bit later.  I def been meaning to do this for some time)

Look at the edits I did.

I'd be concerned with NE defense as I think Wilsons floor can be pretty low in that game.

[bbc.reporter]

It appears that the oddsmakers are favoring Brock Purdy and Lamar Jackson as the leading MVP candidates. The odds imply that they have more confidence behind Purdy, however, will there be a chance that the winner of the regular season MVP might be decided in their next game on Monday night football? It might be, I reckon.

[Hueristic]

Haha, I woke up thinking "wth, I cant play Mullens over Flacco" and was a few seconds too late getting signed in to swap them. Lol

I'm gonna be pretty pissed at myself if the difference between the two cost me the week!



EDIT:




 

HAHA, I got out of the shower and the game screen was frozen so I had to screenshot it for you guys!

Lol, that sucks.  Mullens had some good games as a Niner, and I always had respect for him but he's so inconsistent I don't know that would have trusted him for a FF playoff game.


Wootwoot!

Cashed out before the Broncos game, if Russ scores here...    (no regrets though)

In fairness to him, Addison and Hockenson went injured, and Jefferson was doubled like crazy, and he still could've won the game. It goes to show how bad the Lions defense is...anyway, let's not bash the Lions on their day clinching first division title in like what, 30 years?!

Stick to a player that's outstanding and confident in scoring points. Every team do triggered winning and losing, we have potentials of winning, if they do not have this hope, they wouldn't have compete or contend for any solidable points in the league. Thrilling victory is achievable and everyone has the right to be able to place wager on games. We all have choices to make and our favorites in the game. @morvillz making an exception of choosing Wilson or Flacco over Brownings bases on the tactical date examined, but the same underrated Brownings is the favorite of most viewers in the system.

What is this a fucking AI?

It looks like you're AI got confused between football and firearms.

Drinking heavily at a family Xmas party and got this telegram update  lmao

[bbc.reporter]

A Merry Christmas to everyone in this thread!

What is everyone's prediction on the game between the teams that might meet in the superbowl on February? The 49ers vs. the Ravens. I reckon this +6 on the Ravens, which has the best defense after 16 weeks might stop McCaffery, might be an underestimation from the oddsmakers.

I am not arguing that the 49ers are not the best team in the NFL for this season, however, the Ravens might have enough to beat the spread. Also, this game might be considered more important for the Ravens than their game on week 17 against the Dolphins.

[suchmoon]

Congratulations Hueristic, I don't think I can make ~70 points needed to win this one, unless Josh Jacobs runs backwards the whole game

It's been a great season for my scrappy team, can't wait to beat you all next year.

[BrokenM14]

9ers and Ravens wish you all a Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas. May the winner of this game become the regular season MVP.

The 1st half was very good for both of these teams! I did not quite expect the offense of the Ravens would give this much problems on the 49ers' defense. I thought this game would be low scoring and I was speculating for it to finish under 47 points. This now appears to be very doubtful.

I am certain this 2nd half will be very exciting for you there in the stadium and being a 49ers fan hehehe.

What a nail biter, I didn't look at the score until after the game.

I was dreading Deebo putting up a last second TD and had a feeling it was literally that close between us!

Great Season!

[nutildah]

Awesome game between Ravens and Niners -- possibly the two best teams in the league right now. That's a great pic DireWolf. Even though your team lost, I'm sure it was a lot of fun to be there.

I forgot there was 18 games this season, and we still have one more fantasy league game to go. Gonna be a showdown between two excellent teams. Good luck to both of you, whatever that means.

With any luck I can still win the consolation bracket and be the best loser, wee.

It was an awesome time.  My youngest brother and I drove down early and cruised the stadium, then got a text from my other brother who had gotten tickets from his wife just that morning.  We went to loiter by their seats for a while, and my sister-in-law showed us the video of my brother opening his gift that morning.  The look on his face was priceless.

Someone else we know got us into the Union Club where it was quite the party scene.  We ran into some other people I hadn't seen in over 20 years, and met some random people we ended up partying with for a little while.  Even though the Niners were struggling everybody was in a festive mood, and having lots of fun.  

I think that was probably a preview of the Superbowl, but I hope the results will be different if I'm right about that.


Congrats on the Fantasy win @morvillz7z and @Hueristic!
