Holy shit Not sure how I got so lucky!

Happy Thanksgiving All

A pretty good first game and now it looks like the Cowboys have a good chance of upsetting the Chiefs.

It also looks like my road to 10 wins will be a bit more bumpy than I expected as the Psilons are putting up a pretty good fight. We could theoretically have a 4-way tie for 1st in a couple of weeks, unless Hueristic's Barbarians smokes us all and runs away with it.

@nutildah. It appears that you are correct hehehe. Was the Chief a big favorite for this game? I cannot find a reason why this would be true. The Chiefs are not very good this year and it might be shocking for their fans that they are only 3rd in their division behind the Chargers.

This has given the Chargers a chance on the wild card heheheh.

KC was a 3.5 point favorite. The way Dallas has been playing this last couple weeks I ended up taking Dallas str8 up and the over in the Ravens game. Got the Cowboys but this ravens/Cincy game is a shitshow.

Chargers have a chance at the wildcard for sure but they aren't exactly healthy and cannot protect Herbert all that well against a good pass rush.

@yahoo62278. What was the over on the Bengals vs. the Ravens? It appears the Bengals scored enough points to win your over?

On the Chargers, agreed. I only want to see them enter the playoff, however. My expectations on them is very low for this season hehehe.

In any case, on our fantasy league, I am shocked that I am presently leading against Eli-2 Brady-2! I thought my team does not have a chance.

The o/u was 52.5, fell 1 td short and there were so many missed opportunities by both teams to put more points on the board. Almost felt sick after the 1st half was so low scoring from all the turnovers to see them get so close there at the end of the game. Both teams are in really bad positions for the playoffs though.

Week 13 is almost over, only 4 more weeks until the playoffs.  The playoff picture is starting to become more clear.  In the AFC I predict the Pats are going to be the #1 seed.  In the NFC, I suspect it'll be the Rams.  

Here are my predictions:

I thought I will be having a small victory for this week, however, again DK Metcalf has not performed as projected by Yahoo Fantasy. This is mental manipulation, I reckon hehehehe.

Also, Jeanty has not performed as expected. This was a very disappointing week after seeing that I had a chance when week 13 began. Congratulations to Eli 2 Brady 0 hehe.

[nutildah]

^^^
so close, always disappointing to lose by such a small margin.

I had a couple of disappointing performances and then some mid performances and now stand a good chance of losing to the Psilons. It all depends on how well New England and in particular Treveyon Henderson does tomorrow. Will be a good game.

Ha. Was this screenshot taken in a parallel universe where the Rams don't exist?

[DireWolfM14]

What's Jackson Dart's necklace worth? 

[nutildah]

I'm currently up by 3.5 points with half a game to go. Psilons have Henderson RB and Patriots DEF. If Henderson gets a TD, I'll almost certainly lose. I could lose anyway unless the Giants score at least 1 more time. And also hopefully the Giants don't cough up any more turnovers.

I have to give it up to the Psilons. They have a super deep bench, with 80+ points left on the bench this week. What a way to come back: from 0-6 start to 6-6 and now probably 7-6. Well done.

I just told Yahoo, I'm concerned they are gonna make the playoffs and kick my Ass!

Insane comeback, literally the best I have ever seen in all my years playing.

Gotta give Paully his kudo's, nothing better than a guy that won't quit and fights to the end.

[DireWolfM14]

Congrats to the Barbarians for clinching a spot on the playoffs.

The Bowlers fell to second place, and even though they're 9-4 they still need one more win the clinch.  Psilon's comeback with 7 straight wins is Legendary, but he's one place out of contention at the moment.  If he scores 20 points more Burrowhead this week, he'll take the last spot with only one week left.

[bbc.reporter]

@DireWolfM14. Agreed! Congrats to @Hueristic! This barbarian is very much dominant for this season. However, the playoff will be different. We cannot underestimate @nutildah's Bit Bowlers.

I reckon it might be good to have these players in your active team that might be included in the wildcard if they will win the last 2 weeks of the regular season because they will play like demons and try to enter the playoff heheheeh.

[Hueristic]

Thanks guys!

Feels good after last years last place showing!

From Worst to First: Heuristic - A Cinderella Story

You have as many roster changes as last season, if not more, I can't be arsed to check. Seems like it paid off this time. Congrats!

Do I really need one more win? We have 2 weeks left. Given they will win their last 2 matchups, Eli-2 Brady-0 will undoubtedly lock up a spot. If Burrowhead, ChiBitCTy and Psilons win 2, they end 9-6. If I lose 2, I end 9-6. We could theoretically have a 4-way tie for the other 2 spots, in which case the playoff spots will go to whoever has scored the most Points For across the season.

In my other league, the playoffs start this week and I'm at a 10-point handicap to my opponent. Mathematically speaking, there are several different combinations of players I can have on my roster to score more points than him - they are out there - its just that nobody knows what these combinations are ahead of time. Still, I will kick myself if I don't do it, because I know its doable.

Good luck to all who need it.

[Hueristic]

OK, It's coming down to the wire guys and I think everyone should be paid up before we know the playoff teams.

[VashaUdacha777]

Just a little more time to wait and we’ll finally know all the playoff matchups. Before the season started, I bet 5 bucks on the Patriots to win it all, and it’s crazy how underestimated this team was by the bookmakers. I watched highlights of their recent games and now I’ve basically become a fan of this team. I really hope to see them in the Super Bowl.

Gl, they were like 4 win team last year, that's why.

His account says he has been on recently so I guess he just doesn't feel like talking to us.

My account has a script running that makes me look like I'm logged in when I'm not, don't trust it.

Sorry guys and gals, I've been dealing with some tough stuff IRL, so haven't really been able to participate here or anywhere online for quite a while. Enjoy the easy wins!
