Damn.. what a monster start for the Ayahuasca Brewers. 75.7 points across Josh Allen and James Cook. What a combo. He also has Derrick Henry, who may yet again be a beast this year.

What do you think about the line being 13.5 for the Miami/SF game? Seems really high for Week 2, even though the Dolphins will apparently be a sucky team again this year. I have to take Miami just to keep things spicy.

My other spicy take is that the Raiders beat the Chargers in L.A. Somehow the Raiders are still more of an LA team than the Chargers. I will put a small bet on Raiders to win with low-to-mild expectations.

I'll be honest, I love the way the 49ers are looking this year so far. I think they can cover vs Miami. Contain Achane and it's a lock. As far as the Raiders go, I am not ready to give up on Mcdaniels as Offensive coordinator just yet. If they have a poor showing this week then I think Jim Harbaugh might need to rethink his coordinator hire.

I like Baker Mayfield to beat up on his old team the Browns. 7.5 I think is the line, I think the Bucs cover it.

If you told me last year I'd be fielding young I'd have called you insane but here we are.

I did not look at my team and I was very shocked to see that my tightend has a red O beside his name heheheh. However, I am lucky that the Psilon team did not perform according to Yahoo's rating expectations hehehe.

In any case, I speculate that the Giants' performance tomorrow will prove that they have the right Harbaugh. They might not win the game but they might beat the spread. The game might be something similar to what we are witnessing presently on the Colts vs. The Chiefs.

So far my new strategy for the draft appears to be working;

1. no shrooms
2. profit

We'll see how things progress as the season develops.  I just hope my two primary RBs can stay healthy.  I sacrificed WRs for RBs for my first series of picks.  My thinking was that I could always pick up a reasonably good WR as the season matures, and there's always some rookie that everyone overlooked in the draft that surprises everyone.  The trouble I have is that I tend to be slow with the waiver wire, and Hueristic and Mo are usually on top of things.

Definitely pleased with my start this year, I hope I can keep it up.

The barbarians are having a much better week 2 than they did the opening week.  Yet another scary team to worry about.

Sorry for the off topic but somehow this post reminds me of this  :

Well Like I told Frisco, I ain't letting no nub come in here and dominate us!

Also asked him who drafted your team cause it couldn't have been you!

And yeah there is a glut of WR's right now.

I did not look at my team and I was very shocked to see that my tightend has a red O beside his name heheheh.

Surprised me to see you didnt swap him out, it was known all week he might not play.

[nutildah]

A win is a win and I'll take it, but Nacua (and the Rams K) still has to do as good or better than Skatteboo... This will make today's game even more interesting. And I of course have to bet on the Rams in some way to add to the one-sided dopaminergic response.

Yeah congrats to the 3 beastly teams this week... you are harvesting some great draft fruit.

Boom...

I'm not showing my 2 losses, since I didn't mention betting on them.

But I blame one of them on Greg Rosenthal of ESPN and the NFL Daily podcast (it used to be called "Around the NFL"). He talked me into taking the Steelers based on their Game 1 "momentum"... I'd picked the Pats to cover but reversed it and also bet on the Steelers to cover. Dunno what I was thinking... Sometimes you have to stick with your gut. I'm sure he'll technically outperform me this season anyway. Dude is really smart. Its a solid podcast.


edit: damn, Puca ruled out!

[Hueristic]

Wow I went out with my wife yesterday then went to bed soon after getting home but checked my teams and saw psilons losing big time but I made it close. Not sure what I'll do with the waiver pick. Maybe I'll go for drew lock if he's available and have the lock Pitts stack!!

I reckon that as an afterthought, giving more priority all on running backs or all on wide receivers might be a good tactic on the draft with 2 flex slots available because you can use all 4 of them at the same time heheheh. I will try to remember this next year.

@Hueristic. Yes, I was very lucky Paully did not get enough points on the end of the week 2 hehehehe.

Sorry Paully.

[nutildah]

This is too good not to share


ripe hour of Thursday??

Indeed, it was a real Turd Bowl for me and yahoo yesterday, with the score flipping back and forth, dependent on who was doing worse: the Rams kicker or Cam Skatteboo. Even though my kicker missed an easy field goal, Skatteboo did slightly worse, but it wasn't totally his fault, with Jackson (Jaxson?) Dart injured early in the game. Anyway it was a real nailbiter lol.

[Hueristic]

SHIT! I can't believe Paully didnt grab Kelce!!!

I didnt even put him as my waiver one because I thought no way he would be there!

Paully rolling with Pitts is insane to me!

Damn I would have played Kelce in a flex spot, I'm a dummy.

Imagine a week playing McBride, Kelce and Juwan, lol that would have been hilarious.

[bbc.reporter]

Kelce was available in the waiver wire? I did not notice this! I was looking for a tightend to play while Bower was out, however, I applied for the first man on the list! Kelce taken from the waiver wire was not on my expectations list before this season hehhehe.


However yes, I had him last year, I reckon when I drafted 9th. I wanted to be first on the best quarterback and the best tightend because everyone has drafted the best widereceivers and the best runningbacks already.

[nutildah]

I have Jordan Love and Drake Maye on 2 teams, gonna start Love for the other team and see what happens. Maye hasn't been looking too hot so far.

I can't believe the line is -4.5 Packers for today's game, had to take it. It was a good deal at -5.5, its a better deal now. Wonder how things could go wrong. Let's find out.

Something is wrong with Green Bay, they have looked like trash the whole season so far. Jordan Love just doesn't have it for some reason. You would have thought that 6.5 points vs Atlanta was gonna be an easy game, but Penix coming back seems to have the Falcons playing inspired. Green bay is about to be 1-2.

Love got 19.48 points in the season opener. Since then he's been not so impressive. 13.80 points in week 2 and 7.84 points so far tonight. Lucky for you you haven't put him in yet in our league. I think he will get better later in the season but he's having a rough start.

**EDIT**

Semi impressive opening drive here in the 2nd half.

Yeah you were right... dammit. Well sometimes I need to experience things myself to learn them the hard way. Who knew it would be against the Falcons, not me, but maybe I should have given Bijan had a monster performance.

[yahoo62278]

I changed my mind and no longer am for letting this new guy in. Please remove him and erase the 45 points that Bijan got against me tonight lmao. Frisco I hope the rest of your team gets a 24 hour flu.

Haha, damn glad Bijan didn't face GB last week!

Greenbay couldn't stop an old lady with a walker.

Congrats frisco that was a monster performance.

I just messaged paully "Pitts sux, that is all. "

I think he's regretting not grabbing Kelce now.

*at least he didnt field pitts.
