That is the beauty about the NFL and Fantasy Football - there is one game for each team each week. It just fits perfectly - it is like the perfect combination of March Madness and MLB. There is one match-up each week, and that is it! You could have the best team and it still could lose, because it is a one week match-up and who knows what can happen. What a wonderful world we live in - grown men gambling on other grown men, that they own, performing physical activities. Sounds like a slippery slope....
White Condomints (3-1) v Robert 3-Woods (2-2)
Robert 3-Woods is the quarterback whisperer - he has always seemed to know exactly when and who to play in a given week. He decides to sit Fitzpatrick, who was on a hot streak all season long, Fitzy gets benched at halftime. He decides to play Wentz this week, he throw for 350 and two touchdowns.
On the flip side, WC is only averaging 14 points a week from that position. The quarterback is suppose to be the position you don't have to worry about - thanks a lot Tannehill! Nonetheless, it was not needed this week as WC had big weeks from Hopkins and Cohen. Matt Nagy, Bears head coach, who is apart of the Andy Reid coaching tree - is finally realizing the potential Cohen has - just keep using him!!
Prediction: White Condomints wins....RIGHT!!
Competitor's Prediction: Robert 3-Woods....WRONG!!
Mike McCarthy is Gay (0-4) v Prible is my B**ch (2-2)
The Battle of the Acronyms is complete.
This is kind of like when you are playing basketball and two teams are arguing about a call. Neither team will back down, typically is basically one guy on the team won't back down and everyone doesn't care. Eventually that one guy gets outnumbered and begrudgingly checks the ball back to the opposing team. The team then precedes to airmail a shot from the corner and the basketball bounces out of bounds. In turn, the one guy who felt he was right all along shouts, "Ball don't lie! Ball don't lie!"
I am that guy, "Acronym don't lie! Acronym don't lie!"
Prediction: PIMB wins....RIGHT!!
Competitor's Prediction: PIMB wins....RIGHT!!
Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood (3-1) v Hoosier Daddy (2-2)
Uhhhhh, wow! Talk about sending a message early in the season. Hey, if you don't take notice of what just happened in this league - yes, I am talking to you Mounsey (you probably don't even read this anyways), then you really don't pay attention.
I am fairly positive in the 5 years that this league has been running, we have never seen a 190.4 points in one week. In fact, I am going to go back and create a record book for this league, the link will be on the main page - on the right hand side. You can count on this being in there.
Cousins and Kupp got things started with each player having an outstanding Thursday night. Bernard and Barkley both had a good game - but the real surprise this week for Mr. Rodgers: James White. Everybody was looking Sony "Playstation" Michel to take over the Patriots backfield - NAH BABY NAH!! James White had a killer game!
I feel bad for Hoosier Daddy, who now leads the league in points against, and it is not really close. Hoosier Daddy has now faced the leading point scorer for the week in two out of the first four weeks, not exactly a recipe for success.
Result: Hoosier Daddy wins...WRONG!!
Competitors Prediction: Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood wins....RIGHT!!
Steady Diet (4-0) v Team Dez Nuts (2-2)
I feel as though this can not be understated enough: Steady Diet always has a big week from at least one player. Don't get me wrong, it is a rough loss for Team Dez Nuts - but 137.5 would have only beaten one winner this week. Once again, I applaud our league!!
Doesn't it kind of old for you Steady Diet? I mean why not just take Kamara out of the lineup and make things fair for everybody else. For as much as Patrick Mahomes has been talked about, and as good as he has been playing - Kamara is still outscoring him by an average of 5 points a week. Kamara is averaging 34 points a week, 34 POINTS! That is enough to make up for how bad Miller is as his running back counterpart.
On the flip side, how is the big trade for Dez Nuts working out? Luck performed, Jags performed, Lockett and JuJu were both average. The drop-off? Gonkowski. Who would have thought that was the weak point in the package deal? I would still be extremely happy if I was Team Dez Nuts, 137.5 points is nothing to shake you head at, some teams are struggling to score half that total!
Prediction: Team Dez Nuts wins.... WRONG!!
Competitor's Prediction: Steady Diet wins... RIGHT!!
Sagging TD's (1-3) v Hernandez Hit Men (4-0)
I am fairly positive we all saw this coming. Not to this extent, but yes - one team is far superior than the other.
First, not that it would have mattered, never would I have predicted Drew Brees to only score 8.6 points this week. Not good, just not good. Second, once again it would not have mattered, Watkins and Cook both get injured and forced out of the game. Third, this does matter, Sagging is battling two other teams for the worst team in the league - this week they took a step closer to that title.
What is there to be said about HHM that we don't already know. Melly Gordon is a beast. Golden Tate will be boom or bust, and this week was a boom week. Landry looks much better with Mayfield slinging the pigskin. Normally, I would not be in favor of starting three Browns players, but the way this offense is looking - I would take more!!
Prediction: Hernandez Hit Men wins....RIGHT!!
Competitor's Prediction: Hernandez Hit Men wins....RIGHT!!
Col. Erran Morad (0-4) v I AM STUPID (3-1)
I AM STUPID picked a good week to have an off week. This was a close matchup, and you would have never thought it was going to be after Thursday Night Football.
After Thursday...
I AM STUPID: 73.7 point (3 guys played)
Col. Erran Morad: 7 points (1 guy played)
Things were not looking good, but hey, if we hand out moral victories - Col. Morad's men rallied in the second half of the week. Corey Davis had a huge week both in real football and fantasy football. At the same time this was happening, Trubisky was throwing the ball all over Tampa Bay's defense. This then cause a stir of emotion in the owner, I watch the games with him on Sunday's. He might be the most heartfelt owner out there - all the "I AM STUPID" fans appreciate that he pours his heart and soul into the team. The concerned owner was much relieved when Sanders once again outperformed Thomas on Monday.
This left us with the current worst team, still undefeated - you will get there little buddy! We all believe in you!!
Prediction: I AM STUPID wins... RIGHT!!

Matchup of the Week
ImPickingARod @5SucItBob (1-3) v The J-Bones (1-3)
What could go wrong, did go wrong - and what could go right, did go right.
Talk about a way to get your first win @5SucIt, dropping 146.7 points in one week will definitely get you some notice. It was a great week for Elliott - and a fantastic return for Jeffrey! Jeffrey was drafted in the early rounds and was injured, but patience is a virtue, and it paid off! Maybe you should change your team name, since clearly Rodgers is not your best player.
Stafford showed up and had a good week - as for everyone else, yikes! To be fair, you really can not ask for much more out of Smallwood. Vance McD was not stiff the life out of defenders this week - but he is still a respectable play at the TE position. In all reality, it was not a good sign for the week when you started -9 after Thursday night's game! Who would have thought that you would would have lost in that position battle to another defense that scored zero points..... yikes again!
This now leaves us with two undefeated teams. In my heart of hearts I want each of you to win, just not when you play against my team!!
Result: ImPickingARod @5SucitBob wins....RIGHT
Competitor Prediction: The J-Bones....WRONG
Overall Record: 14-7
Competitor's Record: 12-9
