To be completely fair, I wrote a beginning entry before last night's game. So if you want to jump down to the original entry, jump down to the asterisks. However, last night was a big night....
Let's hear it for Drew Brees. Honestly, I love Peyton Manning. It does suck that it was his record that was broken, but if you had to handpick the quarterback to break any of his records - it would be Drew Brees.
Brees is an undersized, under-hyped, career derailed by injury quarterback that needs to stand on his tippy-toes to see over his lineman. Yet, somehow he has made the impossible, possible! I am genuinely happy for Drew Brees! Plus, his wife is not too bad on the eyes!
The Green Bay Packers lost by eight points...
Mason Crosby missed four field goals and one extra point. Now, I am no math major - but I think that the 13 points that Crosby cost his team make be able to make up for the eight points GB lost by. Yes, I get it - you can't say that because everything changes in the game. Sure it does, the entire game changes - more than likely Green Bay wins!
However, Crosby did miss four field goals and the Green Bay Packers did lose to the Detroit Lions. But can you blame him? I mean the dude looks like the before picture of a "Just for Men" commercial. Does he use a cane to get to the spot to kick the ball? I wonder if he gets a senior citizen discount at the concession stands at halftime? Do you think he has to be reminded to take his pills in the morning?
I kid, I kid - to be fair Mason Crosby is only 34 years old. In fact, that is younger than most of my readers... yes I assuming all of your ages! For whatever reason Crosby just happens to have gray hair at a fairly young age. Check-out ole' iron sides himself....
Anyways, enough talking about somebody's grandpa - let's get to the results....
White Condomints (4-1) v Mike McCarthy is Gay (0-5)
Hey, look who is back in the backfield for the New Orleans Saints, I guess those PED's helped him prepare for his big debut!
You know if it was me, and I knew that PED's would make me better - I might take them. Think about it, if you take them and get better faster, then serve a four game suspension - you are at least better and have better chance of earning more money. Hell, Le'Veon Bell is sitting out - why not take PED's instead of holding out for a contract issue, at least this way he could be getting better. Maybe I am wrong, no....wait....I'm never wrong!
White Condomints just barely snuck by MMIG - thanks to the big debut from Mark Ingram. MMIG had a big week from Drake, Brady, Thielen, and Hooper - but it still wasn't enough to get the win. What does this guy gotta do? Hey, MMIG would have beaten seven other opponents - just unlucky it wasn't the one he was playing this week!
Prediction: White Condomints wins....RIGHT!!
Competitor's Prediction: White Condomints....RIGHT!!
Hoosier Daddy (2-3) v Prible is my B**ch (3-2)
Hoosier Daddy has Todd Gurley - who is amazing!! Hoosier Daddy has Russell Wilson - who is great!! Aaaaaannnnndddddd, the list stops there.
Todd Gurley outscored the rest of Hoosier Daddy's team (not including Wilson)! Unfortunately, Hoosier Daddy was not playing his own team - he was playing Prible is my B**ch. PIMB had a huge week from OBJ - who happen to throw and catch a touchdown. Let me first say this....
As cool as it is for running backs or receivers to throw for touchdowns, and it is very cool, it is not necessarily a good thing for fantasy. A passion touchdown is worth less than a receiving or rushing touchdown. Passing yards are worth less than receiving or rushing yards. But hey, the play is cool! OBJ's saving grace was not his passing touchdown, it was his eight receptions for 131 yards and a touchdown. PIMB put together a solid week, but still would not have beaten half of the other teams. Look PIMB to be active on the trading block this week - hoping to improve in the running back position.
Prediction: Prible is my B**ch wins....RIGHT!!
Competitor's Prediction: Prible is my B**ch wins....RIGHT!!
Team Dez Nuts (2-3) v The J-Bones (2-3)
It looks like James Connor has finally awoken from his mini-slumber and exploded in a huge way!
The J-Bones look like a much different team who James Connor plays like a Steelers running back should play. It also helps that the Bengals defense happen to outscore any one player on Dez Nuts team. This team will be one to watch with Ajayi going on IR and Smallwood looking like the best back in the Eagles backfield at the moment.
Dez Nuts is on a three game slide and needs to find a way to correct the ship. However, to that standpoint Dez Nuts has been in the top half of points scored each week. Dez Nuts has a losing record, but has scored more points than point scored against - tough scheduling for a team with multiple studs in the line-up.
Prediction: Team Dez Nuts wins....WRONG!!
Competitor's Prediction: The J-Bones wins... RIGHT!!
Hernandez Hit Men (5-0) v UrBlogIsWeak SucItAtkins (1-4)
As stated in the predictions for this week, one of these teams is the front runner for "Top Team." There are so many different players that could have great weeks for Hernandez Hit Men - Gordon, McCaffrey, Hyde, Mahomes. Not to mention, that Ebron is looking better and better each passing week.
UrBlogIsWeak is a struggling team that is currently outside the playoff cut-line. Rivers and Elliott are the only bright spots in this lineup, but if they don't have a huge week this team will struggle to compete. There is no help from any other position. Just follow these instructions.....
Step 1. Light match
Step 2. Drop match into trashcan
Step 3. Drop starting lineup into trashcan
Prediction: Hernandez Hit Men....RIGHT!!
Competitor's Prediction: Hernandez Hit Men....RIGHT!!
Robert 3-Woods (2-3) v Steady Diet (5-0)
Steady Diet still remains one of two teams that are unbeaten, three cheers for them!
Everyone knew this week would come, Kamara has an off week. However, when it happened - Yeldon had a big week! Steady Diet remains unbeaten but he should be thanking his lucky stars that he was playing R3W this week - Steady Diet would have lost to nine other teams this week, but all you can do is beat the team in front you!
R3W needs to fix his lineup - without FitzMagic dominating, this lineup is going to be struggling! Ajayi is on the IR - Hines will be a good replacement, but I am still not sure that will be enough to make a run through the playoffs!
Prediction: Steady Diet wins.... RIGHT!!
Competitor's Prediction: Robert 3-Woods.... WRONG!!
Col. Erran Morad (1-4) v Sagging TD's (1-4)
Who is the world saw this coming?!? In a matchup between two of the worst teams, the most points scored was in this matchup.
It was a very consistent week throughout the entire lineup for Col. Morad. Everyone, with the exception of Jared Cook, performed above average and that it what was needed! On the flip side, let's take a look at a trade that was made for Sagging TD's....
Which side of the trade would you take...
A) 7th best TE, who has scored 57.8 points and is averaging 11.6 points per week
B) 12th best RB, who has scored 78.6 points and is averaging 15.7 points per week
16th best WR, who has scored 87.8 points and is averaging 17.6 points per week
SOOOOOOO, WHO FLEECED WHO??? WHO HIT ON A WR THAT WAS DRAFTED 109th OVERALL AND IS CURRENTLY RANKED AS THE 41st PLAYER OVERALL??
Nonetheless, even with Crowell rushing for 200+ yards and Brees throwing for three touchdowns - it still was not enough.
Prediction: Sagging TD's wins....WRONG!!
Competitor's Prediction: Sagging TD's wins....WRONG!!
Matchup of the Week
I AM STUPID v Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood
So much for a Matchup of the Week.....
Matt Ryan did win the matchup against Kirk Cousins, even though the Falcons offense looked awful. As predicted.
Barkley/Breida easily won their matchup, even with Breida leaving the game. Huge game for Barkley.
As predicted.
Kupp/Rogers narrowly escaped their matchup against Thomas/Diggs. This was a huge upset in terms of WR matchups.
Not as predicted.
Njoku won his matchup. This was a coin flip - neither one dominates.
WHITE CRUSHED COOKS - easy money.
As predicted.
You would think that with all the "as predicted" in the results post I would have gotten this one correct, however....
Prediction: I AM STUPID wins....WRONG!!
Competitor's Prediction: Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood wins...RIGHT!!
Overall Record: 18-10
Competitor's Record: 17-11
