Week 3 Predictions

Let me be real honest - my mind is on other things. Like.... HOW I AM GOING TO THE MUTHAF*CKIN RYDER CUP!! Some of you may know about golf and other probably think that it is a waste of land space. However, the Ryder Cup is unlike any other golf experience - the closest is the hooliganism on Hole 16 at the Waste Management Open. 

At the Ryder Cup, fans yell and cheer just like any other sporting event. The Ryder Cup is no place for golf claps and proper attire. The Ryder Cup is like a scene straight out of Happy Gilmore. It is a place full of heckling and yelling and USA chants. If you don't believe me, here are is a matchup from the 2016 Ryder Cup....

Essentially, the Ryder Cup is the best players in the world (obviously, only from USA and Europe - but is there anyone good from anywhere else???) and they battle it out in front of thousands of drunk fans.... are we sure this is football?

Matchup of the Week

Fresh Start* (2-0) v Hoosier Daddy? (1-1)

Welcome to the big-time gentleman! Fresh Start is coming off a huge belt win from last week in the battle of the former champions. Many would have thought that Fresh Start would have started off the season slow - waiting for a few players to come back from injury - instead they are 2-0 and looking to keep the train rolling. However, they now face a team with an Allen/Diggs stack and Ekeler facing the KC Chiefs. The Chiefs have struggled to stop any rushing attack and Ekeler is in for a big week. Hockenson is the number one receiver in Detroit and the Browns get to play the Bears offense... I am not sure which is better at scoring points in Chicago, the defense or the offense? There are too many favorable matchups for Hoosier Daddy and I like the upset in this MotW.

Prediction: Hoosier Daddy?

The Fortune Cockies (1-1) v Country Roads (2-0)

The Fortune Cockies are one Derrick Henry away from being 0-2 to start the season; instead TFC is 1-1 and looking to build from here. There are plenty of great matchups across the board for TFC; Pittman against Tennessee, Waller against Miami, Henry against Indianapolis, Golladay against Atlanta. On the flip side, Country Roads has a few tough matchups; Kamara against New England, McLaurin against Buffalo, and Jefferson against Seattle. Too many tough defenses for Country Roads and too many comfy matchups for The Fortune Cockies.

Prediction: The Fortune Cockies

Mystery Guest: Country Roads

Bluffton Backup Backups (2-0) v The J-Bones (1-1)

This is a battle between 2 teams that are in the top five when it comes to scoring points. Both the rosters have enough depth to consistently score in the upper half of the league. At this point - you could essentially flip a coin.... which I did..... aaaaannnnnnnndddddddddd.......

Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas (1-1) v Dixie Normous (0-2)

Unless something drastic happens for Dixie - this team is looking at starting 0-3 and not getting a win any time soon. Now, lest we forget this is not unfamiliar territory. This is the same team that earned the nickname "The Cooler" because of his ability to beat teams while finishing in the bottom three scores for the week. Not to mention the fact that Mahomes and Hill create one of the deadliest stacks in fantasy football. Ain't no way I am picking against Mahomes after his first loss and first interception - Patty is gonna come out firing!

Prediction: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas

DK Country (0-2) v Church Vans (2-0)

Hey, Church Vans guess what? I AIN'T PICKING YOU AGAIN THIS WEEK. DK is a very, very good 0-2 team. They have had nearly 300 points scored against them, they have also scored 250 points throughout the first two weeks. If there was a 2nd RB for this team - this team would be nearly untouchable. However, because there is not a solid 2nd option - that does leave a little opening for Church Vans to creep in and steal away a win this week. I am taking the upset this week.... I am taking Murray to continue the one man show.... I am taking Metcalf to finally have the Lockett type week... I am taking Moore to start things off with a big night on TNF.

Prediction: DK Country

PEN15 Wrinkle (1-1) v Teardrop TD's (0-2)

Teardrop TD's is a team that has a couple big name players that may need to be moved for more depth. Jackson is a big-time QB, but the man needs some help. Chubb has been having a good season and hopefully should continue - because this week I am jumping all over those TD's. I think that Jackson and Chubb continue the big week and this is the week that Lamb finds himself with over 100 yards and finally gets that receiving touchdown. I am picking the upset this week - I don't like the Evans and Jones agains the Rams defense. I haven't liked Barkley all season long. Kittle is a great football player - but he is not necessarily what I would look for in a fantasy player. Bring those TD's to my house and let daddy get some milk!

Prediction: Teardrop TD's

Ankle Holster (0-2) v Hernandez Hit Men (1-1)

I will forever stop picking Ankle Holster - is there a team worse? Yes, that would be Dixie Normous - but Ankle is not that far behind. It doesn't help that Green Bay plays San Francisco - which is a formidable defense. On the flip side, there is just so much opportunity for big time plays. HHM was an Aaron Jones away from winning the belt. Look for this trend to continue and HHM to compete for the belt again this week.

Prediction: Hernandez Hit Men

Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster

As always, I wish everyone good luck - except for Country Roads, may your entire roster burn in a fiery helicopter crash eerily similar to the one that took down Kobe!

With Love,
