Soooooooooooo..... every week I list the games in the NFL on the whiteboard. I pick who I think is going to win each game and then some senior boys write their initials for their picks. Usually, it goes back and forth between who wins the most games - winner gets a Gatorade. Neither here nor there. Although, one things has stood out....
Three weeks ago, the Carolina Panthers played the Houston Texans. Everyone and their mother picked the Texans to win the game. In fact, one senior actually wrote "They are terrible!" next to the Carolina Panthers. Guess who won that game? The Carolina Panthers
Earlier this week, that same senior wrote "This game is a lock!" next to the Tennessee Titans... they lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Just wait, two times is coincidence - but three?
Then before the MNF game, someone wanted to test the jinxing theory and they wrote "This game is a lock!" next to the Buffalo Bills. In fact, I pointed it out to the seniors in homeroom and everyone agreed that if the jinx is real - Denver would somehow win. Did you watch the game?!?!?!? The Bills should have won - it was literally in her mouth and the kids walked in.
Jinxed.
Matchup of the Week
Gluten Douches (2-8) v Ankle Holster (4-6)
Well, well, well. Looks like we got ourselves a little upset in the building. Ekeler finally remembered how to play football and the Atlanta Falcons started to give their best player the ball more often. However, T. Lawrence really screwed the pooch and even though the Douches won this week - Lawrence lost the matchup to Love and ended costing GD's manager $5. Plenty of "if's" "and's" or "but's" with players on Ankle Holster's bench that could have played and won the matchup for them. If I were him, I would stay up all night just thinking about the opportunity that slipped away this week.
Prediction: Gluten Douches... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster.... WRONG!!
Njigbas in Paris*** (7-3) v Hoosier Daddy (4-6)
Well, it seems that Njigbas in Paris were a little upset that all the talk of the league was about Titties....
"How's about some chattin' about the field Njigbas?"
Okay, okay - I will buy a couple Njigbas for around the house. Specifically, I would purchase K. Allen and A. St. Brown. Those wide receivers know how to play football and their offenses move the ball. The pass catchers will be what carries this squad deep in the playoffs.
Prediction: Njigbas in Paris... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Njigbas in Paris... RIGHT!
No Time for Love (6-4) v East/West TD's** (6-4)
Who would have thought that a team with their kicker wins a matchup and also beats out 7 other teams... wild. It does help that he also had Kamara who scored nearly 20 and 3 others that scored nearly 15 points. A thing consistency is big right now - and Titties is now facing a 2 games losing streak. Run CMC did his job, buuuuuuuuttttttt nobody else did. The 49ers defense made the Jacksonville offense look lost - and that includes Etienne. Titties will need to bounce back quickly, things are quickly unraveling.
Prediction: East/West TD's... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: No Time for Love.... RIGHT!!
Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams* (6-4) v Insert Team Name Here (5-5)
If there was a week to play ARBL it may have been this week. They welcome back Hurts and Jefferson next week and it looks like they will be at full strength. That makes this team a little more scary with Hurts/Jefferson/Taylor and the 49ers defense. The problem after that for ARBL is it is a complete crapshoot who else to play. For Team Name, this is a big win - keeping them completely in the middle of the race for the playoffs. It is always nice to secure a win when you have no player scoring above 20 points - that shows the consistency of your lineup. Do I sense a QB battle between K1 and Baker???
Prediction: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams... WRONG!!
The J-Bones** (5-5) v I Miss Tom Brady (5-5)
Where did the middle part of The J-Bones lineup go?!?!? Herbert scores 28 points and Foreman gets 17 points - but everybody in between stayed below 10 points. Also, I would like to take a little credit for the QB swap (even though I may had nothing to do with it). I did write about how I did not like the Geno Smith play and he went with Josh Dobbs... who did outscore Geno (by less than 2 points). Mattison did struggle Singletary picked up the slack.
Prediction: The J-Bones... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: The J-Bones... WRONG!!
Handy Rudgins (4-6) v Ertz when Eifert (5-5)
It is funny that a team that has a losing record has scored more than 120 points in 3 of the last 4 weeks. The week that he did not reach that benchmark, he scored 80 points. Even further, 2 of the last 3 weeks he has scored more than 145 points. When they are hot, they are hot.... catch him on a cold week and you are golden. On the flip side, Ertz had some big weeks from some unexpected names... Brian Robinson and Tyler Lockett. Some of you might be thinking, Lockett is a fairly big name? Not this year. He is not even a top 20 wide receiver, and has nearly double the amount of times less than 10 points than more than 20 points. However, this week - he came up big.... just happen to catch Handy on the wrong week.
Prediction: Handy Rudgins... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Handy Rudgins... RIGHT!!
I Hate Chad G (4-6) v PEN15 Wrinkle* (7-3)
Is there a hotter stack than Prescott and Lamb? No. To think that Wrinkle scored 135 points with 3 points from King Henry. Not that it was really needed, Team Hatred struggled this week... not even breaking 90 total points. It is amazing the rawdogging that Wrinkle complained happened to him after the draft and here he is sitting atop the Limp Bizkit division. Hell, I would get rawdogged for one win, let alone top of the division, right about now!!
Prediction: PEN15 Wrinkle... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: PEN15 Wrinkle... RIGHT!!
With Love

Season: 32-38
Mystery Guest: 38-32
GD Top Drafted RB: J. Jacobs - 145.5 points
