Week 8 Results

Don't worry, things will get back to normal... you will get your weekly readings of the blog for the fantasy league. I can be on vacation every week - although I believe that is called retirement and who says you can't retire at the age of 38? A few things to note during our Fall Break week....

A) Texas is really nice this time of the year - like wayyyyyyyy better than Indiana. Everything is bigger, weather is warmer, gas is cheaper.

B) Vacation with extended family can really drive a grown man insane. When your niece constantly wants to play and your sister is always complaining about something. Don't worry, at least you have your senile father to have no idea what is going on.

C) Johnathan Taylor is really good at football.... the past 2 weeks: 247 rushing yards/5 touchdowns and that doesn't even include his reception numbers.

D) There are ways to gamble, even when in states that don't allow sports gambling. DraftKings Pick6 is a legal gambling app that can be used in all states. 

E) Once fathers hit the age of 65... they lose their ability to hold their pee. 3 stops on the side of the freeway and struggle to get back in the van in the middle of the night and we finally made it back to Indiana.

Matchup of the Week

Bootay Pirates (3-5) v AR's Finger* (2-6)

When you have 4 players score in the 20's and only one of those scored less than 25 points - you have a pretty high chance of winning. To be honest, if Croskey-Merritt would have done anything productive, Bootay Pirates could have had the belt. This is a massive turn around from a team left dead to rights in the early portion of the season. On the flip side, AR's Finger constantly finds themselves with matchups that are not beneficial, giving them the most scored against points in the league. Somebody had to win this and not Bootay Pirates is catapulted into the playoff race.

Prediction: Bootay Pirates.... RIGHT!!

Nips and Salsa (6-2) v Cleveland Streamers* (3-5)

Let's be honest, this is Nips and Salsa's JV team and they put up a good fight. Nips had a potential 6 starting lineup players on the bench... that is 6 out of 9 total spots on the bench with a the bye or an injury. Nonetheless, Cleveland needed a win and they pick up a big one. Their pass catchers are coming alive and Kittle has returned at the exact moment they needed him. It is just going to be a guessing game with the running backs - get those right and this could be a dangerous team.

1st Downs Syndrome (4-4) v Cocaine Cowboys (6-2)

When you don't have your best stuff, just hope you are playing an opponent who also doesn't have their best stuff. Bijan and CMC both score their season low points - neither one breaking 10 points... thankfully they were playing each other. Talking about surprises... Shane Falco and Draco Malfoy are both playing really good football right now. Drake has scored over 20 points in 4 of the last 5 weeks and Flacco is averaging 23 points since being acquired by Cincy. Cocaine is now tied for the top of the league... a tough team that is looking to bolster their playoff position.

Project Tush Push (5-3) v Indiana Jones* (3-5)

There might not be a worse feeling than going into Monday Night Football needing points and you have a WR and the opposing defense left. Every time your WR does well... your defense suffers. Every time your defense does well... your WR is not scoring. Who do you root for? Honestly, it is shocking that Indiana Jones heart didn't just explode with confusion during MNF. Nonetheless... the combo did not work out and they lost.

ARBL (4-4) v Ertz/Eifert* (6-2)

In a shocking performance (but not really that shocking, when you look at the bye weeks) - Ertz has taken their 2nd loss of the season and now there is a 3-way tie at the top of the league with 2 teams trailing at 5-3. The top is getting more congested and ARBL is attempting to win their back into the playoff race... They are winners of 2 straight and 3 out of the last 4 weeks. Since making the massive trades... they are 3-1 and they have now played their way into the middle of the pack. The question is... can they keep this going when they don't play a team that has the horses on the bye?

Prediction: Ertz/Eifert... WRONG!!

The J-Bones** (5-3) v Slender TD's** (2-6)

It felt like just the other week, when I gave out the 1st half awards... where was Taylor during that post? Taylor is now the number 1 RB and is averaging 27 points a week. The rushing yardage won't blow you away, but Taylor currently has 14 total touchdowns - nearly 2 touchdowns a week. On the flip side, Slender had Puka (the 1st half MVP) on the bye... this was a cool matchup on paper, with the number of belts, but it was like one fighter stepped into the ring with an arm tied behind his back.

Prediction: The J-Bones... RIGHT!!

Mystery Guest: Slender TDs... WRONG!!

2AP (3-5) v BEKH (4-4)

Let's just say that BEKH didn't have their best stuff today. Egbuka came back down to earth these past couple weeks, he has failed to break 10 points in the past 3 weeks. On the flip side, Chase has loved having Flacco under center - seeing a return to form that made him the number 1 pick. The big question for 2AP is going to be if their running backs can keep up with the WR's when it comes down to the playoff push.

Prediction: BEKH... WRONG!!
