Will this Thursdays Amazon Prime game be more boring than last Thursdays?

I didn't think that was possible but it's turning out that way LOL

3:0 at halftime and they needed two sketchy pass interference calls to even get into the field goal range...

Drinking game suggestion: shot every time the talking heads forget the team is called "the red... the dubbyef... the commandos"

I've got B. Robinson o44.5 rushings yards + Bears o0.5 FGs made @1.92

Robinson has been named the starting back for tonight's game, and he is projected to get double-digit carries. As stats show below, the Bears' rush defense has been cooked by opposing RB1 (and Deebo) practically every game this season, and i don't see that changing today.

Week 1 vs 49ers Deebo Samuel   8/52/1
Week 2 vs. Packers Aaron Jones   15/132/1
Week 3 vs. Texans Dameon Pierce   20/80/1
Week 4 vs. Giants Saquon Barkley 31/146/0
Week 5 vs. Vikings Dalvin Cook   18/94/2
stats via espn.com

I'm still debating whether i should grab the over on Mooney's rec yards (45.5) or not. Commander's pass d is terrible, i could see him and Fields connect on at least one explosive play, hmmm...

My team is officially the worst in the league. Whoo freaking who lol. On another note I hate these analytic decisions going for 2 instead of the tie there for LV. These new coaches played way too much madden for my taste. Kick the extra point and play on. If kc hits the field goal on the next drive it doesn't matter if ypu were tied or up a point anyway. So dumb.

Are you talking about the Giants or your Fantasy football team? lol. I mean I would be upset being a Giants fan too, but there's absolutely worse out there. Oh say like my favorite team the Chicago Bears. I know Justin Fields finally had a nice game last week, but I still don't have a ton of faith in him long term.

Some other worse teams out there too. I mean at least you have some positions where players are elite, like your running back Saquan Barkley. The Bears best player is Roquan Smith, for comparison.

My fantasy squad is the worst. Had to autodraft the first 2 rounds and it took wide recivers.. hate waiting so long for a running back and when I did I took javonte Williams who is now out for the year lol. Dak got hurt so backup qb, and now waller is hurt lol. My running back situation is unrecoverable, wait until the bye weeks kick in I won't be able to field a team legible team. 😅

I looked over your team and I just cant see a fair trade there. Sad

I can certainly find a fair trade. My entire te for anyone else's entire team 😅

Eh in all honesty what does everyone think of tonight's game. I have it as a picked and am taking the under at 38. Think it's going to be a tightly played game with neither team wanting to give up field position.

I did take one prop, Terry McLaurin over 54.5 yards. Outside of Samuel I don't see anyone taking targets from him. Thomas is out and one of theor backs I think is out.

Enjoy the game everyone!

Okay now that waivers have been processed I can talk about how disgusted I was with myself for not dropping someone and picking up Taysom Hill before last weeks game. I knew he was the right play/ a good play, I just knew it, but I decided to ignore my gut and listen to the “experts” and went with Conklin over him. Needless to say after Hill dropped 40pts I was pissed off all weekend long (still pretty much am lol). Would have taken me from 1-4 to 2-3. I’ve got a good team, I really do, but it’s hard to come back/out of a 1-4 start. But, we shall see.

Let this be a lesson to you all, go with your gut. Don’t be like this guy!!! Lol ughhhh

The experts are in similar position as common players like us. Their predictions are also based on speculation which might or might not become true. However, their advantage is that their speculations and predictions are based on statistical models which help in taking the more possible outcomes. It also depends on who your favorite experts are hehehe. There might be some experts who are better in fantasy than other experts.

In any case, why is the Bills only -3 vs. the Chiefs? After a difficult game vs. the Raiders then next game is a more difficult one vs. the Bills, certainly the Bills should be - 6.5 or -7?

It appears someone got to my priority targets in the waiver wire first before me hehehe. Who got Geno Smith and Taysom Hill? We should start accepting the reality that Geno Smith is more than an average quarterback. It might be only for this season, however, he is a good addition.

Also, there are rumors that the Panthers might be trading some of their players after firing Matt Rhule. The rumors also say that the Buffalo Bills are asking about McCaffrey. The Bills are known to have interest on McCaffrey during the offseason.

What a weekend of games, it started out with a dud, and ended with a ton of excitement. That was a fun game last night, and it didn't hurt that my QB was battling South Park's kicker, lol. Congrats to all this week's winners, BTW.

LOL, if I am honest I was really worried about losing against Mahomes, I think you needed 34 points to tie the game but the guy can easily score 40 out of nowhere, the worst scenario for me was for the Chiefs to get way ahead of the Raiders and then when they were in distance for a FG they will decide to go for it on 4th and short, fortunately for me the opposite happened and the Raiders were the ones which took the lead and allowed me to get the W.

Also have you guys noticed the Bombay Bengals are the second highest scoring team on the league and they are only 2-3? I have not noticed until now since I have been avoiding looking too much into that team since they destroyed the Q/Cows on week one but that is some really bad luck.

Something's up with the Raiders only getting +7 against the Chiefs... dunno what it is exactly, but I'm in.

My new theory is that if a line looks fucked up and is not giving enough points to the underdog, then take it b/c its a trap trying to get people to bet in the other direction. Same thing happened with the Giants/Pacs game. But really who knows, these games are wildly unpredictable, which is part of why they're so fun.

Just remember that even if your team loses, whether in fantasy or a bet, you will never lose as hard as Cumberland playing Georgia Tech on Oct 7, 1916.

LOL Raiders pissed the game away as usual.

Anyway, I was worried for nothing, I got 15 points just from first downs.

I am not watching the game, but upon checking this score is shocking. 14-0 for the Raiders and it is only in the 2nd quarter.

Also, what does this mean for Christian McCaffrey? Does this change the Panther's way of playing? The defensive passing game coordinator will also be interim coach. Defensive. I am afraid defensive might imply less snaps for my running back hehehehe.

Once a hot $62 million hire, Matt Rhule fired during third season as Panthers coach

Rhule ended up being an expensive mistake for Panthers owner David Tepper. Before the third season of that deal was done, Rhule was fired. The Panthers announced the move on Monday morning. Rhule was 11-27 as Panthers coach. A listless 37-15 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday dropped the Panthers to 1-4 this season and was Rhule's final game as the team's coach. Rhule is the first coach fired this NFL season.

Carolina also fired defensive coordinator Phil Snow and assistant special teams coach Ed Foley.

Defensive passing game coordinator and secondary coach Steve Wilks, who coached the Arizona Cardinals for one season, will be the team's interim coach.

I have zero faith in the Giants, I'll be surprised if they even making the playoffs.

Relatively easy schedule ahead, @SEA, HOU, DET in consecutive weeks, then twice against the Commanders towards the end of the season, i think they should be able to make the playoffs, given their current record.

Taco Corpse V/S Bombay Bengals Battle of the week!

If Andrews does not fumble the ball multiple times in the second half, i should be able to pull this one off. I was supposed to lose between 30 to 40 fpts (live projections), but the Cowboys' defense came through again, three straight weeks with double-digit scores...incredible, this might be one of my best comeback wins in FF.

GG @nutildah!

It's a long season so playoff picture is a long ways away. Really can't start looking at it until division games are played and you are in around December. Looks like the East will be a tough division this year so lots of football ahead that the giants have to win to even talk about it. Lots of injuries starting to rack up as well.
