I dunno suchmoon, being 3-0 in your division, you're technically the best team in the league.

"I don't discount anything," said Maddogs coach Nutildah Jones at a press conference today. "Which is why we practiced extra hard this week; tried to tighten up our defense and study soft spots we can exploit in our opponent's offense."

Coach Jones credited San Diego phenom Justin Herbert with the big push to help secure the 'Dogs victory last week.

An overly-conservative move according to some, Jones is benching Herbert this week in favor of the more veteran Patrick Mahomes, who will be up against a less-challenging opponent in the Washington Football Team.

"This is the NFL -- anything can happen," he later added.



Uh oh I'm on the verge of becoming nullius  Cheesy



Sorry to poke fun at your expense Heuristics, but I felt compelled to make this for you and needed to see it through to completion.



Triple edit: If you could just go ahead and win this game, that would be great, thanks. You can count on me as your biggest fan!

Yikes I'm playing against McCaffrey and Carson and they both out. Injuries are racking up this year.  Survival of the fittest this year in ff.  Good luck to all this week.

Chubb is out and he's like half of my team so I'm just gonna pretend that it's a bye week for everyone and not worry about it. Not that I had much of a chance against mad dogs anyway.

I hope everyone wins! (Except hueristic Smiley )

Hueristic wins the prize for consistency:

@South Park. This is 3 games without their quarterback, however, would you bet on Panthers +2.5 in their home stadium? The Panthers’ defense is good and might end the game with only -1 hehe.

Also, NFL experts, what are your predictions? Other teams that have been positive against the spread are the Cowboys only -3.5? The Bills only -5.5? They might win by 1 touchdown versus the Patriots and the Titans, I reckon. The Chargers is +2.5 versus the Ravens. This is another team that has been good against the spread.

I haven't been imbibing many beverages lately, but I must have been sniffing paint and not remember it because I ended up taking the Eagles at +7.
Whatever it is that is causing this keep doing it! First you were able to predict Mahomes will have a bad game and Herbert will put some monster numbers, and now you won this bet with the Eagles going for two under those circumstances and then TB moved the ball all the field and got inside the five and just ran out the clock.

BTW McCaffrey is out and Chubb as well, RBs are dropping like flies.

Damn, that was a close one, won it by the skin of my teeth.

The same thing happened 2 weeks ago when the Bucs played the Pats... They won but didn't quite cover.

Don't know if any of you guys are podcast fans but I remember Bill Burr saying he bet on Tom Terrific to cover, even though he's a giants Pats fan. So that way even if the Pats lost, he'd still win the bet. Of course neither ended up happening, which means the line has been pretty darn accurate with them.

Yeah I don't want to veer to far off but bill burr is definately one of my favorite comedians.  I just seen him live for the first time, was hilarious.  He's a huge new england/Boston Homer and being a giants/knicks/yanks fan it's funny listening to him rip on em. 

And yeah lucky for you the eagles don't know how to play by the book and went for it. Lol nice hit.

Since I came back to the states I discovered seltzer beer and have been all over that Michelob Lime Cucumber, or whoever makes it. I also like the White Claw grapefruit quite a bit... It may lead to lower testosterone levels but I still enjoy the shit out of it.



Eagles went for the 2 point conversion and hit it lol.  I really don't like when teams do that it usually ends up hurting than helping but man I know more Vegas money was on the bucs.  Up to Tommy boy now.  We got a game!!

Edit: congrats on the eagles +7.  Bettors definately are not happy with the eagles tonight.

What do you guys think about tonight's matchup? Is today finally the day to bet against Tom Brady?
It's never a good time to bet against Brady but in the scheme of things this might be the closest to the best time. Smiley

Have you two started weekend refreshments a day early? Betting against the goat? Roll Eyes

Not until he meets Josh Allen and Bills defense in the SB.

YUP!

Never ever bet against the goat.  I had a gross amount on the atl/NE SB on atlanta with them up 28-3 in the middle of the third.  Never ever again would I bet against that MF.  He is good enough to beat every team or at a minimum screw any spread.  And when he is only giving a td, nope Never.

Just reason...Tom Brady and the other side you have jalen hurts.  Hard nope lol.

@Hueristic, sorry for the trade request, i like Mitchell but it's Herbert szn, kid looks great and is likely to get 20+ carries vs GB.  Smiley

No worries, I had to give it a shot. Wink

I'll still do my best every week. Smiley

What was the trade request?  

Mitchell for Herbert, why you got an RB for trade? PM me.



I have some rbs 4 solid but I don't see me upgrading elsewhere.  Trades are always so tough for me to pull the trigger.  I always feel no matter what I do the guy I get will go bust or hurt lol.  Right now riding with D cook, J Taylor, A Gibson, and D Henderson.  Positioned to be ok for when my byes come up so I don't think I want to move any.  Rbs are tough to fill.

Thats what I figured so didn't bother you with a trade offer.

Your stacked all around.

What was the trade request?  And dak isn't a bad option he always is a possible 4 td guy per game.  I actually don't think much of the eagles passing game.  Hurts is detrimental.  In ff he might get you some points with his feet, but I don't see them blowing up.  Bucs d is only bad because they can play soft knowing Brady boy will save them.

Trade was Elijah Mitchell for Khalil Herbert straight up. Mitchell has bye this week and possibly more upside going forward, but i like Herbert with Williams on covid reserve, the Bears simply don't have anyone left at RB. Herbert short-medium outlook is great, and GB gave two TDs last week to the Bengals RBs.

As for Hurts and Dak it's a tough choice every single week. Dak has one bust so far against the Chargers though (on the road) and Hurts has been reliable and consistent fantasy wise, over 20 points in each game.

LOL, this is getting ridiculous, I know I complain a lot but I have 3 out, 3 BYEs and 5 Questionable, FF showing its true colors.

Next week will be brutal, i've 17 players in both forum leagues that are either injured or on BYE.
At least I am not alone at FF hell.

I will pray for you.  Grin

I saw the Damien Williams news sorta late, thought someone beat me to it and snatched Herbert. Well, i had to drop A. Robinson II, feel free to grab him.  Grin (finally i was able to get rid of him lol)

Next week will be brutal, i've 17 players in both forum leagues that are either injured or on BYE. Needless to say, i can't afford to drop any games in Week 6, and it all starts with Jalen Hurts (who i prefer over Dak). The Buccaneers are missing a linebacker, Winfield Jr., and have the league's worst pass defense. Let me cherrypick a few stats:

Bucs
Quote
Opponent Completions per Game - 32.8 (32)
Opponent Completion Percentage - 72.89% (29)
Opponent Passing Yards per Game - 314.4 (32)
Opponent Passing First Down Percentage 75.00% (32)
source: https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl

Quez Watkins and DeVonta Smith are going to feast on that terrible Bucs secondary, i could see one of them (if not both) finish with 100+ yards and a TD.

Here's my two game/player props:

Eagles over 0.5 FG; Eagles +14.5; Eagles O16.5 pts @1.88
Hurts 1+ pass TD; Gainwell 10+ rec yards; Watkins 30+ rec yards @1.85

Where are the odds for NFL regular season MVP and rookie of the year be found? It was everywhere last season, however, it appears not a cryptospace sportsbook have them available. They do not want us to bet Josh Allen hehehe. Also, who is a good tight end who can score a minimum of 5 fantasy points?

Ypu can find them on a ton a sportsbooks. I don't play the props so I don't know which ones but I know people play them a ton.  And yeah Josh Allen is definately going to be up there.  Brady gonna be fighting forvp too, 15 tds to 2 int in the first 5 games...and he still gets to play the giants Smiley  and as far as tight ends on the area at this point its a crap chute with them.  Hot or miss outside the top tight ends.
As great as Brady is playing most likely the regular season MVP will go to someone else as the voters will prefer to give it to a young promising QB like Allen, Murray, Herbert or even King Henry if he is capable of running for 2k yards two years in a row rather than to vote for the old veteran, however he is not completely out of the race, Brady is on pace to break the regular season TDs record and the record for yards as well, and if he does they will have no other option but to give the regular season MVP to him.
