Fantasy Football Update #8 and My Picks
I escaped week 8 with a 81 to 55 win, but my 6-2 record has a twinge of luck to it as I know 81 won’t get me wins very often. With Roddy White back I hope to go north of 100 again…though the latest on Antonio Gates has me worried again.
Week 9 lineup (subject to change)-QB Tom Brady, RB Ray Rice, WR Roddy White, Jeremy Maclin, WR Johnny Knox, TE Brandon Pettigrew (but I still hope Gates), Dan Carpenter (how bout this guy 2 weeks with 5 Field Goals), and The Saints D/ST.
I feel much better this week especially since my competition is rolling with Matty “ICE” Ryan who throws to my guy Roddy White, but without Gates who really is Mr. Consistent I know there is a chance I lose.
Bet on this, but don’t get mad at me-(Week 9)
2009 stats-66% on the Like em bets, 26% on the 3 If you can stomach em underdog picks, and 58% on the Parlay to try picks.
2010 stats-55% (11 for 20) on the Like em bets, 47% (10 for 21) on the 3 If you can stomach em bets, and 63% (14 for 22) on the Parlay to try picks.
If you went with my Like em’s you went 2 out 3 and made some cash, if you rolled with my Stomach em picks you might have done a little better than even, and if you rolled with my Parlay you are justifiably mad at me. Let’s try to learn from our mistakes and get back to winning on all fronts.
Like em-They are still flawed but N.O. should cover the -7 @ CAR as Carolina is just waiting for their new coach, and their current coach is waiting for Wade Phillips to leave the Cowboys. I like Over 45 in the TAM @ ATL game as I expect an exciting 4th quarter in that game. Lastly the Vegas money smells an upset in Cleveland, but the Vegas money isn’t right all the time, take NWE – 4 ½ @ CLE.
3 If you can stomach em-Only 1 out of 3 in week 8 should give me pause, but after crunching the numbers I just can’t stop myself…this is a great week for the mighty upset, so grab your roll and take some sharp calculated chances. Starting with MIA +185 @ BAL, look this is my least favorite but the value is right and everyone knows -5 is the “Vegas zone” (and if you don’t already you should be listening to the B.S. Report) which basically means Vegas trusts BAL about as far as they can throw them. The next two are a tad crazy but if you want to play Hold Em you gotta roll with the Highs and Lows, Take DET +185 vs. NYJ and then get even nuttier by taking SEA +260! Vs. NYG…one of these home dogs has to turn out. Lastly, and don’t laugh…take DAL +275 @ GNB…yeah I know I’m nuts, but something tells me Dallas actually shocks the Pack for one of their few wins this season.
Parlay to try-Take NWE – 4 ½ @ CLE, then take Over 46 ½ in TNDY @ PHI game, and then lastly go with the old man…and um Derek Anderson? Take Over 42 in the ARI @ MIN game.
2 to win in College Football-(3-3-1 in 2010)-Ok so we have a very mediocre college record so far so I am going to take this week off so I can re-assess the College landscape and come back firing!
Results will be posted after Week 9
Good Luck in all Fantasy and Reality!
I need a couple College winners dude! It's cool I didn't like any of your Week 9 moneyliners anyway, the NFL is odd this year, but you are doing well enough.
