With today's outcome, I am 100% Team Reid.

Your former student had a pretty good night, Epignosis. I was hoping he’d find the endzone though.

Go Detrez!

Still looks like that sheepish kid I taught in 2011- sat in the front row and was very respectful.

Cam has absolutely no one to blame that loss on except himself.

Hope y'all got Spencer Ware.

Game like Saints 70 - Cowboys 3.

Highest scoring MNF game ever tonight.

I say...

Carolina wins by a TD to Greg Olsen.

Biggest loss of my DFS career in football tonight. I got James Conner right. That's...about...it.

Is B.O. even capable of throwing a touchdown? He gave one to Drake, and then let Amendola throw one to Drake. What the hell? Are you running the offense or are you just cashing a paycheck?

Houston. Lamar Miller is going to have his way tonight.

Atlanta for me as well...

...although Atlanta is hot garbage against pass-catching backs. I am heavily invested in Mr. Barkley.

Butterfingers Peppers had to blow it. Browns gonna Brown.

PHI has a zone defense that is not 100% healthy. Cam is going to pick them apart.

Carolina will upset. PHI will lose.

Luckily my basketball action is picking up the slack.

$60 blown on this one. Damn, Arizona is shite.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Thu Oct 18, 2018 7:34 pm I am giving Arizona a long look here.

You should. I predict David Johnson is going to have a breakout game. The Broncos are a mess against running backs this year.



Ya think?

The Bears and Dolphins are absolute trolls.

So yes, as I was saying, the Giants are atrocious by any measurable standards.

ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 9:25 pm Holy cow, I love watching Saquon run.

Dude is a staple in my fantasy lineups. Just consistent as hell.

I don't know man.

After Graham Gano slung a stone from the parking lot to slay a gloating Giant, I'm thinking the Philistines at home get angry.

The Eagles have a reputation as a strong run defense, and they do...except they've given up 30 receptions to running backs on average this season.

Saquon Barkley is a running back who catches a lot of passes.

And the Eagles are third worst against wide receivers this season, having surrendered 84 catches for 1064 yards and 7 touchdowns.

The Giants have this dude named Odell Beckham, Jr.

The Giants also have the best defense against wide receivers this season, having surrendered a measly 51 receptions for 659 yards and just two touchdowns.

They've been about as stingy against tight ends.

And as a home dog, Eli Manning has been all over the map...good, bad, ugly...

...but against the Eagles as a home dog, Manning has gone bananas.

Drew Brees has thrown over 40 miles of football in his career, overtaking Peyton Manning's record for all-time NFL passing yards.

WHO DAT

So did OBJ.

Gano ftw.

Mason Crosby should have retired at halftime.

I am drooling over Matthew Stafford and Marvin Jones if he plays. Those dudes own Green Bay.

Why?

Patriots have an 82% chance of winning this game, so that's my pick.

I'll certainly take it. I have always hated shootouts. Bad defense is not good football to me. I love a game that ends 20-17, and would prefer 9-6 over that shit.

I hope you never get elected President of the NFL, because my bread and butter are high scoring games. I'm up $103 a week on football this season.

I'd be happier if you won a cool 250. Down 260 is bad because A) Its a loss and B) 260 is a fucked up denomination.

I lost because I went heavy on pass catchers and the one player I ignored was Hunt. Again, I file that under "Oh well." I've done this long enough to know that random bullshit happens. I would have lost no matter what because I don't play running backs against the Broncos.

Mahomes is better, and regression will come, but that regression will be Mahomes' regression, not Kaepernick's. I still foresee the Chiefs being a SuperBowl winning team here. Mahomes is the real deal, and Andy Reid is one of my favorite coaches (despite the cutesy play calling).

I also think the Panthers are sleepers this year. Cam Newton is better without Greg Olson (wild, I know), and Christian McCaffery is amazing. Amazing and without a TD because his QB vultures every opportunity. That is going to come in handy down the stretch, methinks...

I think Carolina is the best team in the NFL's toughest division. If they can get to the postseason, they're built for success.

Congrats on the Bengals Sunday. That game had more scoring than a New Years Eve party at a South Florida retirement home.

By the way, this was from Sunday's $600 profit. I'm just giving DH a hard time.

I think a few of the calls were questionable.

The biggest surprise for me was the sudden eruption of Kareem Hunt against the Broncos rushing defense.

File that shit under "Oh well."

None of them did KC any favors. Case Keenum was just that bad tonight.

An unusual aspect of this game was that the running backs were the stars. That was highly unexpected.

I'mma let you finish but first lemme lateral this ball right into the dirt.

My biggest deal was how many TD passes were ruined by bad throws or flags. Sutton (my biggest play) lost two touchdown opportunities because of this. Had he gotten one touchdown, this would have been a much different script.

Sharp money was on Denver (at least to cover the spread).

I'm conflicted here, because Kansas City hasn't been more than a 1.5 point favorite since 1990.

I'm fading the public in this match-up: Give me Denver at home.

I don't think it matters. Are they really going to go anybody else over Fitzpatrick right now? Anybody can have one bad game.

Roughing the passer.
