Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

We are getting to the nitty gritty right now! Only two weeks remain in the regular season.

If you have been using our picks this year, then you are sitting pretty good in your year-long pool and are poised to take that top spot!

If you haven’t been using our picks, well then you deserve the low spot in the standings that you have right now! But hey, jump on the bandwagon now and maybe win a week or two!

…and never doubt me again! :)

WEEK 16 – HERE WE GO!!

(HOME TEAM IN ALL CAPS)

• 16 – SEATTLE over Arizona – The Seahawks get an easy tune up before their huge matchup with the 49ers next week.
  
  
• 15 – INDIANAPOLIS over Carolina – I think it’s safe to say that the Panthers were one of the most disappointing team in the league this season.
  
  
• 14 – SAN FRANCISCO over Los Angeles Rams – The ending of the Falcons/9ers game was just crazy – and made San Francisco realize that they can no longer leave anything to chance.
  
  
• 13 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over Oakland – After their dismal display in their last two games in Oakland, let’s just call them the ______________ Raiders until they officially move to Vegas. My BOLD PREDICTION this week is that THE LAS VEGAS RAIDERS WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS NEXT YEAR.
  
  
• 12 – PHILADELPHIA over Dallas – (sigh) … this game will actually decide a division winner…(sigh)…
  
  
• 11 – NEW ENGLAND over Buffalo – I still don’t see the Bills as a legitimate threat to the Patriots AFC East dominance.
  
  
• 10 – TAMPA BAY over Houston – Tampa has nothing to play for but are playing like a team with nothing to lose.
  
  
• 9 – Kansas City over CHICAGO – I know I said the Panthers were the most disappointing team this season…but then the Bears came to mind…
  
  
• 8 – New Orleans over TENNESSEE – Between this game and the game last week against the Texans, the Titans are getting a bad dose of reality
  
  
• 7 – Baltimore over CLEVELAND – It’s really hard to see the Ravens lose another game this year.
  
  
• 6 – MIAMI over Cincinnati – You know that feeling when you are watching a Pee-Wee Football game? It’s just so cute to watch them run around and try to play football. Yeah…that…
  
  
• 5 – DENVER over Detroit – I will say this, Drew Lock is starting the process of eventually coming close to the possibility of maybe changing my opinion on his legitimacy as a starting QB in the NFL.
  
  
• 4 – MINNESOTA over Green Bay – The Vikings are set to complete their “Don’t forget about us” run to the NFC North title! (side note, I almost just typed NFC Central – yay for nostalgia!)
  
  
• 3 – ATLANTA over Jacksonville – How did the Falcons pull off the upset in San Fran last week?? BECAUSE I PICKED THEM TO LOSE!!!!!
  
  
• 2 – WASHINGTON over New York Giants – Haskins vs Jones – the NFC East quarterback matchup of the future! With probably the same levels of stakes as there are this week!
  
  
• 1 – NEW YORK JETS over Pittsburgh – I still don’t think the Jets are as bad as their record says they are.

Folks, this is what we have been preparing for!

We have reached the last week of the NFL season, and the last week of the Confidence Pool. If you have been following along with my picks, you should be in pretty good shape right now and just need one more solid week to clinch a win in your season-long pool. But hey, might as well throw in a weekly payout on top of that as well, right?

Normally, Week 17 is always a tricky one. With only one week to go, playoff spots and seeds are almost entirely figured out already, which means that star players end up getting a Sunday off. Obviously, this adds a degree of difficulty when making your Confidence Pool picks.

Not this year!

Heading into the final week of the season it seems like only 2 or 3 of the 12 playoff seeds have been determined. No need to worry about whether Tom Brady will be in all game – he will. Will Patrick Mahomes be under center from start to finish in KC? Absolutely!

It has been another great football season! Thank you all for following along all year!

We’ll see you in September!

WEEK 17 – HERE WE GO!!

(HOME TEAM IN ALL CAPS)

16 – NEW ENGLAND over Miami – I’m pretty sure the Patriots could play their practice squad and still win this one.

15 – KANSAS CITY over Los Angeles Chargers – This may be the last game with the Chargers as we know them – I see big changes ahead.

14 – MINNESOTA over Chicago – Take a deep breath, Bears fans…its almost over!

13 – DALLAS over Washington – The Cowboys should be able to pull out an easy win to end the year … buuuuut …

12 – Philadelphia over NEW YORK GIANTS – …the Eagles will still win their game and win the NFC East.

11 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Arizona – After revamping The Curse of the Super Bowl loser, the Rams appear to be stuck in salary cap hell for the next few years, so this may be the last taste of victory they have for a while!

10 – New Orleans over CAROLINA – It’s a close call with the Bears, but I think the Panthers, with everything they have gone through, may be the most disappointing team this year.

9 – HOUSTON over Tennessee – The division is wrapped up, but the Texans are still playing for the 3 seed.

8 – SEATTLE over San Francisco – The 9ers were one of the last teams to lose a game this year, and now they may not even win their division.

7 – Green Bay over DETROIT – The Packers are still playing for the 1 seed in the NFC, that’s bad news for the Lions.

6 – BUFFALO over New York Jets – The Bills are set at the 5 seed in the AFC, but still should be able to pull one out against the Jets.

5 – BALTIMORE over Pittsburgh – Baltimore is in rest mode, but the allure of knocking the Steelers out of the playoffs is still something for them to play for.

4 – Oakland over DENVER – It’s a crazy scenario, but my BOLD PREDICTION to end the 2019 season is that THE RAIDERS WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR.

3 – TAMPA BAY over Atlanta – One more chance for the Falcons to make me look like an idiot this year.

2 – Indianapolis over JACKSONVILLE – It’s funny that both these teams are out of playoff contention, but the outcome still matters to the Raiders playoff hopes!

1 – CINCINNATI over Cleveland – Now that they have locked up the first pick in the draft, the Bengals can win a game without sacrificing their future.
