Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

Let me just clear something up really quick –

I recently talked about how much mediocrity there seems to be in the league this season. Don’t get me wrong, I still feel that way – doesn’t really seem like to many teams want to grab that proverbial brass ring.

But in no way does that mean that the quality of the games have taken a hit (well, with the exception of Thursday Night games…and maybe that will change this week). For those like me who are watching the RedZone channel, the period between 2:30 and 3:00 (CST) has been the most exhilarating half-hour stretch of the week.

We may not have many juggernauts, but my goodness we are still getting great football to watch!

Hooray for football!

Week 8 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

15 – BUFFALO over Green Bay – It’s…it’s just fun seeing the Packers on the wrong side of the top line, isn’t it?

14 – DALLAS over Chicago – Back-to back games against the NFC North is a solid additional rehab program for a returning Dak Prescott.

13 – PHILADELPHIA over Pittsburgh – The Eagles defense would have been a lot for Kenny Pickett to deal with BEFORE the addition of Robert Quinn.

12 – JACKSONVILLE over Denver (in London) – Nathaniel Hackett should double check his ticket to London…might very well be a one-way ticket.

11 – MINNESOTA over Arizona – Justin Jefferson…DeAndre Hopkins…take the over.

10 – NEW YORK JETS over New England – Jets fans have been waiting decades for this game.

9 – ATLANTA over Carolina – PJ Walker can’t play Tom Brady EVERY week (…checks notes…is that right?)

8 – Miami over DETROIT – Safe to say that the Hard Knocks hysteria is over.

7 – HOUSTON over Tennessee – This just seems like a game the Texans can squeak out.

6 – Baltimore over TAMPA BAY – Originally a potential Super Bowl preview, now its just a way for the whole country to see Tome Brady’s demise!

5 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over San Francisco – NFC Championship rematch – same place, different feel…but same result.

4 – SEATTLE over New York Giants – Now here is a potential NFC Championship matchup for this year…as we all predicted back in August.

3 – Cincinnati over CLEVELAND – The Bengals seem like they might be getting things together. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that JOE BURROW WILL THROW FOR OVER 450 yards.

2 – Las Vegas over NEW ORLEANS – Road wins against the mediocre are a necessity for the Raiders to get back on track.

1 – Washington over INDIANAPOLIS – Took us eight weeks to get to a Bryce Young Bowl.
