Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

This has been a dramatic season to say the least.

While that is great while you’re watching the games on Sunday, it does make things a little difficult when filling out your confidence picks. We have had several weeks already where we are sure about maybe one or two games but then the rest are toss-ups.

This week, well, seems to be more of the same! So, now that we’re used to it, let’s just pick ‘em all right!

Week 7 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

15 – BUFFALO over Tennessee – The Bills make a move to improve their offense … FINALLY!!

14 – WASHINGTON over Carolina – Panthers fans have to shed a few tears every time they play a team with a young, high-pick QB that actually succeeds!

13 – Philadelphia over NEW YORK GIANTS – Hard to win a game at home when your quarterback apparently refuses to throw for a touchdown at home!

12 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Las Vegas – Boy it’s fun being a Raiders fan!

11 – JACKSONVILLE over New England – When are they just going to announce the official creation of the London Jaguars?

10 – INDIANAPOLIS over Miami – It’s crazy how different the Dolphins offense is without Tua.

9 – ATLANTA over Seattle – One of those “it will be exciting but you don’t know why” games.

8 – Los Angeles Chargers over ARIZONA – We all know how ‘effective’ a non-MHJ Cardinals offense is.

7 – PITTSBURGH over New York Jets – The Jets have players, but the organization is what is keeping them down.

6 – Houston over GREEN BAY – The Texan look solid. My BOLD PREDICTION is that HOUSTON WILL MAKE THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME … … … AT LEAST.

5 – Detroit over MINNESOTA – This would be higher up the list if Hutchinson was still playing.

4 – SAN FRANCISCO over Kansas City – This game won’t be played in February so the 9ers have a chance.

3 – TAMPA BAY over Baltimore – It’s really weird to think that this could be a Super Bowl preview…but here we are!

2 – Cincinnati over CLEVELAND – It’s the Battle for Ohio! … which is something to battle over I guess.

1 – Denver over NEW ORLEANS – Some has to win this one I guess.

Random observation here …

We have a bit of an anomaly this week. Throughout most of the season we have to deal with bye weeks. Whether it is our fantasy teams or not being able to get more points in a week of a confidence pool, we have to deal with a stretch of the season where someone won’t be playing.

This week though, in the heart of it all, guess who has a bye week … … … bye weeks!

Yes, all 32 teams will be taking the field this weekend. It’s a good thing, too – after the last couple of weeks, we need more points!

Week 8 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

16 – DETROIT over Tennessee – No Hutchinson, no Jameson … not a problem this week.

15 – Baltimore over CLEVELAND – Would you stand in front of Derrick Henry? My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that THE RAVENS WILL WIN THE SUPER BOWL.

14 – Kansas City over LAS VEGAS – Well thank goodness the Chiefs made a trade to FINALLY get an offensive weapon!

13 – DENVER over Carolina – The Broncos being this high at any point in the season can’t have been on anyone’s Bingo card.

12 – PITTSBURGH over New York Giants – Seems like the clock is officially ticking on the Danie Jones era.

11 – HOUSTON over Indianapolis – The Texans lost that week … don’t see that happening too often this season.

10 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over New Orleans – Hopefully you all see why Derek Carr should get more appreciation now.

9 – SAN FRANCISCO over Dallas – Oh boy do the 9ers need this one.

8 – Minnesota over LOS ANGELES RAMS – Receivers are all either being traded or are injured … ask the Rams about the latter.

7 – Buffalo over SEATTLE – Pretty sure this win might clinch the AFC East for the Bills.

6 – New York Jets over NEW ENGLAND – I think Davante Adams is just glad he doesn’t have to play the Steelers for a third straight week.

5 – CINCINNATI over Philadelphia – This was supposed to be Game of the Week material … yet here we are.

4 – Green Bay over JACKSONVILLE – No bye week after two weeks in London? Not ideal for the Jags.

3 – WASHINGTON over Chicago – This will be fun to watch this week…and for years to come.

2 – Atlanta over TAMPA BAY – Hard to win a game when you have basically no one to throw the ball to.

1 – MIAMI over Arizona – This should go up several lines if Tua ends up playing.

Oh this is gonna be an interesting week for sure.

Looking down the list of games and there aren’t too many, no-brainers! The Bengals are sitting on the second highest line this week … … … need I say more?? So this could be a make or break week for us.

No point in delaying the inevitable any longer, let’s get going!

Week 9 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

15 – BALTIMORE over Denver – The Broncos will be crashing back down to reality on this one … … … hard!

14 – CINCINNATI over Las Vegas – It’s fun being a Raiders fan… it really is…

13 – MINNESOTA over Indianapolis – This probably would’ve been on the top line if the Colts didn’t make a quarterback change.

12 – BUFFALO over Miami – The inevitable realization of the Dolphin’s offense that Tua is back does make me a bit hesitant on this one.

11 – PHILADELPHIA over Jacksonville – It’s weird to have a game this high when I think they’ll win just because it’s a home game.

10 – SEATTLE over Los Angeles Rams – I feel like last week’s drubbing by Buffalo is the wake up Seattle needs in the apparently winable NFC West .

9 – Washington over NEW YORK GIANTS – Safe to say the Commanders are riding high after last week.

8 – KANSAS CITY over Tampa Bay – I would have loved to see this game if the Bucs had a full offense.

7 – Chicago over ARIZONA – A bounce back here after last week’s ending would show us how Caleb Williams can handle the NFL life.

6 – ATLANTA over Dallas – I see big things for Kirk Cousins in this one. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that KIRK COUSINS WILL THROW FOR AT LEAST 450 YARDS AND THREE TDs THIS WEEK.

5 – Los Angeles Chargers over CLEVELAND – I feel like the Browns got their one unexpected win of the season last week.

4 – Houston over NEW YORK JETS – To put it terms New York fans will understand – Houston is like Aaron Judge in the regular season, the Jets are Aaron Judge in the post season.

3 – GREEN BAY over Detroit – This is contingent on Jordan Love playing. Switch to the Lions if he doesn’t…or if you think he’ll be knocked out in the middle of the game again.

2 – New Orleans over CAROLINA – I want to, but its just hard to pick the Panthers in any situation.

1 – New England over TENNESSEE – Titans fans will watch Drake Maye and think about what should have been with Will Levis.

We’re already on double digit weeks? How can this be!

And after last week, we are ready to get into the double digit portion of the season. We said that we needed a big week last week and I would say we did just that!

Let’s keep it rolling!

Week 10 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

14 – KANSAS CITY over Denver – The Chiefs are going to lose a game this season … … … right?

13 – BALTIMORE over Cincinnati – Can’t play the Raiders every week, Bengals!

12 – WASHIGNTON over Pittsburgh – The Commander should have no business being this high against the Steelers, but here we are.

11 – CHICAGO over New England – Lose this one and there will be a LOT of angry Bears fans

10 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over Tennessee – The Chargers have been one of the quietest solid looking teams this year – along with … … …

9 – CARDINALS over New York Jets - … … … the Cardinals!

8 – Buffalo over INDIANAPOLIS – I’m feeling it this year. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that THE BILLS WILL WIN THE SUPER BOWL.

7 – Minnesota over JACKSONVILLE – Safe the say the Vikings need this one if they want to keep up with the Lions.

6 – San Francisco over TAMPA BAY – If Baker had a wide receiver to throw to this would be a lot closer.

5 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Miami – Take the over on this one for sure!

4 – Atlanta over NEW ORLEANS – Derek Carr needs to get the Saints offense back to where they were in the beginning of the season for me to have faith in them.

3 – Philadelphia over DALLAS – The Cowboys would have at least had a chance if Dak was playing.

2 – Detroit over HOUSTON – This will be a Super Bowl matchup in the next few years.

1 – CAROLINA over New York Giants – Sending these two teams to play in Germany is our wars start.
