Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

Trades…vaccination issues…felony car crashes…MVP’s lost for the season…teams telling stars to just go home…don’t you just hate how boring the week can be before we get to the next Sunday?

Well let’s try to get some for excitement back and get going with these picks!

Week 9 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

14 – DALLAS over Denver – Much to the dismay of, well, basically everyone outside of Dallas, it seem like this Cowboys team is legit.

13 – Buffalo over JACKSONVILLE – An obvious candidate for our top line this week, but its hard to 100% trust a road team.

12 – NEW ORLEANS over Atlanta – Sure there are QB questions in New Orleans now, but there are way more issues in Atlanta right now.

11 – KANSAS CITY over Green Bay – Obviously there is one big factor to think of when picking this game…game time temp…right?

10 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Tennessee – A prime time game against one of the best looking teams in the league is not the best time to lose your MVP running back.

9 – PITTSBURGH over Chicago – The Steelers showed that they won’t just be rolling over and dying this season last week – not good news for a struggling Bears team.

8 – INDIANAPOLIS over New York Jets – It’s really hard to think that the Jets can run on Mike White’s magic again.

7 – CINCINNATI over Cleveland – The Browns just seem to have too much locker room drama to win in Cincy.

6 – BALTIMORE over Minnesota –  I’ve been on the Viking bandwagon most of the season…losing to Cooper Rush is a quick way for me to jump off.

5 – MIAMI over Houston – With all the trade rumors behind him, I see a big day for the current Miami quarterback. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that TUA WILL FINISH WITH OVER 400 PASSIG YARDS.

4 – Las Vegas over NEW YORK GIANTS – Welp, the Raiders won their last “after a rough week” game following the Gruden following, playing the Giants is a reason to think they can do it again.

3 – New England over CAROLINA – If Christian McCaffrey ends up playing, feel free to flip this one to a Carolina win.

2 – PHILADELPHIA over Los Angeles Chargers – Last week gave me reason to pump some breaks on the Chargers being an elite team.

1 – SAN FRANCISCO over Arizona – It sounds like injuries are catching up to the Cardinals. 

It’s Christmas week and I think it’s safe to say that most teams wish lists are pretty similar…they want players!

Between injuries and COVID protocols, we have a player shortage that has rivaled that of the ongoing supply shortage in the world! Obviously, this makes it a little more difficult to make picks…but that’s just part of the fun!

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you and your families have a safe and fun one!

16 – KANSAS CITY over Pittsburgh – It’s going to take a lot more than what the Steelers have right now to take down the Chiefs.

15 – DALLAS over Washington – I doubted the Cowboys the last time these two played – won’t make that mistake again.

14 – Tampa Bay over CAROLINA – A depleted offense won’t be an issue for the Bucs when they are against Cam Newton led offense.

13 – Los Angeles Chargers over HOUSTON – The Chargers are in need of a game against the Texans.

12 – GREEN BAY over Cleveland – It’s not the playoffs yet so you can still count on a Packers win.

11 – CINCINNATI over Baltimore – A backup backup quarterback isn’t the best strategy when heading into Cincy.

10 – SEATTLE over Chicago – Are excited are you to see Nick Foles under center for the Bears??

9 – PHILADELPHIA over New York Giants – How can you predict the Giants to win another game this season?

8 – LAS VEGAS over Denver – Not only do the Raiders collapse in the second half of seasons, but once pretty much out of playoff contention, they get back on the winning track to mess up their draft position…this year will be no different.

7 – ATLANTA over Detroit – The Falcons haven’t been good this season, but they are good enough to win at home against the Lions…so that’s something I guess.

6 – Los Angeles Rams over MINNESOTA – If Dalvin Cook does play in this one, still pick the Rams but drop it down a few lines.

5 – TENNESSEE over San Francisco – AJ Brown is back and should be heavily used for a Titans win.

4 – NEW ENGLAND over Buffalo –The Pats should all but wrap up the AFC East crown after this week.

3 – Indianapolis over ARIZONA – Just hand the ball off, Carson! My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that Jonathan Taylor will rush for over 200 yards this week.

2 – Miami over NEW ORLEANS – When you have to bring in a rookie quarterback to start, you’re chances to win are pretty slim.
