Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

We’re back to full strength!

Well, at least for one week.

Once again all 32 teams will be playing this week. Thanks to a full day’s worth of football action on Thursday, and even a Black Friday game!!, all teams will need to be on duty on Sunday! With that comes the chance for more points so let’s cushion our lead in the season long pools!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! To take a short break from the football mentality, I do want to let you know that I am thankful to those that follow along with me and read my stuff – thank you!

OK…back to FOOTBALL!

Week 13 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

16 – WASHINGTON over Tennessee – Safe to say the Commanders now know how to handle inferior opponents at home.

15 – KANSAS CITY over Las Vegas – Remember when the Raiders won in KC last Christmas?? Yeah, let’s just keep remembering that.

14 – DETROIT over Chicago – Bears fans, be thankful that this is the early game and you’ll still have plenty of Thanksgiving to enjoy after.

13 – DENVER over Cleveland – It still just doesn’t feel right having this much faith in the Broncos.

12 – GREEN BAY over Miami – Look for Josh Jacobs to get a lot of touches to help calm the Dolphins offense down.

11 – MINNESOTA over Arizona – Not even having Daniel Jones’ on your roster could stop the Vikings this week.

10 – BUFFALO over San Francisco – SNOW GAME!!!!

9 – Houston over JACKSONVILLE – Something tells me this could be a trap for the Texans

8 – Los Angeles Rams over NEW ORLEANS – The Rams are hot and healthy at the right time! My  BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that THE RAMS WILL WIN THE NFC WEST.

7 – BALTIMORE over Philadelphia – The Ravens reminded the league just who they are with last week’s domination against the Chargers …

6 – ATLANTA over Los Angeles Chargers – …and the Chargers will still be reeling from it.

5 – Indianapolis over NEW ENGLAND – Drake Maye is close, but not there just yet.

4 – Pittsburgh over CINCINNATI – I have faith in the Bengals scoring a lot of points, and giving up more.

3 – CAROLINA over Tampa Bay – What a weird week when a Panthers win is at number 3 …

2 – NEW YORK JETS over Seattle – …oh, its because the Jets could win

1 – DALLAS over New York Giants – The NFL doing its part to aid in the nations inevitable food coma on Thanksgiving afternoon!

Since the league extended to 17 games and 18 weeks a few years ago, bye weeks have also been extended.

We’ll get back to our full schedule of games soon enough – but for this week we need to stay on our game…as we do!

Week 14 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

13 – PHILADELPHIA over Carolina – Bryce Young has been showing some improvement, but not enough for what would be needed this week.

12 – TAMPA BAY over Las Vegas – Predicting a Raiders loss needs to explanation at this point

11 – PITTSBURGH over Cleveland – I’m just here for the Jameis Winston quotes

10 – MINNESOTA over Atlanta – The Vikings may end up being the least talked about 12 win team every with the division they are here

9 – KANSAS CITY over Los Angeles Chargers – I was never on board with the concept of the refs helping the Chiefs win games … … … then

last week happened.

8 – MIAMI over New York Jets – Remember when this game was gonna decide the AFC East?

7 – DETROIT over Green Bay – When did Amazon go from getting the worst matchups to the Game of the Week??

6 – SAN FRANCISCO over Chicago – This would be a lot higher if the 9ers didn’t have so many questions on offense now.

5 – Buffalo over LOS ANGELES RAMS – Don’t think the Bills will have to worry about AS much snow this week in LA

4 – Cincinnati over DALLAS – So much disappointment in one game. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that BILL BELICHICK WILL BE THE NEXT COACH OF THE DALLAS COWBOYS

3 – ARIZONA over Seattle – I’m pretty sure the two NFC West games in week 18 will have division title implications.

2 – TENNESSEE over Jacksonville – The Jags would win this game with Trevor Lawrence

1 – NEW YORK GIANTS over New Orleans – Hunch…just a hunch

Finally! They’re done!

We are heading into week 15 and FINALLY we are done with bye weeks! 16 games a week for the rest of the season! That means we’ll have more chance for points in our pools.

Of course…we do have to pick them correctly.

So let’s get to it!

Week 15 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

16 – MINNESOTA over Chicago – This being one-half of a late-season Monday Night Football doubleheader will at least give Bears fans something else to watch in the second half.

15 – DENVER over Indianapolis – OK, officially on the Broncos hype train this year. My BOLD PREDICTION this week is that BO NIX WILL WIN OFFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

14 – Baltimore over NEW YORK GIANTS – I feel like the Ravens NEED a game against the Giants this week.

13 – Kansas City over CLEVELAND – I’m sure the refs will let the Chiefs lose one more game this season to not make it seem SO obvious, but it won’t be this week.

12 – ARIZONA over New England – Look for Kyler to have a massive outing in this one.

11 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over Tampa Bay – Is this one too high? You tell me!

10 – Washington over NEW ORLEANS – Too many injuries at this point for the Saints to overcome.

9 – Cincinnati over TENNESSEE – The Bengals have been waiting all year for this stretch of opponents

8 – Atlanta over Las Vegas -   This being one-half of a late-season Monday Night Football doubleheader will at least give Bears…I mean Raiders fans something else to watch in the second half.

7 – HOUSTON over Miami – This could be a really exciting or really boring game – either way the Texans win

6 – SAN FRANCISCO over Los Angeles Rams – The week starts off with a total toss up thanks to the injury bug

5 – CAROLINA over Dallas – Sums up the Cowboys perfectly that the Panthers beating them is on the FIVE point line!

4 – DETROIT over Buffalo – Game of the Year – just enjoy!

3 – Green Bay over SEATTLE – When will we stop thinking of the replacement refs when thei matchup/location comes up? … … … Not this year is apparently the answer.

2 – Pittsburgh over PHILADEPHIA – Not a good week to have inner-turmoil, Eagles!

1 – New York Jets over JACKSONVILLE – Aaron Rodgers is on the one-point line to beat the Jags, throwing a bone to Bears fans with this one!

Normally, being just a few weeks away from the end of the season, playoff positions are solidified and we need to take into account that teams may be benching star players.

Not this year though! While some teams have clinched a berth, it seems that every playoff seed is still up for grabs and this is just another week!

Week 16 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

16 – BUFFALO over New England – Josh Allen could go for 70 fantasy points in this one.

15 – GREEN BAY over New Orleans – By the time you finish reading this, Josh Jacobs will have scored again.

14 – CINCINNATI over Cleveland – The battle for Ohio because apparently that’s something to battle for?

13 – Detroit over CHICAGO – It’s almost over Bears fans…it’s almost over.

12 – Los Angeles Rams over NEW YORK JETS – Safe to say the Rams should actually be able to put the ball in the endzone this week unlike last week.

11 – Tampa Bay over DALLAS – The Bucs are getting hot at the right time – a game in Dallas won’t exactly cool them down.

10 – KANSAS CITY over Houston – Obviously you’re dropping this game WAY down if Mahomes doesn’t play, but I think he will.

9 – ATLANTA over New York Giants – Michael Penix Jr. played Michigan in the last game that he started … the Wolverines provided tougher competition than the Giants will for his NFL debut

8 – INDIANAPOLIS over Tennessee – I still have faith in Anthony Richardson. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that ANTHONY RICHARDSON WILL WIN COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR NEXT YEAR.

7 – MIAMI over San Francisco – Remember in the pre-season when people thought this could be a Super Bowl preview?

6 – Arizona over CAROLINA – Kyler Murray vs Bryce Young, I’d make a height joke, but I’m short on time…

5 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over Denver – Who knew this game would have no real meaning…because both these all but clinched playoff spots already.

4 – Pittsburgh over BALTIMORE – The Ravens just don’t seem like they can win big games like this.

3 – WASHINGTON over Philadelphia – I feel like this may be another week of undervaluing the Eagles.

2 – Jacksonville over LAS VEGAS – There are 23 teams in the league who have as many or more wins than these two teams combined…that is my preview,

1 – SEATTLE over Minnesota – I feel like this may be another week of undervaluing the Eagl…I mean the Vikings.
