I've done quite well in the past, not having a great start to this season though. I'm about even.

 

I find I'm not to bad at pre season win totals but picking game to game is just a recipe to lose money.

Teddy vs Rodgers on Thursday night this week?

 

Yes please.

Let's hope Teddy holds up. Not a lot of time for him to heal up.

Nothing ruins a Thursday Night Football matchup like a Christian Ponder sighting.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Teddy has already been confirmed to be starting.

GB -9 is the line with Teddy. Seems a bit high. Maybe.

Vikings aren't a good football team.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Vikings aren't a good football team.

 

Bridgewater carved up a very good Falcons team last week without Peterson.

 

The offense is legit with him at the helm. Defense is young and needs work (mostly their corners).

To be fair, Falcons' defense is trash.

[dineke]

Cool that there are Bridgewater fans on this forum... he was my favorite college football player last year.

[burlingtonbandit]

Neither is GB's defense, this coming from a Cheesehead.

 

I know but GB is at home and one win against Atlanta doesn't take away the fact that the Vikings looked pretty bad the two weeks prior.

Changing a QB is the most significant roster move in professional sports. Going from Cassel to someone who could be average to above average might make the Vikings a true talent 8-8 team or so.

 

GBis obviously better with Rodgers but I was expecting the line to be 7. 9 is alot.

[burlingtonbandit]

Lol, Ponder's in? Oh my.

 

Lol as im about to respond to this post he has a wide open guy and misses him. Not a good time for Florida St. QBs.

[burlingtonbandit]

Is it just me or is TNF always the shittiest game of the week? f***in terrible games the last 3 weeks.

What? You didn't think the Tampa TNF was good?

 

 

..lol

[burlingtonbandit]

..lol

 

That game honestly might be more entertaining than this one. Luckily Oregon will be on National TV and the Angels/Royals game is on in the meantime.

[jays4life19]

For fantasy today who would you guys start?

 

Miles Austin or M Colston and Levon Bell or Matt Forte?

[dineke]

Colston and Bell easily.

[jaysblue]

Lets GO PANTHERS!!!!

[jays4life19]

Colston and Bell easily.

 

Yeah that's what i ended up with. Forte was really tempting, but Bell was a bit cheaper. Panthers run defense is disgusting.

[jays4life19]

Let's go Buccaneers! Let's not f***ing suck as much today!

[jaysblue]

let's go buccaneers! Let's not f***ing suck as much today!

 

panthers!!!!!

[jays4life19]

panthers!!!!!

 

I'm so despaired with the Buccaneers. I'm expecting a double digit loss.

[P2F]

Yeah that's what i ended up with. Forte was really tempting, but Bell was a bit cheaper. Panthers run defense is disgusting.

 

I bet you wish you had started Forte now lol.

[jays4life19]

I bet you wish you had started Forte now lol.

 

Sigh. Yeah.

 

I liked Forte more, but Bell was a bit cheaper and i needed the savings to get Jimmy Graham (who got hurt). Fack.

So Peterson's image takes another hit. Guy is just a huge piece of s***, but the sad thing is there are probably a 100 more guys playing in the NFL who do the same thing.

[burlingtonbandit]

I don't get why people hate on TSN when Sportsnet actually has more channels than TSN

Do they use money from a supposed charity fund? I really don't care if NFL players pay for orgies with their own money. Heck, this isn't the first time something like this has happened involving the Vikings (anyone remember the infamous Love Boat scandal?) but using the charity money just makes Adrian Peterson look like a huge punk. I'm not sure he's going to recover from this. His p.r. campaign is in shambles and since the shelf life on NLF running backs is pretty short anyways seems like it will be pretty easy to just write him off once he's in his thirties.

[jays4life19]

^ lmao why would he admit to smoking " a little weed". That's like going through a RIDE program wasted and telling the officer you "only had 1 beer". Your automatically f***ed as soon as you admit any guilt.

[TheHurl]

JJ Watt now has as many TD as the top 3 Fantasy RB's (in most drafts) combined. This is why I hate fantasy...but love it at the same time. Picked Houston tonight, still think it has a shot.
