Regular Season Week 15
It’s my birthday week and I am
celebrating a lot of things. I returned to work this Monday and I am
celebrating that I am off disability. I
got a win in one of my fantasy leagues and have made it to the championship
semifinal. I hope to be celebrating again on Monday night with another win.
Hopefully I can celebrate a Giants win in my new Michael Strahan jersey thanks
to the amazing man by my side. I wish I could have celebrated a Giants win last
week too but it was nice to see Eli back on the field.
I went 6-10 on my
picks OUCH, won in one league and lost in the other fantasy league. My records
are 9-5 and 5-9.
Before
I recap week fourteen let’s remember that any given day any given team can win,
or lose. Week fourteen was one of those weeks in which the team you thought
would win lost and the team you thought couldn’t win, did… Except for the
Giants…
Saints @ Falcons 17-20
So, I
picked the Saints to win this game, and they very well could have won if they
hadn’t lost RB Kamara in the first quarter do to a concussion. This was a big
blow for the Saints and any fantasy football guy who had Kamara in their
starting line up… like my opponent. But, this did help me doubly, especially because I started the Saints
other RB Ingram. In the end it was the
Saints defense that couldn’t stop the Falcons winning the game.
Colts @ Bills 7-13 OT
This was a heck of
a game to watch!!! Can we say SNOW BOWL!
The entire game looked like it was taking place in a snow globe and all
the players were playing in slow motion. Over a foot of snow fell during this
game, it was amazing to watch. Fans love watching these games, but I don’t
think players like playing these games, particularly when they go into overtime,
like this game did. The Bills won it with a McCoy touchdown in OT.
Cowboys @ NY Giants
30-10
I held back tears
when the stadium erupted in a cheers and a standing ovation when Eli took the
field. It was good to see him back under center and for three and a half
quarters it looked like the Giants might actually pull off a win. They didn’t,
and I changed the channel to the Bills game when it all started to fall apart
in the fourth.
Vikings @ Panthers 24-31
The
Panthers surprised me. I really thought the Vikings were going to tie the game
and bring it to overtime. Instead, Jonathan Stewart was the beast of the game
and the Panthers actually won.
Raiders @ Chiefs 15-26
I knew
as soon as I stopped picking the Chiefs they would win a game. Oh well. Just another
game I got wrong this week.
Bears @ Bengals 33-7
This
may give you a laugh, but I started Andy Dalton over Cam Newton in fantasy
thinking Cam was playing the unstoppable Vikings and Dalton was playing the
terrible Bears at home! The Ginger did NOT have a good game and I thought my
fantasy playoff run was over for sure. I pouted and sulked and swore a
lot. I should’ve started Cam… Oh well,
just another pick I got wrong.
Packers @ Browns 27-21 OT
The
Browns lead for most of the game but let the Packers come back and take the
game in overtime. Sorry Brownies. This win seems to ensure an Aaron Rodgers
return.
Lions @ Buccaneers 24-21
An
injured throwing hand didn’t seem to affect Stafford as he threw for close to 400
yards in the win over the Bucs.
49ers @ Texans 26-16
The
49ers now have a better record than the Giants and that hurts my heart a little
bit. Garoppolo seems to have saved San Francisco; I’m just wondering what
happened to the Texans defense.
Jets @ Broncos 0-23
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? (Said in my Dick Vitale voice) I can’t believe
the Jets laid an egg. Even the Giants beat the Broncos 23-10… I’m disappointed
and got ANOTHER pick wrong.
Titans @ Cardinals 7-12
The Titans shouldn’t have lost this game! The Cardinals kicker was
the only guy that scored points with 4 field goals. Crazy.
Redskins @ Chargers 13-30
Finally, a pick I got correct. The Chargers are doing quite well
for starting the season 0-4. Oh yeah,
the Redskins have been mathematically eliminated form the playoffs this season.
Eagles @ Rams 43-35
I
really thought the Rams were going to win this game, and they didn’t. Carson
Wentz threw 4 touchdowns but won’t be throwing any more this season. He tore
his ACL in this game and is done for the year.
Seahawks @ Jaguars 24-30
The
Jags have been flying under the radar all season and you know what, their
defense if for real. Yeah, they fooled me too. I got this pick wrong as well.
Ravens @ Steelers 38-39
This is
the 5th, fifth, FIFTH game that the Steelers have come from behind
and won with a field goal in the final seconds. Ridiculous!
Monday, December 11th
Patriots @ Dolphins 20-27
Coming
into this game all of my fantasy football post-season hopes had been dashed. I
had like a 7% chance of beating my opponent who had Tom Brady as his starting
QB. “So, you’re telling me there’s a
chance”… In order for me to have any
chance at a win, Tom Brady would have to have one of the worst games in his
career. The guy who completes the majority of his passes and hardly ever throws
interceptions would have to play like Jay Cutler. Let’s just say I didn’t have
high hopes as the Pats were playing Jay Cutler’s Miami Dolphins… I almost didn’t
even want to watch the game. The Patriots took the field after the Dolphins
scored a field goal and then, Tom Terrific threw an incomplete pass and then an
INTERCEPTION! A deep sounding “YEEAAAHHHHHH!!!!” escaped from my mouth and I
decided I had to watch the rest of the game. The Dolphins won and Brady had one
of the worst games of his career and I am headed to the next round of the play
offs. Another pick I got wrong, but
somehow I stopped caring.
WEEK 15
Thursday, December 14th
Broncos (4-9) @ Colts (3-10) [8:25pm NBC]
The
Broncos always have a hard time at Lucas Oil so I’m going to pick the Colts for
the win.
Saturday, December
16th
Bears (4-9) @ Lions (7-6) [4:30pm NFL]
I’m picking the
Lions, as they haven’t been eliminated from hopes of the playoffs.
Chargers (7-6) @
Chiefs (7-6) [8:25pm NFL]
I’m picking the
Chargers for the win but I am hoping that Hill has a few touchdowns.
Sunday, December 17th
Packers (7-6) @ Panthers (9-4) [1pm FOX]
I’m
picking the Panthers to win, but the Packers still have a chance to get into
the playoffs and Aaron Rodgers is back so … this should be interesting.
Dolphins (6-7) @ Bills (7-6) [1pm CBS]
I’m
picking the Bills to win, but only because they are home and the Dolphins
should struggle in the cold.
Eagles (11-2) @ NY Giants (2-11) [1pm FOX]
I will
be sporting my Michael Strahan #92 jersey and cheering on the NY Giants but
picking the Eagles to win this game.
Ravens (7-6) @ Browns (0-13) [1pm CBS]
I am
picking the Ravens to win this game.
Bengals (5-8) @ Vikings (10-3) [1pm CBS]
I am
going to have to go with the Vikings to bounce back and win.
Jets (5-8) @ Saints (9-4) [1pm CBS]
I am
picking the Saints to win this game and hoping for another shut out. Sorry Jets;
I’m playing the Saints defense.
Cardinals (6-7) @ Redskins (5-8) [1pm FOX]
I’m picking the Redskins to win.
Texans (4-9) @ Jaguars (9-4) [1pm CBS]
I’m picking the Jags to win at home.
Rams (9-4) @ Seahawks (8-5) [4:05pm FOX]
I think the Rams will win but the Seahawks need this win more and
are playing at home so I guess I’ll pick the Seahawks, but I won’t be surprised
if I am wrong.
Patriots (10-3) @ Steelers (11-2) [4:25pm CBS]
I’m
picking the Pats to bounce back and beat the Steelers.
Titans (8-5) @ 49ers (3-10) [4:25pm CBS]
I’m
picking the Titans to win.
Cowboys (7-6) @ Raiders (6-7) [8:30pm NBC]
I’ll be
rooting for the Raiders but picking the Cowboys for the win, I hope I’m wrong.
Monday, December 18th
Falcons (8-5) @ Buccaneers (4-9) [8:30pm ESPN]
I’m
picking the Falcons and rooting for the Bucs.
GO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
