Regular Season Week 3

Eric and I made it back safely from Burlington! It was an amazing trip, and we can’t wait to return, though we have enough beer to last the winter so it won’t be anytime soon.
I was talking to my coworker the other day about the undefeated teams left in the NFL after week two. After reading her the list, she decided to go play in traffic. I’ll share the list with you now : Broncos, Packers, Rams, Chiefs, Jaguars, Vikings, Dolphins, and Buccaneers! What is this world we live in? I know I’m pretty miffed about it. At least this should be an exciting season. My fantasy team is not one of those undefeated teams, I am 1-1 in my league because AJ Green had THREE flippin TDs. Ahhhhhhhhh! I went 8-5-1 on my picks, damn ties. The Giants let me down, yet again. I shouldn’t be surprised; the past five out of six seasons they have started 0-2. At least I’m not a Bills fan, where they had a player retire at HALF TIME of their last game  

Let’s recap week two.

Ravens @ Bengals 23-24
Do I even need to mention AJ Green’s three flippin touchdowns again? Son of a monkey's uncle. Who knew the Ginger could complete a pass multiple times.

Chargers @ Bills 31-20
At least the Bills scored this game? I mean, you know it’s bad when Cornerback Vontae Davis of the Bills decided to retire at half and just leave the game, forever.

Panthers @ Falcons 24-31
I was right, the Panthers are just not the same team without Greg Olson. The Falcons played harder and came out on top. Even Matt Ryan had more rushing touchdowns than Cam. #sorrynotsorry

Vikings @ Packers 29-29 OT
Well, I said that if Aaron Rodgers played that the Packers wouldn’t lose I wasn’t wrong. In the second week in a row the NFL has had a game end in a tie.The Vikings kicker also lost his job after not being able to win the game for Minnesota in OT.  In other news, it’s nice to have a QB in Fantasy that can really thread the needle! Thanks Cousins!

Texans @ Titans 17-20
Poor Texans. I really thought as banged up as the Titans were they would lose this game but Mr. Irrelevant kicked the game winning field goal with one minute left to put the Titans on top.

Browns @ Saints 18-21
Your team is only as good as your kicker and this proved true for the Browns. Cleveland could have won this game but their kicker couldn’t put the ball between the uprights to save his life, or his job So close Brownies. So close.

Dolphins @ Jets 20-12
The Jets didn’t win but they did do well enough defensively and that’s all I needed in fantasy. Sure, my team still lost, but at least I can’t blame it on the Jets.  

Chiefs @ Steelers 42-37
Man oh man, I do enjoy when a team beats the Steelers. Rookie Patrick Mahomes threw six touchdowns to defeat the Steelers. If only four of those passes we to Tyreek Hill, I might have won at fantasy this week

Eagles @ Buccaneers 21-27
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Is it too early to call a Super Bowl hangover? You know it’s bad when Fitzpatrick, who they are calling Fitzmagic, beats you I wasn’t sad to get this pick wrong.

Colts @ Redskins 21-9
YAAAAAY COLTS! Just another pick I’m glad I got wrong. The Giants need ALL the help they can get and it helped that both the Eagles and Redskins lost this week. Dare I say Luck is back for the Colts?

Cardinals @ Rams 0-34
Poor Cardinals, and holy Rams batman. The Rams may be the best team in the NFL. I mean you would be too if you had Todd Gurley.

Lions @ 49ers 27-30
Garoppolo got his groove back and finally got a win this season.

Raiders @ Broncos 19-20
It was a comeback win by the Broncos in the last minutes of the game but it was enough. And they won by the hair on their chinny chin chins.

Patriots @ Jaguars 20-31
One of my favorite games of the day. I watched with glee as the Jags took down the Pats!

NY Giants @ Cowboys 13-20
I don’t even know where to begin. Ultimately, I’m disappointed, in the O line mostly, or lack thereof. This should have been an easy game to win, especially after the Jags game last week. Yes, we lost our center, Jon Halapio, with a season ending injury, but that can’t take the blame for the entire game. The O line has got to step up or at least exist! This is not Eli’s fault as much as a lot of people would like to place the blame on him. Dear Giants, please don’t make this another long hard season to watch. I’ll have to start calling you B-lite as in Buffalo lite if you continue this way. Also, the Jets have a better record than we do. That’s terrible. Man up!!!

Seahawks @ Bears 17-24
The Bears won with two words, Khalil Mack. The Bears defense dominated while the Seahawks pittered. This was a fun game to watch, and I’m sure the Giants are kicking themselves after letting go of Prince Amukamara after he caught a pick 6 to help the Bears defense win the game.


WEEK 3

Thursday September 20th

Jets [1-1] @ Browns [0-1-1] (8:20pm NFL Network)
Maybe this game will end in another tie? I don’t feel comfortable picking either team for the win. I mean I want the Browns to win a game but at the same time I have the Jets defense so I want the Jets to have a good game Ahhhh. Who to pick? I’m going to pick the Jets to win, only for selfish reasons.

Sunday September 23rd

Saints [1-1] @ Falcons [1-1] (1pm FOX)
I’m picking the Falcons to win, but it’ll be a high scoring game for sure.

49ers [1-1] @ Chiefs [2-0] (1pm FOX)
I’m picking the Chiefs to win. This should also be a high scoring game. How many TDs will Mahomes get this week? Hopefully at least 4 to Hill alone. Fingers crossed.

Raiders [0-2] @ Dolphins [2-0] (1pm CBS)
The Raiders defense is struggling, go figure, after letting Khalil Mack go. I’m going to pick the Dolphins to win this game.

Bills [0-2] @ Vikings [1-0-1] (1pm CBS)
HAH! I’m picking the Vikings to throttle the Bills.

Colts [1-1] @ Eagles [1-1] (1pm FOX)
I’d love to see the Colts win, but Wentz is back so I am going to have to pick the Eagles for the win.

Packers [1-0-1] @ Redskins [1-1] (1pm FOX)
Aaron is still not 100% but I am still going to have to pick Green Bay to win this game.

Bengals [2-0] @ Panthers [1-1] (1pm CBS)
I think the Bengals get their first loss of the season. At least the weather should be nice with Carolina Blue Skies.

Titans [1-1] @ Jaguars [2-0] (1pm CBS)
I’m picking the Jags to win their 3rd game.

Broncos [2-0] @ Ravens [1-1] (1pm CBS)
I think that the Ravens will win this game.

NY Giants [0-2] @ Texans [0-2] (1pm FOX)
Well, one team is probably going to be 0-3 after this game. I’m thinking it’ll probably be the Giants. Where are my knitting needles?

Chargers [1-1] @ Rams [2-0] (4:05pm CBS)
I’m picking the Rams. No brainer.

Bears [1-1]  @ Cardinals [0-2] (4:25pm FOX)
I’m picking the Bears.

Cowboys [1-1] @ Seahawks [0-2]  (4:25pm FOX)
Maybe the Seahawks will win? I’m not sure. I think I’ll pick them just so I don’t have to pick the Cowboys.

Patriots [1-1] @ Lions [0-2] (8:20pm NBC)
Matt Patricia will be reunited with the Pats This will be an interesting game to watch. Will the Lions and Patricia be able to beat the Pats? I think that the Pats will win. I’m not rooting for them and I think it’ll be rather comical if they lose to the Lions.

Monday September 24th

Steelers [0-1-1] @ Buccaneers [2-0] (8:15pm ESPN)
I’m picking the Bucs. Hopefully Fitzpatrick will still be plenty magical.

GO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the edit Eric!
