Regular Season
Week 5
We are heading into week 5 and the Rams and Chiefs are still
undefeated. I am 2-2 in my league, which seems like par for the course as far
as records go this season. The Giants let me down again this week, shocking
right? If I was a Bills fan maybe it wouldn’t phase me as much? I went 10-5 on my picks, better than last
week I suppose.
Let’s recap week four.
Vikings @ Rams 31-38
This was a good game to watch. The defense for both teams was
pretty non-existent until the end of the game. Kirk Cousins had a far better
game and for that I am thankful. I didn’t need the Vikings to win, just to play
better. Jared Goff had a REALLY good game and threw for 5 touchdowns and passed
for a career high of 465 yards.
Bills @ Packers 0-22
Aaron Rodgers complained after this game that their offense wasn’t
good enough and had a long way to go. Sounds kind of funny after your team
shuts out their opponent. Poor Bills.
Bengals @ Falcons 37-36
Andy Dalton found A.J. Green for a game winning touchdown in the
final 7 seconds. Bengals fans are just waiting for the bottom to fall out and
are riding this high for as long as it lasts.
Buccaneers @ Bears 10-48
This is the one week I should’ve started Mitch. He had 6, SIX!,
touchdowns for the Bears in the trouncing of the Bucs. In other news,
Fitzpatrick was benched and Winston was named the starting QB for week 5. Also,
Kahlil Mack is still amazing.
Eagles @ Titans 23-26 OT
The Titans won!!!!!! This was one of my gutsy picks and I was
right! I like being right. Overtime was nuts. The Eagles made a field goal and
then the Titans had to get a touchdown to win the game. So that’s what they
did. Mariota found Corey Davis for the touchdown at the end of overtime.
Lions @ Cowboys 24-26
Damnit Lions! You lead the ENTIRE game until the Cowboys kick a
LAST SECOND field goal to win. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Jets @ Jaguars 12-31
We are now seeing that the Jets first win of the season was just a
fluke and they are really the Jets we are accustomed to. Oh well. Blake Bortles
isn’t even good and the Jags still won.
Texans @ Colts 37-34 OT
There was a lot of discussion after this game concerning the Colts
head coach ultimately deciding it was better to lose than tie. Houston was
happy the Colts decided to go for it on fourth down at their own 43 yard line.
Andrew Luck threw an incomplete pass and the Texans took over on downs
and kicked the game winning field goal. Easy peasy.
Dolphins @ Patriots 7-38
You might say the Patriots had something to prove going into this
game after losing the previous two… They took all their rage out on the
Dolphins, who now have their first loss of the season. It was fun while it
lasted Miami.
Browns @ Raiders 42-45 OT
The Browns, I mean, the refs were so nice to help the Raiders get
their first win of the season.
Seahawks @ Cardinals 20-17
Josh Rosin finally got the start in Arizona and it was looking
promising until the Seahawks kicker made a field goal at the end of the game to
put them ahead. Even though the Seahawks won, it came at a great cost. They
lost TE Will Dissley (so did I) and safety Earl Thomas. Thomas was carted off
the field and as he left he flipped his sideline the bird. Instead of holding
out like LeVeon Bell he decided to play and his biggest fear came true; out for
the rest of the season with an injury and no new contract.
49ers @ Chargers 27-29
The 49ers looked decent without Jimmy G and for a moment I thought
they were going to pull off a win. The Chargers wouldn’t let that happen as
they rallied to overcome the 49ers.
Saints @ NY Giants 33-18
This game was depressing... The Giants defense was no match for
Kamara, who is a beast, and ran for three second half touchdowns. It was hard
to watch. I don’t want to talk about it anymore.
Ravens @ Steelers 26-14
Instead of the Ravens falling apart it was the Steelers that
continue to implode. The Ravens got out to an early lead and the Steelers never
fully recovered. Too bad, so sad. Insert sarcasm here.
Chiefs @ Broncos 27-23
This game was so stressful to watch. I came into this game 11.37
points behind with only one player left to play. It was all up to Tyreek Hill
for me to win this week in fantasy. He was only projected to have 10.41 points.
I was a mess. I really just needed one touchdown to seal the deal. That
touchdown never came. I stopped looking at my fantasy app. Mind you, I don’t
get points for kickoff returns. I know my league is a little messed up in the
points department. I thought the Broncos were going to hand the Chiefs their
first loss of the season. I was happy that the Chiefs prevailed but pissed that
Hill didn’t get more touches or a touchdown. When the Chiefs final drive was
over, I felt defeated. I opened my fantasy football app to sulk at my third
loss of the season… Hill had given me 12.12 points. I had won by .75 points. I
went to bed that night happy and relieved.
WEEK 5
Thursday, October 4th
Colts [1-3-1] @ Patriots [2-2] (8:20pm FOX/NFLN/Amazon Prime
Video/Twitch)
Josh McDaniels has to face the Colts again. You remember, he
accepted the Colts head coaching job in the off season and then decided, no I’m
going to stick with the Pats. I’m sure the Colts will welcome him back with
open arms. Insert sarcasm again. I’d like to see the Colts win this game just
to throw the bird back to McDaniels but I don’t think that’s going to happen.
I’m going to pick the Pats to win this game.
Sunday, October 7th
Titans [3-1] @ Bills [1-3] (1pm CBS)
I’ve got the Titans defense so I am picking them to win this game.
Sorry Bills fans, it isn’t personal.
Dolphins [3-1] @ Bengals [3-1] (1pm CBS)
I feel like if I pick the Dolphins to win then the Bengals will
win and visa versa. What the heck, I’m going to pick the Ginger and Green to
bring the Bengals another win.
Ravens [3-1] @ Browns [1-2-1] (1pm CBS)
I’m picking the Ravens to win. The Browns just need to play
smarter and Baker Mayfield needs to stop throwing interceptions.
Packers [2-1-1] @ Lions [1-3] (1pm FOX)
I’m picking the Packers to win. I have a hard time picking against
Aaron Rodgers.
Jaguars [3-1] @ Chiefs [4-0] (1pm CBS)
The Jags still have a lot of injuries and the Chiefs are playing
at home. I’m going to pick the Chiefs to stay undefeated.
Broncos [2-2] @ Jets [1-3] (1pm CBS)
I’m picking the Broncos to win, they have the better defense.
Falcons [1-3] @ Steelers [1-2-1] (1pm FOX)
I’m picking the Falcons to win. Someone will have 2 wins after the
conclusion of this game. Wait! Maybe it’ll end in a tie! BAHAHAHAHA
NY Giants [1-3] @ Panthers [2-1] (1pm FOX)
I’m done picking the Giants, until they can win two in a row… so
maybe next year. I’m picking the Panthers for the win.
Raiders [1-3] @ Chargers [2-2] (4:05pm CBS)
I’m picking the Chargers for the win. Sorry Raiders fans, I think
last week was a fluke.
Vikings [1-2-1] @ Eagles [2-2] (4:25pm FOX)
I really need the Vikings to have an outstanding game without any
touchdowns to Adam Thielen. I’m picking the Eagles to win but hoping the
Vikings do.
Cardinals [0-4] @ 49ers [1-3] (4:25pm FOX)
I’m picking the 49ers to win, though this should be a good game.
Rams [4-0] @ Seahawks [2-2] (4:25pm FOX)
I’m picking the Rams to win, Seattle has begun a downward spiral.
Cowboys [2-2] @ Texans [1-3] (8:20pm NBC)
I’d love to see the Texans win this game and I think they can as
long as they can contain Zeek. I’m picking the Texans for the win.
Monday, October 8th
Redskins [2-1] @ Saints [3-1] (8:15pm ESPN)
Mark Ingram is back from suspension, I’m picking the Saints for
the win.
BYES: Bears, Buccaneers
GO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the edit Eric!
