Regular Season Week 10
I know that I don’t have a lot of followers on this little blog and I’d be quite flabbergasted if anyone actually affiliated with the NFL reads this but, I’ve got to say something to the commentators. Commentators of the game, STOP USING THE PHRASE “NOTHING DOING”! Stop. Just stop. It makes you sound uneducated and it doesn’t make a damn bit of sense. You all get paid a lot of money to be on national television calling the game. Stop sounding like a damn fool. Phew! I’ve been wanting to say that for years.
Stepping down from my soap box.
If you like sports, this is the best time of the year. Up until this weekend you could’ve watched the MLB, NHL, NBA, NFL and college football. I mean I guess there are other sports going on too, but these are the big ones. The World Series concluded on Saturday night when the Houston Astros took the series at home against the Phillies. Basketball is also underway and the World Champion Golden State Warriors have gone on a 6 game road losing streak. It’s crazy to me to think that my NY Giants have a far better record than my GSW.
We are now more than half way through the season. I don’t like how fast time goes by. Week 9 was another “any given Sunday'' week with some pretty major upsets. I went 9-4 in my picks, the Giants couldn’t lose because they had their bye, and for the first time in years I’m below .500 in fantasy. 4-5. I didn’t break 100 points and I lost by over 100…Ouch.
Week 10 byes include Bengals, Jets, Patriots, and Ravens. Also, in Week 10 we’ll have our first Germany game. I heard that tickets sold out in less than 5 minutes. Before we get too much more into week 10 let’s recap week 9.
Eagles @ Texans 29-17
At first it looked like the Eagles just looked past the Texans. Philly was playing sloppy and making a lot of mistakes they normally do not make. The score was tied going into the half. But it seems that the Eagles halftime adjustments worked and they held the Texans to just a field goal for the rest of the game.
Chargers @ Falcons 20-17
I thought I’d made the right choice in starting Marcus Mariota, as the Falcons were up 10-0 in the first quarter. I was wrong. It was only the first quarter that the Falcons actually looked good. Mariota finished with only 7.5 points in fantasy. On the other side of the ball the Chargers seemed to have a much better game, well much better than my fantasy team. Austin Ekler had two total touchdowns as the Chargers squeaked out a win with a field goal as time expired.
Dolphins @ Bears 35-32
Speaking of squeaking out a win, the Dolphins barely beat Da Bears. This was probably not the best day to start the Dolphins defense. Justin Fields broke the record for the most rushing yards by a quarterback in a regular season game. Fields had 178 rushing yards, previously Michael Vick had the record with 173 yards. He also had a 61 yard rushing touchdown, longest run by a Bears quarterback, and he threw for 3 scores. All of those records came without a win.
Panthers @ Bengals 21-42
Joe Mixon had 5 touchdowns. While P.J Walker had just 9 passing yards and two interceptions in the first half for the Panthers. It’s no wonder Baker Mayfield started the second half, it’s also no wonder the Bengals won this game.
Packers @ Lions 9-15
Aaron Rodgers had 3 redzone interceptions in this LOSS to the LIONS. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I think that’s all that needs to be said. Oh wait. Congratulations on an amazing win Detroit!
Colts @ Patriots 3-26
The Patriots defense had a monster day. They had 1 touchdown, 1 interception, 9 sacks, 1 blocked punt and only allowed 3 points. They were the star of this game, and ultimately cost Colts head coach Frank Reich his job. Reich was relieved of his duties on Monday morning.
Bills @ Jets 17-20
Ok. The Jets are officially good. The mentality that the Jets suck is over. They beat the Bills in this stunner and hurt Josh Allen in the process. Allen is being evaluated for an elbow injury to his ulnar collateral ligament as well as related nerves. It sounds ouchy and not at all good for the Bills.
Vikings @ Commanders 20-17
The Vikings are now 7-1. I did not see this coming. I’m happy that the Commanders lost because that helps the Giants. I just wish that Dalvin Cook had more touches, yards, and touchdowns in this win. In other news, my fantasy team absolutely sucks.
Raiders @ Jaguars 20-27
Speaking of sucking, let me introduce you to the Raiders. They were up 17-0 and then completely collapsed. I liked it better when they were shutting out the Jags because my opponent had Travis Etienne who went off for 109 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Well, at least I got the pick right.
Seahawks @ Cardinals 31-21
I’m so sick of hearing about how amazing Geno Smith is. I’m also sick of getting picks wrong and losing in fantasy. My opponent had Kenneth Walker who had 2 touchdowns and put up 27.9 points in fantasy as well as DeAndre Hopkins who also had a touchdown and 13.6 points. For comparison, one of my starting wide receivers put up 4.4 points.
Rams @ Buccaneers 13-16
I should’ve started Tom Brady. He only put up 15 points in fantasy but that was way more than my starting QB did. Brady had a fantastic night. He became the first quarterback to put up over 100,000 passing yards in his career. Insane. He also looked more like himself as he orchestrated an amazing drive at the end of the 4th quarter to finally get a much needed win.
Titans @ Chiefs 17-20 OT
I’m not going to lie, I went to bed at the start of the fourth quarter. Time travel (daylight savings) kills me. From what I saw, it was a decent game that went back and forth. Derrick Henry continues to be a monster in the rushing game and the Titans didn’t seem to miss starting QB Tannehill. Rookie Malik Willis really held his own for his first start in the NFL. He was pretty composed throughout the entire game. Harrison Butker was the hero of the game though as he kicked the winning field goal to end the game in overtime.
Ravens @ Saints 27-13
The Saints are garbage. Thank god for the Manningcast. This week’s guests were nothing to write home about and I think that the show would’ve been better without them. I didn’t need to hear Luke Bryan talk about being drunk, nor Kirk Cousins about anything, and Sean Payton didn’t really do anything for me either. In order for me to win in fantasy Kamara had to have 10 touchdowns without Lamar Jackson getting any points. Like I said, I lost. Horribly. As did the Saints.
WEEK 10
Thursday, November 10th
Falcons (4-5) @ Panthers (2-7) (8:15pm PRIME VIDEO)
Panther fun fact: Even though they have only won 2 games this season every team that has faced the Panthers this year has lost their following game. Every. Single. One. So, the Falcons may win this week but will probably lose next week. This week, I’m picking the Falcons to win, though the Panthers came to play the last time the two teams met up. And I bet you anything that if D.J. Moore scores a touchdown he’ll keep his helmet on this time around.
Sunday, November 13th
Seahawks (6-3) @ Buccaneers (4-5) (9:30am NFLN)
This will be the NFL’s first game in Germany. It’ll be played at Allianz Arena in Munich. It’s another morning game so make sure your lineups are set if you’ve got anyone playing! I’m picking the Bucs to win, and I’m hoping I’m right!
Vikings (7-1) @ Bills (6-2) (1pm FOX)
I think it really all depends on how healthy Josh Allen is. Right now he is day to day, but the Fantasy Focus guys are telling fans to not plan on him playing. If he plays I’m picking the Bills to win. If he doesn’t then I’m not so sure about my pick. I think I’m still going to pick the Bills to win.
Lions (2-6) @ Bears (3-6) (1pm FOX)
I think the Lions lose another close one, unless they can stop Justin Fields. Which means, I am picking the Bears to win this game.
Broncos (3-5) @ Titans (5-3) (1pm CBS)
The Titans have definitely turned a corner and are dominating. They lost a close one last week and I don’t think they’ll do it again this week. I’m picking the Titans for the win.
Jaguars (3-6) @ Chiefs (6-2) (1pm CBS)
Trevor Lawrence is 6-20 through 26 games, this is the worst record among all quarterbacks ever drafted number 1 overall. I predict that Lawrence is going to be 6-21 after this game. I’m picking the Chiefs to win.
Browns (3-5) @ Dolphins (6-3) (1pm CBS)
Tyreek Hill currently has more receiving yards than the Falcons, Giants, Texans, Ravens, Bears and Titans whole WR core. I’m picking the Dolphins to win this game.
Texans (1-6-1) @ NY Giants (6-2) (1pm CBS)
Danny Jones has 5 game winning drives this season. No other quarterback has more than 3. Danny, let’s make it 6! The Giants are fresh off their bye. Well some of them are fresh, unfortunately some of the rookies spent their bye week in Cabo and Xaiver McKinny decided to break his hand while driving an ATV. Not cool. It’s a good thing we picked up Landon Collins who was our previous starting safety. I’m going all in on the Giants this week in fantasy, so hopefully it doesn’t come back to bite me. I’m picking the Giants to win. GO G-MEN!
Saints (3-5) @ Steelers (2-6) (1pm FOX)
Kenny Pickett is living up to his name. He’s tied for the 2nd most interceptions this season and he’s only started 4 games. I think that the Saints might actually be able to win this game. GO KAMARA. Please.
Colts (3-5-1) @ Raiders (2-6) (4:05pm CBS)
I think it’s safe to say that the Colts are going to tank the rest of the season. I mean, their interim head coach is former center Jeff Saturday. No offense Jeff, but you have zero college or NFL coaching experience and have no schooling for it. I’m picking the abysmal Raiders to win this game.
Cowboys (6-2) @ Packers (3-6) (4:25pm FOX)
The Packers are done. Even Lil Wayne has weighed in and said that #12 is washed up and should be benched. I’m picking the Cowboys to win this game. Also, I picked up the Dallas defense so I hope A-aron throws another 3 interceptions.
Cardinals (3-6) @ Rams (3-5) (4:25pm FOX)
Both of these teams are TERRIBLE! And both teams starting QBs are questionable going into this game. Kyler Murrary hurt his hamstring and Matt Stafford is in concussion protocol. I guess I’ll just pick the Rams for the win.
Chargers (5-3) @ 49ers (4-4) (8:20pm NBC)
I dropped the 49ers defense so I totally expect them to win. Also Debo Samuel is supposed to be back in the line up. I’m picking the 49ers to win this game.
Monday, November 7th
Commanders (4-5) @ Eagles (8-0) (8:15pm ESPN/ABC)
A little bit about the Eagles undefeated season: They beat the 1-6 Lions by 3. They played the Vikings in primetime, Kirk Cousins is 2-10 in primetime. They beat the Commanders. They beat the Jags, who for the past 2 seasons have gotten the first pick in the draft. They beat the Cardinals without D-Hop. They beat the backup quarterback in Dallas. They beat the Steelers, who have 2 wins this season. And last week they struggled against the 1-6 Texans. I’m just saying their road to success hasn’t been difficult by any means. I’d like to see the Commanders win this game. That would be fabulous. I’m still picking the Eagles to win but I doubt they go undefeated this season.
GO G-MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the edit Eric!
