The Shenoa Report
November 7, 2024
Regular Season Week 10

If you are a long time reader, you probably know I’m devastated right now. 

If you’d like to know why, keep reading. If not, start scrolling, I’ll tell you when to stop in big huge letters…. 

 I try to keep politics out of this report, but you all know I am more liberal than conservative. This is not a shocking statement, and if it is, this next part may be a doozie for you. I’m still trying to wrap my head around this election. Maybe if you voted for 45 you don’t need social security, because that’s one of the first things he says is going away. Maybe you also don’t actually know how tariffs work because you didn’t pay attention in high school when they were taught. A tariff is a tax imposed by a government on goods and services imported from other countries that serves to increase the price and make imports less desirable, or at least less competitive, versus domestic goods and services. Meaning, you the consumer pays the tariff, not the government. Get ready for higher prices on everything not made in the USA. (Like all those red hats made in China as well as the “American Bible” also made and printed overseas.) Just in case you forgot, we had a bipartisan border bill, but 45 killed it because he wanted something to run on. The GOP’s excuse said it was about Ukraine funding. BS. They passed Ukraine funding right after that. Speaking of the border, with his promise of mass deportation of immigrants I just thought you should know that Undocumented Immigrants pay BILLIONS of dollars into social security and do not receive the benefits.  48% of the agricultural workforce is undocumented immigrant labor. These people should be celebrated for doing the labor intensive jobs and for propping up our social security, medicare, and labor system in our country.  You think grocery prices and building costs are high now, wait until no one “american born” is wanting or willing to build your new house, or pick fruits and vegetables for your dinner table.  Economists state that the mass deportation plan, if carried out as described, will worsen the housing crisis and create an economic crisis in the long run. 

Maybe if you voted for 45 you don’t know any people of color, females, or LGBTQ humans. If you do know one, or all of these people, you sure as hell don’t care for their wellbeing. Women are already dying because they can’t get the healthcare they need in the states that have banned abortion. YOU DIDN’T BAN ABORTIONS, YOU BANNED SAFE ABORTIONS.  If you are so concerned about babies being born maybe give a F about them when they are children. Give them free lunch, fix gun laws so the children don’t ever have to prepare for or witness another mass shooting.  No one needs an AR15. Sorry not sorry.  It is abundantly clear that you aren’t concerned about these people. 

I am concerned for all the people.

Maybe I shouldn’t have waited till now to break my silence. I am mad. I am angry, and I am terrified at what is in store for the next 4 years. The last time he was in charge millions of people died from a pandemic. Instead of helping America he sent covid tests to his BFF in Russia. Sure doesn’t sound like keeping America first to me. I could go on and on and on but frankly, it won’t change your mind. I just needed to get it off my chest. 

STOP SCROLLING!!!! 

If you are still reading, thank you. Let’s get back to football. I was super stoked to go 13-2 on my picks last week and I actually won a game in fantasy 195.44 to 114.74!!!!! This was my super bowl.   “CMC Ya Next Season” (3-6),  “Won’t You Be My Nabers” (3-6). 

Let’s jump into the recap, which isn’t going to be much, as I’ve lost all my steam. 

Texans @ Jets 13-21

This was a tale of two halves. The Jets came back and won it. I got the pick wrong. I was tired and went to bed before the ending of the game. 

Dolphins @ Bills 27-30

I got this pick correct. So what I said last week in the preview must have been true. 

Broncos @ Ravens 10-41

I had hoped that this would be a low scoring game because I started the Broncos defense. That was not the case. I got -3 points. 

Chargers @ Browns 27-10

Another pick correct, but really that was a no brainer. 

Saints @ Panthers 22-23

I got this pick wrong too but I feel like no one picked the Panthers to win. I mean, the Saints fired their head coach after this loss. 

Raiders @ Bengals 24-41

I picked the Bengals to win this game because the Raiders just aren’t good this year and I was correct. 
 

Commanders @ NY Giants 27-22

I’m not even mad. I’m back to being numb when it comes to the Giants. 

Cowboys @ Falcons 21-27

Dak Prescot was injured during this game and will be out for at least a couple of weeks and Kirk Cousins got his revenge on the Cowboys. 

Patriots @ Titans 17-20 OT

It took overtime but the Titans got it done. 

Bears @  Cardinals 9-29

I’m pretty sick of Kyler Murray not targeting Marvin Harrison Jr. I didn’t even break 80 points in fantasy partly because of this dismal performance. 

Jaguars @ Eagles 23-28

Yo! The Jags almost beat the Eagles. That would have been amazing but I would've got the pick wrong. Also, go watch the clip of Saquon hurdling over a guy backwards. It was insane. 

Lions @ Packers 24-14

Yahoo for the Lions! Another step closer to the Super Bowl! 

Rams @ Seahawks 26-20

Yup got this pick right too! 

Colts @ Vikings 13-21

I was right. The Vikings had lost two in a row. I didn’t think they'd lose three, and they didn’t. 

Buccaneers @ Chiefs 24-30 OT

I had decided to take Tuesday off from work so I was able to stay up and watch this whole game. I was actually excited it went into overtime. For the first time this season I started Mahomes over Mayfield. It was the right decision. 


 

WEEK 10

Thursday, November 7th

Bengals (4-5) @ Ravens (6-3) (8:15pm PRIME VIDEO)

It’ll be a close game but I’m picking the Ravens to win this game.  

Sunday, November 10th 

NY Giants (2-7) @ Panthers (2-7) (9:30am NFLN)

This game will be played in Germany, note the time. Will I set an alarm to wake up and watch it? Nah, sleep is more important than watching my team struggle. Even though I think the Giants can and should win this game, I’m done picking them to do so. Like I’ve said all season, as long as DJ is the starting QB we will lose every game. I’m picking the Giants to lose. 

Broncos (5-4) @ Chiefs (8-0) (1pm CBS)

I’m picking the Chiefs to win this game. 

Steelers (6-2) @ Commanders (7-2) (1pm CBS)

I’m picking the Commanders to win this game but will be rooting for the Steelers. 

Vikings (6-2) @ Jaguars (2-7) (1pm FOX)

I’m picking the Vikings to win this game. 

Falcons (6-3) @ Saints (2-7) (1pm FOX)

I’m picking the Falcons to win this game. 

49ers (4-4) @ Buccaneers (4-5) (1pm FOX)

Fingers crossed that Christian McCaffrey is back in the lineup for the 49ers, that’ll really help my fantasy team (I’ve already benched Marvin Harrison Jr in anticipation). I also need Baker Mayfield to do well so I am going to pick the Bucs to win. 

Bills (7-2) @ Colts (4-5) (1pm CBS)

I’m picking the Bills to win this game. 

Patriots (2-7) @ Bears (4-4) (1pm FOX)

I’m picking the Bears to win this game. 

Titans (2-6) @  Chargers (5-3) (4:05pm FOX)

I’m picking the Chargers to win this game. 

Eagles (6-2)  @ Cowboys (3-5) (4:25pm CBS)

I’m picking the Eagles to win this game, the Cowboys are toast without Dak. 

NY Jets (3-6) @ Cardinals (5-4) (4:25pm CBS)

I’m picking the Cardinals to win this game but only because I don’t want to pick the Jets.

Lions (7-1) @ Texans (6-3) (8:20pm NBC/Peacock)

I'm picking the Lions to win this game. 

Monday, November 11th

Dolphins (2-6) @ Rams (4-4) (8:15pm ABC/ESPN)

I’m picking the Rams to win this game.
