Regular Season Week 11
Best news of week 11 for me is that the Giants can’t lose this week because they are on their bye! Hooray! Now if I could just win in both fantasy leagues.
I went 9-5 on my picks last week and won in one league and lost in the other. “CMC Ya Next Season” (4-6), “Won’t You Be My Nabers” (3-7).
Let’s jump into the recap.
Bengals @ Ravens 34-35
Last week when I wrote, “It’ll be a close game but I’m picking the Ravens to win”, I didn’t anticipate it being this close. Had the Bengals not gone for two to win the game at the end of regulation they could have beaten the Ravens in overtime. In other news, fantasy speaking, if you had Ja’Marr Chase, Joe Burrow, or Chase Brown on your team you probably won your fantasy matchup this week. I have Ja’Marr Chase in one league (I won that matchup) but my opponent in the other league had both Burrow and Brown (I lost that matchup).
NY Giants @ Panthers 17-20 OT
I chose sleeping in rather than getting up to watch this game. With this loss, if the season were to end today, the Giants would have the first pick in the draft. Hooray. They’ll just make another wrong decision. Daboll is going to lose his job because he won’t bench Danny. I’m sure Malik Nabers is already looking to be traded. This team is a mess. Congrats Panthers fans. Your team isn’t the worst in the NFL, we are.
Broncos @ Chiefs 14-16
The Chiefs are the luckiest MFers in the league. So many times this season they should have lost and they just can’t. It’s like they are immune to losing. The Broncos were already celebrating their win when the Chiefs defense blocked what would have been a game winning field goal as time expired. I just had to laugh.
Steelers @ Commanders 28-27
I got this pick wrong but I’m ok with it. I’m not gonna lie, I had my doubts about Russell Wilson. He has proved me and his other doubters wrong. I’m happy for him. He’s appreciated by his team and fans and he beat my division opponent.
Vikings @ Jaguars 12-7
This game was sloppy and ugly. Between the two starting quarterbacks there were zero passing touchdowns and 5 interceptions. It’s actually amazing a team won at all. Mac Jones, QB of the Jags, had the only touchdown of the game and it was a rushing touchdown. The Vikings just kicked a bunch of field goals to get the win.
Falcons @ Saints 17-20
I guess with Derek Carr back in the line up the Saints are kinda relevant again. I got this pick wrong. I’m shocked that the Saints pulled off the win. I guess it’s because the Pope tweets about his favorite football team.
49ers @ Buccaneers 23-20
I was super stoked to be able to put Christian McCaffrey back in my lineup for fantasy. Not so stoked that my opponent in the other league, who hadn’t changed his line up since week 2, which I thought would be an easy win, decided that this week was the week he was going to pay attention. He took McCaffrey out of IR to swap out Stefon Diggs, who he still had in his starting lineup and he started Burrow over Aaron Rodgers and Chase Brown over Tyjae Spears. Son of a B. Why couldn’t he have been the Taco of the league for one more week? And I got this pick wrong. Stupid football. I should have started Mahomes over Mayfield. Though even with that change I still probably would have lost.
Bills @ Colts 30-20
Josh Allen didn’t have his best day. He threw no passing touchdowns, just two interceptions, but he did have a rushing touchdown. His day was much better than the Colts QB as the Bills forced 4 turnovers by Joe Flacco. I’m just glad my sidepiece team won.
Patriots @ Bears 19-3
The Bears are bad. There I said it. I mean, I thought the Pats were bad, but the Bears are worse. This was a game of many field goals and just one passing touchdown from Drake Maye to Ja’Lynn Polk. The Pats defense woke up and were sackhappy with Caleb Williams. Williams went 16/30 and only 120 passing yards. Ouch. Not good.
Titans @ Chargers 17-27
Justin Herbert had a good day. He helped his team improve to 6-3. Will Levis actually didn’t have a bad day, with zero interceptions and two touchdown passes both going to Calvin Ridley. The problem was the second touchdown pass came much too late in the game to be meaningful. We call that, garbage time.
Eagles @ Cowboys 34-6
Here’s a fun fact about Jerry World: AT&T Stadium has an unusual east-west alignment from end zone to end zone, as opposed to most venues being north-south. On clear days, the sun shines in the windows on the west side during the first half of games that kick off in the afternoon. Ceedee Lamb is blaming this loss on the lack of curtains in the stadium. True story. You see, pun intended, Lamb couldn’t see the ball to catch it because the sun was in his eyes. When asked after the game whether the Cowboys should put up curtains, Lamb said, “Yes. One thousand percent.” And on the question of making the suggestion to Jones, Lamb said, “I mean, y’all are doing my job for me right now.” It has been suggested plenty of times, and Jones always has flatly rejected it. Jerry Jones said, “By the way, we know where the sun is going to be when we flip the coin, so we do know where the damn sun is going to be in our own stadium … Let’s just tear the damn stadium down and build another one. Are you kidding me?” AMAZING
But it gets even better. There ARE curtains in the stadium. They are used for a lot of events actually, including concerts. So, this means that Jerry just doesn’t want the curtains drawn during the games. I like it because if this keeps the Cowboys from winning, I’m for it!
I love it when the Cowboys implode. I do not love when Jalen Hurts takes touchdowns away from Saquon Barkley. Hurts had 4 touchdowns on the day, Barkley 0. Not fair.
NY Jets @ Cardinals 6-31
Way to go Cards! Kylar Murray finally remembered he has Marvin Harrison Jr. on his team. It’s about time! Murray had two rushing touchdowns and one passing TD to Harrison Jr. It was a beautiful sight, especially at the expense of the Jets.
Lions @ Texans 26-23
The Lions are the second luckiest MFers in the league. The Lions were losing 23-7 in the second half. Jared Goff threw 5 interceptions. The Lions lost the time of possession battle. The Lions were playing a first place team on the road. The Lions won the game.
Dolphins @ Rams 23-15
I didn’t get this pick right and I needed Achane to have 40 fantasy points in order for me to beat my opponent. He didn’t. I lost. The Rams lost. The end.
WEEK 10
Thursday, November 14th
Commanders (7-3) @ Eagles (7-2) (8:15pm PRIME VIDEO)
I’ll be rooting for the Commanders but because the Eagles are at home I think they’ll win the game. The Eagles. I’m picking the Eagles to win.
Sunday, November 10th
Ravens (7-3) @ Steelers (7-2) (1pm CBS)
I picked up Russell Wilson this week in fantasy so I need him to do realllllly well against the Ravens. I have so much confidence I am also picking the Steelers to win this game.
Jaguars (2-8) @ Lions (8-1) (1pm CBS)
I’m picking the Lions to win this game.
Rams (4-5) @ Patriots (3-7) (1pm FOX)
The Rams are coming off an embarrassing loss. Can they right this ship? The Patriots aren’t looking super bad right now. They beat the Bears last week. Can they win at home? They’ve only done so once this season. What the heck, I’m picking the Pats to win their second home game of the season.
Browns (2-7) @ Saints (3-7) (1pm FOX)
With Derek Carr back for the Saints I am picking them to win this game.
Colts (4-6) @ Jets (3-7) (1pm CBS)
The Colts have decided to go back to Anthony Richardson as their starting QB. This could be good news for the Jets, but ultimately it doesn’t matter. I’m picking the Jets to lose this game and continue their downward spiral.
Vikings (7-2) @ Titans (2-7) (1pm CBS)
I'm picking the Vikings to win this game. I don’t have a good reason, other than the Titans are really bad this season.
Raiders (2-7) @ Dolphins (3-6) (1pm CBS)
I'm picking the Dolphins to win this game. As long as Tua doesn’t get hurt again. But that’s not for sure as he isn’t the smartest guy on the field when it comes to taking hits to the head.
Packers (6-3) @ Bears (4-5) (1pm FOX)
I’m picking the Packers to win this game. The Bears are in trouble again this year.
Falcons (6-4) @ Broncos (5-5) (4:05pm FOX)
I’m picking the Broncos to win this game but only because they are at home and because the Falcons have been struggling a little bit as of late.
Seahawks (4-5) @ 49ers (5-4) (4:05pm FOX)
I’m picking the 49ers to win this game and I hope it’s high scoring to boot.
Chiefs (9-0) @ Bills (8-2) (4:25pm CBS)
I am predicting that the Bills end the Chiefs perfect season, this game. I’m rooting for and picking the Bills to win this game! Go BILLS!
Bengals (4-6) @ Chargers (6-3) (8:20pm NBC/Peacock)
This should be a good game. I’m picking the Bengals to win but I wouldn’t be surprised if I got this pick wrong.
Monday, November 11th
Texans (6-4) @ Cowboys (3-6) (8:15pm ABC/ESPN)
It’s a good thing the sun will be down so it won’t interfere with the game. I’m picking the Texans to win this game. I’ll also be rooting for them as well.
BYES: NY Giants, Buccaneers, Cardinals, Panthers
GO G-MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the edit Eric!
