Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

Just one week into the season and we have already seen a lot!

But do we really KNOW anything based off of one week? As you’ll see in this week’s picks, no, not really! Don’t forget that just a couple years ago the Jaguars upset the Colts in week 1 and created a bit of a hype train for themselves!

…they proceeded to finish the season 1-15. Week 1 isn’t the end all-be all of the season.

So let’s get back to the games!

Week 2 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

16 – GREEN BAY over Chicago – I’m not saying it will be similar to the aforementioned Jaguars season, BUT…my BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that THE BEARS WILL BE PICKING FIRST IN THE 2023 NFL DRAFT (oh I’m gonna get a lot of flak for this one…)

15 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Atlanta – While week 1 doesn’t normally provide conclusive opinions, we did have yet another example of the Falcons with a large 4th quarter lead being the most unstable combination in the league.

14 – BUFFALO over Tennessee – Simply put, the Bills are going to be hard to beat this year.

13 – DENVER over Houston – Not even Nathaniel Hackett making decisions on any level can help the Texans this week.

12 – BALTIMORE over Miami – Remember what I said about Lamar playing like he wants to get paid? Yeah, let’s just keep rolling with that!

11 – SAN FRANCISCO over Seattle – To say that the 49ers offense looked as bad as it did last week was due to the game being played in Lake Michigan would be an understatement.

10 – LAS VEGAS over Arizona – We all knew that DeAndre Hopkins is great, but who knew he would be so crucial to the stability of the Cardinals’ offense?

9 – Tampa Bay over NEW ORLEANS – Ho-Hum…the Bucs are still good.

8 – CLEVELAND over New York Jets – There’s a elf that will be painted in the middle of the field…I don’t know, that’s about as excited as I can get for this one.

7 – Cincinnati over DALLAS – I would say that the way the Cowboys offense looked was due to a solid Tampa defense…but then there goes Dak…

6 – KANSAS CITY over Los Angeles Chargers – Just a quick reminder…Patrick Mahomes is OK

5 – PITTSBURGH over New England – This one can be considered the “Was Week 1 Really How They Are?” Bowl

4 – PHILADELPHIA over Minnesota – This should just be a fun one to watch with the Eagles winning simply because they are the home team.

3 – DETROIT over Washington – For the first time in years, the Lions are favored! That, plus the fact that Carson Wentz having a good game one week means a horrible game the next should make you pretty confident with the Lions…but obviously not TOO confident.

2 – NEW YORK GIANTS over Carolina – Even if the kick at the end of the game last week went in and the Giants lost, you would still have to feel confident in how they looked over all…and with how bad the Panthers looked.

1 – JACKSONVILLE Indianapolis – Surprisingly enough, the Colts haven’t won in Jacksonville in a few years. After how both teams looked last week, hard to see that trend changing…but always keep the Jags on the one-point line.
