Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

Don’t look now but we are getting close to the end of the season.

If you are somewhere in the middle of your season long pool, now is the time to start making your move! Though, if you have been following the picks here – obviously you are towards the top :)

So let’s keep it rolling!

Week 11 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

15 – NEW ENGLAND over New York Jets – Drake Maye is the favorite right now to win the MVP so he’ll show out in Prime Time. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that DRAKE MAYE WILL HAVE THE FIRST 300 YARD GAME OF HIS CAREER.

14 – Baltimore over CLEVELAND – Never a fan of having a road team this high … but can you blame me?

13 – GREEN BAY over New York Giants – Please re-read what I said on the previous game.

12 – BUFFALO over Tampa Bay – The fact this game is as high on our list as it is shows how close the games will be this week.

11 – ATLANTA over Carolina – This will be the game to show the Panthers just aren’t there yet.

10 – MIAMI over Washington – We’re sorry, Madrid. We really did think we were going to send you a game with two solid teams.

9 – PITTSBURGH over Cincinnati – Always fun to see these two play eachother.

8 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Seattle – This could go a long way in determining where a potential playoff matchup with these two teams is played.

7 – Kansas City over DENVER -  I still just can’t buy the Broncos as a top team in the league.

6 – PHILADELPHIA over Detroit – Hopefully this one will be more entertaining than last weeks Eagles / NFC North matchup

5 – San Francisco over ARIZONA – With how competitive the NFC West is, you can’t afford to lose a divisional game

4 – Houston over TENNESSEE – No CJ Stroud – no problem.

3 – Chicago over MINNESOTA – As long as the Bears realize there are four quarters in a game against the Vikings they should be fine.

2 – JACKSONVILLE over Los Angeles Chargers – I have said “San Diego Chargers” multiple times this week … … … just though I would share that.

1 – Dallas over LAS VEGAS – (Looks at 2026 Mock Drafts to find Raiders net quarterback)

Oh this is going to be a fun week for us!

Only two or three “sure things” – plenty of road teams to be picked – having to decide between the Raiders on the Browns…just so many reasons why this is sure to be a crazy week!

No point in delaying the inevitable …

Week 12 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

14 – BALTIMORE over New York Jets – In a week of unsure’s, at least we have THIS matchup.

13 – DETROIT over New York Giants – All seems right with the world when the two New York teams make up the wrong end of the top two lines.

12 – Seattle over TENNESSEE – Hopefully Cam Ward can see Sam Darnold on the other sideline and realize that a slow start doesn’t make or break a career.

11 – GREEN BAY over Minnesota – Who knew this would be a matchup to see who will stay out of the NFC North basement?

10 – SAN FRANCISCO over Carolina – A healthy 9er offense will be too much for the Panthers to handle.

9 – Buffalo over HOUSTON – The week starts with what SHOULD be a potential playoff matchup, but the Texans just can’t seem to get it together when they’re not playing the Titans.

8 – Philadelphia over DALLAS – Can’t play the Raiders every week, Cowboys.

7 – Indianapolis over KANSAS CITY – Passing the torch?

6 – CINCINNATI over New England – This just seems like a game that will bring the Pats down a peg or two.

5 – CHICAGO over Pittsburgh – How relieved were Bear fans seeing Aaron Rodgers get hurt last week?

4 – Atlanta over NEW ORLEANS – I have no faith in my ability to pick the Falcons at this point.

3 – ARIZONA over Jacksonville – The Jags just don’t see like a team that can string two solid games together.

2 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Tampa Bay – Just sit back and enjoy…and take the over

1 – LAS VEGAS over CLEVELAND – It’s a no-win situation for Shedeur Sanders this week. Even with this win though, my BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that THE RAIDERS WILL HAVE THE FIRST PICK IN THE DRAFT.

We’re back to full strength!

Well, at least for one week.

Once again all 32 teams will be playing this week. Thanks to a full day’s worth of football action on Thursday, and even a Black Friday game!!, all teams will need to be on duty on Sunday! With that comes the chance for more points so let’s cushion our lead in the season long pools!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! To take a short break from the football mentality, I do want to let you know that I am thankful to those that follow along with me and read my stuff – thank you!

OK…back to FOOTBALL!

Week 13 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

16 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over Las Vegas – Yes the Raiders have been bad for years, but its been a while since they have looked THIS bad.

15 – NEW ENGLAND over New York Giants – Drop this game down a few lines if Jaxson Dart does play, but should still be an easy Monday Night win for the Pats

14 – SEATTLE over Minnesota – So JJ McCarthy is apparently NOT the answer for the Vikings?

13 – TAMPA BAY over Arizona – The Bucs really need a home game against the Cards this week.

12 – INDIANAPOLIS over Houston – The Colts showed their inexperience in KC last week. They need this “get right” game.

11 – BALTIMORE over Cincinnati – Joe Burrow’s back!!! … yeah doesn’t matter this week.

10 – DETROIT over Green Bay – I feel like the Lions should only play the Packers or Bears on Thanksgiving – who’s with me?

9 – MIAMI over New Orleans – Obviously more about the Saints losing than the Dolphins winning.

8 – PHILADELPHIA over Chicago – The Bears are close, just not at an Eagles level yet. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that SAQUON BARKLEY WILL HAVE OVER 175 YARDS THIS WEEK.

7 – San Francisco over CLEVELAND – Can’t play the Raiders every week, Shedeur.

6 – Kansas City over Dallas – I’m thankful that the Chiefs are currently not in the playoff picture.

5 – WASHINGTON over Denver – I feel like I’ll just keep picking the Broncos to lose … which the Broncos will apparently keep taking personally.

4 – PITTSBURGH over Buffalo – If Rodgers isn’t playing, switch this to Buffalo.

3 – CAROLINA over Los Angeles Rams – This just seems like a trap game for the Rams.

2 – TENNESSEE over Jacksonville – Wait, we’re picking the Titans? Why aren’t they on the one-point line? …

1 – NEW YORK JETS over Atlanta – … oh, I understand now.

Since the league extended to 17 games and 18 weeks a few years ago, bye weeks have also been extended.

We’ll get back to our full schedule of games soon enough – but for this week we need to stay on our game…as we do!

Week 14 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

14 – TAMPA BAY over New Orleans – Tyler Shough looked solid last week, don’t think he’ll be able to string two in a row together though.

13 – Denver over LAS VEGAS – Why would you think the Raiders will win another game this year?

12 – Los Angeles Rams over ARIZONA – Safe to say the Rams learned a lesson last week in Carolina.

11 – JACKSONVILLE over Indianapolis – The Colts have troubles winning in Jacksonville even when the Jags are bad! My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that despite the strong start, THE COLTS WILL NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS.

10 – BALTIMORE over Pittsburgh – I don’t think this is what the Steelers envisioned when they signed Aarond Rodgers … … … probably should’ve been though.

9 – Seattle over ATLANTA – The Seahawks seem to be able to handle backup quarterbacks pretty easily.

8 – BUFFALO over Cincinnati – Obviously this game dropped down a few lines after the impressive comeback from Joe Burrow.

7 – CLEVELAND over Tennessee – Take the Under in this one.

6 – DETROIT over Dallas – So these two are just going to play on Thursday the rest of the year then?

5 – Chicago over GREEN BAY – I doubted the Bears in a big road game last week…I won’t make that mistake again.

4 – Philadelphia over LOS ANGELES CHARGERS – We find out this week if the Eagles are just coasting into the playoffs

3 – MINNESOTA over Washington – Let’s all just pretend this game is taking place last year – that would be a LOT more entertaining.

2 – Houston over KANSAS CITY – Houston has had luck in Kansas City in the last few years and obviously this Chiefs team has seen better days.

1 – NEW YORK JETS over Miami – The Jets might win two games in a row … that’s the world we live in right now.
