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 – DALLAS over New York Jets – Wow, welcome back to reality Jets fans!

15 – DENVER over Washington – You don’t get to almost lose to the Cardinals at home one week and win on the road the next…even if it is against the Broncos.

14 – PHILADELPHIA over Minnesota – No I don’t think that last week showed the true Vikings, just bad timing that they are part of the Eagles’ home opener.

13 – DETROIT over Seattle – Asterisk or no asterisk, the Lions beat Patrick Mahomes in Arrowhead!

12 – PITTSBURGH over Cleveland – Sure this may seem a bit high, but I think last week was more about how good the 9ers are rather than the Steelers being bad.

11 – BUFFALO over Las Vegas – Safe to say the Bills have a lot of anger to take out on the Raiders this week.

10 – New Orleans over CAROLINA – It was a struggle for a team in the NFC South to finish above .500 last season…no real reason to think that will change this year.

9 – TAMPA BAY over Chicago – OK, maybe competing for the division title is at least another year away for these young Bears.

8 – CINCINNATI over Baltimore – I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Joe Burrow will hit triple digits in passing yards this week. That’s not even the Bold Prediction!

7 – Miami over NEW ENGLAND – HERE’S the Bold Prediction – my BOLD PREDICTION for the week is that with an off-season of Bills and Jets hype, THE DOLPHINS WILL WIN THE AFC EAST.

6 – New York Giants over ARIZONA – Keeping with the theme, I still believe the Giants are better than the 40-0 score from last week and can even beat the Cardinals.

5 – Los Angeles Chargers over TENNESSEE – The Titans just don’t have enough offensive firepower to keep up with the Chargers. Weird to say for an offense that includes Derrick Henry and DeAndre Hopkins.

4 – JACKSONVILLE over Kansas City – AFC Championship preview? In the same stadium?

3 – Indianapolis over HOUSTON – This game will happen … follow along if you want.

2 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over San Francisco – If the Rams really are back, this will be the test.

1 - Green Bay over ATLANTA – Is Jordan Love for real or did he just play the Bears? Let’s find out!

So let’s get back to the games!

Week 2 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

16 – PHILADEPHIA over Atlanta – Seems like another season of disappointment headed to Atlanta this year.

15 – BALTIMORE over Las Vegas – (looks at my watch patiently waiting for Aiden O’Connell to take over for the Raiders)

14 – WASHINGTON over New York Giants – So we’re just gonna add Benny Hill music in the background of any time the Giants are on offense, right?

13 – DALLAS over New Orleans – The Cowboys are playing angry and will be a force to be reckoned with … you know … until the playoffs.

12 – KANSAS CITY over Cincinnati – If you lose at home to the Patriots, you’re not allowed to beat the Chiefs in Kansas City.

11 – HOUSTON over Chicago – Hopefully CJ Stroud can show Caleb Williams how to succeed as a rookie quarterback.

10 – Los Angeles Chargers over CAROLINA – Whoever is playing Carolina this season will be the best option for a fantasy football defense.

9 – DETROIT over Tampa Bay – Baker Mayfield is on fire…for one week

8 – JACKSONVILLE over Cleveland – Buyers remorse? My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that DESHAUN WATSON WILL BE BENCHED BY WEEK 12.

7 – MIAMI over Buffalo – Sooooo many Miami PD jokes just speeding through my hea…ope, just got slammed to the street by the Miami PD!

6 – Seattle over NEW ENGLAND – The big win last week made me, well, not put a Patriots loss higher on this list.

5 – San Francisco over MINNESOTA – Can anyone deny the validity of the Madden Curse anymore?

4 – TENNESSEE over New York Jets – I repeat, the Jets are overrated!

3 – ARIZONA over Los Angeles Rams – I, for one, would be excited if Marvin Harrison Jr. were on my team. To each their own though … apparently.

2 – Indianapolis over GREEN BAY – The Colts catch a break with Jordan Love going down last week.

1 – Pittsburgh over DENVER – This will be ugly – take the under.

Hard to get off to a better start than that!

This is why you come back every week, folks! Hitting on 14 of 16 games in week 1…arguably the hardest week to predict?? You’re welcome, all!

So let’s keep the momentum going!

Week 2 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

16 – BALTIMORE over Cleveland – After last week, it was a dumb idea for the Browns to further upset Derrick Henry. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that DERRICK HENRY WILL RUN FOR AT LEAST 200 YARDS.

15 – PITTSBURGH over Seattle – Remember how Brett Favre’s career seemed to be revitalized the year after he left the Jets?

14 – ARIZONA over Carolina – Yes they beat the Saints, but this pick is more anti-Panthers than pro-Cardinals.

13 – DETROIT over Chicago – Safe the say the Lions will want to show the world that they’re still a force in the league.

12 – MINNESOTA over Atlanta –Apparently JJ McCarthy just doesn’t know how to lose a game.

11 – CINCINNATI over Jacksonville – Over … … … take the over here

10 – DALLAS over New York Giants – Jaxson Dart should start to get warmed up.

9 – Los Angeles Rams over TENNESSEE – It will be an interesting fight this season between the Titans and Saints to see who gets to pick first next year

8 – Buffalo over NEW YORK JETS – This game would obviously be higher on our list if the Jets didn’t show us a little something last week.

7 – GREEN BAY over Washington – Unfortunately for us, the potential game of the week will be over before Sunday noon kickoffs.

6 – INDIANAPOLIS over Denver – Did Daniel Jones really just need to get out of New York?

5 – LAS VEGAS over Los Angeles Chargers – Not saying we’ll see another 60+ point outbursts, but watching the Raiders play the Chargers in primetime can always be fun for Raiders fans.

4 – Tampa Bay over HOUSTON – If you’re gonna start the season with back to back road games, Atlanta and Houston aren’t horrible options.

3 – Philadelphia over KANSAS CITY – The Super Bowl rematch will show us that not much has changed since early February.

2 – MIAMI over New England – I don’t think a team needs to win more this week than the Dolphins.

1 – NEW ORLEANS over San Francisco – I feel like the Saints are going to be the “put them on the 1-point line if you think they will win” team this season.
