With 9 weeks in the books, the cream is floating to the top.  The best teams are taking care of business in match ups and even in big games there were clear winners.                                             […]

So, most people probably thought they were doing pretty well in Week 9 in the early games.  The were stand out performances, but if you didn’t have guys in the late games you may have gotten rolled.  I am going to apologize, in advance, that this post will be a bit abbreviated due to other […]

Week 8 is the near halfway point of the NFL season.  The cream is starting to rise to the top, but with 2 quarters in the books, there are still opportunities in the divisions to make a playoff run.  I think the schedule makers are getting big points this year for putting these teams against […]

Week 8 gave us some great on field match ups that we were waiting for.  However, there were not too many breakout games out there like earlier in the year.  This happens when you hit the byes and not every team is playing plus the injuries start to pile up. Week 8 Review: Jameis Out, […]

The NFL really knows how to keep you engaged.  Between the rule changes encouraging offense, instant replay, seemingly infinite camera angles and probably 28 teams that are remarkably close in talent, you get results like you did on Sunday.  That is why the NFL is king and it isn’t even close.

Fantasy Football can really be maddening.  You spend weeks getting ready for the Draft.  Then, maintain your team by working the wire and maybe some trades to get the best possible group.  However, you cannot control last second trades that essentially nullify players and last minute scratches on guys who you count on every single […]

Fantasy can be maddening.  I mean in one of my leagues I’m the 2nd leading scorer, but I’m 2-4.  I continue to score a ton of points, but I face off against that team that goes off.  In fact, I was up like 25 points going into the 4th quarter of the Sunday Night game, […]

The NFL is wild.  In addition to the gambling podcast, Side Action, I participate in 2 ATS or Against the Spread pools.  Well, to date the favorites have won just 44.87% of the games, which is pretty low.  On average over the course of time, favorites win 50% of their games.  Well, 5% may not […]

The NFL is so fun because it is virtually unpredictable.  The results of the games were baffling, but even more so, you had a variety of performers that came out of nowhere – like very week.  So, in addition to the reviewing of Week 5, I’ll take a crack at looking at players and maybe […]
