I’ve spent a lot of time, folks. Slating everybody in the league. Starting fights on the blog. I’ve ridiculed everyone’s roster. And I just wanna say from the bottom of my heart – I’d like to take this chance to apologize … to absolutely nobody! The Triple Dipper Champ does what the fuck he wants! (6-1, 34-36) You’re welcome.
Matchup of The Week: Remember Tyler Berry vs Charles Schwab Series 7
Brad L vs Tyler
The battle of the Lopes bros. A rivalry as old as Brad himself. There are some lowball projections on Brad’s team. I expect a big day out of Crowder. Cinci has not been great against the WR and I think Woods could have himself a day too. Bennett seems like he may get the full workload this week with Gronk’s chest woes. Two of those three guys are in my FanDuel lineup so go Brad! I can root for Brad with all of my heart, but he’s not gonna win. Tyler’s team (and my FanDuel team), lead by Matthew Stafford off a bye this week, looks nice. He’s got great matchups and personally I would play Michael Thomas tonight over Crabtree against Houston. But that’s just me.
Colin A “missing person” vs The Tom Hillier Experience
Colin vs Myself
Looking ahead through my matchups in the beginning of the season I was counting on a week 9 win against Brad and a week 11 win here. I was happy to see that Marshall and Julio had byes. Funny enough, Colin’s chances should realistically improve with Marshall out of his lineup this week. But let’s be honest, if I had to pick it’s Julio I don’t wanna play against. Colin’s running backs have great matchups but thankfully Stewart and Newton can’t score at the same time. Hopefully, the Panthers don’t go too bonkers. This won’t be as easy as it seemed week 1 but I’ll get the win. I’d be a lot more nervous if Colin kept up with his team. Like at all.
For The Luck of Tom(In my Head) vs Team Janice Whartenby
Brendan vs Carey
Brendan no longer has my luck. Alshon is suspended and I now have like 5 starting RBs. Carey is gonna ride Mariota’s hot dick, I mean hand, while Tom Brady has another Handoff Fest. Murray, AKA Brendan’s entire team, has a great matchup (on my FanDuel) but that’s really it. I can appreciate the Eddie Royal start (on my DraftKings) but he’s a home run shot in the dark type play. Neither of us should expect for him to pay off. Carey should win handily, the way he did last week..
NOMO ROMO vs Chips n’ Gronk
Tj vs Xavi
Last week, I said Xavi’s game was the easiest to call and that he’d get 100 points. He [100 emoji] percent did not [sad face emoji] and failed to put up 3/4 of that. Whoops. At least I got all the other games right. Oddly enough, I think this is the hardest one to call. I am truly tempted to pick Tj, but he’ll be happy to know that I am picking against him. Xavi has some tough matchups including a big test for Diggs, a tough front seven for Ajayi after his disappointing outing and Hopkins with a good matchup (that is actually a tough matchup these days). Tj finally got Martin back though. Just in time!!!
Brad “the poop” Williamson vs Andrew Pooped His Pants
Andrew vs Weston
Weston’s team is in its full form this week but Andrew gets Bell against the Browns. He is projected to outscore his own quarterback. It may go that way and it may not. Zeke was treated to an early departure against the Browns but not before he scored two tuddys. Benjamin against NO looks tempting but he hasn’t had a touchdown in awhile and if he does, I’m sure it can be swiftly cancelled out by Weston’s AJ Green or TY Hilton. Jennings sucks, Fitzgerald is gonna see Rhodes and Landry’s QB is awful (I chose Tannehill over Newton last year). Those three less than stellar pieces make me believe that Weston will win and that’s not even mentioning Blake Bortles.
Josh Gordon Is Coming vs Crook’s Trophy Shop
Steven vs Brad W
I mentioned before that I’m starting Matthew Stafford so I would love for him to throw some touchdowns to Ebron and Jones who are on Steven’s team. However, I don’t really care how he gets them. Riddick catches a lot of passes, Boldin has been a red zone vulture (at least to Marvin Jones) and hey I’ll even welcome some backups. What I’m saying is, I don’t feel supremely comfortable with those two especially when Brad has David Johnson and Blount. The Vikings have looked more human and we all know that David Johnson is a super human. Blount will be the beneficiary of the aforementioned Patriots Handoff Fest. I know I’m not even comparing the same positions but Steven’s only way out is a huge game from Brandin Cooks. We’ve seen it before and we’ve seen the opposite just as much. To recap, I’ve got Brad here but let’s see if it gets interesting tonight after Cooks starts us off.
My final prediction: A winning prediction record after this week [bicep emoji]!
