Last week I went 7-9, bringing my season total to 82-73-5. I lost my best bet (Chiefs), which was especially frustrating for two reasons: 1) the way that game played out and 2) I basically flipped a coin between KC and Tennessee, and the Titans easily covered. I’m now 7-2-2 on the year. Not that it means much, but I do feel more comfortable with this week’s slate of games than I have in a while. I had a hard time coming up with a best bet, since I liked a few but loved none. I really like the Chiefs as home dogs against a bad Bills team traveling during a short week. I also felt better about backing the Falcons and Chargers. As for New England, I expect them to bounce back after a tough loss to the Jets, especially with 10 days to prepare. The Patriots will have revenge on their minds after the Dolphins embarrassed them in Week 3, and it’s never easy to win five straight games in the National Football League.
Bengals +11 at Steelers
Eagles +1 at Ravens

Raiders +10 at Broncos
Panthers +1 at Falcons
Giants -3.5 at Cardinals

Hey Dalton, nice to see you on the Jets this week….safe to say this is a huge game for us.
Would you stay away from Housh tonight in a .5 per reception league? My other options at flex are L.Moore/Avery and Pierre Thomas/A.Pittman….we award 8 points and 8 yards is a point, so it’s biased towards RB’s….need a win for a shot at the two-seed and a bye.
Are you sippin’ the Morrow kool-aid, or will be cool off soon? I had to ask you.
i meant say to 8 points for a rushing TD, and eights rushing yards is a point.
I’d bench Housh. If R. Bush is out, P. Thomas could be huge this week. And worse comes to worse you can roll with L. Moore.
Not sure on Morrow yet. He def. needs to be added in all leagues, and it sure looks like he can shoot the rock.
thanks for such a quick response.
i was surprised to see p.thomas available on the wire, since it’s a 14-team league.
i picked up morrow in two leagues, three at one point only top drop him because i felt i went overboard…ha….ended up with c. mobley, who i think can help out at SG despite having less of an upside factor.
P. Thomas has to be owned in every league. Nice swoop.
great job this week, gonna have em in wednesday night for Thanksgiving games?
Thanks. I’ll post them soon actually. But I really hate this week’s slate.
