David Webb is getting snaps, so I've heard, so that answers the bonus question. I wasn't scoring it anyway, but it'll be interesting to see just how bad Webb is given they aren't even playing him ahead of Geno when they need to know what he can do.
Even Nathan Peterman got the start...
Game of the Week: Eagles v Seahawks. Over/under 57.5pts. - This should be a cracking game, but I think the Eagles have the edge on both sides of the ball. Their offence benefits from going against the Seahawks without the LOB, while the Eagles' defence should cause havoc, although it might come down to whether they can actually tackle Russell Wilson once they insta-beat the shitty Seattle O-Line. An Eagles win would be great for the Saints too, so that's also a factor
Redskins v Cowboys - You've got to expect Dallas will be better than they have been the last few weeks, but I still think the Redskins will edge it.
Saints v Panthers - I've said it a lot, the Panthers are good, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed we're better. Think this is a Brees game too.
Steelers v Bengals - This will be close & fiery like always, but Pittsburgh just have enough to take it.
Colts v Jaguars - This probably won't be close. Jags DST to dominate as usual/
Falcons v Vikings - Another close game, but I'm hoping the Vikings do us a favour & come away with the win.
Browns v Chargers - Back to the formula!
49ers v Bears - I actually think Chicago will win, but there's potential either way so I'm taking the gamble.
Giants v Raiders - What an awful looking gameRaiders might even get another pick this week!
Rams v Cardinals - Sorry Blaine.
Patriots v Bills - The formula v2 looks to be just as bulletproof as v1.
Broncos v Dolphins - Is this a worse game than Oakland/NYG? It certainly pushes it close. Miami to nick it in a game filled with shit QB play & short drives.
Chiefs v Jets - This is like my CHI/SF pick. Surely KC can't stay this shit? Maybe they'll even let Kareem play this week.
Ravens v Lions - If Stafford sits this will change, otherwise the Ravens offence will let their defence down.
Packers v Buccaneers - Hundley & Adams keep Rodgers interested, while Jamies does Jameis stuff.
Texans v Titans - Mariota's comeback game after some proper shite the last two weeks.
#1 QB: Marcus Mariota
#1 RB: Jordan Howard
#1 WR: Davante Adams
#1 TE: Jared Cook
#1 DST: Lions
Leonard Fournette will score: 13pts
Game of the Week: Eagles v Seahawks. Over/under 57.5pts. Seahawks and Under. We've not really been tested against a top QB yet and Wilson is on fire.
Redskins v Cowboys - Redskins add to the misery though, Dak will have a much better game
Saints v Panthers - Saints
Steelers v Bengals - Always a spicy game, Steelers take it again
Colts v Jaguars - Colts. They have nothing to lose and Jags are inexperienced nearing the play-offs
Falcons v Vikings - Vikings. The Lions may have poked holes in the defence, but Vikings are the better overall team here.
Browns v Chargers - Chargers
49ers v Bears - Bears. Very underrated defence, though it'll be a lot closer with Jimmy G playing.
Giants v Raiders - Raiders in an all out shitfest
Rams v Cardinals - Divisional game, Cards to spring an upset
Patriots v Bills - Pats all day
Broncos v Dolphins - Shitfest continues. Dolphins win.
Chiefs v Jets - Chiefs stop the rot
Ravens v Lions - Lions to take, unless Flacco starts playing well suddenly.
Packers v Buccaneers - Bucs have nothing to play for but the Cheeseheads do have the slightest chance. Green Bay
Texans v Titans - Hardest one to call for me. Titans.
#1 QB: Brady
#1 RB: Melvin Gordon
#1 WR: Michael Thomas
#1 TE: Gronky Kong
#1 DST: Chargers
Leonard Fournette will score: 7 points
Plus a SUPER SPECIAL BONUS QUESTION!!!

I’ve just realised that three of my picks for #1 player at their position are on Pleb’s fantasy team & another is on Mahow’s
You can see why I’m not confident of keeping my bye. Really need Rivers & the Eagles DST to have big games this week.
Fixed.Originally Posted by Pleb
Only one to get the Thursday game right, I like these little victories that I pull off.
Just watching the redskins game. Holy fuck they basically just threw it away with mistakes. Fumbles, drops, tipped passes for interceptions.
Kirk is really missing DJ and Garçon.
Speaking of games that got thrown away, did you see the Stanford/USC game last night?
Robbery.
That 4th down call late on was insane. Still not really sold on Sam Darnold, although he's probably a better version of what Carson Wentz looked like in college, so I should love him.
Ronald Jones thoughNot a fan of USC letting him wear 25 on offence & someone else wear it on defence, mind. Bryce Love looks good too - a bit of Lev Bell in the way he moves at the line sometimes, but he's got more speed.
Fuck sake, I'd have recorded that if I'd known about it.
Worse still, Live mother fucking HOCKEY is meaning college gameday is only on from 4-5. What the flying fuck kind of scheduling is that bullshit?
If I can't red button that shit I'll be raging.
There's a condensed version on YouTube (minus the first two minutes):
I've got all the games on record as usual, but I generally end up watching them there if they have them.
We've signed Alshon Jeffery on for another 4 years.
Hopefully some CB depth in the draft and I really like our unit for the next few years.
Man, UCF are fun to watch. I really like McKenzie Milton, and Shaquem Griffin is a great story. Hopefully Scott Frost stays until Milton's done, but it sounds like he's probably off to Nebraska.
This game has been great so far - 24pts in the first quarter & three or four huge plays, as you'd expect from the two highest scoring teams in college football.
I've opted for the Arsenal game instead, but goergia auburn at half 8 I'm all over.
If keryon Johnson is out or struggling, auburn might well struggle. The qb is good, but Johnson keeps the defence respectful.
That game's going to have to go some to outdo this one - another TD within 30 seconds of Q2 starting. 400 yards of total offence in the first quarter alone, and it ended with a 62 yard play with the clock at 0:00.
And another by the time we hit 13:00. Apparently Vegas had the over/under for this at 85pts, and they might end up being close - we're already at 38
EDIT: Memphis have a player called Joey Magnifico
Now we've got a player ejected for targeting on the passer, when the passer was the RB & the throw got picked, but they guy fell out of bounds & got injured. Then the very next play was tipped & intercepted at the 3. Don't see that every week. It's 24-21 with 6mins left of the half.
UCF/Memphis update:
2:30 to go in the third quarter - UCF 45 - 34 Memphis. It's one of those college football games where defence is banned, which I normally hate, and yet I'm loving it.
Glad you went with the Arsenal game @Foe?
By the sounds of it I'd say he is.
The Arsenal game was incredible. Got this on now. 89 points
However, there doesn't appear to be any defence whatsoever.
Nope, the fact the best defensive player on either side only has one hand should sum up how good the tackling has been
That sort of shit is exactly why I have a soft spot for Texas Tech. Go long!
Again, it's hard to really judge an offensive player in a game like this, but Anthony Miller has a bit of Antonio Brown about him.
96pts with just over 4mins to play. Can we hit triple figures, or will a FG win it?
I turned it on to see the last TD.
Have there been any punts or even field goals?
UCF are gonna lose this at the death
Three combined punts, I think. Maybe two FGs each too.
lol at Memphis.
Fucking hell.
I think I might have a better chance than this kicker.
I was more edgy on that than in most Saints games
EDIT: McKenzie
Who the fuck is he throwing too?
He's made literally about four bad throws the entire game, three of them ended up being INTs & the other was an underthrown pass that could've been a big play. Everything else has been Rosen-esque. Kind of fitting that after all those points it end up coming down to a missed FG, an INT then a sack all inside the last minute of the game to take it to overtime.
1399 combined yards, pissing hell.
Gotta love the smarts of the Memphis defender that just pushed Otis Anderson over when he was beaten
That's a brilliant catch by Miller.
If he's not unable to go back in then UCF should surely win.
lol, UCF \0/.
That was a cracking game. I might buy a McKenzie Milton jersey
Also good to see Baker 'Dickgrab' Mayfield & Oklahoma stomping TCU to get themselves all but assured of a spot in the final four.
Antonio Brown questionable for MNF. My entire fantasy team has collapsed in the last month.
A week late, the bastard (in real life).
I'm trying to work out how the CFP committee will work bama in.
Oklahoma are in, the winner of auburn/Georgia are in.
The winner of Clemson v Miami should be in.
That means a Wisconsin loss to Ohio State is required and it'd be a conversation between bama, Ohio state, the loser of auburn/Georgia, clemson/Miami and USC?
Gets interesting if Georgia beats auburn here, given auburn stomped bama but would have 3 losses.
I don't think they can, other than just to put them in because they're Alabama.
As you say, Oklahoma are in along with the winner of the ACC, and probably the winner of this game, even if it's Georgia. If Wisconsin win then they have to be there too, and if Ohio State win I don't see how you can say Alabama have a better case than them.
I'm sure they'll find a way to shoehorn them in though, since they seem to be treated like the collegeball lovechild of the Patriots & the Cowboys.
Just looking back at bama season and the only teams of note they bear are LSU, Texas A&M and Miss St. I'm not sure pumping guff like Vanderbilt, Tennessee, ole miss and cupcakes tells you anything because if I was Ohio state / Miami / Clemson / wisonsin / USC / auburn / Georgia I'd be saying that I'd be doing the exact same thing.
Penn state being an independent really fucks them over. They're out the conversation after the regular season.
Well this one's over, I should think. Jake Fromm v Baker in the championship game please.
Penn State have been in the Big Ten for decades.
Perriman back on the inactive list after having 0 catches on Monday
Hopefully he doesn't make it back onto the pitch in a Ravens jersey.
Campanaro offers so much more than him as does Chris Moore.
First round wideout no less to.
At least laquan treadwell can point to diggs and thielen as quality wrs keeping him out the team. Perriman doesn't have that luxury, he's just way off the pace. A bit like Kevin White at the bears (has he even made it into the field yet?)
Yes but he's been fucked by injuries (3 years in the league and he's gone on IR in all 3), Perriman just can't catch then his confidence goes down and his hands get worse.
He's being outperformed by every WR, he's lucky that Adeboyejo got injured as he was stunning in pre-season. Perriman offers nothing right now, even when some screens were called to get him the ball so he could run he was dropping them.
Any bets today?
Bet 1: Titans, Raiders, Jags -9.5, Steelers, Packers, Jets, Chargers -13.5
Bet 2: Titans, Raiders, Steelers, Keenan allen TD, Alvin Kamara TD, Jordy Nelson TD.
Kelce
Greg Jennings sounds like he's only learned to speak in the last year.
Get Peterman in.
Nortman > Bortles.
Jags have loved a fake punt this year, it's a wonder that no one is covering the underneath just in case.
Kelce is a don.
