Plebs pick for WR is inspired....

[Dan]

He’s about as much of a WR as Ted Ginn, to be fair.

[Limoutsonik]

Game of the Week: Saints v Rams. Over/under 54.5pts. Over 54,since Saints defense is suspect without Lattimore.Saints win.

Vikings v Lions (Thursday)=Vikes wins riding Case's hot hand
Chargers v Cowboys (Thursday)=Sean Lee is out and they don't have a run game now so a grudge win for the Bolts.
Giants v Redskins (Thursday)=Skins asCousins has another monster game and he rides Perrine all the way to victory.
Bills v Chiefs=Chiefs win and it's a blowout.Poor Bills will suffer the wrath of the 4 straight loss Chiefs.
Titans v Colts=Tits win partly because the Colts are a dumpster fire.
Browns v Bengals=Bengals.'Nuff said.
Buccaneers v Falcons=Falcons seem to have their swagger back so easy Falcons win.
Dolphins v Patriots=Really?Smokin' Jay?Pats win easily.
Bears v Eagles=Eagles.'Nuff said.
Panthers v Jets=Interesting little game,slight edge of the Panthers so i am picking them.
Seahawks v 49ers=Closer that it would suggest but still i am backing my Hawks.
Jaguars v Cardinals=Sacksoville in full swing.
Broncos v Raiders=Oof,my heart is out to those who will attend this game.Raiders win,badly.
Packers v Steelers=Steelers DEF is the 2nd best unit so based on that,easy Steelers win.
Texans v Ravens=Ravens DEF is firing on all cylinders although they have a really Jekyll and Hyde mentality.Ravens win.
#1 QB:Tom Brady
#1 RB:Le'veon Bell
#1 WR:Julio Jones
#1 TE:Jimmy Graham
#1 DST:Steelers
Paxton Lynch will score:15 points since he isn't the best thing since sliced bread.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Revis Island is back and this time he's in Kansas.

After Freeney was surprisingly cut by the Seahawks (he had 3 sacks in 4 limited games) the Lions have signed him.

Beathard is still the starter in Niner land.

[Dan]

I should mention for those who don’t play in the TTH league, that the QB scoring in pick’em is based on 6pt TD, -2 INT rather than standard, just in case it affects people’s guesses for Lynch (or Kelce).

[Gray Fox]

Game of the Week: Saints v Rams. Over/under 54.5pts. - Under. Surprising defensive showing for both teams with so much on the line. Brees experience to show and the Saints take it.

Vikings v Lions (Thursday) - Vikings
Chargers v Cowboys (Thursday) - Chargers
Giants v Redskins (Thursday) - Redskins
Bills v Chiefs - Chiefs
Titans v Colts - Titans
Browns v Bengals - Browns(fancy an upset here)
Buccaneers v Falcons - Falcons
Dolphins v Patriots - Pats by about 40 points
Bears v Eagles - Eagles, though will be made to work for it
Panthers v Jets - Panthers
Seahawks v 49ers - Hawks
Jaguars v Cardinals - Jags
Broncos v Raiders - Broncos
Packers v Steelers - Steelers
Texans v Ravens - Ravens

#1 QB: Cam Newton
#1 RB: Lev Bell
#1 WR: TY Hilton
#1 TE: I would say the Skins TE but how can you look past Jimmy Graham.
#1 DST: Steelers

Paxton Lynch will score 13.5 points. If we stick to the current script the Raiders D isn't scaring anyone. The Broncos D will give the kid a chance and he'll lean on top class DT to help him. He'll do okay, but not amazing.

[Dan]

You can’t all copy me & pick the Browns you fuckers

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Doesn't feel right that we're going to have a turkey day without Kev rocking the Cadle

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

A live studio audience

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Rudolph

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He was clearly down.

Shit refs.

The celebration ffs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's a brilliant throw, especially so when considering he had a rusher right in his face as he was lobbing it up.

[Dan]

Well we've got our #1TE for the week already

[Browning]

Jason De-who-lo?

Genuinely no idea who this is but he's shit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's almost as bad as when the Black Eyed Peas did Super Bowl and were lost without auto-tune.

[Dan]

I literally back out to the GamePass menu so I didn't have to watch

EDIT: Yo @Pleb, change your WR pick to an actual receiver. This week is going to come down to player projections, since we've all pretty much got the exact same picks.

[Browning]

Anyone else's GamePass gone to shit?

[Dan]

Nope, mine's alright at the minute. It's gone dodgy a few times lately though, so I've switched between TV & Xbox, as usually if one's fucked the other's still working.

[Browning]

The game randomly started again and then wouldn't "Go Live", but it's ok now I think.

[Dan]

Stafford's basically just reading Wikipedia for his audibles. Lol at them taking so long on the PAT that they let the officials correct themselves.

[Giggles]

Are they not blacked out when they're on Sky?

Also, these team celebrations need to be outlawed again. Ridiculous shite.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

How does Newman and Rhodes fuck that up?

Christ.

[Dan]

How did Marvin Jones get that, exactly? Might've crippled Stafford though.

[Browning]

And Newman wasn't even meant to be there

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Thought Triple H was about to walk onto the pitch there.

Fucking class playing Motorhead The Game in a stadium.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Imagine being there thinking your team had just pulled that off only for it to be offside and thus game over.

[Foe]

Dallas +2 and Washington -7 to complete my ATS treble please.

[Dan]

Melvin Ingram is a beast. Their other Melvin, meanwhile, is just constantly getting fucked by his own linemen.

[Giggles]

This camera angle is balls.

[Foe]

Yep. I'm screwed.

[Dan]

Man, American TV looks shit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I like the angle.

I'm used it though as I play Madden (yes, actual games Giggles) in the same angle. Let's you see almost all of the pitch.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Younghoe Koo is waiting for the call, LA.

[Giggles]

I like the angle.

I'm used it though as I play Madden (yes, actual games Giggles) in the same angle. Let's you see almost all of the pitch.

It was fine in that fog game but they're zoomed far too close and are far too low with it tonight. In most shots you could only see the width of the O-Line.

It's back to the regular angle now anyway.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Considering he missed the fucking net on the sidelines, you can't trust him at all.

[Dan]

That's not a great sign for the punter

[niko_cee]

I can't get on board with these yellow Charger gloves. Just looks like flags are being chucked all the time.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's how you travel.

[Pleb]

I literally back out to the GamePass menu so I didn't have to watch

EDIT: Yo @Pleb, change your WR pick to an actual receiver. This week is going to come down to player projections, since we've all pretty much got the exact same picks.

How soon do you want the pick?

[Dan]

Before the games, preferably You can pick anyone you like as long as their game hasn't started, so no Keenan Allen for you.

Rivers is fired up again already this week.

[Pleb]

How is this shitefest still 0-0?

[Dan]

I remember why I watch RedZone now - ads run roughly every eight seconds on live games.

[Dan]

I heard you call them San Diego, Mr Stadium Announcer

[Browning]

Yep, I heard that too.

What a shit fest this has been.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ugh, this is worse than the first half.

I fucking hate new age country Male singers who think they're amazing. Bellend, mate.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Call him up Chargers.

[Dan]

Maybe that back's still giving you problems, eh Nick?

[Dan]

Does American really find Big Bang Theory so hilariously funny that they can do a spin-off series? Not to mention Kevin Can Wait & that other one with Matt LeBlanc.

No wonder Trump got in.

[Dan]

Yeah, that was probably a hold

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Looked like he was trying to lock in the bear hug.

Not sure why the cameras and commentators were so faked out, I thought it looked pretty clear that Dak kept it.
