NFL Monday Recap

tayke2 On 11:10 AM

Week 3 is almost in the books, and I will have another close week with my picks. I won my Philly(-3) and Bengals (-3.5) and lost my Washington(-4.5) and Baltimore(-11). Tonight I got the Packers -3 so hopefully I can have another above .500 week.


In fantasy things are going ok. My public live draft team is well on its way to 3-0, while my auto draft looks like it will get win #1. In my La Familia league, I'm beating my brother by 5 points. Tonight I have Aaron Rodgers and the Packers defense while my brother has Donald Driver and Matt Forte. As long as the Pack can contain Forte, then I like my chances.

In the Taylor league, I'm going to lose one and holding on for dear life in the other. My mom is up by 32 on me and I need Mason Crosby to boot 6 50+ yard field goals lol. And against my brother, I'm beating my brother by 16, but he has Aaron Rodgers and Donal Driver and I just have the Packers defense. Here's hoping for a Charles Woodson TD tonite!!

Well thats it for me. Thanks for reading.

NFL Top 5 Picks

tayke2 On 10:12 AM

Last week I went 2-2-1, and on the season, I'm 5-4-1. It would be nice to knock out a 4-1 this week, but I won't be greedy lol. Lets get started.


5. Philadelphia(-3) at Jacksonville- My boy Vegas Dave sees this as a trap pick. I could see that, but the facts are that not only are the Jaguars not that good, but the Eagles must realize that they have to pile on these easy wins before they head into division play. I think the Eagles are going to rally around whoever is starting at QB, and they pull off the win on the road by a TD.

4. Green Bay(-3) at Chicago- I've made it no secret that I think the Packers are the best team in the league this year. I have picked them in the last 2 weeks, and they have covered both times. I will take them -3 against 90% of the teams in the league, and despite being 2-0, Chicago is one of them. It will be a sweat, but I foresee a 27-21 victory here.

3. Washington (-4.5) at St Louis- This one looks like a slam dunk to me. The Rams are arguably the worst team in the league, and you know that the Redskins are going to be fired up after they blew the huge lead to the Texans at home last week. And just like Philly, the Skins know they need to get these easy wins before division play. Expect a double digits victory here.

2. Cleveland at Baltimore(-11)- This is alot of points to give up for an offense that in years past hasn't been too exciting, but consider this. The Ravens have scored just 20 points this year, but this is against the Jets and the Bengals, two very likely playoff teams. Now they get the Browns....at home! I predict that the Ravens will come out and blow the Browns out the water. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 3 touchdown win here.

1. Cincinnati(-3.5) at Carolina- Again, my boy sees this as a trap pick, and while I can see what he's saying, quite frankly, I don't see it lol. Here are the facts. The Bengals have started off the year at New England and vs Baltimore, again two teams that could very well make the playoffs. Now they have a chance to take on the Panthers!!! You know that Palmer and Ochocinco are giddy right now and the defense is licking their chops at the thought of running over Jimmy Clausen in his first regular season start. If the Bengals don't win by 10+, I will be absolutely shocked.

Those are my thoughts. Am I being too much of a sucker? At least I picked 1 home team this week! Lol thanks for reading. Stay tuned for my fantasy matchups later today.

NFL Monday Recap

tayke2 On 1:57 PM

Two weeks into the season, and if things go my way, I just mite get 2 victories! In my main family league, my cousin Shannon destroyed me, thanks to Matt Schaub, Andre Johnson, and Jahvid Best, who basically beat me all by themselves. The one positive I can take out of it is that my team put up a solid 105 points. Hopefully I can get on the board next week.


In my Taylor league, I'm holding a slight edge in both of the matchups. Against my dad, I have a 16 point lead, and he has Pierre Thomas playing tonight. Against Kristal, I hold a 15 point lead, and I have Crabtree she has Vernon Davis. So I'm in the lead but definitely not comfortable with either matchup right now.

Lastly, with my 5 bets, I went 2-2-1. I scored wins in my #5 pick: Packers(-14), and my #2 pick; KC(+2). I lost my #4 pick: Philly(-6.5) and my #3 pick: Seattle(+3.5). And I pushed my #1 pick; Houston(-3). This puts me at 5-4-1 on the year. I don't envy the task my boy Vegas Dave put upon himself. These are my 5 slam dunk picks of the week, and I'm barely 500. He has to pick them all. Tough job. Well thats it for me. Go Saints tonight! Who Dat!

Also, tune in tomorrow for a full recap of the mini Ftops main event, where I managed a small cash after 5 hours of play. Thanks for reading.

Of course I love my quarterback matchup with Aaron Rodgers taking on the lowly Buffalo Bills. I also love Wes Welker against the Jets and I like my running back matchups. Shannon has the potentially lethal combo of Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson, and Bryant and Collie will either get her 2 points or 20. Javid Best is a beast, but he could struggle against Philly. At least I hope.

In my Taylor family league, I'm taking on my dad and Kristal. These are matchups of the bottom 4 teams of last week, so someone is getting their first win of the year.

Romo has a solid matchup should be able to get me 20 or so. The weak point of this lineup is the WRs. Crabtree was bad last week, but I'm willing to give him one more week. Moss could struggle on Revis island, but again I like my running back matchups. And of course Dallas Clark is a beast. Kristal has another potentially lethal combo of Eli and Smith for the Giants. Also Peterson is of course dominant at all times, and Vernon Davis is due for a big game.

Lastly, me vs my dad.

I'm counting on Brett Favre to shake off the rust and have a solid game against a so-so Miami defense. What little passing offense Arizona will have I will get credit for with Fitz and Breaston. Need my RB's to carry me on this one. Like the Quarterback matchup vs Cutler who is pretty weak. He's got some solid skill position players, and its tough to imagine that Ray Rice will have two straight sub par games. Also hoping that Felix Jones won't see much of the field.


Well thats it for me. Pull for me guys I went 1-4 last week I can't have another bad year of fantasy football I just can't! Thanks for reading.
