A Fool and His Money in Week 14
Note from Jacob: Somehow, after a rager of a game of Monopoly — yes, we are five years old — and a weekend of fantasy football talk, we got Chadam to disagree with Nick on some of this week’s picks.
Oakland Raiders at San Diego Chargers
Fools Take: CHARGERS (-9) over Raiders
Nick says: I expect Philip Rivers [...]
Week 13 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
A lot of the action already went down on Thursday, but there are still a few sneaky starts and player concerns this week. Here are a few players that might help or hurt you in staking your claim for a playoff spot on this fine Sunday.
Hot Hands
Chad Pennington, QB Dolphins vs. Rams — It’s sort [...]
Week 8 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
There’s a lot of hotness this week, and many players not on a bye might have their best performance of the season for you. My favorite starts are Willis McGahee against Oakland and Chris Johnson against the Colts but even Cedric Benson might break 100 yards this week. Cedric Benson — let that sink in [...]
Week 4 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
This week’s bye shouldn’t have caught you by surprise, but the characters you are left to start might. Strangely enough, many of the players that you might have drafted late or gotten on the cheap have great plays this week.
Make sure you don’t forget about these guys, and as always, any start-or-sit questions asked in [...]
A Fool and His Money in Week 3
Last week, Nick and I were on fire. We had identical picks for 12 of the 15 games, and in those games, the two of us went 8-3 with one push.
Sadly, I lost the three picks on which we disagreed. After a sterling 11-3-1 record in Week 2, Nick is now up by three games.
Before [...]
On the Wire: Waiver Wire Saviors from Week 2
After Week 2’s performances, you should have a pretty good idea what your players are worth. Starting jobs are getting shuffled, and guys we thought might pay off are doing just that. If you didn’t capture one of the big performers of Week 2 on your fantasy team, let’s see what we can do for [...]
A Fool and His Money in Week 2
Well, my distrust in rookie QBs certainly worked out for me. I’m going back for more.
No picks for the Falcons or Ravens this week either. I’ve also noted which bet is my favorite of the week, and coincidentally for Week 2, it’s the first one on the slate.
Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions
Chadam Takes: Packers [...]
A Fool and His Money in Week 1
Now that we have the explanation out of the way, let’s talk Week 1 picks.
Jacob’s Ed. Note: Note that due to some compulsive gambling this weekend, we didn’t get the Week 1 picks up before the games. If you didn’t notice, congratulations — you rock. Starting Week 2, picks should be up prior to the [...]
Introducing Two Fools and Their Money
This football season, our highly-respected Best Bets feature (Hint: Don’t ever start betting in Week 16) will be replaced by a column we are going to call A fool and his money… where two compulsive online gamblers will go head-to-head picking the NFL spreads for the entire regular season.
These two moderately delusional individuals will include [...]
And so 2008 begins…
Fantasy football season is upon us!
*The people rejoice* *Crowds cheer and applause* *Small baby thrown in air*
Someone catch that baby! *Baby caught inside beer* YES!
The defending Super Bowl Champions, the New York Giants, face off against the Washington Redskins tonight. What will the lesser Manning of the mighty Mannings do?
More than likely, he’ll look a [...]
