A Fool and His Money in Week 17
It’s craziness in Week 17. Will the playoff teams even bother to start their studs? Will the backups be decent when they get in there?
We can attempt to negotiate through the darkness of the last week of the season, but in reality, we’ll just be happy to be at .500 for the season with this [...]
Week 16 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders: Championship Edition
At this point, you should be starting your studs. We stopped posting all the week-to-week start posts as a result, but I do have a few thoughts to throw out this week with many of you in championship or at least playoff matches.
In the Cowboy game tonight, I like Tony Romo and the Cowboys wide [...]
Week 14 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
You’re obviously starting your studs at this point. For many of you, it’s the playoffs. For others, it’s the last week before the playoffs (and you should hate that your championship game is in Week 17, where anything goes).
This week, whether you are in the playoffs are about to be, is a critical one. For [...]
A Fool and His Money in Week 11
It’s go time. Once again, a ‘$’ marks all of Nick’s locks of the week while a ‘#’ marks all of Chadam’s locks.
Thursday Night Football: New York Jets at New England Patriots
SPLIT DECISION!
Chadam Takes: Jets (+3) over PATRIOTS
Nick Takes: PATRIOTS (-3) over Jets
In taking the Jets, Chadam says: I’ll admit, I’m sucked in to this [...]
A Fool and His Money in Week 9
Fantasy Football Fools’ Nick and Chadam pick the NFL spreads each week in “A Fool and His Money.” You don’t have to bet with them; in fact, it might be better for your wallet if you don’t. But for fantasy football players, Nick and Chadam provide a look inside the matchups from Vegas’ perspective and [...]
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 [...]
Foolish Thoughts on Week 6: Last-second nonsense
Who is the better Manning now? I think Peyton Manning put ex-lax in his brother’s Gatorade this week. It was time to shut up the critics. Peyton gets three touchdowns; Eli gets three picks. At least in fantasy, it looks like Peyton may have reclaimed his top spot on the Manning mantel for now.
And Eli [...]
A Fool and His Money in Week 6
“Just when I thought I was out…they pull me back in.”
There are some crazily enticing lines this week that are making me open up my wallet again. Thanks, Vegas! Besides, I need to find another way to spend my time after I developed this nasty drinking habit after Sunday’s Texans game…
Dear Sage Rosenfels:
You didn’t look [...]
A Fool and His Money in Week 5
Chadam and Nick had a rough weekend. Nick was swamped last week trying to put together a fantasy lineup that could stop my crushing force of a team in our shared fantasy football league. Unfortunately for Nick, it looks like his efforts were in vain.
Chadam, on the other hand, spent the entire weekend crying uncontrollably [...]
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 [...]
