Week 10-Sky

by

Week 10 already?!?!
How is this season blowing by so quickly?

Week 9 brought some joy, some pain and many more questions.
Obviously it was nice to see the Patriots lose their FIRST game of the season, and add to that a Packers humiliating loss to the lowly Chargers, and things were looking pretty good.
Which of these teams will bounce back in Week 10?

Sky Sports has announced their schedule for Week 10, so that you can catch some of the best games in full HD.
While most people aren’t up for the Thursday and Monday night games, the 6pm and 9pm games should be some pretty big contests.
(These games are blacked out for Gamepass users).

The 6pm game is the Cardinals vs Bucs, which must have been chosen since their fans will probably never see them on TV. Both teams stink bad, and this game will probably stink even worse.
Maybe Kyler can get a win here against Shame-is and his inept offence?
This game screams ‘what’s on Gamepass?’

The 9pm game should be better as the Panthers take on the Packers at home. After watching the Chargers lay a beat down on the Packers D, maybe there is a bit of a roadmap here for future beatings?
The Packers should be ready to toss down after that tough game last week.

Still up at 1am? Then you can watch the Vikings and the Cowboys throw down until the wee hours.
Last week’s beating of the Patriots was a treat, so maybe them Boyz will figure out what it’s like to play teams with a good D.
Should be the best game of the bunch.

Gut Rot

by

Ryan Cull relates his DraftKings fantasy experience as a regular player.


WEEK 8 – Go With Your Gut 2 – Gut Rot!

Do you ever have one of those days when you think to yourself “This is a bad day to be a sports fan?” It all started when Wales, once again, couldn’t get over the hump and lost to South Africa in the Rugby World Cup Semi-Finals. After the final whistle blew, a chill came through my body, as if all my fantasy hopes and dreams for this week immediately left my body.

I did my usual prep work, checking websites and watching YouTube videos of DFS advice, felt good about some of the bargains I got and was ready to put the rugby behind me. Then came the most depressing six hours of my life. If I could describe it by the hour it would go like this

JACKSONVILLE, FL – JANUARY 07: Fans hold up a sign before the start of the AFC Wild Card Playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Field on January 7, 2018 in Jacksonville, Florida. (Photo by Scott Halleran/Getty Images)

Hour 1 – Jump out to a few early touchdowns, feeling good. And I still have Rodgers to go. And with the Patriots D is like playing with a second quarterback, it’s money in the bank!

Hour 2 – Slowly watching me fall out of contention. A few of the Double Ups are in play, already a million points behind the first algorithm because it somehow knew every player that would score a TD. I wonder if the winner is actually from the future. One week in the future (Stop playing fantasy and go kill baby Hitler!).

Hour 3 – Starting to realise that having to depend on 2 Running Backs over 30, Frank Gore and LeSean McCoy, is not a winning strategy. Each one of them hasn’t even hit their age in points.

Hour 4 – I call this second bottle of wine time! None of my hot picks that I read online about have panned out. All the smart decisions are turning out to be dumb. This is where the five stages of grief kick in. However you experience them much faster.

Hour 5 – You’ve now accepted defeat. Not only have all my fantasy games gone to hell, I’m reading on twitter about how shit the Buffalo Bills are again. This train is never late and it almost always arrives around week 8.

Hour 6 – Fantasy football is stupid. At least I have a baby scan tomorrow so finally some good news! Or will it be, after this run of bad luck I’m starting to worry the Dr. is going to tell me my child is a Patriots fan. Imagine that! Time for my last tube. It was an absolute ass kicking but that’s what fantasy is right, a few moments of joy followed by weeks and weeks of terrible decisions and never ending regret.

You’re gonna have these weeks a few times a year. The good news is, that it’s usually followed by a great, hard earned victory. It’s Gut Check time!

Wade’s Week 8 Picks

by

You ready to win some money betting on the NFL?
Great!
Our man Wade is here to help with some of his tips to parlay this week if you are looking to make some serious cash!

Here are Wade’s top picks for a great week 8.

-13.5 LA Rams (4-3) vs Bengals (0-7)

Welcome to London, where public beatings were once coming practise, and looks like another one is in store this weekend. The forecast calls for sunny skies, which won’t do anything to help Andy Dalton and the struggling cats.
Goff will relentlessly torch their depleted secondary, hitting Woods, Cooks and Kupp for loads of points.
Loads of tickets still available for this stink show.

Eagles (3-4) vs -2 Bills (5-1)

The Bills are more surprised than anyone that they have a winning record like this. The Eagles had high hopes this season, but Carson Wentz is playing like garbage.
The Eagles will look to fly high in this one, as Buffalo probably won’t be prepared for a hungry team in need of a .500 record halfway through the season.
Eagles to upset.

Jets (1-5) vs -6 Jaguars (3-4)

It’s Darnold vs Minshew. A guy coming off of mono vs a guy who looks like he spreads it without consequence. Darnold will see less ghosts this week, as he looks to exorcize the demons from the Patriots. Jets will be fired up, and the Jags will be slow moving targets.
Jets will cover, and probably win.

-8 Seahawks (5-2) vs Falcons (1-6)

Matt Schaub is QB for the Falcons tonight. Wait, who? The guy who hasn’t played since 2005? Yep-that guy. He will struggle against a Seahawks team that is coming off an emotional loss last week. Look for Russell Wilson to rebound and punt-chucking the ball all over the field.
Seahawks to cruise comfortably.

If you wager $10 on this parlay-you should get odds of 13.6
So you will gross $136.00, for a net profit of $126!!
Easy money!
