Week 3 Predictions

by

Whew!
What a week in the NFL!
How did you do in your week 3 predictions?

Wade & Ryan make their picks every Friday for the podcast, and now we have the results in…Wade totally smoked Ryan!

Ryan went a respectable 8-8 for the week, a healthy 500-with all of his attention focused on his Buffalo Bills.
Ryan did get caught up in some of his ’emotional’ picks, but was able to ride some of his into a good weekend of predictions.

Wade on the other hand totally nailed this week, going 14-2 and killing some of the top picks that he had for the weekend.

Among some of Wade’s top picks for the week:

Detroit Lions
Wade had them to win the game outright, and they did at that, plying on the pressure on the Philadelphia Eagles who were injured and outmatched.

Panthers
When Cam is out, it’s time for the team to shine-which is exactly what happened. Christian McCaffery was on fire-blasting through the helpless Arizona Cardinals defence with ease.

Giants
Teams play to their best, when they need to impress. The Giants were able to impress upon the Bucs defence just how much Daniel Jones wanted this.
They did indeed.

If you took Wade’s picks-congrats! You probably won a lot of money this week.
If you took Ryan’s…hope you broke even.

Week 3 TDs

by

What a week in the NFL!
Week 3 sure didn’t disappoint with a slew of touchdowns and fantasy points to make every NFL fan happy.

That is of course unless you started Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, or Cam Newton…or Trevor Semening.

NFL films has put together a wicked collection of some of the top TDs in week 3, and there are some real doozies in this collection.

Some folks are hailing the Jags Minshew as one of the new rockstars of the league…or has he just been lucky?

Take a look at this collection of high-flying passes and tell us what you think.

Have you followed us on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram yet?
You should.
Get on that.

Josh Jacobs

Did you play Josh Jacobs in Fantasy?
Well you would have done pretty well if you did on week 1.
The Raiders running back gashed the Broncos defense for over 113 yards at home, in a sweet win for Jon Gruden.
Nice to have the drama of AB behind them, as the Broncos looked flat all night.

AFC West Prediction

by

How was the West won?
Not very bloody easily, and this year will be no exception.
Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull are actually torn on this one, which always makes for good betting.

Let’s start with the returning Kansas City Chiefs, who were humbled in the AFC by the Patriots last season.
Is there any way to expect the same won’t happen again this year?
Doubtful.
The Chiefs are fierce, but losing Kareem Hunt and the debacle around Tyreek Hill might make this team a bit unfocused.
Ryan is confident that they will bounce back with full force, but Wade is more sceptical.
The Chiefs have a fear of being successful in the playoffs, and Wade sees that happening again this year.
Also, Patrick Mahomes threw too many no-look passes last year, so it will be hard to see how he keeps that up this year.

The Broncos are the epitome of a dysfunctional family.
Joh Elway struggles every year getting that perfect balance of offence and defence, so how will they put together a string of wins, if they can’t even figure out their QB situation?
Wade & Ryan have them around a 500 team.
Sure, they might spoil a few parties, but the real spoiler will be the stench that comes from their own inner rot.

The Raiders have had some ‘hard knocks’ as of late.
Jon Gruden is determined to make something of this team before they bounce off to Vegas, but will Antonio Brown be a distraction?
Can Derek Carr forge the focus of this team into winning, or will they be more focused on whining?
At any rate, they will be entertaining to watch…even if it’s them imploding.

And the Chargers. Are they in LA? Are they in San Diego? Do they even have any real fans?
Phillip Rivers isn’t getting any younger, and with 37 kids to feed-he is going to be determined to win something this year.
Wade thinks that they have a real chance here to finally face off against the Patriots.
Melvin Gordon is the real conundrum in the mix, and they need to get all eyes facing forward if they want to win it this year.

AB Saga

by

AB continues to pout his way through another team/ season.
How the heck does this guy expect to get any respect in this league if he continues to toss tantrums?

Pittsburgh must be dealing a heavy ‘whew’ as they watch his offseason shenanigans, but they also must be looking forward to dusting his ass when they face each other this season.

The NFL seems to attract more drama each and every year, no wonder Hard Knocks is so popular!
