anyone care to give a breakdown of the Detroit defense @OAK vs. Atlanta defense tonight?
DET Positives:
-Detroit scores on defense, but two last week probably means none this week
-Carson Palmer throws to bodies regardless of uniform (2 pts)
DET negatives:
-Michael Bush
-Oakland return game
ATL Positives:
-Gabbert is young and takes sacks (1 pt per)
ATL Negatives:
-MJD
-controlled weather w/a faster-paced game in the dome
-will protect Gabbert's psyche with easy throws
-Thursday night on national TV adding some motivation to JAX

certainly a possibility, for some reason while it tells you that it tells me a lot of times that bad teams play better than we'd expect them to

you have always seemed to have a better grasp of the psyches of players and coaches leading into games, so i'll defer to you on this one.

Trap games, look ahead games, Baylor's team goal was to be satisfied with 6 wins this year.
the one i never knew that he opened my eyes to is that the Spurs stop playing if they are losing at the half to conserve their old legs for the next game. they don't play as hard in the 2nd half.
you shouldn't be surprised tho, he watches way more games than us.

It's an uncanny ability.
C'mon guys, he's Nostradamus, he has had a winning season so far in his own football betting competition!

I really don't talk much fantasy but play in two pretty big money leagues and one small one. I am in the semis in all three when normally I am the cellar dwellar in every league I play in. Now that there is coin on the line, I will lose all three games and the third place games and walk away with nothing.
And of course my oppnent had Roddy White and Atlantas D in the smaller money league last night. The only game I am projected to win of course.

I'm glad you didn't take my advice on the defense.
HA!
Seahawks going nuts
Lol, yep. 34 points in my league for me. Falcons had 27. Pretty much a push though in fantasy for a defensive decision. Red Bryant's TD was just AWESOME...
Lmao at the Seahawks. If they would have taken care of business at Cleveland and against the Redskins, the Hawks would be the #6 seed right now battling Detroit and Atlanta in the Wild Card hunt. F my life...
