Week 4 Game Predictons


I am right around 70 percent on predictions so far this year and I hope to improve upon that even further. With that said here are my predictions and thoughts for week 4 in the NFL.


Atlanta at Carolina - This game could be close however I think the Panthers defense will be able to contain Turner to a respectable number. With that said I like Carolina to win playing at home.


Cleveland at Cincinnati - The Browns have looked terrible this year and so have the Bengals. I think Carson Palmer gets it going good enough this week to get the win but it could be a pretty close game. I don't think the Browns offensive line can hold anybody out and that will be their downfall again this weekend.


Houston at Jacksonville - The Jags finally looked like the team they were expected to be last week against the Colts. The Texans on the other hand look horrible. They may have some success on the ground but they do not have enough to win this one. I like the Jags going away in this one with a big day on the ground from Jones-Drew and Taylor.


Denver at Kansas City - I like the Broncos easily in this one. I expect Brandon Marshall to have another huge day and I like the trio of running backs to get their fair share of yardage as well. For the chiefs the only real play in fantasy world is Bowe but you could also use Larry Johnson with hopes he will have one of his good days. The Broncos will give up some points but not to many.


San Francisco at New Orleans - This should be a pretty good game. The 49er's defense has been pretty good so far this year but the Saints have to much fire power. Brees and Bush should have big days and win this one by 10-14 points.


Arizona at New York Jets - This is a tough one for me. The Jets play well at home and they have a pretty decent offensive. The cardinals have a great offense and a better then expected defense. Most experts are picking Arizona in this one but I like the Jets to pull it out playing at home behind a solid day from Favre.


Green Bay at Tampa Bay - Green Bay has some injuries on the defensive side of the ball and I think the Bucs are good enough on defense to slow the Packers down just enough to get a win. Tampa plays very tough at home and Griese looked good last week. I like the Bucs behind a solid passing game to take this one down but it should be close.


Minnesota at Tennessee - One of the best match ups of the week. The Titans have a great defense as do the Vikings. I like Minnesota with a strong running game to win this one but it will be very close and should be low scoring. The vikings will harass Collins all day and that should be the difference.


San Diego at Oakland - The Chargers will run the ball all day and throw at will when they want to. I like San Diego big against the men in black.


Buffalo at the worst team in the NFL aka the Rams - Bills win huge in this one and that's all that needs to be said here.


Washington at Dallas - The Redskins should be able to pass on the Cowboys and that will keep this one close for a little while but in the end I like Dallas with the most solid offense in the NFL to pull away and win. Look for Santana Moss to have a big day for the Redskins and for the Cowboys the usual stars should score more then enough to keep their fantasy owners happy. On that note beware that every now and then the Skins put together a great game against a superior opponent. If this happens it could come down to a field goal.


Philadelphia at Chicago - The Bears defense should play well at home in a night game but the question will be how well their offense performs. If McNabb and Westbrook are able to go I think the Eagles have to much firepower for the Bears. I like the Eagles in Chi Town.


Baltimore at Pittsburgh - This will be a great game. The Ravens have been playing good and the Steelers have been playing like the Steelers do, very good. I think this one can go either way, if the game was in Baltimore I would pick the Ravens but since its in Pittsburgh I have to go with the Steelers.

Week 4 fantasy football pickups of the week and hot women



RB
Steve Slaton, HOU - He has been on my list since before the season started but he is starting to look great as no other running back with the Texans is doing anything. I have him ranked as a 3RB and a good flex or bye week play.  This is of course based on whether the o-line can hold up.

Correll Buckhalter, PHILLY - Westbrook seems to get injured every year so if you have him or you need a good option in week 4 due to bye weeks I would pick him up. I dont expect Westbrook to be at full speed this week and Buckhalter should have a decent day. I have him as a solid 2RB if Brian is out.

Derrick Ward, GIANTS - This guy seems to stay on the waiver and that amazes me. Maybe its because everybody has running backs on the roster capable of producing this year however this guy is one to grab if you only have 2 or 3 steady backs. He will get you 50-100 yards a week and has the chance to add a touch to those yards.

Rudi Johnson, LIONS - He looked great in week 3 and should be a decent middle to lower 2RB for the remainder of the year.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WR
Brandon Lloyd, BEARS - He is becoming the go to guy for the Bears and is a worthy of a low end 2WR.

Steve Smith, GIANTS - With the Plaxico Burress suspension its possible that Smith picks up the slack in week 5. Its only one game but if it helps you win that week then take a look at him. I also like Domenik Hixon, who looked pretty solid in the preseason, to be another good option. I have them both as 3WR for week 5 but don't expect this to continue once the man is back.

Ike Hilliard, TAMPA BAY - I know Antonio Bryant is there but I like Hilliard better out of the two. He seems to be the endzone favorite and I expect Brian Griese to get better as we move forward. Expect decent number this week against a suspect Broncos defense.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TE
Jerramy Stevens, TAMPA BAY - Stevens has the potential to be a solid tight end. Last season he scored 4 touchdowns with Seattle and that is saying something in regards to the wide receivers the seahawks have had. In his first game of the year coming off a suspention he performed well inlcuding a touch. I like him as a decent option if you are hurting at the tight end positions and I know most of us are. Hopefully you are not dealing with a league that has the WR/TE flex but if you are then he is a decent pick up.

The other tight ends worthy of a spot on a roster have all been mentioned in previous weeks. They are all really a hit or miss and its very difficult to find consistency at this position this season.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QB
Brian Griese, TAMPA BAY - I am going to jump on the Bucs QB and say if you need a guy on your roster at this position he is a solid bye week fill in and possibly even a middle end passer as we see him improve. Tampy is a good team with some decent running backs and this should allow him to get the ball downfield with his accurate and strong arm.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEF
San Francisco - This is a good defense not to far behind the feared Steelers D in overall points. They even look better then PITT in certain stats. I would grab them up as there are not a lot of decent options for defenses this year. The other option here would be Jacksonville. If somebody dumped the Jags D on the waiver a week ago pick them up. They will be a good option as the season moves along, especially at home.

Kicker
Ryan Longwell, John Carney and Olindo Mare - This guys are leading the league in scoring for kickers. They are the top 3 overall in fantasy points however they are still on the waiver in a large amount of the leagues. If you are standing behind a well known name kicker who is not producing this season, aka Adam Vinatieri, grab one of these guys and enjoy double the points. Dont worry about the name, worry about perfomance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IDP
Cortland Finnegan, TENN - He is the overall leader in points for IDP players this season and he has a very good defense around him. Grab him and play him if you have an under perfoming player on your team. He is worth the upside over a DL who may only get you 3 tackles on an off week and I think he will have another 4-6 interceptions with 2-3 of them for touchdowns by the time its all said and done.

I will have another edition of pickups of the week on Friday, this will reflect anything that has happened over the course of the week in practices around the NFL.

Interesting facts on Oil

Remember to keep this in mind when you head to the pump!

These companies import Middle Eastern oil:

Shell.......................... 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco.........144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil...............130,082,000 barrels
Maathon/Speedway...117,740,000 barrels
Amoco........................62,231,00... barrels
Citgo gas is from South America, from a Dictator who hates Americans.

If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! (oil is now $90 - $100 a barrel)

Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil

Sunoco.................0 barrels
Conoco.................0 barrels
Sinclair.................0 barrels
BP/Phillips............0 barrels
Hess....................0 barrels
ARC0..................0 barrels

Week 3 Game Predictions

KC at ATL = I like Atlanta here, look for Turner to have another big game at home. I also like Bowe for the Chiefs to put up decent numbers.

OAK at BUF = The Bills win this one going away. This should be the Lynch show.

TB at CHI = I like Tampa and a more steady offense to out perform a very good Bears defense.

CAR at MIN = I like the Vikings to win this game based on great rushing and getting to the QB.

MIA at NE = Miami may hang in there for a little while but the Pats take this one going away.

CIN at NYG = This one could get ugly, Giants easily.

HOU at TEN = Texans stick around but the Titans are to much here.

ARI at WAS = The cardinals look good however the Redskins will win at home behind 2 Portis TD's.

NO at DEN = I will take the Broncos playing at home in what should be a shoot out.

DET at SF = 49er's all the way. The lions are fighting to not be the worst team in the league

STL at SEA = Hasslebeck finally wakes up against the worst secodary in the league. Hawks here.

CLE at BAL = I am going upset here, the Browns like playing the Ravens and they are due a win. Browns win.

JACK at INDY = This game will probably be fairly close but Reggie Wayne propels the Colts who have to much firepower for the Jags. I do however think the Jags will be able to put up some good rushing numbers and poss some touchdowns.

PITT at PHILLY = The Eagles are at home but I like the Steelers defense better and I think Pittsburgh will run the ball better. I like the Steelers in a great and very close game.

DAL at GB = This should be the game of the week. I expect a shootout and I like GB to get it done at home fueled by a big Romo turnover late in the game. Rodgers goes off with 3 touchdowns passes against a suspect Cowboy's Secondary. Look out for Felix Jones returning kicks as well, history has proven run backs come in groups.

NYJ at SD = This will be a closer game then people think because Favre will be able to throw the ball, however the Chargers are at home and no matter who is running the ball they will have success. I like San Diego by about 10.

Fantasy Football Week 3 Pickups (Monday Edition)



My early thoughts on pickups for week 3 in the NFL


Quarterbacks

Trent Edwards, Buffalo
- The Bills are proving that they are worth a look and Edwards is leading the charge. I look for him to only get better as the year goes on. Pick him up for a bye week fill in with the potential for more down the road.

Joe Flacco, Baltimore
- Looking good for a bye week fill in or a back up.


Wide Receivers


Chansi Stuckey, New York Jets
- He is becoming Favre's second favorite target and a genuine red zone threat. He is a decent 3WR if you need one

James Jones, Green Bay
- Back from an injury Jones got a touch in week 2. He is more of a hit or miss guy but worth a spot on the roster.

Domenik Hixon
- I know he has a ton of people in front of him but he has talent that cannot be denied. Plus you get his kickoff return yardage.


Running Backs


Derrick Ward, New York Giants
- I like this guy a lot. If Brandon Jacobs goes down its hello Mr. Ward. He is worth a roster spot for a bye week fill in and if you have Jacobs he is a must have pick up.

LaMont Jordan, New England
- The Patriots are very unpredictable when it comes to their running backs but Jordan looked good and may become a guy that can get you 75 yards a game but most likely not many TD's. He is a good bye week fill in for now but lets keep an eye on him.

Fred Jackson, Buffalo
- At this point I would pick him up and then see how he does over the next couple of weeks. Not a bad guy to add to a roster if you have some room to play with.

Felix Jones, Dallas
- He has been here before, pick him up now before somebody else does. I took him in the draft and he looks better every week. A touchdown in week 1 and now a 98 yard kickoff return in week 2. He is one injury away from being a number 1 back in the NFL.

Michael Bush, Oakland
- Justin Fargas went out with an injury and Bush looked great. Granted the Raiders are not very good but it seems whoever is starting at running back for them puts up some decent numbers. Its not a play I would make against a solid run defense but this kid from Louisville has potential.

- Darren Sproles, San Diego
LT will probably be ok in a week or two but Sproles is a fantastic pick up until then.

- Brandon Jackson, Green Bay
Ryan Grant seems to have a new injury every week. If that continues look for Jackson to put up good numbers every week. I have him as a medium 2RB if he is the starter.


Tight Ends


Martellus Bennett
- This guy has a lot of potential. Yes he is behind Jason Witten but I still like him a lot down the road if he play continues to improve

John Carlson, Seattle
- Carlson was on this list last week but I put him here again because the Seahawks cannot keep any receivers healthy. He should be good for at least 50 yards a week if not more and maybe a touch.

David Martin, Miami
- If your desperate Martin is a good guy to get you 3-4 points a game. I would not expect much more but there is not a lot to choose from with Tight Ends.

John Gilmore, Tampa Bay
- He had a good week two with 41 yards and a touch. He is widely available and may be worth a spot on the bench until we see if he can continue to produce catching the ball.

College Football Scoreboard


NFL Week 2 Game Thoughts and Projections

My thoughts on this weeks games.

- Matt Cassel throws 2 touchdowns, 1 interception and goes for over 200 yards passing in New England's win at the New York Jets.

- The Indianapolis Colts rebound after a good week of practice and explode in the passing game against a weak Vikings secondary. 2-3 TD's through the air for Manning.

- Kansas City wins . The Chiefs play good at home in front of a very loud crowd. Oakland's secondary has to show up this week to prove me wrong. Bowe gets a touch and I also love Tony Gonzalez for a lot of yards and a possible TD.

- Randy Moss scores a touchdown and posts over 75 yards receiving.

- The Giants dominate St. Louis. Play the G-Men defense this week for sure. Plaxico will continue to impress thanks to an improved Eli Manning.

- The Jags beat buffalo at home. I expect Jacksonville to confuse Buffalo on offense and take charge with 1-2 interceptions. The Jags will be to much at home for the up and coming Bills.

- Washington takes care of the Saints in their home opener. New Orleans has several defensive starters out including 2 of the defensive line. Clinton Portis is pissed from last week and should be dominant in week 2.

- Green Bay over Detroit

- San Francisco over Seattle. Frank Gore will get a lot of carries and the 49er's shock the Seahawks at home. Buffalo proved last week that Seattle's defense has hole's.

- Denver wins a close one against San Diego. I like the Broncos to win at home behind a great offense and a underrated defense. With LT fighting a toe issue and the Chargers offensive line not intact look for a slight upset in this one.

- I love Tennessee at Cincinnati. The Titan's beat a good Jacksonville team last week in Knoxville and I full expect them to continue with the winning ways in week 2. The Bengals are hurting everywhere and will have to play great to win in this one.

- Tampa Bay handles Atlanta at home behind a solid performance from Brian Griese. Expect Turner's numbers to be down quite a bit this week against a good Buc defense at home.

- The Steelers at the Brown's is a tougher one for me. If the Steelers can run the ball they will win the game outright. However if the Brown's can slow down Willie Parker they will get the ball more and this could lead to an explosion of points. This is all of course based on whether or not Cleveland's offensive line can hold off a very solid Steelers pass rush. Let's remember here that the Brown's pull off a big win at home every now and then against a great team.

- I have Dallas over Philadelphia in which should be the game of the week on Monday night. I like Marion Barber and Tony Romo to do well but look for Felix Jones to get a decent amount of carries as well. I feel Donovan Mcnabb will have some success against the cowboy's secondary if he gets the time to pass. Westbrook will have a nice game. I like him for a touchdown and over 100 yards overall.

Fantasy Tid Bit's and FSU Women
















You have to love football season!

Now back to business,

- Dallas Clark did not practice on Wednesday and may not play this week. If he can't go look for the colts to use a 3WR set with more emphasis on Anthony Gonzalez then usual.

- Ronnie Brown has worked himself back to the starting spot for the Miami Dolphins. If things continue as they should behind an improved offensive line, Brown will be a quality running back for fantasy team's again soon. I like him this week against Arizona to get his first TD of the year with a combined 50-100 yards rushing and catching the ball.

- Rookie Steve Slaton looks to be the starter in week 2 for the Houston Texans. I would not expect much from him right away but he is surely worth a roster spot.

- If you are desperate for a tight end you may want to look at John Carlson from the Seahawks. He is mainly a great blocker but with all the injuries at WR he may see some more action over the next couple of weeks.

- Randy Moss was very limited for the Patriots in today's practice but he should be fine for week 2. Keep an eye out to make sure though.

- Alex Smith is done for the 49er's. If he is on your team get rid of him.

- Brian Griese will start in place of Jeff Garcia in week 2. I do not think he will do enough to keep the starting spot but you never know in the NFL. Just another thing to keep an eye on if you happen to have Garcia as a backup which I do in one league.

- Darren Mcfadden should see some playing time this week but don't expect much out of him. Oakland is a bad team right now and Justin Fargas will see the majority of the action.

- Marques Colston will miss at least a month for the Saints with a busted thumb.

- Derrick Ward for the Giants may be worth a roster spot. He put up some decent numbers in week one and if Brandon Jacobs goes down he is the man.

- Last but not least, pick up Felix Jones if he is still around in your league. He is playing like a beast behind a now bruised Marion Barber. Even if Barber continues to play Jones is going to get his time and some touches.

That's it for now

Week 2 Pickups/Waiver Wire

WR
Deion Branch, SEA
He will be back soon and the Seahawks can't wait. They need him more then ever now that the entire WR corps is on the injury list for most of the year.

Eddie Royal, DEN
He looked decent but he has one of the most targeted receiver's in the league in Brandon Marshall back in week 2.  Hes a good looking WR3 or a good bye week fill in.  Either way he is worth a roster spot.

Michael Jenkins, ATL
It seems Turner is going to open up Matt Ryan some time to throw so I like Jenkins to be the solid number 2 WR in Atlanta and he should put up some decent numbers.

Devard Darling, KC
The former Seminole looks to be the man this year behind Bowe. The Chiefs are not very good but he should still get 50 or more yards a week with a touchdown mixed in maybe 4 times this year. He is a lower 3WR or better yet a good bye week fill in.

Matt Jones, JAX
He has been around the block in Jacksonville but he knows the system and looked great in week 1. I also like him as a redzone target with his size.

------------------------------------
TE
Dante Rosario, CAR
Once Steve Smith comes back his number will go down but he's worth a waiver if you need a tight end.

Anthony Fasano, MIA
Fasano and David Martin are the guys in Miami. The dolphins don't have a real go to WR since Ginn is not emerging so I like these guys seeing the ball as the season moves forward.



-------------------------------------------

RB
Sammy Morris, NE
Morris is not new to the endzone, he got there plenty last year. Look for him to continue doing well even sharing carries. The Patriots will have to run a little more now with Brady gone. Don't be suprised if Morris ends the season with better stats the Maroney.

Justin Fargas, OAK
Yes Oakland looked terrible but he looked great. If he gets some endzone carries he looks even better.

Pierre Thomas, NO
He is going to get more and more carries as the season goes along. They seem to prefer Bush in the passing game. He is a middle-lower end 2RB right now with a lot of upside.


------------------------------------------

QB
Tavaris Jackson, Minn
I see him getting only better as the year goes along. Grab him for a bye week fill in or a backup QB.

Matt Cassel, NE
He has a team that does nothing but win around him. Lets see here, Randy Moss, Wes Welker and one of the top 3 offensive lines in the country along with some decent RB's. This may be his first start since high school but he has a lot better of a team around him in New England. Given that and whatever Brady has taught him he should do just fine. I like him for over 200 yards 1 interception and 2 touchdowns this week against the Jets.
-------------------------------------------

DEF
Arizona Cardinals
I like them to do nothing but improve as the year continues. They may give up some points but they should get enough sacks and interceptions to cover that.

Jeff Garcia, the Saints secondary and David Garrad

Here are some quick stats from the Buc's last two games vs. the Saints

September 16, 2007

Jeff Garcia stats 10/16 for 243 yards and 2 touchdowns. Average pass going for 15.2 yards. Not to mention Galloway loves the Saints DB's
-------------------------------
December 2, 2007

The second meeting had backup Luke McCown starting at quarterback for the Buccaneers in place of the injured Jeff Garcia. McCown would pass for 313 yards, 2 TD's, and connected on his first 15 consecutive passes of the game as the Bucs won 27-23.

That's all I need to know considering the Saints have done nothing to improve the secondary with the exception of adding two rookies who will take time before they learn the system and can make any impact. They put all the money up front with the defense with Jonathan Vilma and I expect the Tampa offensive line can hold them off.

Now lets look at what the preseason has showed us.

The trend continues,

The Saints defense in the first two preseason games allowed the opposition's starting quarterbacks, Matt Leinart of Arizona and Matt Schaub of Houston, to complete 21 of 24 passes for 278 yards and 2 touchdowns.

The fact is there is only a handful of QB's, most of them on running based teams, that did not throw for 2 TD's and over 250 yards last year against the Saints. Yes he is not a stud QB but he is solid enough to get you good stats without interceptions. Jeff Garcia also threw for 13 TD's and only 4 INT's in 2007. That is the lowest amount of interceptions for any QB in the NFL last year that played a over 13 games and is only second overall to David Garrad of Jacksonville who played 12 games with 3 INT's.


David Garrad
While we are on David Garrad lets go ahead and place him as a solid QB1 or QB2 this year. He has a decent cast of wide outs with Troy Williamson, the trade from the Vikings, Jerry Porter from Oakland and Dennis Northcutt. Throw Matt Jones, a solid end zone threat in the mix and I like Garrad's chances to be a top 12, maybe top 10 quarterback by the end of the season. He does not throw picks and he gets enough rushing yardage and TD passes to keep him in the mix. If Garrad or Garcia are available off the wire in your league I would pick them up for further insurance, a bye week fill in, a possible starter or good trade bait down the road. They are much more valuable to your roster then a 4Th or 5Th RB or WR.

Sit or Start

This is the best sit or start article I could find. I did not agree with some of the other major sites. I will have my fantasy tid bits up tomorrow night and I will have my player rankings for all positions compiled from all the sites with my own thoughts up on Friday. Saturday will be a mixed bag of articles. On Sunday I will be providing an active/inactive article before the early games and then again for the afternoon games. I will also post one for the Thursday night game, the Sunday night game and both Monday night games. My recipe for the week will be posted later tonite.

Hottie of the week



This is Nicole, she is an aspiring model and wanted to share her pic and a little bit about herself.

I'm originally from a small town in good ol Maine. From high school I went to a small Dance school in Franklin, MA where i recieved my associates degree. Now, however, Im currently very interested in traveling so you'll never find me in the same place for too long. I love meeting new people, working hard and making people laugh. If you can make me laugh, you're my best friend! I absolutely love love love to laugh!! I try not to be too serious about life and enjoy every bit of where life takes me.

Injury Report

Kicker Lawrence Tynes of the New York Giants has not participated in practice so far this week and will not play. Expect newly added John Carney to start. If you have Tynes I would suggest searching the waiver.

Linebacker Jason Taylor of the Washington Redskins is questionable for the Thursday opener. His status will not be known until game time.

Rudi Johnson signs with the Lions

The Detroit Lions have released Tatum Bell and have signed Rudi Johnson. He will most likely be a back up for the first week or two but I expect him to have the starting job over Kevin Smith within the first 3 weeks. Kevin Smith has been a ghost lately and I think a motivated Johnson can overtake him. He is upset about the situation and that should be a good motivator for him. I would place him as a mid to low end 3RB. He may be worth picking up off the wire if you are in need of a RB or would like a possible starter on an early bye week. However, with one of the worst offensive lines in the league I still don't expect him to do enough to make him a weekly starter.
