69-58-5 on the NFL last season (2018/19) up 26.36 units

28-37 on the NFL this season down 11.86 units

Dolphins/Steelers over 43 for 2 units. FitzMagic will score some touchdowns and have some turnovers. Short Fields help overs. Minkah Fitzpatrick plays against the team that traded him this season. Steelers have scored at least 20 points in every game except Week 1 against the Patriots. Bills dropped 31 on the Dolphins last week. If Pittsburgh wins this game, they will be only 2 games back in the division. They should score some points to help this over and win.

Here’s a useless stat.. NFL teams that names start with B went 0-6 this weekend. My Panthers got ruined by the Shanahan offense. I normally wait till Wednesday to write these, but I don’t care enough about the Steelers/Dolphins game tonight to wait for them to play.

Vikings beat Redskins 19-9

 

Adrian Peterson passed Tomlinson (13,684) for the 6th-most rush yards; however, the Redskins are 1-7. Vikings are 4-0 at home and a game back of the 7-1 Packers for the division. Dalvin Cook and Diggs are talented. Cousins is now 28-15-1 against teams below .500

Titans beat Buccaneers 27-23

 

Jameis is going to Jameis. Winston has 7 interceptions in his last 2 games. Mike Evans went off and now has the most catches in Buccaneers history. Tannehill has done well with his starts. The Buccaneers are now 0-4 against backup Qbs this season. Tennessee travels to Carolina this week.

Chargers beat Da Bears 17-16

 

Bears missed the game winning field goal. Matt Nagy decided to take a knee instead of run the ball for more yards to get a closer field goal. Bears are 7-12 when Trubisky throws the ball more than 30 times. Allen Robinson is a stud. Chargers did just enough to win. Neither of these teams looks good this season.

Rams Beat Bengals 24-10

 

Bengals couldn’t stop Kupp over the middle of the field. I have said it 18 times, but the Bengals are rarely in position to make a tackle and they miss a lot of tackles. Not a good combo. Rams have beat the Falcons and Bengals recently, so 5-3 isn’t as good as it looks for them. Bengals have allowed over 400 yards in most (5) of their games this season.

Patriots Beat Browns 27-13

 

Patriots’ defense dominates again. James White has scored between 9 and 11 fantasy points in every game this season. Thirst Trap Edelman went off with 2 TDs. Belichick gets his 300th win. Chubb lost two fumbles. Former Brown, Jamie Collins now has a career high 6 sacks. Baker Mayfield has more interceptions this season (12) than Tom Brady had last season.

Lions Beat Giants 31-26

 

Saquon Barkley beasted a human-being, but the Giants were in too big of a hole to climb out. Why the Giants were not in the no-huddle down 12 with 9 minutes left is beyond me. Lions might be good, but their division is tough. Lions already have more 28+ points games than they had last season. Jones had 4 TDs today, but he has 12 turnovers since week 3.

Eagles Beat Bills 31-13

 

Eagles have won 22 games in a row when scoring more than 25 points. Eagles had to win this game and they did. Miles Sanders had a pretty 65 yard TD run. John Brown has had 50 yards in every game this season. Josh Allen is a consistent fantasy QB. Lot of wind in Buffalo. Bills can rebound against the Redskins and the Eagles have the Bears next.

Saints Are Holier than the Cardinals 31-9

 

Brees is back. Kamara is still injured. Michael Thomas is a stud. Saints keep rolling. New Orleans has the best rushing defense in the league. The Saints have allowed less than 300 total yards in 5 straight. Arizona has allowed 7 100 yard receivers this season. Edmonds left with a hamstring injury. Cardinals running-backs continue to frustrate fantasy owners. The Cardinals just traded for Kenyan Drake.

Jaguars Ghost the Jets 29-15

 

Jets blitzed Minshew too much. The Jags mascot dressed up as a ghost after Darnold said he was seeing ghosts against the Patriots last week. Bell has yet to get 100 yards in a game this season. Fournette is looking like a stud RB lately.

Colts Beat Broncos 15-13

 

Flacco isn’t good and the Broncos blew it. TY Hilton got open late in the 4th for the big play that led to the win. Hilton still hasn’t had a 100 yard game this season, but he opens the offense up for Mack and others.

Texans Beat Raiders 27-24

 

Watson is more clutch than Carr. Watson passed Derek’s brother, David Carr, for 2nd most pass Tds in Texans History. Hunter Renfrow got a long touchdown. Gruden continues to praise opposing team’s QBs, while ignoring his own. He compared Watson to Michael Jordan this week.

Seahawks Beat Falcons 27-20

 

Seahawks got up by 20-something and let the Falcons claw back. Matt Schaub didn’t look terrible, but Russell Wilson is clearly better. Falcons haven’t had an interception for 6 straight games. Austin Hooper looks like a stud TE. Ridley, Hooper, and Jones stepped up without Sanu. Falcons don’t have a defense. They don’t sack and they don’t turn you over.

49ers Shitpump the Panthers 51-13

 

Whatever. Panthers got manhandled. Just bring Cam Newton back and beat the Titans. I bet on my Panthers to have over 8 wins this season… they have to win at home this week for that bet to hit and them to make the playoffs. Carolina still have Saints 2x, at Packers, and at Colts on their schedule. Not easy games. 51 points were the most for the 49ers since 1993 when Steve Young was their QB. Young is 19 years older than their head coach, Kyle Shanahan.

Packers Beat Chiefs 31-24

 

Rodgers is an amazing QB. Andy Reid’s clock management is once again questionable. Hardman and Hill are crazy fast. The Packers have a great two-headed running-back monster in Jones and Williams. Jones had 159 receiving yards. Davante Adams who?McCoy had a costly fumble. Matt Moore has lost his last 8 against a QB that has won a Super Bowl. Jones has 11 Tds, the last Packer RB to have that many Tds in a season was Ahman Green in 2003.
