Anyone playing fantasy football by the way?
So far I think the season has been pretty exciting, with some unforseen events ofcourse. I am excited as 'my' Broncos are 2-0 right now. Ofcourse the ref blew that call in last weeks game vs. San Diego, but that doesnt mean im less happy about the win.
Tom Brady's injury was a big surprise for me. I have to say that this will definately make the AFC East a more open competition probably, and I am curious to see if Cassell will be able to give the Pats a spot in the play-offs.
One team thats looking really good right now are the Cowboys. Definately a contender for me, although that is pretty hard to say in Week 3 I think.
My predictions for this week:
Chiefs - Falcons: Although both teams have been struggling so far, I think the Falcons should be able to run against the horrible Chiefs defence. Hopefully Matt Ryan can take revenge for last weeks mistakes. I like him a lot as a QB, definately a good one for the future.
Raiders - Bills: Easy pick for me. Defiantely the Bills. Oakland's defence is one big hole and with the Bills outstanding defence so far, i dont see how JaMarcus Rusell and Darren McFadden would be able to help Oakland to a win here.
Buccaneers - Bears:This is a hard pick for me. I dont know much about both teams, but I have to pick the Bears. There D has been pretty good and after watching the highlights vs Indy in week 1, they should be able to get a win here I think.
Panthers - Vikings:Another hard one. Vikings defence really hasnt impressed me the way they used to do last year. Experts predicted them they'd be better with the addition of Allen, but they havent showed it yet. (Which is sad cuz I drafted them in my Fantasy Team
). My vote is for the Panthers here.Dolphins - Patriots:Although the Dolphins are looking better than last year, I think the Patriots will not have to work to hard for a win here. Even with Brady injured.
Bengals - Giants: With the Bengals WRs really not performing well, and neither their QB, I'd say Eli Manning should have a lot of time to show why they could go for a second Superbowl.
Texans - Titans:Again 2 teams I dont know very well, but I think Titans will be able to outscore the Texans in the end.
Cardinals - Redskins:Have to go with the Cardinals here. Redskins havent impressed me yet.
Saints - Broncos: To me this is the matchup of the week, not only because Im a Broncos fan, but with 2 great offenses, we should see a lot of touchdowns. I think Reggie Bush will be able to take at least 1 return for touchdown with Denvers struggling special teams. However I think Denver will end up with most points on the board at the end of the matchup. Jay Cutler is in his coming out season. U better get him if u play fantasy (lucky i drafted him together with Marshall
)Lions - 49ers49ers have impressed me so far, I think they should be able to beat Detroit here.
Rams - Seahawks:Easy one. although the Seahawks have a lot of injured WRs, the addition of Colbert and Robinson , they should be able to roll over the Rams. I think the Rams will be the Miami Dolphins of this season.
Browns - Ravens:Hard one for me. Think this will be a good matchup. If I have to pick a team, it will be the Browns, but it will be a close game I think. Ravens might just as well walk away with a victory.
Jaguars - Colts:Another good matchup, will be a fun game to watch. I think the Jaguars will be able to surprise the Colts.
Steelers - Eagles:A lot of expectations from the Eagles this season, but they havent impressed me yet. My pick is the Steelers.
Cowboys - Packers: And another good match up here. Rogers has been good, but I think the Cowboys will be the winner here.
Jets - Chargers:I think Brett Favre's days are over. He's still good, but not good enough to beat a team led by Philip Rivers who has been solid so far this season.
Well, hope we can get some discussion going. Oh, and dont forget to put Michael Turner in your fantasy lineup. He'll beat those Chiefs D for a lot of yards. That is if he aint injured ofcourse
