NFFC Message Boards

Here is a re-cap of last week:

Final Results:

NNOY 3-0 (SD W, Car W, Stl W)
KW3 2-1 (NYG W, Min W, Jax L)
Swearengen 2-1 (Dal L, SD W, Buf W)
FFMadMan 2-1 (Pit W, Oak L, Bal W)
JB 2-3 (Cle L, Mia L, Stl W, Bal W, GB L)

I’ll post my three locks for this week after I tout them on my fantasy sports show tonight at 7pm EDT on http://www.sportstalkcleveland.com

I know at least one person from the board is planning to call-in. So if you have a free hour it may be worth your time to listen in.

get 10 MB zombies who think they know handicapping. each zombie picks three games per week using some Casino's standard line. run it from Week 6 (or Week 7) - Week 17. throw in $50/person, best records takes all.

Great idea Gordon. I’m in for that. Let’s see if a few more people respond positively, we can start it in week 7.

I'm in for the handicapping game.

I'll handicap anything ... count me in if we can get a decent group.

Here are my locks of the week.

1. KC -1.5 over JAX. KC bounced back big over BAL. They ran all over them. JAX has a few injuries on the DL so they've recenlty struggled with the run. KC will continue to get back in the playoff hunt. They will score 28+ on JAX and win by 7+.

2. PIT +3 over DAL. Pit has the WRs to exploit the problems in the Dallas secondary. Dallas O is one dimensional. PIT will completely shut down the DAL running game. Vinny will have to win it. I don't think he can. Each and every week of the season Vinny has regressed. It falling aprt for Parcells. PIT wins easy. 10+ point victory.

3. CIN +3 over CLE. The CIN OL is back at full strength. They ran all over PIT last game. They were leading that game in the 4th but they were robbed by a terrible PI call in the end zone which gave PIT the winning points.

CIN has been moving the ball between the 20s.
The problem is they've been asking Palmer to do way too much for a first time starter. He's throwing the ball 38+ times a game. They need to get that number down to 25.

Last season, CIN was money in the red zone. They did it with a power running game. They need to get back to it because this CLE team won't offer much of a fight. The CLE D is a mess. The CLE O is in bad shape too. CIN will run on them and Chad Johnson will get deep for a few big plays. CIN wins by 7.

Let's see what I can do here...

STL-6 over TB - What a shot in the arm last Sunday's performance was for STL. The Bucs will stuggle for points and thier defense could be suspect in this game. Griese will show why DEN gave up on him.

SAN +6 over ATL - Does anyone realize that SAN leads the league in scoring, it's true. ATL was handed thier first loss by DET, teams are starting to get a handle on Vick. ATL may win the game, but SAN wins the money.

CIN +3 over CLE - I see disarray in the Browns camp. Garcia may not have been the savior everyone thought he was. He is victimized by the Davis offensive system that has plagued CLE the past several years. I see this game going 2 ways, Big for Cincy, or withing a FG, but either way, you will win.

I’ll throw some rules up for a handicapping game this weekend. Let’s officially start next week. We will use one line and lock it in on Fridays (probably a major Vegas Casino line or a offshore more than one of us uses.) It can run a total of 11 weeks (33 picks total) and we can go one more for the playoffs if there is interest.

The picks I touted last night were:

NE –4.5
Oak +2 (outright winner)
Dal –3


I’ll write my rationale up for each game tomorrow.
