NFL Sudden Death League 2016

Jags locker room knows Bradley is likely gone with an 0-4 start so they might play like his job depends on this win rather than next week's London roadie. I'd be scared of that. They played GB tough in week 1 at home.

Sharps are picking the Jags to win in upsetish fashion, probably like 20-17, maybe 24-21. While I personally won't go anywhere near this game, I wouldn't be surprised if the Jags win by a field goal margin, because Baltimore had to rally to beat a rather unimpressive Cleveland team playing with a backup quarterback last week. Not to mention this would be a second road game in a row for the Ravens, and the sharps love to bet against teams playing back to back road games. Factor in that the Jags got demolished last week in San Diego, and I just don't see any way they come out and get beat by 2+ TDs at home against a Ravens team that flat out isn't that good.

Texan balloons bursting in midair after last night's debacle...27-0 versus a 3rd string rookie QB???:eek:

I am seriously considering changing my Carolina pick...even Mike Ditka is picking The Cowpokes over Da Bears!:eek:

Game was a disaster from start to Finnish!

Totally off the Texans bandwagon after that debacle. One thing to lose, another to not even bother to show up. Hard to root for a team that chose to do the latter.

And yet the Texans will most likely win their division. Stupid alignment.

I'm gonna trust in Da Coach and go against Da Bears on SNF with The Cowpokes taking it by 10.
 
Tough loss for the G-men and an early "Adios" to @AustinTx24 as a result...shoulda had some faith in your home state Dakboys; thanks to Da Coach, I saw the light and survived.

@Big_Dangerous will update the spreadsheet and I'll post Week 4 schedule on Tuesday for the survivors to pick from.

Good switch, because Carolina completely imploded after getting up early. Cam Newton was horrible. Took a safety early on, threw 3 INTs, and didn't connect with Kelvin Benjamin once the entire day, and only targeted him once on the day as well. :eek:

At least Miami didn't lose, that game was heading for disaster after they fumbled late in the 4th and the Browns had a chance to kick the game winning field goal, but Parkey missed from 46 yds out! :oops: I must admit, I turned it off as soon as I saw Miami fumble that ball thinking well, this is over. Flipped over to the end of the Giants and Redskins game and about 10-15 minutes later I saw Miami was in overtime with Cleveland, flipped back and saw Tannehill connect with Landry on that 32 yd pass, and then the next play Ajayi ran it in for the game winning touchdown. I was like wow, that's two games this weekend that I got lucky on.
 
We all know I'm picking tnf so might as well get this over with

Bengals over Dolphins by 14

Honestly, I was thinking of doing the same, but I'll wait a few days for the injury reports and to see who the sharps are picking and what not before making my pick.

I'm just picking tnf so I have a reason to watch and it makes it more interesting. I don't have a problem getting into Sunday and Monday night don't care who's playing but I've never been able to watch tnf always get bored so this is my way of making it worth watching. It's worked so far watched both games so far

Yeah, sometimes I forget it's on too, like the week the Jets and Bills played, I didn't watch the game at all.

It's not a bad pick either, being the third biggest spread. Neither of the other bigger favorites (Washington hosting Cleveland and Arizona hosting LA) are that trustworthy.

I may be joining you on the Bungle Bus.
 
Gonna hop on the Bungle bus!

I'll take Cincy by 10 points, as they've got to be desperate for a win at home. I also like the road team to fade on a short week too.

Tough week. I may change this pick, but right now I'm going back to Baltimore (by 7). Hoping 2 big road wins can energize them at home against a Raiders team that I still don't think is very good.

Would love to pick NE, but don't trust the QB situation even though it seems like they can win with anyone. Don't trust Cincinnati or Washington at all, and would also love to pick Denver, but I'm wary of back to back road games especially after last week.

I'll pencil you in for Baltimore by a TD. :)
 
Arizona gets well at home vs the Rams by ten.

Do not like the Red Rifle's prime time numbers to trust the Bungles. The Racial Slurs are banged up in the secondary. Saving Denver for a home game. Brees going back to S.D. might spark him to an All-World game. Would be all over Houston if Watt was in play (won 7 of last 8 vs Tennessee). The rest of the games are tossups because of injuries/3-timezone disadvantages.

1st year head coach in Miami, plus they're on the road on a short week, and they blew a big lead against the lowly Cleveland Browns on Sunday, relying on the Browns kicker to miss 3 field goals in the game, including the potential game winner, and this was a Browns team starting a 3rd string rookie quarterback. I mean you have to back the Bengals tonight, as I just don't see anyway Miami goes in and beats them.

The problem with Brees is that the Saints defense has more holes than Swiss cheese right now. They cannot stop anyone. Can't back them on the road against a decent Chargers team.

really don't want to pick this game

Would've picked the 49ers easily if they didn't choke against Dallas but now no idea

Arizona by 3

Think David Johnson vs the run defense of San Fran will be good enough even tho San Fran defense has been decent at home

No Carson Palmer = No bueno for the Cardinals. :(
 
He might pick the Chargers! :eek:

Rolling with the Pittsburgh Steelers by 13 in Week 6!
Kubiak may not coach...went to the hospital after the game with flu-like symptoms. Test results were normal but on a short week and his sideline collapse a couple of years ago, they might be smart to rest him.

Yeah, although they'll probably get Siemian back, so that should help them. I expect Denver to win, but San Diego plays them tough almost every year.

The Chargers have played everyone tough until the fourth quarter. Rivers is having a great year despite all the WR injuries!

I didnt watch yesterday but i heard a radio host say they would be undefeated if the game stopped at the 2min warning in the 4th.

Well he throws for a ton of yards, they sling all around the yard, so he's great to have in fantasy. However, he has committed a number of costly turnovers late in games that have cost his team a chance. With guys that throw it as much as he does, their interception numbers are a bit higher than you'd like.

In 173 attempts, he has 117 completions, 11 TDs and only 3 INTs. Those are winning numbers if the rest of the team could finish.

Broncos looked awful against Atlanta but San Diego's lack of dynamic backs are gonna make it difficult to replicate that. Hunter Henry tho >>>>>>>>>> tamme could be a difference maker.

Gotta stay with the defending champs by 6. San Diego finds a new way to lose every game and I don't expect anything different tonight.

Sharps picking San Diego as live dogs, but I gotta agree with your pick. I can't pick against Denver given how decimated the Chargers have been with injuries and their tendency to blow leads late in games.
