Cleveland at Baltimore - Cleveland will destroy Baltimore
San Diego at Jacksonville - San Diego offense playing like crap lately. Jax D is excellent
New Orleans at Houston - A high scoring game with Ron Dayne running wild
Kansas City at Indianapolis - No analyst has picked KC to win, so I'll be like George Costanza!
Giants at Detroit - This is a must win for the Giants
Carolina at Green Bay - Carolina playing like freshman lately and no QB makes winning tough
Oakland at Minnesota - I think Oakland sneaks one out here on the road
Arizona at Cincinnati - Offense has to play big today
Pittsburgh at Jets - J - E - T - S SUCK! SUCK! SUCK!
Chicago at Seattle - Sexy Rexy is back!!!
St. Louis at San Francisco - ST. Louis starting to play up to potential
Washington at Dallas - Romo - TO connection is hot. Marion Barber will run circles around WAS

Week 1 - 10 of 16
Week 2 - 7 of 16
Week 3 - 9 of 16

WOW! Definitely one of my worst weeks. Whats even more painful was that at halftime during the 1:00 games (which were most games), I was winning every game....still can't believe it turned out this bad! Regardless, I'm looking to rebound this week.....

Minnesota at Green Bay - I like the Green Bay D to shut down Peterson
Denver at Kansas City - Denver has been bad all season while Kansas City has been strong
Buffalo at Miami - Why would anyone pick Miami at this point?
St. Louis at New Orleans - St. Louis has pieces in place but New Orleans offense playing great
Cleveland at Pittsburgh - Look for Cleveland to upset. Their first meeting was a blowout but Anderson wasn't the QB yet...
Philadelphia at Washington - Tough one to pick so I'll flip and go with Philly
Atlanta at Carolina - Both teams have a QB issue so Carolina D wins out
Jacksonville at Tennessee - Tennessee surprisingly good, good run game, good run D
Cincinnati at Baltimore - I like Cincy Offense over Balt defense
Detroit at Arizona - Detroit offense too good here
Dallas at Giants - Home team seems a bit hungrier and is a must win game
Chicago at Oakland - Chicago is overrated but they will win this game
Indianapolis at San Diego - I don't care what analysts say, Indy is top-notch
San Francisco at Seattle - San Fran upsets this game...just a hunch

Week 8 - 11 of 13

Last week was clearly my best week as I missed out on Chicago and Minnesota not living up to their defensive reputations. Lets see if I can go 14 for 14 in Week 9.....

Cincinnati at Buffalo - Buffalo playing surprisingly but I like Cincy
Denver at Detroit - Detroit offense with Kevin Jones is top-notch

Carolina at Tennessee - Young is back, defense is quality, Carolina QB situation is dismal

Fantasy Man's Week 7 Picks

I got killed in Week 6 because of the Jets who I thought would rally behind Chad Pennington with his potential career on the line. Well, they lost as usual and it still looks like Chad is the starter. Good thing I'm a Giantas fan.

So far...
Week 1 - 10 of 16
Week 2 - 7 of 16
Week 3 - 9 of 16
Week 4 - 8 of 14
Week 5 - 10 of 14
Week 6 - 9 of 13

Tennessee at Houston - Tennessee D looks great and Houston still missing Johnson
Tampa Bay at Detroit - Tampa and Garcia playing lights out
Atlanta at New Orleans - Quality win last week and Welcome to the Reggie Bush Show!
Baltimore at Buffalo - Still going to stick with the great defense
San Francisco at Giants - Playing as good as anyone right now and Defense looks great lately
Arizona at Washington - Ari QB situation hurts them a bit
New England at Miami - No brainer, but wouldn't be interesting if Miami pulled this one out?
Kansas City at Oakland - KC playing quality ball right now
Jets at Cincinnati - Cincinnati Offense is better than Jets D! Plus Chad stopped talking
Minnesota at Dallas - Minnesota D is tops but Dallas is too good right now despite the loss
Chicago at Philadelphia - Tough one here since Philly wasn't great against the Jets who suck
St. Louis at Seattle - This is the team that St. Louis breaks the streak. Bulger back as well
Pittsburgh at Denver - Denver hasn't been as good as advertised early on. Pittsburgh has

Monday Night
Indanapolis at Jacksonville - This should be a close game but you have to like Peyton Manning on a Monday night

The Fantasy Man's Week 6 Report

Not a bad week overall in week 5. What worked out for some of us was the fact that most fantasy teams had low scoring matchups. There weren't too many big performances to really bust out one fantasy team over another. This week will be interesting though...

So far...
Week 1 - 10 of 16
Week 2 - 7 of 16
Week 3 - 9 of 16
Week 4 - 8 of 14
Week 5 - 10 of 14

St. Louis at Baltimore - Baltimore has been bad offensively but St. Louis has been god awful all around
Minnesota at Chicago - Tough one here. I don't think Griese is for real but I have to go with the Bears
Miami at Cleveland - I'm going to take a shot and say Cleveland because they have been upset kings all season
Washington at Green Bay - I like Green Bay at home and Farve has been fantastic
Houston at Jacksonville - Tough one but Jax defense is far superior
Cincinnati at Kansas City - KC has upset potential written all over it but Cincy needs a win here after a bye
Philadelphia at Jets - Penningtons career is on the line, I'd bet more on him succeeding this week over failing
Tennessee at Tampa Bay - Just a hunch but I'm going w/ Tampa who has been better than expected all year
Carolina at Arizona - All hail King Warner!
New England at Dallas - Coin toss? New England is the safer pick here
Oakland at San Diego - San Diego might be starting to heat up
New Orleans at Seattle - Why the heck not?? They have to win at some point

Monday Night
Giants at Atlanta - Giants baby!!!! No brainer!

The Fantasy Man's WEEK 5 Picks

As I look back at last week, it was half disaster as some of the more solid teams fell and most likely losing people a lot of money. There were plenty of upsets from the likes of Arizona, Buffalo, Kansas City, Atlanta, Cleveland, etc. Fortunately, if you listened to the Fantasy Man, you got more that 50% correct....not much more, but a little bit....lol!

So far...
Week 1 - 10 of 16
Week 2 - 7 of 16
Week 3 - 9 of 16
Week 4 - 8 of 14

Cleveland at New England - Cleveland has been the upset king, but that stops this week vs. NE
Seattle at Pittsburgh - I'll simply take Pitt at home
Carolina at New Orleans - Let me intrioduce you to the Reggie Bush Show! The new era begins
Detroit at Washington - Offense is too good
Giants at Jets - If they can save some of that crazy defense from last week, there is no way the Jets will win
Miami at Houston - I like Houston to upset this week although it wouldnt be much of an upset
Atlanta at Tennessee - Two terrible teams but I'd put my money on Vince Young
Jacksonville at Kansas City - Just a hunch. This one is a coin flip and I went with Jax
Arizona at St. Louis - Great win last week. Warner is the key. St. Louis without Jackson and now Bulger
Tampa Bay at Indianapolis - Keep the winning streak alive
San Diego at Denver - LT will run wild
Baltimore at San Francisco - Big time upset the week
Chicago at Green Bay - Griese is clearly not the answer, should have stuck with Rex...Go Packers!

Monday Night
Dallas at Buffalo - Dallas defense is average but I think Romo is too good to lose here on Monday Night

The Fantasy Man's WEEK 4 Picks

Overall, not bad last week, more than 50% which is what we want. This week "seems" fairly easy but barring any upsets, I feel like I will boost my average this week. I played it safe, went with the hot teams so hopefully you guys will make good picks and win some money......

So far...
Week 1 - 10 of 16
Week 2 - 7 of 16
Week 3 - 9 of 16

Houston at Atlanta - Houston much better team than the Falcons
Jets at Buffalo - Buffalo stinks and Jets defense showed signs of life last week
Baltimore at Cleveland - Defense is too good
St. Louis at Dallas - Too good right now to lose at home to an 0-3 team
Chicago at Detroit - Shouldn't give up on Rex but since they did, now they MUST to win
Oakland at Miami - If they win, "that's two in a row, and that's called a winning streak"
Green Bay at Minnesota - Brett Farve is playing great
Tampa Bay at Carolina - Tampa Bay looks better than expected
Seattle at San Francisco - Seattle wins this at the end of the 4th quarter
Pittsburgh at Arizona - Pittsburgh is hot and Arizona has been terrible
Denver at Indianapolis - Indy at home seems like a safe pick
Kansas City at San Diego - Kansas City is awful this year and San Diego D not too bad
Philadelphia at Giants - Giants looked great in 2nd half last week and their home

Monday Night
New England at Cincinnati - Who can actually beat the Pats right now???
