NFL - ESPN Eliminator Challenge

[Queen of Spades]

I'm going with the Rams this week. I must say, even though the stats back up the pick I'm very nervous about this one. Justin Blackmon is coming back for the Jags this week and St. Louis has shown that they have the ability to play well below their potential. Alas, I still think the chance to get a win with a lower tier team is worth the risk. All the best to everyone else in their picks this week.

I'm going with the Rams too.

And yes, Justin Blackmon is good, but as of today Gabbert is still the QB and MJD has been terrible this year (I should know, I drafted him ).

Might be the only time you can use the Rams, and at some point if you want to separate from the field you have to take a risk.

I took a risk and I separated from the field! It's the NFL, though. Any given Sunday and all that. Only one team has ever gone undefeated. You just never know. It's going to be tough choosing in the teen Gameweeks!

I'm torn between either picking the Rams over the Jags or the Chiefs over the Titans.

Chiefs are on the road, but Fitzpatrick is playing for the Titans.

I'm predicting Denver will crush Dallas.

I'm predicting Denver will crush Dallas.

I'm sure they will.

 

[Peace]

That is risky, don't count out the Lions.

Maybe but I'm thinking the Packers are going to have a good game against the team they lead 21-3 overall.

And they did it. That and Brady losing is my only solace on this crappy FFL day.

Not having to deal with Calvin Johnson made it a fairly easy day for the Packers D.

I was wrong but I still got the win.

 

[mscriv]

I went with the Chargers over the Raiders.

Going Chargers... So you guys might want to rethink.

It's not looking good for your pick at the moment. First half is almost over and the Raiders are making the Chargers look bad with a 17-0 lead. They just showed a stat saying that San Diego hasn't been shut out in the first half since 2008.

I'm going with the Rams too.

Congrats! Our pick worked out well.

I'm predicting Denver will crush Dallas.

I was wrong but I still got the win.

What an incredible game! It would have been neat to see Dallas pull out the victory just to remind us all that you can never count out the underdog. Denver looks like they have a chance to run the table.

If the Chargers lose, that will be 3 weeks in a row that I have picked the losing team instead of the winning one.

Denver got lucky tonight. Their defense didn't do much tonight to stop the Cowboys. Romo threw for over 500 yards. Fortunately, we got a turnover when we needed it most.

Wow, good thing I stayed away from the Chargers.

 

[Tilpots]

Proving time and time again I not only suck at this, but all Fantasy Sports.

 

[ucfgrad93]

I have picked the wrong team for the last 3 weeks. I'm going Broncos this week.

 

[GoCubsGo]

I had to go with what I thought was a sure win. Any team playing Jacksonville.

Eventually the ball is going to bounce the right way and they'll get an unlikely victory.

 

[mscriv]

Looking at their schedule I'm not too sure about that. I'll admit that each week the first thing I look at is who is playing Jacksonville.

 

[MacNut]

Eventually the ball is going to bounce the right way and they'll get an unlikely victory.

But not next week.

 

[mscriv]

But not next week.

Wouldn't that just be the most incredible thing. If the Jaguars beat the Broncos next week it would be unbelievable.

Well, look what happened with the Pats. I sure didn't see that coming.

You are right, but I think Cincinnati is a team on the rise. They have lots of young talented players at key positions and may think they can and will make the playoffs this year. The Jags are looking like they could be one of the NFL's worst teams in a long, long time. At the end of the season we literally could see the Broncos at 17-0 and the Jags at 0-17. On paper it literally looks like a massacre is going to happen when these teams face off next week.

An upset by the Jags would literally blow up the sports media and pay out incredible odds in Vegas.

This means Manning will play the whole game while running up the score to something like 102-21

The Bengals have actually made back to back playoff appearances, so this isn't exactly a stunner. They're certainly the best team in their division and they a solid defense. And some play makers on offense. And Dalton (2 playoff starts and some tough division games against the Steelers and Ravens), continues to rack up some big game experience.

I'm going with Kansas City against Oakland this week.

Hmmm.... interesting choice.

 

[Queen of Spades]

Texans boned me this week. I clearly overestimated their ability not to stink out the joint.
