Week 7 was yet another sloppy week of Fantasy Football. The low scoring games continued and that leads to a situation where one player having a monster game could be the difference as you try to outlast the Bye Week Buzzkill.
I went 3-2-1 last week predicting, bringing my season record up to
27-13-2
The first game I lost last week was the unlikely Blood & Thunder over Iron Pigs 116 - 91. It was unlikely as B & T was definitely hurt by poor match-ups and Bye week issues. But like I mentioned in the intro, one big game out of a player gives you hope. Arian Foster, and his 42 fantasy points were the only reason B & T didn't need to bite his nails on MNF.
The other loss came at my shoot-for-the-moon bet, where I took 7 QB's Deep to pull one out.
LGBW suffered yet another tie last week. This time it was against 6 Wide. This seems to have prompted a name change, the second in the league this year. The teams unveiling ceremony comes this weekend as...drum roll... The Dreamkillers take on F Philly. I think the name says it all.
WEEK 8 Predictions
Dreamkillers Vs. F Philly
By having sole possession of the entire NY Jets football team, F Philly is in Bye week hell this week. As DK's "star" RB has the perfect opportunity to wreck Havok vs Indianapolis this week, so does the entire DK team. This will even the Win to Tie Ratio. Dreamkillers 105 F Philly 87
6 Wide Vs. Iron Pigs
Both teams suffering demoralizing losses last weekend. I'd like to say that each team has great match-ups this week, but I can't. Should be a real stinker of a game and open for which team wants it more. I'll pick the Iron Pigs in this one. Iron Pigs 101 6 wide 95
Manning Vs. Food Vs 7 QB's Deep
Not much to write about here. I won't be picking 7 QB's again this year. Manning Vs. Food 111 7 QB's Deep 98
Clean Slate Vs. Thug Life
Might be the best matchup of the week. I like match-ups for both teams and should be a shootout of sorts. I'll go with Clean Slate as I think Fitz and the Bills will come up big this week.
Clean Slate 122 Thug Life 119
Blood & Thunder Vs. Cinderella Story
I really should pick B & T here, as his bye week situation this week is pretty much nil. However, despite a few bye week issues, I can't bet against a Cinderella team that has racked up the points this year, outside of last week that is.
Cinderella Story 126 Blood & Thunder 125
Repeal Obama Vs. Mission:Repeat
Mission Repeat is having some issues right now and R:O seems to be the team to exploit them. Without Aaron Rodgers, this M:R team is pedestrian. R:O has his issues too, but they seem to minor, at least for this week. R:O 99 M:R 89
