1. Eat More Chicken (Last Week: 2nd)
Avg points for: 149
Avg points against: 115
#SophomoreSuccess. Jenna got 111 points from her Cowboys trio (Romo-Dez-Witten) which helped her leap frog over Adam into first place (both in the real standings and in these Power Ranks.) She also has the highest amount of points scored, averaging a tick under 150 points per week this season...Combine that with her weak schedule (4th easiest in the league) and it's easy to see why Jenna has the only remaining undefeated team. The only weak spot on this team is RB depth... for now Jenna is fine with Forte-Miller-Tolbert but it wouldn't hurt to bolster the depth. Jenna's team would be 45-9-1 if she played every team every week.
2. Tahiti Loungers (Last Week: 3rd)
Avg points for: 133
Avg points against: 121
It's sad but true: The 22 points combined I got from Spiller and Lacy was the highest I've had from my RBs this season. Spiller remains a weekly mystery for now... 11 of his 12 points came on one run and he only had a few carries. The 10 day rest will help but CJ likely wont be 100% for another few weeks. It's baffling that he had 0 targets and seemingly isn't involved in the passing game. Keep in mind Spiller really heated up in the second half last year, I believe he was fantasy's #2 RB behind AP over the last 10 weeks of the fantasy season. Eddie Lacy had a nice game but didn't score...Im happy to have him as a solid RB2. Jimmy Graham didn't score either but still put up a monster week... The Brees/Graham is the best combo possibly to have in fantasy football. The floor is very high for my team- 122 points in week 2 was my lowest score of the year. I do feel like I could win the championship with my roster as is, but I would still like to improve my RB situation and upgrade at flex. (Inquire within) My team would be 33-22 if I played every team every week.
3. Team Ice Cream (Last Week: 1st)
Avg points for: 143
Avg points against: 114
Adam's team had it's 2nd "low" week of the season. I think right now this team probably has the highest blow up potential, but it's weeks like this past one that bring Adam back down to earth. Another week, another QB debacle. This time was bad luck with an early game Hoyer injury but still... I didn't like the Hoyer play from the beginning. Jamaal Charles is an absolute animal. AP, Charles and McCoy have separated themselves, in my mind, into a tier of their own. It's downright shocking Demaryius Thomas was held to just 10 points in a 51 point Bronco effort.... I dodged a major bullet there. Another bright spot for Adam was recently acquired Justin Blackmon... he went off for 5/136/1. The Jags are playing in Denver this Sunday so that basically means a full game of playing catch up. The Broncos just got torched by the Cowboys so I'm guessing the Jags know how to watch video tape. Adam would be 37-17-1 if he played every team every week.
4. Boston Patriots (Last Week: 4th)
Avg points for: 135
Avg points against: 133
Another week, another tough loss for Mr. B. It seems like this happens every week... a nice score (138) but a small margin loss to an unexpected blow up (143 from Donny.) It was a perfect week to play Pierre Thomas at the flex... I wouldn't be banking on him even scoring half of 29 points again this year but it certainly was a nice plug and play this past week. With 2 solid QB options and 2 nice TE options, Mr. B should cash in on his depth at some point soon via the trade market. Mr. B would be 34-21 if he played every team every week.
5. A Pinch Better (Last Week: 5th)
Avg points for: 128
Avg points against: 128
A nice bounce back after 2 slow weeks for Sean earns him a victory over his older, but less cool, brother. My major concerns with this team is the long term health of the players who are carrying the load thus far-
Edelman- Now that Amendola is back Edelman in bench material
McFadden- Hurt right now
Roddy- Huge mess. Just when he's about to get over the ankle injury he pulls a hammy.
Mathews- Injured, concussed, outplayed by Danny
F Jax- Healthy now but hes old and already starting to get banged up
Murray- Amazing so far but this is Murray. It's almost a guarantee he misses time at some point.
The good thing here is that Foster seems to have re established himself as the clear lead back in Houston. That's a big deal and affords Sean the opportunity to shop his secondary backs around if he wants to. Sean would be 31-23-1 if he played every team every week.
6. Dr. Victorious Secret (Last Week: 6th)
Avg points for: 126
Avg points against: 107
Kait just keeps rolling along. We've seen this before... Great draft and solid squad BUT inactivity and complacency in regard to the waiver wire is starting to hurt her team. Kait has made 0 moves this year so far and she is lucky to be 4-1. As long as Kait has Peyton Manning she is going to contend, but the RB duo of T Richardson and S Ridley is amazingly unproductive and disappointing. Kait has a lot of nice WR options- esp with Harvin cooking on the bench- and FINALLY it looks like Gronk will be back in the lineup this week. Outside of week 1 Kait is averaging a very pedestrian 115 per week but she has been lucky with scheduling thus far (over those same 4 weeks her opponents are averaging just 99 points.) We'll see which direction this team heads but I could see it going either way. I say this all the time... "You can't win your league on draft day but you CAN lose it."...Kait is a perfect example for the former part of that sentance. Even with a great draft you cant expect to win if you don't make in-season moves. Kait would be 29-25-1 if she played every team every week.
7. The Crossing Guards (Last Week: 7th)
Avg points for: 119
Avg points against: 151
The fantasy Gods were NOT happy with #DeutscheBill missing the draft this year. They may have rewarded him with a nice roster but WOW is he getting screwed by the schedule. Bill is averaging a league worst 150 points against. That's right.... 150 points against. Bill has more points against than the highest scoring team has points for...The WR trio of Green-Smith-V Jax is no joke... the major issues on this team continue to be RB depth/scoring. Its borderline crazy town that Bill inherited an auto drafted team and hasn't made a single trade yet. Stay tuned. Bills team would be 23-32 if he played every team every week.
8. Angry Pirates (Last Week: 11th)
Avg points for: 101
Avg points against: 114
Big trade last week followed up by a big (lucky) win so Campbell gets the 3 spot bump up this week. First it needs to be mentioned that Campbell has actually scored the least amount of points in the league so far this year, but has been lucky with scheduling and is sitting in 5th place at 3-2. This past week was the first time C-Bell got over the 100 mark since week 1... and AP was on a bye. The draft picks of the suspended guys - Gordon and Blackmon- paid off nicely for C-Bell. Rolling out AP, Sproles, Gordon and Decker is real nice... now if only Dwayne Bowe could wake up this team would be in business. Campbell's team would be 9-46 if he played every team every week.
9. A1 Providers (Last Week: 8th)
Avg points for: 128
Avg points against: 132
The Julio Jones injury effects more than just the Julio Jones owners. I highly doubt Matt Ryan is a top 8 fantasy QB moving forward. The Owen Daniels injury is another tough break for Paul... Heath Miller is a fine replacement but he lacks the upside Daniels had. It was encouraging effort from Ray Rice who had his best output of the season, but still- this team is very unexciting right now. Just kind of meh. Paul may need another 40 point effort from Cruz tonight if he wants to win this week. Paul would be 29-26 if he played every team every week.
10. Comeback Story (Last Week: 12th)
Avg points for: 106
Avg points against: 120
Holy Comeback. In the matchup of the week, Donny pulled off the upset on Monday night and pulled out the much needed victory. This is the week Donny finally played the right WRs... Amendola was bland in his return but Alshon Jeffery and TY Hilton put up a combined 82 points. Defenses have been "taking away" Brandon Marshall the past few weeks, leaving Jeffery open on single coverage. The performance from this past week will serve as an eye-opening experience for defensive coordinators. I expect regression for Jeffery but he is looking like a solid weekly flex play for the rest of the season. I'm pissed I dropped him. Another positive note for Donny is the return of Alfred Morris this week, and hopefully S Jax next week. Also, Brady is going to be better moving forward with the return of The Gronk.....This happens every year. Donny has a ridiculously slow start, but claws back and battles for a playoff spot. We'll see if he can pull it off again this year. Most appropriate name ever. Donny would be 18-37 if he played every team every week.
11. the rental guys (Last Week: 9th)
Avg points for: 120
Avg points against: 134
Rough week for Dan. 3rd consecutive loss and then Julio. After the Julio news came down, Dan made a trade. Here it is:
Dan gets: Larry Fitz, Le'Veon Bell, MJD
Adam gets: Doug Martin, Shane Vereen
I like the trade a lot for Dan. I also like it for Adam, who is clearly making moves for the future, but Dan made a nice trade here in response to the Jones injury.
New staring lineup for Dan:
Kaep/ A Smith
Fitz
James Jones
Leveon Bell
D Willy/ MJD
Cameron
Shorts/ T Austin
Will this team compete? Sure. Do I see this team performing well enough to make up the ground Dan has already lost? No. I highly doubt Dan continues his playoff streak this year unless he gets very lucky. Dan's record would be 26-29 if he played every team every week.

Bruins Sox and Pats weekend roundup
Big weekend in Boston Sports... Bruins, Sox, &Pats thoughts below:
 |
| Ya, good luck trying to see that puck, goalie. |
1. The Bruins are Incredible
I made a joke comment about the Bruins going undefeated on Facebook.... obviously they cant do that but wow this team looks amazing through 2 games.
-Torrey Krug is emerging as a one of the best offensive defenseman in the league. Through 20 NHL games Krug has 5 goals and 3 assists and his presence on the point during the PP is unmeasurable. Like I said in my season preview, if the Bruins can afford to keep Chara down low in front of the goalie, this PP can dominate.
-Jordan Caron looks like hes not going to let his "last chance with the Bruins" go to waste. While Soderberg has been out due to injury, Caron has capitalized. He buried a really nice pass from Reilly Smith the other night and had a really nice goal that wasn't allowed in the first game. THIS is the reason why the Bruins have hung on to Caron for so long.
-Tuukka has stopped 57/59 shots with a couple highlight-reel saves in there. No one will be surprised if Rask turns in a Vezina-worthy performance this year.
-Bookmark this link: http://thespokedblog.com/
If you are looking for more in-depth Bruins stuff go to this site. It is updated far more often than my website and the guys over at The Spoked Blog know what they are talking about.
2. The Red Sox are also incredible and I suck for predicting them to lose
I predicted the Sox to lose to the Rays in the ALDS but that's not going to happen. The Sox crushed the Rays on Friday and then on Saturday night David Ortiz blasted 2 HRs en route to another win over David Price.
-I brought this idea up last Summer. If David Ortiz leads the Red Sox to another World Series victory, he HAS to be considered one of the best Red Sox players of all time. I'm talking like, Ted Williams status.
-It is AWESOME to have playoff baseball back in Boston. I was at Howl at the Moon on Saturday night.... when Papi hit that 2nd HR the place went CRAZY!!!! I haven't seen a reaction like for a baseball play in at least 5 years.
-In case you missed it, David Price freaked out after the game saying he was upset Ortiz took an extra few seconds at the plate on his 2nd HR. Price is a clown for being upset... Ortiz was standing there to make sure the ball was fair, not to show up Price (as you can see in the video above.) After the game Price then got in a Twitter fight with fans and felt the need to list his accomplishments....Petty shit for Price here after what could be his last game as a Ray.
-Also, an interesting stat I found out that entering this game David Price was the best left-handed pitcher in Fenway Park history. How wild is that????
3. The Pats sucked yesterday
Pats only managed 6 points vs Cincinnati yesterday, which in the first time the didn't score a TD in like 20+ years. Brady's TD tossing streak ends at like 50 games or something like that... 2nd all time to Drew Brees. (I hate to say, Brees got SO MUCH PUB when he was on his streak. I've barely heard any for Brady)
-Bad luck with the sky deciding to open up just in time for a game-tying drive
-Even though the offense sucked, the defense kicked ass again. HUGE turnover by Mayo at the end gave us a chance to win the game. BIG test next week vs Brees and the Saints.
-Aqib Talib is like, a top 5 or 6 corner in the league. Completely shut down AJ Green this week. Pretty sweet to FINALLY have a reliable corner. It will be interesting to see what kind of offer the Pats will make him after this season. He's probably the early favorite for the franchise tag even though I think he has been vocal about not wanting that.
-Amendola came back but wasn't completely healthy, this offense is desperate for the return of Gronk, hopefully next week. The undefeated Saints are coming to Foxboro and they actually know how to play defense now so it is going to be a really good game.
October 3, 2013
BBBBBBruins are back! 2013 prediction here
The Bruins 2013-14 campaign kicks off tonight vs. the Lightning and I am DAMN excited for the season to start. Last year we were robbed of hockey in the Fall due to the lockout, but this year we have a full 82 game schedule to look forward to.
In the Summer I went over in detail how our two new featured acquisitions will be used and what type of impact they will have. Jarome Iginla is starting a season outside of Calgary for the first time ever, and playing with Lucic and Krejci has to be exciting for him. Loui Ericksson is slotted to play w/ Mr. Bruin, Patrice Bergeron, and Brad Marchand.
Briefly, here are the main things I am looking for this season:
-Improved PP. Obviously this has been the Bruins Achille’s heel for a long time now, since the departure of Marc Savard, but FINALLY it looks like the Bruins PP may actually be an asset this year. Iginla has looked great on the PP unit this pre-season, and with the addition of the young D men the possibilities are endless. Having their shots on the point free up Chara to finally be able to stand in front of the net during the man advantage. I’m a big proponent of this… Chara in front of the net is an enormous distraction for the opposing team and goalie. He can’t be moved.
-Young D men. Bartkowski and Krug look to continue on the success they had in the playoffs last year, while Hamilton looks to take his game to the bnext level. All 3 of these guys made the team but it seems like each night one of them will be forced to sit. Hopefully 1 if not 2 of these guys emerge as “must-starts.” Quality D man depth is a good problem to have
-Tuukka Rask. The guy has pretty much proven all the doubters wrong… now I want to see him win a Vezina. He certainly has a shot if he stays healthy. I don’t think just because he got paid he is less focused.
-Absence of Seguin and Horton- I really don’t think the Bruins will miss Seguin’s speed or anything else about his game, really. They aren’t the type of team that features skilled players like Seguin. The only area I feel like the Bruins will miss him is in the shoot out. For Horton, we will certainly miss his big time goals. I'm not too worried about his production being replaced... but it does suck not having this guy on the team.
-3rd line. The 3rd line last year sucked all year. Even going into the playoffs no one really knew who was going to be playing. It looks like Chris Kelly will be centering Carl Soderberg and Reilly Smith.
Who IS Reilly Smith you ask?
He’s a second year pro we acquired from Dallas last year. Here is what Claude Julien says about him:
““He’s very smart,” Chiarelli said. “He makes good plays in small spaces. He’s got a real good shot. For me, I’m still evaluating. I haven’t seen a lot of him. I saw him a couple times in college. I didn’t see him live in Dallas. Our guys scouted Dallas quite closely last year. Very good stick on the wrong side. He picks pucks very well. Very good on the wall. He’s not the biggest guy, but I think he plays with an edge. He’s got a lot of the things we like.””
And we all know who Carl Soderberg is. The one eyed Swede. A gifted scorer that has been playing in across seas for years. He had a cup of coffee with the Bruins in the playoffs but ultimately his style of play is too risky to deal with in the playoffs. I’d bet Soderberg ends up with 15-20 goals on the 3rd line this year, which the Bruins would have to be happy about.
-David Krejci got awarded the “A” to split with Kelly this year… A classic case of someone who leads by example on the ice. He’s quiet but dedicated and it would be wise for our younger guys to watch this guy work. Well deserved.
My official prediction is that the Bruins win the Cup this year. I don’t see any team knocking them off within the Conference (keep in mind the Red Wings are our rivals now) and frankly I think this year’s squad is more talented than last years. Combine that with one more year of deep playoff experience for all the guys on the team and it adds up to a Stanley Cup parade if you ask me.
Enjoy the season everyone. It could be one to remember for a long time.
Trade Review: Decker/Sproles/NE DEF for Demaryius/MJD/Blackmon
Team Ice Cream gets: Demaryius Thomas, Maurice Jones-Drew, and Justin Blackmon
Angry Pirates gets: Eric Decker, Darren Sproles, New England Defense/Special Teams
Big trade here. I think the easiest way to break it down is my personal guess on the remaining value of all these studs.
Demaryius Thomas- Top 5 weekly WR option. Locked and loaded WR1 with upside
Darren Sproles- Rock solid PPR option. He's a low end RB1 on an explosive offense
Eric Decker- Locked in WR2. There will be a few duds but for the most part Decker is a very safe option w significant upside
Maurice Jones-Drew- Disappointment thus far, and stuck in a gross offense. Will still produce as a low end RB2/ flex the rest of the way.
Justin Blackmon- WR3. Coming off suspension who knows what to expect, but Blackmon will demand targets and produce value at some point. If he wasn't a Jag he would be a legit WR2 with upside.(Josh Gordon esque)
New England Def- Whatever. They are solid but nothing special.
Overall I think the trade was pretty fair. Adam probably got the better end of the deal because he got the best player- Thomas- but Sproles is a nice take for Campbell and will solidify his RB squad. Campbell has some other nice WR options so I think this trade benefited both teams. Adam improved his starting lineup and Campbell addressed a need on his team. Nice work guys.
Adams scary ass W/R squad:
WRs: Thomas, Fitzgerald, Garcon, Stevie J, Blackmon
RBs: Charles, Bush, MJD, Bell, Bell
Dangerous. Thankfully only 5 of these guys can play each week!
Obligatory Red Sox post (Predictions included)
The Indians lost to the Rays in the AL Wildcard game last night which means the Sox and Tampa will kick off a 5 game series tomorrow night in Fenway.
Game 1: (Friday afternoon in Boston) Jon Lester vs Matt Moore
Game 2: (Saturday night in Boston) John Lackey vs David Price
Game 3: (Monday in Tampa) Clay Buchholz vs TBD
Game 4: (Tuesday in Tampa) Jake Peavy vs TBD
Game 5: (Thursday in Boston) Jon Lester vs TBD
This season the Sox are 12-7 vs the Rays
This is the first time the Sox have made the playoffs since 2010, where they were swept away by the Angels
The last Sox playoff win was in the ALCS on October 18, 2008 vs the Rays. That was 1,811 days ago. To put that in perspective for people who know me well... I stated dating Ms. NWOTB about a month after that game.
The Rays eliminated the Sox in 2008 in Game 7 of the ALCS. Jon Lester started the game for the Sox that night. David Price was a rookie and earned the save. He struck out JD Drew in the bottom of the 8th with the bases loaded to essentially end the game.
This year the Rays received dominating pitching from Price, Alex Cobb, and Matt Moore. Jeremy Hellickson is also a quality pitcher that can eat up innings for the Rays
Here's how America thinks the series will go:
Here are the current Vegas odds to win the World Series:
Red Sox 3/1 (Started the season at 28/1)
Dodgers 4/1 (Started the season at 12/1)
Tigers 5/1 (Started the season at 8/1 as the league favorite)
Cardinals 5/1 (Started the season at 20/1)
A's 8/1 (Started the season at 18/1)
Rays 8/1 (Started the season at 25/1)
Braves 9/1 (Started the season at 16/1)
Pirates 12/1 (Started the season at 40/1)
My honest gut feeling is that the Sox lose to the Rays. The Rays are dangerous, have better starting pitching, and just seem to have the Sox number over the past few years or so. The Red Sox have obviously had a nice season- no one expected them to be a playoff team- but the magic will end vs the Rays.
Predictions:
Rays over Sox in 5 games
Tigers over A's in 4 games
Pirates over Cardinals in 5 games
Dodgers over Braves in 4 games
Tigers over Rays in the ALCS
Dodgers over Pirates in the NLCS
Tigers over Dodgers in the World Series.
The Tigers are too good. They have the best lineup, tons of experience, a great starting rotation, and a fairly deep bullpen. They got swept out of the World Series last year but I think they ca go the distance this time around. I'm rooting for the Sox first, the Pirates second, and after that I could care less.
Also, Here are all the World Series Winners and Losers since I started really caring about and understaing sports. Around age 9. (click the picture to zoom in)
Go baseball.

Dirty D Week 5 Power Ranks
Rainbow and Sparkles Edition (for Abe)
Last week I was too "mean" in my power ranks for some people. This week I'm going to keep it nice and fluffy so no one's feelings are hurt.
1. Team Ice Cream (Last Week: 3rd)
Ding Dong! that's the Le'veon Bell. Another RB for Adam to dangle. Ended up w a Tie last week and acquired Larry Fitz/ Joique Bell. Darren Sproles coming out party. Most points in the league. Looking forward to our matchup this week.
2. Eat More Chicken (Last Week: 1st)
Monster effort from the Cows here. Jason Witten was the lowest scorer at 9 points. No one wants to play this team right now. Apparently Andre Johnson just cant be stopped even if he is injured and facing the leagues best pass D.
3. Tahiti Loungers (Last Week: 2nd)
Actually last week I was criticized for "shitting on" every other team except my own which I apparently only had praise for. So let me make amends and just trash on this shitty roster for a minute. 8 points combined from the 2 RBs? Joke. I should have known both Reece and Spiller would leave their games with injuries. This team obviously blows, it's impossible to have a good fantasy team when you have shitty RBs. Brees and Graham got lucky this week, that probably wont happen again. Kenbrell Thompkins? Sucks. He can't catch and so that means he's a terrible fantasy option. Jordy Nelson was on a bye this past week but his 0 points are still unacceptable. Brandon Marshall has only 26 points in the 2 weeks since I acquired him... washed up. Guy cant play anymore. Trade rape city. Also, Brian Hartline, Andre Ellington, Coby Fleener, Montee Ball, Greg Jennings and Andre Brown all suck horribly and should probably be dropped.
4. Boston Patriots (Last Week: 4th)
109 points isn't necessarily the best week ever, but I applaud the Boston Patriots on their effort. The important thing is that everyone had fun... LeSean McCoy and Matt Stafford have been having a lot of fun all year.. the fun continues this week with comeback story on the schedule.
5. A Pinch Better (Last Week: 5th)
YAY! Roddy White played most all of the snaps! He's going to be back soon! There's three reasons why I didn't drop Sean in the ranks this week. 1 is that Foster got most all of the carries for the Texans and if that trend continues, look out world. Also DeMarco Murray continues his asasult on the league this year with another nice effort. The 2nd reason is that Aaron Rodgers and Jermicahel Finley were on bye so I give a pass to sean on the 26 combined points from the QB and TE this week. The 3rd and most important reason why I didn't drop Sean in the ranks is because that is just too mean. The kid just lost, dropped to 1-3, I think the last thing he needs mentally is to drop in my power ranks.
6. Dr. Victorious Secret (Last Week: 7th)
Peyton Manning is dominating the NFL... Kait is going to be a weekly threat to drop 150 as long as Manning is in her lineup. 76 (over half) of Kait's points this week came from her Denver trio (Manning/Welker/Denver D) en route to a victory over Dan. Gronk coming back is gravy for this team.
7. The Crossing Guards (Last Week: 8th)
AutoBill is on the board in 2013! See! Computers can have fun too. A very nice bounce back week for Bill after 2 tough battles. Torrey Smith finally found paydirt this week and the TE decision of Clay over VD turned out to be a very good one. Good job good effort Auto Bill.
Paul scored 120% higher in week 4 than he did in week 3. He went from 73 points scored all the way up to 163 points scored. Matt Ryan, Frank Gore, Victor Cruz and Jacquizz Rodgers all put up their best efforts of 2013 in Week 4. I expect a few more weeks like this sprinkled throughout Paul's season... clearly this team has blow up potential.
9. the rental guys (Last Week: 6th)
Jordan Cameron is a stud and he's here to stay. Seriously, the guy has to be regarded as the 2nd best TE option weekly. Right now for the rest of the season I would take Cameron over Gronk. Another stud: Julio Jones... basically hes unstoppable, especially when hes partner Roddy is banged up. Dan is 1-3 but has never missed the playoffs so maybe a mini-run is on tap?
10. The Godfather (Last Week: 9th)
Last week Abe turned Fitz/J Bell/R Mathews into Colston/Moreno/Pierce after a couple trades. I like the end result. Even though he lost, Week 4 was going to be tough for Abe to win anyway with Lacy and Olson on a bye. The important thing here is that Abe had fun playing fantasy football this weekend... that's what its all about. Having fun. Everyone wins if everyone has fun.
11. Angry Pirates (Last Week: 10th)
Did you see that AP run?! WOW! and Demaryius Thomas... WOW! So many positive things to talk about here! Campbell isn't a bunny at all!
12. Comeback Story (Last Week: 12th)
Everyone thought Tony Gonzalez was dead. Apparently he isn't.
Weeks 1-3: 11 catches, 93 yards, 1 TD
Week 4: 12 catches, 149 yards, 2 TDs
It was actually the most yardage T Gonz has ever gained in 1 game in his entire career. Too bad he is going on BYE in week 5, though. Another positive for Donny is that Tom Brady actually looked like Tom Brady this week... with a growing rapport with the rookie WRs and Gronk coming back... Brady will be the golden boy again soon and maybe I'll bump Donny up out of the cellar.
I hope everyone had FUN reading the power ranks this week!
