N.O./KC-The Saints O is a thing to behold-they churn out an average of 413 yards per game despite the fact their running game is near non-existent. “Don’t talk about the D. Don’t talk about the D”-Saints fans. Let’s talk about the D. “GODDAMN IT!”-Saints fans. It’s a piece of crap that hands out 419 yards per game to opposing O’s. Gulp. Well, at the very least it’s entertaining. Look for the Cooks/Peters match up in the secondary and for rb Charles to break one or two.
Ind/Ten-The Titans are 2-14 on the road. Scratch that-that would be their home record the last two years. How the hell do they sell tickets to their tripe? Yikes! That being typed, if they win today they’ll have put together their first 3 game win streak since 2011. They should give the run game a try-rb Murray is playing well and the Colts give up a half first down each time that someone runs the ball against them. Plus, 11 Colts are ruled out or questionable today. You sneaky buggers out there that do the fantasy should take a look at te Jack Doyle-the fella has 3 TD’s but what’s more impressive is that he’s got 20 grabs on only 23 targets.
Min/Phi-Rook qb Wentz will have to earn his animal crackers today against a Minny D that has 19 sacks and a +11 turnover differential. I’ll wager he gives up his 2nd intercept to outstanding cb Xavier Rhodes. The Eagles may want to steal this game because going forward they have the toughest strength of schedule based on current records. The Vikes passing game gets an upgrade with wr Diggs likely to return.
Cle/Cin-Oh woe is you if you is stuck with this game. What happens when an unwinnable lack of force meets an under-achieving object? We finally get the answer to this via the quotation marks battle of Ohio quotation marks.
Was/Det-The Redacteds started 0-2 and the calls for qb Cousins to be benched were numerous. Now that the team has reeled off 4 straight and he has 7 TD’s and only 3 Ints in that stretch, the soul-less supporters of the club have chosen to grumble to themselves. The Lions have won two squeakers at home and look to grab a third. Qb Chunky Butternubbins has tossed 7 TD’s with nary an intercept. He’ll have to put some points on the board because his team’s D is the same one that gave up 19 consecutive complete passes to something called a Case Keenum last week.
Oak/Jax-Much like this whole “evil clown” thing being a thing, Oakland being undefeated on the road took me by surprise. How did they accomplish that? It’s not Indy or the Saints with the most yards allowed so far this year-it’s Oakland with an average of 444 per game. Neither team can run the ball consistently so both Bortles and Carr should go for 350+ and wr’s Cooper, Crabtree, Hurns and Robinson should all have a bellyful of footballs by the end of this, say, 41-38 whizbang of a game.
Buf/Mia-I larfed myself silly when HC Ryan fired his OC because his D was such a mess. [record scratch] Huh, well would you look here-some team has run off 4 straight wins including a shutout of the Pats. I KNOW NOTHING! On another personal note, I ditched rb Ajayi heading into last week’s games. Woo! is not me. Don’t you think the Billys are going to run the ball down the Fins throat and end up with a W? Even though rb Shady has a hammy issue he’ll still get his.
Bal/NYJ-Qb Flacco’s status was up in the air but I saw a report this morning indicating he was ready to go. Jets HC Bowles benched his guy, Ryan McHarvardface knowing that Monday he wouldn’t have to watch horrible decision-making by the ‘leader’ of his O. Instead he’ll be treated to horrible decision-making by Geno Smith. It’s the little things that make going into work bearable, isn’t it? The many faces of Jets wr Marshall are downcast.
A jaunty hat tip to all those that commented during the early bird special but your work is far from over. Now take a break AND DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!!!

if you have the chance to draft/auction Allen Robinson next season, I really don’t fucking recommend it.
“Why didn’t Marvin Lewis take a timeout?”
Have you never watched a Bengals game, Mr Broadcaster?
Sure it has a few problems, but I love the screen on my new Samsung phone!
If anything, the Cubs need to win the series just so that Bill Murray can ascend to heaven in front of a live, national television audience.
It’s a vicious circle. Win or lose, the body count in Chicago will be substantial.

Agreed. But to be clear, he is a Sox fan.
this “road Saints” thing is actually for reals, eh?

I thought that name was because they let offences drive right over them.
I thought a “road saint” was an orally friendly hitchhiker

I was expecting Josh Huff to trip at the 2-yard line causing a fumble in the endzone and a touchback for the Vikings. Sad and disappoint.
TAKE ANOTHER COUPLE OXY and your wishes all come true!!
8-3 EAGLEA CAUSE WHY THE FUCK NOT
I hate how announcer criticize a “boneheaded” holding penalty as negating a big play when, more often than not, the hold enabled the big play. Someone give me a microphone, a shitty suit, and a million dollar job where I can be criticized by people on the internet for my own terrible opinions.
You want to do a fill-in week of Hippo Thoughts?? About that “millions” though ,, smh
I don’t accept payment in pills. And also don’t want to have to be subjected to the late games
Chiefs WR TD? What fresh hell is this?
That Saints DB was so shocked that Smith would throw it that far downfield that he forgot how to run, and fell over
TOUCH DOWN JOSH HUFF OWNED BY < 0% OF FANTASY OWNERS
Jesus Christ the Ravens are penalty machines.
The NFL injury gods do not think highly of Geno Smith having a decent game
Fitz may be coming in due to leg injury to Geno…
Fitzpicktrick?
Yeah.
Surprise onside trickeration by the ponies…did good?
Holy shit. Skins deserve 10 for that kick.
Former simian overlord agrees with you.

DOINK
Cleveland is basically San Fransisco, but instead of hipsters and gays they have crippling alcoholism and depression.
For those without red zone and with common sense to not watch, coltsdown.
THESE VIAGRA SINGLE PACKS ARE JUST LIKE NFL COACHING RETREADS IN THAT THEY’LL KEEP COMING BACK NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY’VE BONED YOU IN THE PAST

Man, Miami eats the whole bowl of dicks
Oh, smart move, Bengals. Knock out the shitty QB, forcing them to bring in the one QB you can’t stop.
Carson Wentz-a-lot
The Browns and Bungles colours are so similar that it looks like a college spring game, orange versus white. The standard of play also looks like college, now that I think about it
Paul Brown did that on purpose to piss off Modell.
THIS IS
HOYERHOGAN COUNTRYHogan is running wild on Cincy.
take my Survivor Pool down to TWO!!
Hopefully Wentz got all the Bradford out of his system in that quarter.
Sneaking out for a cig. Relying on you guys to give me an update on the 10 turnovers/missed FGs/Butt fumbles in the comments while I am gone
Dear lord the Raven’s defense is hot garbage….

I will be very pissed off if I lose in fantasy to a fucker who started the inactive Jordan Reed at TE.
GENO-DOWN
Repeating from last week…

Think she can still do that while she’s lying on her back? Asking for a friend……
Gotdam! The Jaguars suck
they miss London
Is that Doug Pedersen or Billy Zabka?
How the fuck did the Vikings end up back at the 50? Watching this via red zone is confusing as fuck.
Watching it live is confusing.

There’s a Lady Baltimore joke in there somewhere, I just can’t find it.
Since it’s a Baltimore lady, I’d suggest looking past the crabs.

Vikes-Eagles is on track for 30 turnovers total
That was Alex Smith’s 55th career pass of 40+ yards.
52 of them have traveled fewer than 3 yards in the air.
No idea whether that’s a joke or a real stat, it’s that credible.
Um….. joke.
No more of a joke than me relying on Alex Smith in a two QB league
But how many of them were Pick 6’s?
God, how I love entropy.
GET A ROOM
Has an entire game ever taken place in a single red zone?
Oh Redacteds
-3 for Matt Jones WOO!!!!
Which one of you reprobates greased up the footballs in Philly?

What are you lookin’ at?
