NFL 2017-18 season

Pick Em on the NFL site . . .

Seems my Pick em ability is slightly better then my FF ability this season.  Boasting a 92/53 record in 530th position currently.  10 games out of first.  Maybe I should start backing my weekly picks.

Really enjoying the closeness of it all this season.  Predictions on here show how open it all is.  "Lets go Dallas".

There's 6 I think doing the ESPN pickem (although one guy has dropped out) which is against the spread. Gonna blow my own horn and say I'm leading on there with 81. It's been a strange year for results so uo at 92 is impressive! I'm guessing the nfl is straight up since they hate gambling.

yes, but he took an anti-inflammatory for an injury which unwittingly for him contained a banned substance, not "drugs"

should be snapped up in free agency eg Eagles, Titans etc

Just seen on my facebook that a steelers fan has died after being hit by a cowboys fan at Heinz field.Seems to be quite a few instances of fan violence in and around NFL stadiums.Anyone think that away fan sections will eventually be brought into the game or more alcohol control?

The awakening. Part II.

I've got him in a League. Picked up Starks in a couple too. That's shafted thst idea. Probably.

Thomas Rawls is interesting for tomorrow. Mixed reports on what he'll do. But Pete Carroll said he doesn't have a problem with Rawls getting "quite a few plays" and he'll be mixed-in. Apparently the implication is thst he'll be able to do whatever is required by the coaching staff. They cut C Mike in the week so they must have some confidence in his ability to handle a lot alongside Prosise.

He's 3/1 on one site. 7/4 is the best elsewhere and some have him at 5/4. So I'll be giving him a look at that price. If he's back near where he was there's a decent chance.

Rishard Matthews is quite a nice price at 9/4 (6 in his last 6 games. Playing the Colts this week). Steve Smith interests me at 13/5 for the Ravens although a risk against the Cowboys with Flacco throwing to him (apparently his football life which aired yesterday was brilliant and he's a guy I really like). And Sterling Shepard also at 15/8 against the Bears who seem adequate in slowing down the no. 1 receiver but not quite as good vs the others.

I've also had probably the most random bet I've ever put on this week... Longest field goal treble... Bear with me... The weather in Ohio is meant to be very windy this weekend. 25+mph winds In Cleveland. The Steelers also don't like kicking it. Gone for u42.5 yards there. Now I made a silly assumption that it would also be windy in Cincinnati, looks like it'll be 15mph at most. However neither the Bills or Bengals have a very reliable/well known kicker so went for u44.5 there. Final leg in the treble. If the first to make it in comes on Monday might. The Raider and Texans play in Mexico city which is 7000ft above sea level. So the ball should fly and Janikowski is one of the best in the league, gone for o43.5 there. Worked out around 8/1. So thought I'd throw a few quid at it

There were 11 missed extra points yesterday, a record.

some bad weather and wind, but 11!

Extra points missed: Entire 2011 season: 7 Entire 2012 season: 6 Entire 2013 season: 5 Entire 2014 season: 8

Patriots are 5th team in NFL history – and first since 1983-'98 49ers – to have at least 16 consecutive seasons with .500 or better record.

[TightEnd]

Cowboys have gained 400 or more yards in eight straight games, matching the 2007 Patriots and 2013 Broncos

NFC East is fun, looking like its sendign three teams to the play offs. Giants have won 5 straight, Cowboys 9 straight

He's in no way a guaranteed scorer, but Ladarius Green is available at 5/1 anytime on BillyHills, and less than 2/1 everywhere else. He's been upping his snap count in recent weeks, and apparently a full go tonight, if they run away with it, which is possible i'd imagine they'll try and get him involved in the game even more.

I'm struggling for anything else special for todays games, my treble on my blog is Min v Det- any other result, (either team win by 5 or less) Cowboys win by 1-13 and Ind v Pit u48pts

Cowboys being my best bet of the night with that kind of range, they won't run away with it, but I think they'll keep the redskins generally off the field (as they have done to everyone all season) which will make it hard for them to get the points to outscore the Cowboys, should mean for a lot of passing from the 'Skins as they'll probably have less of the ball. Rob Kelley u17.5 carries was tempting too for the same reason, but he's had o20 in all 3 games he's been the lead back so I gave it a miss.
