GO!

 

[JohnnyU]

I need 26 pts from Henderson. My playoff hopes are on the line in a 14 team league. Hey, there's a chance

 

[Dizzy]

Almost half my line-up playing tonight (Dart, Hendo, and Diggs) and needing a combined 20 pts. Feeling good about getting the win, but hoping for fireworks in a high-scoring game.

NEP 34, NYG 28

 

[Rubi]

Dart makes this a watchable game
Giants defense has been a major disappointment this year
Patriots should be able to control the tempo of the game on offense and win t.o.p. by a hefty margin
Home team is in control all night
Maybe Dart throws a late touchdown to cover
I'll say...

Patriots- 30

G-Men- 23

National Football Conference

East
Philly 8-4
Dallas 6-5-1

North
Chicago 9-3
GreenBay 8-3-1
Detroit 7-5

South
Tampa Bay 7-5
Carolins 7-6

West
LA Rams 9-3
Seattle 9-3
San Fran 9-4

10 teams, 7 spots, a couple of good football teams are going to miss the Playoffs
The Bears schedule is brutal the rest of the way
The North could easily end up Chicago 11-6, Green Bay 10-6-1, Detroit 10-7...
Bucs will likely take the North even with a split against Carolina, rest of the game are fairly easy, they should end up 11-6, host a Playoff game, Panthers will finish 9-8
The West could see the LA Rams 13-4, Seattle 12-5, San Fran 11-6 and all three teams make the Playoffs
Last spot will come down to Green Bay, Detroit and Dallas as Philly will do enough to win the East.

I need 26 pts from Henderson. My plaoff hopes are on the line in a 14 team league. Hey, there's a chance

I need him to stay at 25 or under with the exact same stakes.

I would say "good luck" but I don't want to lie.

It’s a pipe dream for me anyway. I won’t be upset if he doesn’t score enough for me.

Oh but I'm totally convinced he'll go north of 30. Full ppr?

O.75 ppr for RBs. He has to score 2 TDs, have over 100 yards rushing and have 3 or 4 receptions at minimal yardage. Or score 3 TDs to make it more comfortable. I wish Stevenson wasn’t playing.

Crikey. I wish there was a way we could both win, but I don't think that exists.

Good . . . coping?

I never get upset about fantasy football. Never. Now real life football is another story.

Teach me your ways. The drywall in my living room is very nervous. So is my phone. My laptop. My aorta.

The reason I don’t get upset is because I have my share of winning and expect my share of losing. I almost always make the playoffs (except in my 14 team league) and know that winning it all carries a certain amount of luck. It takes more skill to make the playoffs than it does winning the championship. The longer you play the more you just roll with the punches.

 

[travdogg]

I think this is a statement game from NE, especially after a lot of other top teams lost. I don't think they are gonna get snuck up on. I think the Giants offense is gonna have trouble moving the ball, and I think the Patriots will move the ball pretty easily, give or take a few sacks due to banged up OL (I honestly think LG will better, but LT will be much worse) I think NE focuses more on quick hitters and getting Maye on the move this week. I think Maye has a nice game, while keeping Henry involved, and getting a bounce back week from Diggs. I also like Henderson in the quick/screen game.

Patriots-38
Giants-10

Side note, I have a long-standing league (since 2010) and I have a chance to set the single week record for most points scored this week. I need 34 points from Maye+Henderson, I kinda like (over 50%) my chances.

My lineup was:
QB-Maye
RB-Bijan
RB-Swift
WR-Rice
WR-AJ Brown
WR-Jameson Williams
TE-McBride
Flex-Henderson
K-Myers
D-Seattle

 

[elbowrm]

I could use 56.4 points from Maye and Diggs to stay in first place. One time?

 

[Wrigley]

I need 4 TDs from Maye

 

[Harry Frogfish]

Is the topic "what do you need"? No offense at all, I'm just asking, but who in the world legitimately cares about what Jaxon Dart throwing a TD will mean to the Des Moines Destroyers tonight?

Will you actually be thinking or openly rooting for all these scenarios?

 

[kyoun1e]

NE is so due for a bad loss. Still think they pull it out, but I'll say NYGs cover and make them sweat.

NE 27, NYG 23

 

[Insein]

Just need 27 points from Maye, Theo and Pats D. An average night for all of them should get it done.

That's why I'm nervous. This whole week has been anything but average.

The Patriots will face adversity in their “Monday Night Football” showdown with the Giants. Phil Perry assesses the matchup in his Week 13 preview.

[Runkle]

Have Maye in one league, up against him in another. Both are must-win to keep the season(s) alive.

I need:

Maye+Diggs+Borregales to outscore WanDale by 5 in full PPR.

Diggs+Borregales to not get outscored by Maye+Pats DST by more than 40 in half-PPR.

Both are projected to be OK, but, it does leave me wondering why I do this to myself.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Eli Manning talking about the David Tyree catch while throwing his OL Chris Snee under the bus.

That's kind of uncool.

 

[Boston]

Pats left-side of the O-line is out and both Milton Williams and Tonga are out...gives the Giants a couple of areas to attack...for the Pats it is all about getting a win and getting to their bye where they can get some rest...doesn't matter how ugly.

 

[Dez]

So in 1 league I am up 15.9 pts vs Diggs if I win I make playoffs
In another league I have Henderson + 20 pts vs Maye and W-Robinson if I win I make playoffs
In another league I am down 40 with Maye, Henderson and Diggs vs W-Robinson and Henry

So 2 things are clear I root for Henderson and against W-Robinson but what the heck do I do about Maye and Diggs ?

Brutal

 

[The Frankman]

great. wonderful start for the Giants Special Teams...

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

If Diggs has less than 10 PPR points tonight my playoff hopes are alive in my home league.


I know, I know,



Anyway, RS getting some love tonight. I’m sure Hendo owners already writing their sternly worded letters to the Pats front office.

 

[The Frankman]

The one good thing going for the Giants is they have Adebo and Holland back in the secondary.

the bad thing is no Thibodeaux and Abdul Carter isn't out there.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Kinda feels like a W would be an L for the Giants, since they’re playing for draft picks right now.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

How does Hendo not beat 1 on 1 to the stripe right there?

Oh - thrown behind him. Never mind.

 

[The Frankman]

Nice hold by the D limiting them to 3. Give Dart and the O a chance to breathe.

 

[boilerdave]

Over - Under on how many times they mention Eli and the Giants beating the Patriots in 2 Super Bowls?
It's definitely an accomplishment worth mentioning.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Tommy DeVito, backup Nate.

It’s a solid schtick.

 

[Lansdowne]

Second week in a row that an outlet pass near the goal line from Maye to Hendo didn’t end in a TD. Lost me my matchup last week and losing me this week so far. Just my luck!

 

[Boston]

Dart's necklace is not a subtle one.

 

[Lehigh98]

Dart sign a sponsorship deal with cubic zirconia?

 

[boilerdave]

Eli Manning talking about the David Tyree catch while throwing his OL Chris Snee under the bus.

That's kind of uncool.

I bet Snee got a chuckle out of the mention..

 

[Chaka]

Dart's necklace is not a subtle one.

He probably bought it at OBJ's yard sale.

 

[Hu-Tang Clan]

Dart's necklace is not a subtle one.

He probably bought it at OBJ's yard sale.

Maybe Peyton will ask OBJ on the Manningcast about that later tonight.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I mean, if he can’t take a hit, he shouldn’t be playing. Cmon Joe Buck. You know this, maaaaaan.

 

[Boston]

Marcus Jones is having one hell of a year.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Is it wrong to wish for a very minor concussion to knock Diggs out of the game? It’s just his brain, it’s not like he uses it much.

Just kidding, I’ll just hope for more stuff like that KRTD so the Pats offense just runs it out all night.

 

[The Frankman]

Feel like it's the first time some of you are seeing Jaxson Dart. He's worn a chain during most of his games, you can see it on him in post game interviews on the field.

Oh I’ve seen it. It’s preposterously large.

 

[Boston]

Word is Abdul Carter got benched for the beginning of the game for watching porn without his headphones connected during a defensive meeting.

Troy Aikman: "For Giants fans that 2012 Super Bowl probably feels like a lifetime ago."



Jerry Jones to the white courtesy phone. Mr. Jerry Jones, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

 

[crushedspirit]

Dart is Kirko Chainz 2.0

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

I bet Snee got a chuckle out of the mention.

Maybe. It just seemed odd that Manning would make a point of Snee not blocking anyone, and just kind of standing around while Manning was running for his life.

 

[The Frankman]

if the Giants are goign to get the passing game going they gotta get the ball the Hodgins and Theo Johnson. Those two have gotten some huge gains--

HOLY ****


WE PLAYING THE FEUD
