I am having some serious dejavu.SeniorVBDStudent said:Ok, I lost my nerve. Now on third iteration. Let's say you spend $170 on players you project to be in the SB, leaving $80 for players to survive rounds 1-3. Whether that $80 gets spent on 8 players or 18 players is tricky. I have KC playing 3 rounds, and had Mahomes at $40, but this feels really wrong when I can get 3 point producers with that kind of investment.
Based on FBG projections I'm looking at 148.6. If you selected the top 10 QBs playing this weekend you would be looking at 238.7 points.
186.2 is too much?Just made a change to get to 158.2. I think I'll roll the dice there.
186.2 is too much?
So....like the regular season cutoff changes....the name of the game is figuring out how to "barely survive" until endgame. #hopeless.May not be. You have to figure a 1/4 of the people are going to pick two players from as many teams as they can and will be over 200.
Built for Comfort not speed....lol! Having enough at the end is the tricky part especially if you go with the favorites or semi-favorites who all are expensive as all get out! I have stuck to my guns on who I think gets there in the end and really not done too many roster churns this time around, only 1 real Cinderella story team to advance a little ways, otherwise its mostly favorites and I really am worried IF I get there will I have enough of the firepower to finish in the money....Its the challenge of the contest that makes you feel like your some sort of addict....Course there is always the green monster:So....like the regular season cutoff changes....the name of the game is figuring out how to "barely survive" until endgame. #hopeless.
Cold temps are not a big deal. The Bucs game in Florida is actually the only game projected to have wind/rain enough to materially impact the game. I'll be starting Bills with confidence (I have them beating the Rams in the superbowl...which is painful since I"m a Pats fan).With a Saturday forecasted high of 12 at Buffalo, and some wind, don’t you expect conservative play calling that will limit production in that first round game? Particularly with two stout defenses. Would you avoid players on those two teams, even if you were soundly behind Buffalo to advance to the Conference finals?

I try not to bet against BB in the playoffs. I could see the Pats pulling one out in this one. They probably won’t, but they could.It's a concern. Allen has been terrible in cold weather and Mac Jones hasn't been in cold weather since his pregnant mom was visiting relatives up north. That said, the Buffalo pricing is very affordable IMO.
I could easily see BB goal of <10 throws for Mac and a bunch of new wrinkles on D to fluster Allen.I try not to bet against BB in the playoffs. I could see the Pats pulling one out in this one. They probably won’t, but they could.
It took a while, but Allen is beyond all that now. What you will see in Game 3 is pretty much what you saw in Game 2. Allen will use his legs and a variety of receivers to move the ball relentlessly down the field while the defense plays patient and forces Jones into a couple turnovers. Bills 23 Pats 17.I could easily see BB goal of <10 throws for Mac and a bunch of new wrinkles on D to fluster Allen.
ShhhhhOf course if you go all Pittsburgh and Philly players you'll have $130 extra

1- I picked some players on underdog teams, but I am hopeful that they will win (Arizona, SF & Las Vegas)1. Hate throwing away slots on guys that I think will last only 1 week.
2. But I think I need to do it to escape week 1.
3. Disturbed by some of the teams I am completely fading
4. Always a fun challenge

And you still might not make the first week cutOf course if you go all Pittsburgh and Philly players you'll have $130 extra

That's probably directionally correct, but there will be some entries that don't factor this in and still sneak into the SB, at which point they'll have a big advantage.With the cut being 50% each round is anyone changing their strategy to increase the number of players playing during the playoff and limiting the number of players in the super bowl? Said another way, I wonder if it will require fewer players in the super bowl this year to do well based on the 50% cut because teams too top heavy have a greater chance at being cut.

I agree with all those, except Arizona who will beat LA Rams again. How many points would SF be taking on Green Bay in the 2nd round? I am all in on SF and think that the upset of the playoffs could well be them beating the Packers.New England, Dallas, Arizona, Las Vegas, Tennessee....all 1 and done in my forecast.
I agree is quite possible that ARI beats LAR....can you imagine the front office reaction to that after all the money the GM has thrown at this year?I agree with all those, except Arizona who will beat LA Rams again.

You're going to do what now?I've got 14 but once GB and TEN are added next week I'm going to swap out some of my higher salaried players on losing teams this week for cheaper Packers and Titans.
This year seems worse than other years nailing the Super Bowl teams. And if you go with the favorites how do you distinguish your team from others that are going to have the same top players? Not only do you have to get the SB teams right but you have to get that SB $4-6 player right that is going to go off during SB week.I think there are legitimate 7-8 of the playoff teams that could make the Super Bowl. It's been a crazy year and if a team gets a couple of breaks it could be a crazy day in SoFi.
Trying to pick a SB match up that I think few will follow.
18 players and would wind up with 14 in the big game. Just need to hit on my 2 and dones to help me get thru.
There's a bunch of Packer and Titans players I like at value prices. So after this week when someone like Pittsburgh loses I'm going to take the money I invested in D. Johnson and redistribute it to the value plays on bye this week.You're going to do what now?
I think you need to read the rules again.There's a bunch of Packer and Titans players I like at value prices. So after this week when someone like Pittsburgh loses I'm going to take the money I invested in D. Johnson and redistribute it to the value plays on bye this week.
I don't want to give anything away but I'll let you know next week after the Saturday afternoon rooster lockdown.
I think it's a winning strategy that not many people are going to take advantage of. It's worth the extra $ though to upgrade in the contest.
