I have Pitt (v. StL) and TB (v. SF)............I am currently leaning towards Tampa.
I have Seattle Def and just noticed that TB is on our waiver wire and am thinking about picking them up and playing them instead of Seattle.
...and you were on the same boat with us in regards to TB D/ST being a lock for the fantasy playoffs! The TB D/ST was THE reason I won two of my semifinal games.Shoulda been me, except I'm now in the consolation game after playing MN instead of TB last week.
I did the same thing at about the same time for exactly the same reasonsNi
Tampa Bay is in for a HUGE upset vs. SF this week. Everything lines up perfectly for them to have a big let down and play poorly:1) They are coming off a joke win so they are overconfident2) SF offense is playing lights out with Hill at QB3) Bucs have to travel all the way across the country to SF for this game4) Nationally televised home game for SF will have the fans and team whipped into a frenzySF completely shut down ADP. They'll have a much easier time doing the same thing to Graham (expect 12 carries for -1 yards and 0 TDs). TB will get beat in this game 24-10.As for the Packers, they have the single greatest defensive match-up in the history of FF. Chicago starting Orton tells the team that it is intentionally not fielding its best players or doing everything it can to win. They have given up at every level of their organization. If the Vikings didn't keep turning the ball over to CHI last week, they would have been shut out and lost about 40-0. The Packers will not make the same QB mistakes Minnesota did because Favre is the greatest QB the world will ever know. The Packers should have at least 8 sacks, 5 turnovers, and 2 D/ST scores this week. It is very likely that the Bears will not record a first down, and they have no chance of scoring. Anyone starting the Packers defense this week is guaranteed a championship.
I am in the same boat and considering the same thing. I do have Jax though so I do have that option, though I think TB could be even better than Jax this week.
SF has had the worst offense for 15 weeks now and you expect them to turn it around in a meaningless game for them? SF only averages 242 yards a game, 13.6 pts a game, and TOP is 27:10 (worst in the league) Not to mention that they have the second highest turnover rate in the league -13 (Baltimore ranks 1st -18) The only reason SF has motivation to win this game is to keep NE from getting a higher draft pick (one is an NFC team and the other an AFC, so what does it really matter to the 49ers). Go with the Bucs and feel very confident.
I agree that TB is a great start against San Francisco, and I don't buy that they are in for a letdown; having said that, if I had Green Bay DST also, I would start them against the Bears without a second thoughtNiSF has had the worst offense for 15 weeks now and you expect them to turn it around in a meaningless game for them?

1) They are coming off a joke win so they are overconfident
2) SF offense is playing lights out with Hill at QB
3) Bucs have to travel all the way across the country to SF for this game
4) Nationally televised home game for SF will have the fans and team whipped into a frenzy
SF completely shut down ADP. They'll have a much easier time doing the same thing to Graham (expect 12 carries for -1 yards and 0 TDs). TB will get beat in this game 24-10.

How? when my other option is NE vs Mia.... although I've got Atl on the bench and I'm thinking about it...
Ok...I'm convinced. Heck with privacy issues....There SHOULD be random drug tests for posters on this board..H.K. said:Tampa Bay is in for a HUGE upset vs. SF this week.

I know. I folded like a house of cards when seeing MN ranked #3 all week and TB ranked from 9-12. I questioned it all week on the site, but never got any answers. Made the change at the last minute, and would've won by 3 points had I kept TB in the lineup, even with Romo and Addai stinking up the joint.One word of caution. This is a game of emotion. TB was pissed last week after losing the week before and knew they would lock up the division with a win. This week, they may not be so fired up, as the champagne has already flowed. Also saw where their record the last 6 games when traveling to the West Coast is horrible. I wouldn't be surprised if the D had less than a dominating performance this week....and you were on the same boat with us in regards to TB D/ST being a lock for the fantasy playoffs! The TB D/ST was THE reason I won two of my semifinal games.Shoulda been me, except I'm now in the consolation game after playing MN instead of TB last week.
If it weren't for TB Defense scoring me 28 pts last week, while my opponent's SEA defense scored him a big fat ZERO, I woudn't be in the championship game.Food for thought, Football nerd.
Well this was an experiment that went down in flames. TB got me 11 pts. 11! After last week's 45! Unreal. Week of disastrous choices for me: TB over CHI, Brady over Big Ben, Anthony Gonzalez over Stecker = down by 40 pts going into MNF (opponent still has Marshall left to play, I have Keading and Scheffler). It's over. Christ.
I am with you too, played TB over Chi also but up by 21 right now with S. Young or Henry going tonight and he has LT2 and Marshall. If I had played Chi would have a 35 point lead.
Hell, I thought I had two gold, cant miss defenses with TB and GB...GB got me -1 point....TB would have given me 4 points.
Im not making the same mistake 2 weeks in a row (now watch MIN def outscore TB def)
