UPDATE: SIX FALL IN SURVIVOR POOL as Saints and Titans betray the faith our players placed in them. Shumie, Weisman and the Crime Dog are all out, as well as Alan Kaiser, Jason Ireland, and Juan Gonzalez. We bid them adieu.
Fall is in the air, temperatures across the nation as dipping into the low 80s in this era of global warming, and as the baseball season wraps up another regular season, we are all in on football as the Marlins are out of the playoffs.
Last week, in our fantasy football league, we routed our opponent and were on track to score the most points in the league, but like writing an order denying a well pled motion to suppress, Judge De La O ruined our week by managing the top scoring team (172 points to our 165). His "De La Fins" are 2-1 and he is off to a solid start.
Our top pick this week is our hometown Dolphins, playing the hapless Colts, in North Miami (look for Rumpole in one of the suites, sipping a cold one, and having some King Crab legs while enjoying the game). Miami -1.5 to have a big day. The Fins lost a close one in OT last week in Vegas, but what we saw was a team superbly coached, that believes in each other, and does not quit. There are big things ahead for this Dolphin team, mark our words.
Giants at the Big Easy. The Giants stink. They are on the clock for the first pick in the 2022 NFL draft. Saints -7.5 and they will be up by 14 at the half.
KC at Philly. Under 55. Titans at Jets. Under 46.
Panthers at Cowpokes. Sort of, kind of, maybe in a way, beginning to believe that the Cowboys have a decent team. We like the Panthers coach and the job he has done. But the skinny -4 is tempting us to put a few hard earn dollars on the Boys from Dallas.
NEW SURVIROR CHALLENGE- Pick the total number of field goals in the MNF Raiders/Chargers game and get to use of of the teams you have already picked. Players Colby, Freedman, Faber, Tischler and Tibbitt survived a Thursday night scare with the Bengals and are already week four survivors.
