Yeah, a giant dump. They love to pounce on ya when you’re off a little. I mean really I’m calling for 3 fantasy points from L.T. and he gets 4. C’mon

It nearly fucking impossible to predict exact yardage or even be close every time. Let alon I’m usually pretty close and every blue moon I get it exact. I’m not fuckin’ psychic.

What I will do to help everyone out and give you the decision on whether or to bench/start is give the fantasy value I think they will put up this week. This should be almost dead on. I did this last year with the entire team value and nailed the exact amount 3 times out of 14. I was close on almost all of them, I only had one game where I was completly off, but those are good odds and hard to do with a 9 man total prediction.

Anyways my precceding predictions will come in yahoo fantasy point totals for the week… this will be a much better format and very useful. I can’t possibly predict Bulger throwing 239 yards this week, but I can give you a damn near exact figure in fantasy value every week.

My system will be yahoo’s system. 6 points a td, 1 point every 20 rushing/recption yards and 1 point every 50 passing yards. I aint doing kickers or DEF… too unpredicatble, especially kickers. I saw some points coming from Scobee this week, so I picked him up.

Has anybody noticed Robbie Gould for CHI is putting up mad kicker points. I’ll have to check to see if hes available in my league, I’ve been slackin in my own league.

Who asked you? And would you like to challange me on predictions this week? I dare ya… I can make you look like an idiot real fast.

Lets recap. I predicted 3 fantasy points for L.T., he got 4… holy shit was I off. I should have been more accurate like when I predicted exactly 62 yards in week 1 from Roniie Brown and he got… well 62 yards.

And yes 98 rushing yards with a 29 yard breakaway run was close. again I challange you to any predictions for the week. You can make as many as you want, and I guarantee you will lose in comparison. Hell, I didn’t even give mine much of a thought other than off the top of my head and I’ve been pretty damn accurate this season.

Again, put your money where your mouth is. I do. I always back myself up. If you can make better predictions of the unknown than me, than you can talk… until then STFU and know who you’re talking too. I’ve forgoten better shit than you’ve ever thought of.

I hate these little pricks that chime in here, just to insult someone and have no frame of reference. that’s like me insulting Dale Earnheart Jr. about his racing ability because he got 3rd place… meanwhile I’ve never driven a stock car in my life.

Put up or shut up dude… I would prefer the latter, I will embarrass you on the predictions. But the challange and the offer is on the table.

Know who I’m talking to? I’m sorry, I guess I didn’t realize that I was talking to the king of fantasy football.

I don’t see why you got so mad. I didn’t say anything to personally attack YOU in that last post. It was about your prediction.

And let me get this straight, a few weeks/months worth of accurate fantasy football predictions and you’re the self-proclaimed Dale Earnhardt Jr. of predictions? Get over yourself.

I would be happy to compete with you on predictions each week. I’ll be sure not to be a “little prick who comes on here to insult you.” We can let the predictions speak for themselves. You can even make the rules so that we have some sort of measurable way to see who is more accurate.

Its ON brother! You asked for it! I warned ya to bow out gracefully, now i will embarass you. (By the way, Ive been playing and predictiong fantasy sports before you were even a thought in your daddy’s nutsack)

Here’s the format. You take 1 WR, 1 RB, & 1 QB… then predict exactly how many points they will put up this week in yahoo fantasy stats. You do a +/- system for deviating from exact. If you predict Manning gets 20 fantasy points, and he gets 25 or 15, then you go - 5 points. You do that for each individual player. There will be 6 total. You will pick any 3 you want. I will also pick any three I want.

You name the 3, then i have to give my predictions first, followed by your predictions. Then I name 3 and you give your predictions first, followed by mine.

The winner is the guy with the highest score closer to zero. Both scores will be negative unless you pick everyone exact, then your score will be zero.

Good luck, you’re on the clock…

Pick 1 QB, WR, & RB thats (STARTING), no injured players or benched players. They have to be 100% go!

Then post their names, I’ll give you my point predictions, then you follow suit.

Oh yeah, one last thing… we can’t pick the same number. If I pick 6, you have to go with 5 or 7 if you also want the 6.

to be continued…

GoHeavy: I just thought of a good way to do a prediction challenge if you’re up for it. Every week, we each predict the amount of yards and touchdowns by any QB, 2 RB, and 2 WR in the league. Then, we also make predictions on the 5 players that the other person chose. That way, we each have predictions on the same 10 players each week.

Then, at the end of the week we see who is off by the least amount of yards and TDs, and that person will win the week. Sound good? If not, let me know what you would want to change. We should probably make a separate thread for this.

Your predictions were off GHF.

But what really matters is…how about them Skins!!!

That game was fucking amamzing dude. I just got home and we started tail gating at noon.

AHow are my predictions off?

I nailed LT! he got a lousy 4 points in a yahoo fantasy league. ZERO TD’s like I predicted. All he did was go over my yardage prediction of 60 with 98, mind you he did have a 30 yard breakaway run… I’d say I had him peggeg only scoring 4 fantasy points is pathetic.

L.T. = Bust
Harrison = Bust

Or like you calling LT and Marvin Harrison a bust when you’ve never played in the NFL?[/quote]

You have a real attitude problem and since I can’t physically tear you a new asshole. I’m going to destroy your pride and damage how intelligent you thought you were.

Harrison… 3 fantasy points = bust!
L.T… 4 fantasy points = bust!

Don’t need to play in the NFL to play fantasy football. I did play 11 years of highschool and midget football… what does that have to do with anything in fantasy.

You’re on the clock… slapnutz!

I like my system better. It leaves less room for error. If you predict 200 yards from 2 running backs and 1 gets 180 and the other 20, well thats not very accurate in my thinking(suppose you thought both were going to get 100) and it leaves to much room for error. I want the exact number of fantasy points. Instead of 200 yards total between two RB’s, I want it like this… LT with 140 -159 yards or 7 fantasy points and however many TD’s you think he will have will be 6 more points. You give your answer for LT in an exact fantasy point total #.

This way every prediction counts an error will add up in overall score.

My problem with that scoring system is that it is not an accurate reflection of the player’s performance on the field. With 59 yards counting the same as 40 in terms of points, those other 19 yards count for nothing, which makes no sense. If we make predictions solely based on the actual amount of yards gained and number of touchdowns, it will take a lot of the luck out of the equation and make it much more skill-based. I know you like predicting the exact amount of yards of players too, so I think the method that I proposed would be a more accurate way of measuring our predictions.

Just think about it, anyone can say “I think so and so will get 10 yahoo points,” but it’s much more difficult to predict their actual yardage and TDs. What I’m saying is, I will be able to predict players’ yardage and TDs from week to week better than you. Not their yahoo points. I know I said you could pick the system, but the yahoo system involves way too much luck in my opinion. I want to take luck out of it as much as possible and make it more about skill, because that way I know I will win. Are you up for that?

At least those REDSKINS kicked ass!

Oh, I didn’t mean you predict the yards/TDs for both RBs and WRs together. You predict each individually still… I just meant that you do that for 2 players at those positions. For example
RB: Westbrook- 71 yds rush, 58 yds rec, 2 TD. RB: LT- 107 yds rush, 26 yds rec, 1 TD… like that. Then you would get a point for every yard you were off by, and 60 points for every TD you were off by. The person closest to zero at the end of the week would win for that week.

AA, I don’t think you couldve picked a better week to be at RFK.

554

Yeah, four weeks (and two great matchups) later and it’s clear that Daunte is not a fantasy QB. I hope the guy eventually recovers his magic, but no one should be waiting around for it.

If D Carr is available in your league, go out and get him (though he is on bye this week). He’s off to a great start.

555

I went ahead and threw out an offer of Lamont Jordan for Larry Johnson. The guy isn’t even playing LJ so I hope he’s a Raiders fan.

If he accepts that deal, he should be thrown in a mental institution. Because he’s clearly nuts.

Speaking of nuts. A guy walks in to the psychiatrist’s office wearing nothing but saran wrap underwear. The doctor takes one look at him and says, “Well, I can clearly see your nuts!”

rimshot

I’m sorry for that.

Bro, i am still on an emotional high, I cant even think about the Giants game yet. I need to calm down some first.

I wish he was man. Frye and Huard are the best QB’s on the waiver. I need droughns to have another solid week next week so I can deal him for a QB.

I couldn’t agree more, but he’s even more nuts for not playing him! We’ll see what happens.

Well, it was a no go on the Lamont Jordan for LJ trade. We went back and forth with a couple of counter offers but we couldn’t get it done. Oh well. It was worth a shot. I just threw it out there for the hell of it to see what would happen. I actually think I’m going to start Jordan this week against San Francisco anyway.

By the way, do you guys generally carry more than 1 defense? I have Pitt. and Philly. Now that Pitt. is over its bye, I’m considering trading or dropping Philly. I really feel like I need more fire power. Although my record is 3-1 and I’m fourth overall in my league, I’m actually 6th or 7th out of 10 in points. The only thing that counts in my league is wins and losses but I barely squeaked out two of my victories and I haven’t even played the top three guys yet. I might try to target another receiver.

What were some of the counter offers for the LJ for LJ trade? If you need more firepower, Larry would do the trick.

I never carry more than one defense if I don’t have to. I pick up an extra D for the bye week and then dump them. It’s like having two kickers. What’s the point. I would rather have the extra roster spot to use for a potential sleeper pick.

Well, I won both games this week. I’m 3-1 in my Yahoo league and 2-2 in my draft league. I’m really starting to feel good about my team. I made a good pickup today I think. Someone picked up Doug Gabriel and dropped Plaxico Burress. So, I picked up Burress and dropped Michael Clayton. I think it’s a nice upgrade. I know Burress has his back issues and his issues in general but I think it’s a definite upgrade over Michael Clayton.

How did everyone else do this week?

I originally offered LJ for LJ straight up. He asked for Jordan, Bledsoe, C. Taylor, Glenn, Chambers, and Coles. That would have left me with Driver and Ward as my receivers, Pennington at QB, and Jackson & Maroney at RB. I was expecting him to ask for alot.

I offered him Jordan, Bledsoe, C. Taylor and his choice of 1 receiver but he wouldn’t take it. He said that he changed his mind and wanted to keep LJ. I then offered him the same deal plus another receiver and he still said no.

I wasn’t worried about giving up too much because there are still some decent FA options available such as Leinart, Carr, Favre, D. Williams, Jones-Drew, Norwood, Barlow, R. Williams, Ma. Robinson, and C. Henry. Not to mention that he didn’t have the roster space for the players he was asking for so he would have had to release some decent players from his own team to make room for the trade.

At least I tried.
