By Dalton Del Don Marvin Lewis’ decision to kick a field goal down 20-7 with 6:47 left last Thursday was beyond perplexing (still down two scores!), compounded by the fact it meant Pittsburgh was no longer covering the 11-point spread. Thankfully, the Steelers drove back down the field and scored a touchdown, righting what looked…

By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 7-9, bringing my season total to 82-73-5. I lost my best bet (Chiefs), which was especially frustrating for two reasons: 1) the way that game played out and 2) I basically flipped a coin between KC and Tennessee, and the Titans easily covered. I’m now 7-2-2 on…

Week 12 edition.

By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 8-6, bringing my season total to 75-64-5. My best bet record improved to 7-1-2 when the Titans covered, and most importantly, I’ve moved ahead of Chris Liss in the RotoWire Staff Picks column, which infuriates him to no end. This week, I’m not all that confident –…

By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 9-5, bringing my season total to 67-58-5. My best bet, the Steelers, won easily, bringing my total there to 6-1-2. For what it’s worth, the teams I feel the most confident about this week are: the Dolphins, the Packers and the Steelers. As for my best bet,…

By Dalton Del Don Trent Edwards has no doubt improved this season, and his peripherals are elite (68.0 completion percentage, 7.8 YPA), but a 6:9 TD:turnover ratio reveals there’s still plenty of work to do…It would be nice if the running game helped, as Marshawn Lynch continues to really disappoint. At least he’s much more…

Week 10 edition.

I participated in a midseason league last week, and here’s a write up with the details and also a link to the results. It’s fairly interesting to see how some players’ values have changed so much.

By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 6-6-2, bringing my season total to 58-53-5. It was especially annoying because I was 5-2-2 after the morning games, and that includes a ridiculous loss in the Falcons game because of a) a blown call b) no challenges left c) 20 seconds away from an automatic booth…

Week 9 edition.

By Dalton Del Don The Ravens had high praise for JaMarcus Russell after Sunday’s game, but I’m still not quite sure what to make of him. He gets little help from his receivers, but a 50.3 completion percentage is unacceptable. The jury remains out, and it’s definitely too soon to make a call, but I…
