The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don As someone who had been relying on Darrius Heyward-Bey, then subsequently spent FAAB on Jacoby Ford only to see the latter leave with a serious injury after his first catch Thursday, I wasn’t too pleased. And after replacing Ford, DHB saw plenty of snaps yet not one single target. It’s clear…

By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 6-8, also losing my best. I’m 62-63-5 so far this year. Best bet is 3-5-1. Onto the Week 10 picks: RAIDERS +7 at Chargers (check the comments here) JAGUARS -3 at Colts Broncos +3 at CHIEFS STEELERS -3 at Bengals BILLS +5.5 at Cowboys Saints pick ’em…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don If Felix Jones remains in the mix after returning from injury it would hardly be the first time a coach plays a less deserving veteran over a superior younger player, so a timeshare can’t be ruled out, but I’d have a hard time not treating DeMarco Murray as a top-10 fantasy…

Bet On It
By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 4-8-1, also losing my best bet thanks in part to a missed 31-yard field at the buzzer. I’m 56-55-5 so far this year. Best bet is 3-4-1. Onto the Week 9 picks: DOLPHINS +4 at Chiefs Buccaneers +9 at SAINTS Falcons -7 at COLTS BROWNS +11 at…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don Eli Manning completed 68.9 percent of his passes for 349 yards with a 2:0 TD:INT ratio Sunday, and while it came against a suspect secondary that was dealing with injuries, the numbers could have been much bigger had the Giants not suffered numerous drops on perfectly thrown passes (Hakeem Nicks and…

By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 8-5, also winning my best bet. I’m 52-47-4 so far this year. Best bet is 3-3-1. Onto the Week 8 picks: Saints -14 at RAMS DOLPHINS +10 at Giants Cardinals +13 at RAVENS Vikings +3 at PANTHERS (Best Bet) COLTS +9 at Titans JAGUARS +10 at Texans…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don In one of the worst slates in recent memory, I expected the Falcons vs. Lions to be one of the better matchups in Week 7, but even that ended up being pretty ugly. Matthew Stafford has a 16:4 TD:INT ratio on the year, but while heâs limited turnovers recently, heâs gotten…

By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 7-4-2, also winning my best bet. I’m 44-42-4 so far this year. Best bet is 2-3-1. Onto the Week 7 picks: Chargers -1.5 at JETS (Best Bet) Seahawks +2.5 at BROWNS Falcons +3.5 at LIONS Redskins +2 at PANTHERS BEARS pick ’em vs. Buccaneers Broncos +1 at…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don Pretty crazy to get outscored 24-3 while gaining 25 more yards than their opponent like the Rams did Sunday. With the arrival of Brandon Lloyd (seriously, how ridiculous are NFL trades?), it was especially bad timing for Sam Bradford to suffer a high-ankle sprain…Jermichael Finley could explode at any moment and…

Bet On It
By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 6-7, once again losing my best bet after jumping out to a huge lead (17-0). I’m 37-38-2 so far this year. Best bet is 1-3-1. Onto the Week 6 picks: PANTHERS +3.5 at Falcons 49ers +4 at Lions Colts +7 at BENGALS EAGLES -1 at Redskins Rams…
-
The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don Pregame reports suggested Ben Roethlisberger could barely walk onto the field while the rest of his teammates sprinted on, so naturally, he proceeds to throw five touchdowns against a secondary that had been playing at a very high level. Despite taking a constant beating, I’d give Big Ben about even odds…
-
Bet On It
By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 7-9, although I lost my best bet despite Dallas being up 27-3 in the third quarter and with the ball. I’m 31-31-2 after three weeks. Even Steven like Jerry Seinfeld. Best bet is 1-2-1. Onto the Week 5 picks: Saints -6.5 at PANTHERS EAGLES -2 at Bills…
-
The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don Seriously, how do you blow a 27-3 lead in the third quarter with the ball? With the way Dallas’ defense was playing, it’s safe to say having the offense kneel every play would have resulted in a win, but that’s obviously in hindsight. Tony Romo was unlucky two of his picks…

My Awards Ballot
By Dalton Del Don N.L. MVP 1) Matt Kemp – Close call between Kemp and Braun, with playing center field and in a tougher hitter’s park being the tiebreaker. 2) Ryan Braun – Great season. Awesome player. 3) Joey Votto – A big drop off after the top two. Could have went Justin Upton here,…

Bet On It
By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 11-5, although I lost my best bet. I’m 24-22-2 after three weeks. Best bet is 1-1-1. Onto the Week 4 picks: Lions +1.5 at COWBOYS (Best Bet) Panthers +6.5 at BEARS SAINTS -7 at Jaguars TITANS pick ’em at Browns Bills -3 at BENGALS Vikings -1.5 at…
-
The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don Vernon Davis in Week 3 was the latest example of the squeaky wheel getting the grease. He’ll be fine moving forward, but his situation limits his upside compared to other tight ends like Jermichael Finley and Rob Gronkowski…Liked the thought process of the play call asking Andy Lee to take a…

Bet On It
By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 6-9-1, tying my best bet (thanks to a reality star coming up a yard short). I’m 13-17-2 after two weeks, so not the best start. Onto the Week 3 picks: Jaguars +3.5 at PANTHERS BRONCOS +7 at Titans Texans +4 at SAINTS Lions -3.5 at VIKINGS Giants…
-
The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don What an entertaining Raiders/Bills game, with a whopping five lead changes in the fourth quarter alone. The fact it was clear someone caught the game-ending Hail Mary (just not whom) made it even crazierâ¦Iâm a Ryan Fitzpatrick believer, and itâs hard to argue with his 7:1 TD:INT ratio and 109.6 QB…

Bet On It
By Dalton Del Don Last week I went 7-8-1, winning my best bet in the process. Onto the Week 2 picks: SEAHAWKS +14.5 at Steelers Ravens -5.5 at TITANS Jaguars +9.5 at JETS Cardinals +3.5 at REDSKINS RAIDERS +3.5 at Bills Buccaneers +3 at VIKINGS BEARS +7 at Saints Packers -10.5 at PANTHERS Browns -1.5…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don It wouldn’t be a stretch to say there won’t be a better game all season than the first one, as the Saints and Packers put on quite a show…Aaron Rodgers finished the first quarter 14-of-15 with 188 yards and three touchdowns against a New Orleans secondary that allowed an NFL-low 13…
