Hill looked good at home, but on the road at Mile High is a different animal. Not to mention the Broncos looked good this week against another defense that had been playing well coming into Denver. I don't have that luxury - week 12 is looking pretty rough and I don't have Miami to use as I have already used them. Aside from playing in the tough altitude, I think one major advantage the Saints have is the ability to stop the running game. You essentially force Drew Lock to beat you. Definitely will be a tough challenge for the Saints but I don't have many options to be honest. Rams @ home vs the Niners - even that game isn't easy. G-Men - can't believe they are an option but a road favorite now going against a Burrow-less Bengals team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although I get it. Probably leaning toward Giants because I want to save Seattle for Week 14, but I need to look more into it. Any way you slice it, this week is tough.

In hindsight, probably should have went with NOLA last week so I can use GB this week with Foles looking banged up coming into Lambeau but it is what it is. Week 12 is tough...extra difficult with double picks. Will have some decisions to make. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daethfromabove1979 874 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Seattle has to be saved for week 14 vs Jets. How big do your balls have to be to pick the Giants in week 12 vs Cincy? Cincy is down Burrow and Mixon on offense but can we really trust the Giants on the road (coming off their bye)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OdellBaconJr 65 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 thinking NYG this week as bad as it sounds but road faves off a bye is a good bet and their defense is actually pretty good. CLE I would rather save for week 16 and I do not see any other great options besides maybe saints @ DEN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
einstein2u 494 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 bills vs. chargers - but chargers can score browns vs jets - but can't trust browns rams vs 49ers - hate divisonal games giants vs. bengals - really giants?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CookiesOmNom 47 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 So it's basically down to who I trust best out of Miami, Giants and Browns. 🤮 Browns have decent future value so might try to keep them. Are the Texans an option at all this week on the road to Detroit? Planned to go Miami but now tempted to keep them for next week at home to the Bengals when there might be more certainty around their QB situation or maybe just avoid them altogether. Giants on Thursday off a bye, hmm. Might see how the line moves as the week goes on. I generally prefer an earlier matchup too so I'm not sweating all weekend. Hated waiting til the Monday night a few weeks ago! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
commie1997 0 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 if you have a choice of: Pitt, NWO, SEA, NYG, Clev, Texans this week, who would you pick? I am leaning towards using NWO or SEA There are 13 players left in our pool where 130 started. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Coming off a bye and facing Burrowless Bengals is pretty tasty even of its still the Giants. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Giants D is quite legit and Danny Jones has been playing decently, they have weapons. Cincy is just circling the drain and have little to play for. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daethfromabove1979 874 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Cleveland is the popular pick this week, Mike Glennon will be starting for Jacksonville. Myles Garrett will still be out for Cleveland so that matters. The Browns play the Jets in week 16 so that is something to also keep in mind if you think your pool will go that far. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ludawg23 1,982 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Anyone fading the Giants now that Ryan Finley isn't starting? Brandon Allen is a journeyman but he did have a win last season and believe it or not, he is definitely an upgrade over Ryan Finley. Looks like Zac Taylor is playing for his coaching life based on this move rather than intentionally tank for the remainder of the season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good point about Zac Taylor and playing to keep his job which is true. Other teams like Jets and Jax seem pretty intent on tanking so they’re the teams you want to pick against.

Coprolagnia 115 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) I'm torn between NY and Mia...Giants can move to first in their division with a win, so they have something to play for. And everybody says Mia is tanking but if thats true why are they scoring points? Plus no team wants to lose to their division rival especially at home.

CookiesOmNom 47 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) I was hoping to save NO for week 17 but this is tempting. Line appears to have moved to -14 from what I can see. Still think Giants should win their one, am I better off holding the Saints for later? 13 left. 6 already burned NO Edited November 29, 2020 by CookiesOmNom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GurleyTHIRTY 124 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Miami kinda scares me this week. I have them right now but I think the Jets put up a good fight with Darnold coming back. Saints are probably the safe pick but I really want to save them for week 17. Because if I use them now, There are some garbage options I'm choosing between if I make it all the way to week 17. Like Vikings vs Lions. I think the Browns make the most sense here. They have really good future value but luckily in week 16 when the Browns play the Jets, the Texans also have a great matchup versus the Bengals. I might go with the Giants but it's unlikely. Don't trust them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
