Week 9 in Survivor Pools
Nick Pags, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Nov 2, 2007 |

 |
| The Giants won their sixth straight game overall against the winless Dolphins in
London. Thanks to Brandon Jacobs and the Giant running game, I
improved my record to 8-0 on the year. There are not many options at all this week, so check out who I think you should take as we enter the midway point of the season. |

Vinnie's Pick$ and Pa$$es - Week 9
Vinnie, Caribbean Affiliate
Nov 2, 2007 |

 |
|
My
apologies for the past couple weeks – Vinnie’s been very busy making
money on my other projects, and trying to finance a new land deal.
Returned from Vegas just in time to head to Nashville to pound some
beers with my more boring associates (lawyers and accountants), but at
least it should be an exciting Pats/Colts thriller. |

The Diary of a Fantasy Virgin - Week 8
Tim Davoll, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Oct 30, 2007 |
 |
 |
|
What an interesting week. The height of my bye week pain comes this week with the resting of Tony Romo and T.O.
If these guys won you all those games, you will understand my House of Pain this week. So big losses need to be the kind of largess that makes you chuckle.
That is where we go this week. |

Patience is a virtue. Drew Brees is back. 31 for 39 with 336 yards and 4 TD’s. That is the Drew Brees that owners knew when they drafted him back in August. However, he may not be on those same rosters anymore. |

The Hive - week 10
Gary Chamberlain, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Nov 10, 2007 |
 |
 |
| Welcome back to The Hive. This is the least painful set of bye weeks for most IDP owners, unless you have Demeco Ryans, Adalius Thomas, and my new personal hero David Harris as your 3 LB's, in which case you are completely up a creek. The wires are bare, the home stretch is here, and its time to dominate your IDP matchups. Better late than never, The Hive to the rescue! |

Vinnie's Pick$ and Pa$$es - Week 10
Vinnie, Caribbean Affiliate
Nov 9, 2007 |
 |
 |
|
Well, we’re back on the winning trail. Two EASY wins last week, as Minny and
Pittsburgh
romped. Downside was we were definitely on the wrong side here, and the books got killed on the Cowboys in Sunday night. Vinnie got stuck at a country concert with the bankers in
Nashville
on Sunday, so I missed the Eagles debacle, but I have to say Martina McBride is an excellent performer. |

The Prognosticator - Week 10
Tony Holm, "The Prognosticator"
Nov 9, 2007 |

The Broncos are miserable. How many people thought the Broncos defense was a top three fantasy D this year? I have no doubt that
Jay Cutler will be a solid QB in this league but he also needs someone to throw the ball to.

Start/Bench List Week 10
Ron Anish, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Nov 7, 2007 |

 |
| I wish I was one of the lucky ones who took a chance on Adrian Peterson. The guy is unbelievable. There's a team in one of my leagues that drafted Brian Westbrook, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Tom Brady, Adrian Peterson, and Randy Moss. For the record, he's being fitted for his championship crown as we speak. The last of the bye weeks is upon us. Team depth is important late in the season with injuries piling up. |

Don't forget to check your league rules, it may be that free agency may be ending in a few weeks. Be prepared and make sure that you have the depth that you need to keep your team in line for a playoff spot. |

JL's Week Nine Observations
John Lanfranca, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Nov 6, 2007 |
 |
 |
|
Braylon Edwards not having a huge receiving day in week 9 was definitely a smoking mirror. He dropped two big gainers, one that was a for sure TD. He jumped in the air, perfectly shielding the defender from the ball, but let the ball get too far into his chest and thus dropped the pass in the front of the endzone. |

As of this writing, it will be 2 weeks to Thanksgiving and 6 or so weeks to Christmas.
The Fantasy Football season ends for us at week 14. Oh geez, it’s just happening so fast and the losses are mounting. Where can I go this week? Yeah, it’s just another bye week in loserville

This week, the guys build on their three perfect picks from last week to bring you three more contests you just cannot miss.

So check out this week’s ‘Games to Watch’ from two of your favorite football nerds, Dolfi and Braun. (Their Lambda Lambda Lambda buddies will be so proud…) |

Week 11 in Survivor Pools
Nick Pagliuca, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Nov 16, 2007 |
 |
 |
|
If you’re in a jam and cannot decide who to go with, Brett Favre and Lambeau field is the combination you want to put your trust in. I decided to go with that route and
improved my record to 10-0 on the year thanks to the Packers shutout of the Vikings. A lot of survivor pools got thinner this past weekend with several upsets, including the Saints loss to the Rams. You've made it this far and you can't go home now! Check out who I think you should take this week... |

Ouch, stubbed our toe last week with a 1-2 record. It’s been a while since I had a losing week, so I guess I was due. Who knew Peyton would throw 6 interceptions, Automatic Adam V would miss two field goals, that and the Colt defense would shut out
San Diego
in the second half. Heck, the Colt defense should be crying, not Peyton. Actually, not sure who is whining more, the people who lost $$ on the Colts last week, or Peyton? Hmm…… |

Week Eleven: Playoff Push
Walter Collazo, Fantasy Football Staff Writer

Week eleven should be the week you focus on a playoff run if you haven’t started to already. With three or four weeks left in the fantasy regular season, every game from here on out counts more and you want your team to get hot at the right time. |

Uh-oh. I hope I'm not starting the Start/Bench version of the Madden jinx. Sorry about that, all you

Week Eleven Waiver Wire Pickups
Doug Coutts, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer

It's getting late in the season, and many teams in the NFL are starting to see the writing on the wall. There could be half a dozen new starting quarterbacks by the time Sunday rolls around. Be prepared and stock your roster with as many starters as possible, especially those of you with waiver wire deadlines. You don't want to be caught with a zero next to your starting QB. |

Upset alert! Upset alert! The Rams are no longer winless and the four-game win streak by the Saints is no more. Led by
Steven Jackson, the Rams defeated the Saints on the road, where
New Orleans has been shaky.
Jackson threw a TD, caught 5 balls for 26 yards, and ran for 76 yards and a score. |

| Ed Berliner of The Speeding Bullet Network got some tips from our own Doug Coutts this week. We discussed our All-Turkey Team, Running Back Roulette that several teams are going thru, some waiver wire defenses, hot players that will stay hot, hot players that will cool off, and some players that are simply cold. We also got in our weekly blurb about the Patriots. Check out the discussion at www.speedingbulletnetwork.com |

Hopefully, some of your favorites are on display this Thursday as well. Kick back, have seconds (or thirds), and enjoy the NFL like it's meant to be enjoyed. |

Vinnie - Thanksgiving Week
Vinnie, Caribbean Affiliate
Nov 21, 2007 |

 |
| Ouch – Another rough week for Vinnie – going to have to lay low and avoid the man for the holidays. The
Buffalo
game left a bad taste in my mouth, and it wasn’t just the hot wings. A complete blow out on prime time, the most entertaining part was the referee that sharted in his pants during the first half. And, the Bills played like poop too. |
