GAABoard Fantasy NFL - Superbowl V - Champion Crowned

[Minder]

Me and you are on Darelle Revis island on our own with the Jets Minder.

I just think the match up swings this the Jets way. They take away Benson with a top 5 run D. Revis takes away Ochocinco, and leave Palmer with nobody to throw it to.

The Jets let Sanchez throw no more than 15-20 times and run it all day. They won't mind thee and outs as they trust the D.

Jets in a close, low scoring game.

Aye two pretty average teams, Bengals O does not do enough. Ochocinco has been bothered by his knee and even at full pelt would have bother with Revis (probably the best CB in the NFL).

Well Lads, week 1 of the playoffs is done and dusted, and we have a leader.

DrinkingHarp -

Jets over Bengals by 5 - Correct Team 2 Points
Patriots over Ravens by 9 - Incorrect Minus 2 points
Cowboys over Eagles by 4 - Correct Team 2 points
Packers over Cardinals by 6 - Incorrect Minus 2 points

Total = Zero

Ceiphas50

Jets by 5 - Correct Team 2 Points
Cowboys by 9 - Correct Team 2 Points
Pats by 2 - Incorrect Minus 2 Points
Cardinals by 5 - Correct Team 2 points

Total = 4


So Ceiphas takes a 4 point lead into the Divisional round next weekend. Same drill again guys, PMs to me before first game of the weekend. Non Pick is minus 2 points.


Saturday January 16th

Arizona Cardinals @ New Orleans Saints  9.30 PM Irish Time

Baltimore Ravens @ Indianapolis Colts 1.30 AM Irish Time

Sunday January 17th

Dallas Cowboys @ Minnesota Vikings 6 PM Irish Time

New York Jets @ San Diego Chargers 9.40 PM Irish Time.


Some right dingers there. New Orleans - Cards could be another shootout, neither secondary would inspire confidence, apart from the odd big play. The Cardinals wouldn't have covered their bed last night.

I have a feeling both Cardinals and Saints 'D' will be better than they have been, so I see the Saints winning by 10, with a couple of turnovers from Warner.

I think number 18 will be the difference in Indy, as he has too many targets. I think the Ravens will keep it tight early, and I expect Rice to run well, but I think Flacco will have to have at least 150 yards through the air in this game, which means he'll be throwing a fair bit from behind. I think the Colts by 13.

Jets will stick it to the Chargers early too, but Revis can't shut down everyone. I expect Gates and LT out of the backfield to catch passes, and I expect Sanchez, like Flacco, to be chasing the game a bit. If the Jets keep it to a game where running will win it for them, they could well do it, but I think the Chargers will enter the 4th up by 10-14 points, and will pick Sanchez off to win it. Chargers by 10

Finally, a toss up. Can Favre have time to hit Rice, Shianko, Berrian et al? Will Peterson run like he did early in the season, or will the trifecta of running backs run all day for the Cowboys and give Romo time to pick apart the Viking's secondary like Warner did in Arizona to the Vikings. I think the latter. Cowboys by 6.

Hi Lads,


Based on the predictions last week...


Drinking Harp was on 0 Points, Ceiphas50 was on 4.

Last week Drinking Harp got another 0 points. 2 correct, 2 incorrect.

Ceiphas got another 4 points via 3 correct and one incorrect.

That gives Ceiphasa a commanding 8 point lead with 3 games to go. Drinking Harps needs results and maybe a correct margin or two to really swing it back his way.

Fixtures this week.

NFC Conference Championship Game

Minnesota Vikings @ New Orleans Saints

AFC Conference Championship Game

New York Jets @ Indianapolis Colts


Picks to be in before kickoff for the first game.
