I somehow managed to pull off a victory this week with an even smaller margin than last week's defeat. 0.40 points between me and Zach. I guess I have the Tampa Bay defense to thank (or Vincent Jackson for sucking).

Brian and I are slated to have a pretty even match this week!


Anyway, footbaw. Colts did absolutely God awful on Sunday and I am really hoping they do not have a repeat performance tonight. There's really not a whole lot to say about last Sunday other than the exceptionally bad special teams play on the part of the Colts. As people probably heard on TV, the crowd was livid each time the kickoff returner (I think it was Brazil) took the ball out of the endzone. Holy shit. If you cannot get more than 10 yards EVERY time you field a kick then just take a knee for the touchback, there is no shame in doing this. If it wasn't for three god damn redzone turnovers and two special team touchdowns then the Colts would have actually kept it close if not flat out won. Don't get me wrong, the Colts played awfully, but I don't think it's time to bulldoze Lucas Oil and turn it into downtown parking.

If the Colts win tonight they will have practically clinched the division so they need to treat this as a must win. I am not expecting a stellar offensive performance on our part but the Titans offense is pretty bad and I think we can win a war of attrition against them as long as we don't give up big plays. The Titans don't have any huge offensive weapons plus they're starting QB Ryan "Harvard Grad" Fitzpatrick so I imagine most of the plays on their part are going to be Chris Johnson runs. We're going to have a bunch of shitty dropped passes on our end but I'm predicting Vinatieri will have a big day.

19-10 Colts.

Hmmmmm... I will default to one of the three Fs on this:

1) Five dollars
2) Food
3) Favors (the non-sexy kind)

Do any of those sound good to you?

Well, I was asking what we could celebrate and/or bet on before we chose the stakes.

Welp I suppose we could bet on who wins straight up unless you really wanted to be on like who has the better WR performance or DEF performance or whatevs.

We can over/under someone's score!

Like we can bet to see if you will actually perform worse or better than your projected points!

That was mostly a joke because 85% of my mental image of you is turning things into an over/under bet.

But if I was going to take an over/under, I would bet on whether that d-bag Tom Brady performs up to his projections. I've decided to leave him on the bench this week even though I would have won two weeks ago had I played him.

How about this...

$1 on my team winning.
$1 on the over of Brady's current projection of 16.07. He'll probably beat that and whatever Wilson gets just to spite me.

$5 is too rich for my blood unless we're talking Salty Bucks.

I am an idiot living in the past.

I took a look at our matchup for this week and I have Fleener as my TE. So of course he has a score since the Colts played last night (and he politely nearly doubled his projected score for me). Then I noticed you have Manning on your team and I briefly wondered why he didn't have a score posted. And then I was like, "BECAUSE HE DOESN'T PLAY FOR THAT TEAM ANY MORE, YOU DOLT!"

lolololololol yesh he is a Broncos-man now. I debated whether or not I should put Luck in instead of Peyton since Peyton is allegedly hurt and they are playing a really tough Kansas City defense but Peyton has just been so God damn good this year I decided to play it safe.

Luck had a solid game last night tough so I hope I did not make a mistake! It sucks to miss out on rushing QB touchdowns since they give more points.

Fleener had his career best game yesterday so yayyyyy

I need Romo to do a couple of these to get me some more points.
