There I was, reading the Victoria Advocate, lo and behold I noticed where five members of the vicad staff made their picks for 17 bi-district matchups this weekend. How do 4 out 5 vicad staff substantiate their picking of Hitchcock over Edna in their bi-district matchup on Friday night...

This was a rough weekend for people that listened to me for fantasy advice. The Advocate's intrepid education reporter Bj Lewis asked me if he should go with LaDainian Tomlinson or Adrian Peterson in his single-RB league. I told him that he couldn't go wrong either way, but that I though...

Week 10 has some interesting fantasy match ups to offer. Can Adrian Peterson keep up his record pace against the Packers? Who's the better QB in the Philadelphia-Washington game? Where do you turn for gimme points with the Patriots on a bye? Let's take a look.
Straight Money: Yeah the Packers...

One could talk about BIg Ben Roethlisberger's five-TD night against the Ravens, or Drew Brees' 445 passing yards against Jacksonville, but those games whimper in the mighty shadow of Adrian Peterson.
Peterson ran for an NFL-record 296 yards against the Chargers, leading the Vikings to a huge...

Well I missed my preview blog due to scheduling conflicts (a.k.a. two sick kids), but they're better, which is more than can be said for the football this weekend. We had some real stinkers. I guess that whole parity thing has gone out the window.
Detroit 16, Chicago 7: This one of those game...

The two biggest fantasy highlights of Sunday were hands down Tom Brady's six TD passes and Titans kicker Rob Birones' NFL-record eight field goals, but there was quite a bit shaking in the NFL this weekend.

I like the schedule this week. There are some good matchups and interesting games. It's one of those weeks where I wish 1) I had DirecTV 2) that I had DirecTicket for said DirecTV, or 3) it was more socially acceptable to take my kids to a bar so that I could follow most of these game. But alas,...

OK, so I'm a day late. Sue me. I'm sure all five of you that actually read this were doubled over with withdrawl pains yesterday. My combined mourning for the Texans and Monday was too soon to relive that stinkfest of a loss.
Vikings 34, Bears 31: This was a bad mark on an otherwise good...

I groaned a little when I started going through this week's games to make my picks. There are a lot of bad teams playing each other, which makes for unpredictable scenarios. It's also going to make for some interesting fantasy matchups and any true fantasy fanatic knows it's all about the...

Fantasy owners were sent into a scramble over the last couple of days with the news that both Arizona QB Matt Leinart and Carolina QB Jake Delhomme were placed on injured reserve, ending their respective seasons. There were also some less impactful injuries like Tampa Bay RB Michael Pittman...

Kickers had great games on Sunday, which means there was a lot of ugly offense going around. This could spell a loss for plenty of teams (my ACFFL squad included). So without further dealy, let's get to the ugliness.

Well, two weeks in a row that NCAA football has provided one shocker after another. While the biggest shock happened this weekend with Stanford winning over USC, it did not provide quite as many losses as the previous week. I will say that the media and coaches will not drop USC out of the polls,...
