Your Fantasy Football Start’em Sit’em and Sleepers for Week 9

FFGoat

We are past the midpoint of the season and before you know it your fantasy football play-offs will be in full swing. Every start becomes even more critical from this point forward if you expect to be in the playoffs. That is why my friend I took a little extra care in choosing my seven players for this weekends games.

Real quick, here’s a little reminder of how I have things set up. I list two players who I think deserve a start and two players that I think should ride the pine. [...]

Gambler? Surfing the Internet?

Bigg M

It is a pity that there are only two good online gambling options for US residents. I recommend BetOnline.com. It is run by Chuck Bauer, who is on top of all the taxpaying and good customer service, the lack of both of which has doomed so many competitors and screwed so many of these competitors' customers. To sum up the ideal site, simply sign up and try out the services. Another good site is Bodog, although the ins and outs are less on my mind becaus [...]

laker game and the jazz

cpwoody42

i did a teaser on the lakers +9.5 and the jazz/golden state game over 209 well thanks to the jazz putting up 117 i covered that. while that game was final there was about 6 minutes left in the laker game. with the lakers down 12(should have been closer but they had missed 15 free throws) with just under 2 minutes left. i just figured that the the rockets would be getting fouled and shooting free throws so it would be a double digit game therefore me not winning my bet.&nbs [...]

Seeing is Believing

Bigg M

My impression in the earlier submission is one where I give out my e-mail address, and so, here it is: biggemm@gmail.com. The earliest way is also the best way in so many child tradition-setting matters, and the involvement in sports that is lacking in some parts of our society is also lacking in the children’s lives from the spectator’s seat. The memory will influence their desire and energy level will be better appreciated in their minds. Can I divulge a little more of this appreci [...]

Waiver Wire Winners

twilliams

This weekend was probably the greatest weekend ever. No, not because Marquis Colston came to life. Not because Joseph Addai is the clear cut #1 guy in Indianapolis. To tell you the truth, it's because we now have a Sonic in my area.

After seeing their commercials for years, and not having a Sonic closer than 2 hours away, this is excellent. When I found out they had opened Saturday, I told my wife we were going. We returned the next day. The onl [...]

Random Book Review

Random Thoughts

Greetings from lovely Baltimore, Maryland where the city motto is, "At least we're not Detroit!" Actually the Inner Harbor and the area immediately surrounding the convention center seem pretty nice. Not that I've seen much of the city what with the 14 hour days and all. Since I knew I wouldn't get to see many games I thought I would give you a review of one of my favorite books about college football. But first just let me say I was waaayyyyy off about the defense of the N [...]

BY POPULAR DEMAND - IM STARTING TO BLOG

Moneyline

Im starting this as a place for everyone to read my moneyline picks. It is the only type of wagering I do.

I can't tell you how excited I am for NBA season. It's like Christmas every day for the next seven months.

My Moneyline Pick of the Day

Houston Rockets to Win vs. Lakers (Bet 2 units)

*First games are like blind dates. You might get a beauty or you might get a big, fat, ugly one. I see this as being [...]

Introduction

Bigg M

Holler at your boy whenever! My name is Micah O'Kray. I like basketball and the NBA, so jump on here and post your comment about the hardwood. Most of my adult life I have been a Detroit Piston fan, from the Bad Boys on.

The Western Conference has an edge on the Eastern to the eventual NBA Finals, which is more of a showcase for this point, the lousy refereeing (see Miami, 2006), or the team-first attitude (see Detroit, 2004), than anything else. [...]

Monday Review and Prep for Week 9

fflibrarian

I think there was an eerie silence over Denver last night as the 4th and final game of the WS ended last night with another Rockies loss. All I can say is, Monday Night Football, baby. The Packers are coming to town and I personally am really looking forward to tonight's game. I am playing my husband again this week (I happily beat him for the first time a few weeks ago) but things aren't looking very good for me - he has 86 to my 41 points. I do have Cutler, Driver, Scheffler, and ID [...]

NHL

Rover

Caps +140

I'm on a short losing streak now after going 0-2 in the NFL, but Saturday was big going 2-0 in NHL and 3-2 in CFB including two 2-1 dogs. The Leafs were good to me on Sat, but I'm going to go against them tonight. Caps have been losing, but against good competition and the Leafs haven't been unstopable at home this year. Looking forward to my favorite sport - basketball to start up. I will have both college and pro underdogs.

Here are some waiver wire and sleeper picks for you to check out. There are a ton of guys on my list because I play in some deeper leagues. I need to look a little deeper than most.

May be available now…
Adimchinobe Echemandu RB (HOU) - Not sure how you say`his name but he looked pretty decent against San Diego until the game got out of hand. 10 carries for 62 yards along with 2 catches for 11. Ahman Green was a last second mystery scratch and they cut Gado which gave AE [...]

Can We get some help?

yanksdynasty

As a life long Minnesota Vikings fan,i'm disturbed about the lack of production coming from the offense.I did not think i would be saying that after monster seasons,98 thru 2003.I also thought we would still haveDaunte Culpepper,and Randy Moss.Stupid me.Moss was and still is,in my opinion,the best reciever in the game.Period.And now that he is actually playinf for a team were the qauterback can get him the ball..Very disapointed when he left.Daunte,not so much..Anyways the defense can only d [...]

Going with these on top of the football picks

Blue Jackets +100

Maple Leafs +160

I had Montrea last night although I didn't post. So far I am 1-2 -.5 for the week so this week could still go either way depending on what happens today. I really like the home dogs I posted earlier this week. My picks are not often anti-concensus, but when they are I like them even more. USF and Houston are also playing their second straight road game. Look out. Ohio is still a game t [...]

Waiver Wire Winners

twilliams

As I said in my NFL system predictions, I'd like to do a weekly waiver wire column. Now I know waivers have processed in leagues by now, but the focus of this column would be to find players that you can use whether your player has a bye week, or if you're stuck with a group of meatballs at running back and you need weekly help (I'm looking at you Rudi Johnson and Laurence Maroney.)

In order to try and keep this universal, I won't include any player that is owned i [...]

NCAA System Saturday Picks

twilliams

So Boston College ends up coming back in remarkable fashion to beat Virginia Tech last night, arguably netting them the best win of their season, and making them a legit #2 team. After all of my talk on how Boston College is over-rated, you can only imagine that I would be upset, right?

Wrong.

I have no problem with Boston College. I have no problem with Ohio State. Sure, maybe I say some things just to poke Ohio State homers in the ribs, but that's just all in fun. Fun fo [...]

Consensus start and sit picks for Week 8

fflibrarian

As I mentioned yesterday, I wanted to try something new this week - a start/sit digest of sorts where I give you the most popular starts and sits across the board. I'm basing this off of the start and sit sites that I linked to yesterday as well as a few more that went up in the past 24 hours or so. So first, let's take a look at some of the new start or bench sites that have gone up since my post yesterday:

CBS Sports' Week 8 Start 'em and Sit 'em
NFL.com's St [...]

Colobberado At Fenway With Momentum

scootdig

Game One was rough for scootdig. Rough for Colorado. Rough for bettors playing from the heart on something called momentum...in hindsight, and yes I stuck with Colorado in Game Two, the nail biter that it was, too, but in hindsight, I made two fatal mistakes. 1. I really didnt think enough about the record breaking 8 days off the Rox were dealt. Shoot, I dont have a clue whats goin on when I return to work after 8 days off! That was a mistake to brush that off [...]
