OVERALL 10-5
An excellent performance from Adam, proving once again that the Family Fantasy Sports crowd can make the predictions for NFL games just as well (if not better!) than the experts on TV.
Now here are my fantasy picks: I think that Carson Palmer will have a monster game against the Lions defense. Look for the NO defense to stand strong against the Redskins. Check out Steve Slaton, because he’ll run all over the Jags. Chad Ochocinco will be a beast with the arm of Palmer behind him. Matt Stover will make his PAT’s and a field goal against the low-morale TEN defense. I hope you enjoyed my picks.
Since I’m from Cincinnati, I root for the Bengals. When they play the Lions, look for their O-Line to stand strong, and topple the Lions D-Line. Let’s play some football!
Palmer – 15.5 points, decent game
New Orleans DST – 14 points, HUGE game
Slaton – 0 points (injury)
Ochocinc0 -19 points, HUGE game
Stover – 9 points, HUGE game
Adam was pretty much dead-on accurate with his fantasy picks for Week 13. We think they should add a spot for him on one of the big pregame shows. Anyone at ESPN listening?!
