The Football Commission: Week 3 Results

Heading into Week 3, the separation between the boys and the men will start to become apparent. Last week, Jeff had the best record and Achillies took home the fantasy crown. Let’s see if ETG can earn himself some respect this time around. Coach Webb is also looking for points in that category. Let the games begin.

Houston at New Orleans
NY Giants at Philadelphia
Jacksonville at Carolina
New England at Buffalo
Miami at Cleveland
San Francisco at Cincinnati
Denver at Tennessee
Detroit at Minnesota
Baltimore at St. Louis
NY Jets at Oakland
Kansas City at San Diego
Arizona at Seattle
Atlanta at Tampa Bay
Green Bay at Chicago
Pittsburgh at Indianapolis
Washington at Dallas

Week 3 Winner: Jeff (13-3)

Fantasy Winner: Achillies  (Tom Brady – 30)

Overall Leader: Jeff (27-5)

So after winning the first week by a landslide, Jeff did it again. He is now the overall leader with Achillies alone in 2nd place. Achillies also won the fantasy challenge again with Tom Brady (who is always a safe pick).

Achillies: 11-5  Overall: 23-9

• New Orleans, Philadelphia, Carolina, New England, Cleveland, San Fransisco, Tennessee, Detroit, Baltimore, New York Jets, San Diego, Arizona, Atlanta, Green Baby, Pittsburgh, Dallas

• Fantasy: Tom Brady (33) is going to have a throwing party on the Buffalo Bills.

D-Lop: 9-7   Overall: 21-11

• Houston, New York Giants, Carolina, New England, Miami, San Fransisco, Tennessee, Detroit, Baltimore, New York Jets, San Diego, Arizona, Atlanta, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Washington

DG: 9-7  Overall: 21-11

• Houston, Philadelphia, Carolina, Buffalo, Miami, San Fransisco, Denver, Detroit, Baltimore, New York Jets, San Diego, Arizona, Atlanta, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Dallas
  

• Fantasy: Fred Jackson (24) is on my fantasy team and he has produced the last few weeks. Going up against the Pats he will get more balls thrown his way so look for him to score big.

ETG: 10-6   Overall: 19-13

• New Orleans, Philadelphia, Carolina, Buffalo, Miami, San Fransisco, Tennessee, Detroit, Baltimore, New York Jets, San Diego, Arizona, Atlanta, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Washington
  

• Fantasy: Against the Chicago defense that hasn’t looked the same I’m going with the defending Super Bowl Champ, Aaron Rodgers (27).

Jeff:  13-3   Overall: 27-5

• New Orleans, Philadelphia, Carolina, New England, Cleveland, San Fransisco, Tennessee, Detroit, Baltimore, Oakland, San Diego, Arizona, Tampa Bay, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Dallas
  

• Fantasy: Rob Gronkowski (30.5) (I guess when you have a 14-2 record you don’t have to explain yourself huh?)

Justyn Waves: 9-7  Overall: 19-13

• Houston, Philadelphia, Carolina, Buffalo, Miami, San Fransisco, Denver, Detroit, Baltimore, New York Jets, San Diego, Arizona, Atlanta, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Washington

Winner: Jeff (14-2)

Fantasy Winner: Achillies (Tate – 23)

This was the first week for us so we are still learning what we can improve on and how to expand. Jeff only had 2 losses putting him in the lead, followed by a 3-way between Achillies, D-Lop & DG for 2nd. Achillies also won the fantasy pick with Ben Tate picking up 23 points.

 

Achillies: 12-4

• Picks: Detroit, Baltimore, Cleveland, Oakland, Minnesota, New Orleans, New York Jets, Pittsburgh, Arizona, Green Bay, Dallas, New England, Denver, Houston, Atlanta, New York Giants

• Fantasy: Ben Tate (23)  – With injury to Foster, Tate will get the bulk of the carries against a suspect Dolphins defense.

D-Lop: 12-4

• Detroit, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Buffalo, Minnesota, Chicago, New York Jets, Pittsburgh, Arizona, Green Bay, Dallas, New England, Denver, Houston,  Atlanta, New York Giants
• Fantasy: Jay Cutler (-4) – Going to have a big year number wise, had a full year to learn from Mike Martz; offensive genius.

DG: 12-4

• Detroit, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Buffalo, Minnesota, New Orleans, New York Jets, Pittsburgh, Washington, Green Bay, Dallas, New England, Denver, Houston, Philadelphia, New York Giants

• Fantasy: After a horrible performance last week, look for Big Ben (19) to put up big numbers against a weak Seattle defense.

ETG: 9-7

• Detroit, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Buffalo, Tampa Bay, Chicago, New York Jets, Pittsburgh, Arizona, Green Bay, San Fransisco, New England, Houston, Denver, Philadelphia, St. Louis
• Fantasy: N/A

Jeff: 14-2

• Detroit, Baltimore, Cleveland, Oakland, Tampa Bay, New Orleans, New York Jets, Pittsburgh, Washington, Green Bay, Dallas, New England, Denver, Houston, Philadelphia, New York Giants

• Fantasy: Andre Johnson (19) – Should go off on the Dolphins defense, who gave up 500+ yards on MNF.

Justyn Waves: 10-6

• Detroit, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Buffalo, Minnesota, New Orleans, New York Jets, Pittsburgh, Washington, Green Bay, San Francisco, New England, Denver, Miami, Philadelphia, New York Giants
• Fantasy: Even though I picked the beats to ultimately lose the game.  Look for their defense to make a lot of big plays in an attack fueled by their long time leader Brian Urlacher (3.5) after the death of his mother.

T-Webb: 10-6

• Detroit, Baltimore, Cleveland, Oakland, Minnesota, New Orleans, New York Jets, Pittsburgh, Arizona, Green Bay, Dallas, San Diego, Denver, Houston, Philadelphia, New York Giants
• Fantasy: Look for Mike Vick (16) to go off with his return to Atlanta.
