Fantasy Football Preview

Here would be my top 15 fantasy football players for the upcoming season in terms of overall value with consideration to the position played. (Because obviously all the QB's will have the most fan points at the end of the year)

1. Adrian Peterson RB
2. Tom Brady QB
3. Matt Forte RB
4. Brian Westbrook RB
5. LaDainian Tomlinson RB
6. Michael Turner RB
7. Clinton Portis RB
8. Randy Moss WR
9. Maurice Jones-Drew RB
10. Larry Fitzgerald WR
11. Steven Jackson RB
12. Drew Brees QB
13. Calvin Johnson WR
14. Brandon Jacobs RB
15. Andre Johnson WR

This is a very hard list because there are so many people to pick. Let's see how good these players do at the end of the year.

SDSU Preview!

Well, the 2009 College Football season is less than a month away and I feel it is time to lay out my 2009 SDSU preview!

Here are the basics:

DEFENSE:The horrible defense is back again with a vengeance and are hoping to hold the other offenses to less than 30 points a game.

The HOKE: The defense is now run my Rocky Long, who is a defensive genius.

OFFENSE: The horrible offense is back again with the same cast with more experience. Ryan Lindley is the only hope with the worst running backs in the nation returning for another year. They need to hit the weight room.

The HOKE: The offense is now run by Al Borges who was the former offensive coordinator of the year. As a result, there is respectability.

OVERALL: The team is coming off of a 2-10 season in which they lost to Cal Poly (you can see my response in a lower post). This team is similar to last years except for many players being a lot healthier. Russell Allen was lost to the NFL so that will not help.

The HOKE: Brady Hoke is coming off a 12-2 season with Ball State, a school which has blown for longer than the Aztecs. If he could get them to win, SDSU should be cake.

Here is the schedule for this year (with my predictions afterward):
9-5-09 at UCLA L 38-10
9-12-09 SOUTHERN UTAH W 44-14
9-19-09 at Idaho W 28-14
9-26-09 at Air Force L 28-21
10-3-09 NEW MEXICO STATE W 44-14
10-17-09 BRIGHAM YOUNG L 63-14
10-24-09 at Colorado State L 28-24
10-31-09 NEW MEXICO W 28-21
11-7-09 TCU L 55-10
11-14-09 WYOMING W 10-7
11-21-09 at Utah L 46-10
11-28-09 at UNLV L 28-7


My prediction: 5-7
Best case: 8-4 with losses to Utah, TCU, BYU, UCLA
Worst case: 3-9 with wins vs Idaho, New Mexico State, Southern Utah

Here are my Aztec Stars for the year:

Offense: Ryan Lindley QB
Defense: Miles Burris LB
Special Teams: Mekell Wesley WR

We will see how this turns out. We can only hope that SDSU gets a surprise victory over UCLA and shocks us all. LOL.

NFL Matchups and Predictions

This NFL week presents a wide variety of match ups.. this is my preview and predictions..

Green Bay @ Detroit

This match up seems like a huge mismatch and I see a closer game than many of the experts are predicting. The Lions defense is nowhere near as bad as they showed last week and I think the Lions offense will score some touchdowns on the Packer D. I see Aaron Rodgers playing a conservative game and keeping the Lions in the game.

My Prediction: 24-21 Packers
FF Stud: Calvin Johnson 9 catches, 89 yards, 1 TD
FF Dud: Ryan Grant : 22 carries 62 yards 0 TD

New Orleans @ Washington

This match up can end up with so many outcomes that I really don't know what to say. I can see Drew Brees having a huge game vs this Washington defense and expect one big run from Reggie Bush. Jason Campbell will have a comeback game but will come up short on a last second drive..

My Prediction: 28-21 New Orleans
FF Stud: Drew Brees 27-42 355 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT
FF Dud: Clinton Portis 24 car 72 yards 0 TD

Oakland @ Kansas City

A game of two horrible teams which will end up being one of the most competitive games of the week. The Raider defense will have a comeback game and surprise a lot of people after last week. Expect Jamarcus Russell to have a frustrating game but will come through in the end..

My Prediction: 14-10 Raiders
FF Stud: Larry Johnson 23 carries, 120 yards 1 TD
FF Dud: Justin Fargas 18 carries, 55 yards, 0 TD

Chicago @ Carolina

Hmmm, with the Bears coming off a huge win against the Colts and the Panthers coming off a win vs the Chargers, expect a defensive struggle here. The game should be close but I see the Bears dominating with a strong defense and a surprise showing by Kyle Orton. The Defense will set up a lot of the Bears offense. The Panthers secondary is looking weak after Rivers toasted them last week..

My Prediction: 23- 6 Bears
FF Stud: Matt Forte 25 carries 115 yards, 2 TD
FF Dud: Jake Delhomme 22-41 219 yards, 0 TD, 3 INT

New York (NYG) @ St. Louis

Some people are picking upset this week but I don't see. The Rams are bad. That's all that is there.

My Prediction: 34- 14 Giants
FF Stud: Brandon Jacobs 22 carries, 120 yards, 3 TD
FF Dud: Rams Defense

Buffalo @ Jacksonville

This is a hard game to predict since the Jaguars are suppose to be Superbowl contenders and the Bills are predicted as a playoff team as well. So, I see a real close defensive battle but it will end in a two score game..

My Prediction: 20-7 Jaguars
FF Stud: Maurice Jones-Drew 19 carries, 88 yards, 2 TD
FF Dud: Marshawn Lynch 31 carries, 88 yards, 0 TD

Indianapolis @ Minnesota

I give the Colts the advantage in this game but I could see Adrian Peterson rushing for 200 yards..


My Prediction: 35-28 Colts
FF Stud: Reggie Wayne 10 carries, 120 yard, 2 TD
FF Stud: Adrian Peterson 30 carries 206 yards, 2 TD
FF Dud: Colts Defense and Vikings Defense

Tennessee @ Cincinnati

This is a real good match up. Watch out for Carson Palmer to have a huge game..

My Prediction: 21-17 Bengals
FF Stud: Carson Palmer 29-41 300 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT
FF Dud: Kerry Collins 24-38 210 yards, 1 TD, 3 INT

Atlanta @ Tampa Bay

The Falcons are coming off a huge win in their opener but they will lose big time here...

My Prediction: 31- 10 Bucs
FF Stud: Brian Griese 26-31 320 yards 3 TD, 1 INT
FF Dud: Matt Ryan 8-17 81 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT

San Francisco @ Seattle

I give Seattle the advantage here but expect San Francisco to hang tight with a weak defensive performance by Seattle..

My Prediction: 27-24 Seattle
FF Stud: Matt Hasselbeck 22-31 230 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT
FF Dud: Seattle Defense

San Diego @ Denver

I expect the Chargers to fight back hard and destroy the Broncos in this game. Many experts are falling in love with Denver but I don't see it. Watch out for LT and Philip Rivers to just dominate the Broncos front 4 and secondary while the Chargers D will score some points from some Denver turnovers..

My Prediction: 38-7 Chargers
FF Stud: LT 22 carries, 160 yards, 3 TD
FF Dud: Broncos Defense

New England @ New York (NYJ)

Many people are predicting the Jets to win this game without Brady in the line-up. I see the Patriots D having a huge day and Mr. Favre crawling back to his mommy after getting smacked.

My Prediction: 31-10 Patriots
FF Stud: New England Defense
FF Dud: Thomas Jones 22 carries, 60 yards, 0 TD

Miami @ Arizona

What a boring match up. It is so boring, i just don't want to write anymore.

My Prediction: 17-9 Cardinals
FF Stud: Kurt Warner 30-44 340 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT
FF Dud: Chad Pennington 17-33 196 yards, 0 TD, 3 INT

Pittsburgh @ Cleveland

What a fun match up. I just don't believe in this Cleveland team. They are just gonna get rocked so hard by the Steelers D that it will be like splitting the atom and causing a black hole..

My Prediction: 27-3 Steelers
FF Stud: Willie Parker 25 carries, 120 yards, 2 TD
FF Dud: Browns Offense

Philadelphia @ Dallas

T.0. vs the Eagles again.. I see a good game here and a lot of fireworks. Bring the popcorn :)

My Prediction: 35-31 Dallas
FF Stud: T.O. 11 catches, 140 yards, 3 TD
FF Dud: Eagles Defense

Death

Well, the large hard-on collider.. oops.. hadron collider is going to be turned on within the hour. Human existence will end and the universe will be swallowed into a black hole. I would just like to say that this world brought us many goods things and bad things and it was nice while it lasted. Have a nice rest of your lives! :(


UPDATEEE: Doomsday will happen sometime in the next month when they do the first collision so everyone do everything they ever wanted to do.. a BLACK HOLE IS COMING!

NFL Tonight!

The NFL season opens up tonight with the New York Giants and Washington Redskins. I do not want to go into too much detail about the game since I do not like either team. I will just say that I believe the Giants will win this game. Not because of their defense, but rather their special teams and Offense. Their defense will struggle a bit at the beginning of the game but I believe they will settle in. Final score: 28-14.

Fantasy Studs:

Plaxico Burress: 9 catches, 135 yards, 2TD
Clinton Portis: 26 rushes, 110 yards, 1TD

Fantasy Duds:

Jason Campbell: 17-33 167 yards 1 TD, 3 INT
Washington Defense

Fantasy Football Tips

With the release of Rudi Johnson from the Cincinnati Bengals today, the starting running back job becomes open. Chris Perry is the presumed starter entering this season. A 2004 first round pick out of Michigan, Perry is a solid backup/ spot-starter on any fantasy team. He could be huge surprise in fantasy football this year, so if he is available in your league, I would grab him up as quickly as a fat chick on a pound of chili cheese fritos.

My projection for him is 1320 yards, 10 TD's.


I will release my Studs and Duds for this NFL season sometime next week..

SDSU

tisk tisk tisk.. losing to Cal Poly. Jeez, I just don't even know what to say. At least Ryan Lindley looked good.... Here's my fearless forecast for next week vs Notre Dame.. SDSU 35 ND 7 :)
