NCU Fantasy Football | Week 4 Picks
.png)
This column's first week was a smashing success with a 7-1 record and rave reviews. The only game we missed was Pruett riding his kicker to 19 points and a win. The other seven games we nailed. Move over Jimmy the Greek. We may just be the greatest prognosticators in the world. So pay attention!
Hurts Locker @ Jabad's Sheep
The Algorithm @ Country Bear Jamboroo
This game matches up two teams which are almost mirror images of each other. That's a huge disappointment for Amy, whom I expected to be at the top of the standings, but has struggled this far. She is starting a defense which allowed SEVENTY points last week, but matchups matter and they play the putrid Bears this week, which should be enough to overcome the other close matchups at the other positions. Amy 83-78. — Matt Hurm
Laces Out @ Fighting Minnow
Hurm eviscerated Figment's Fart last week, but will find the sledding a little tougher with his Dolphins (Mostert, D/ST) facing the Bills. I think the passing game will find some daylight, but last week's outburst was a one-time thing. Nathaniel Dell's breakout in Houston might have legs, and I see Pruett Aiyuk, Meyers, and Tua to an improbable third victory. Laces Out by 2.5. — Jamaal Gilbert
Trojan Horses @ Garbage
I'd be foolish to pick against Troy when he's got matchups on his side. Through three weeks, the Trojan Horses look like the best team in the league, and I don't see Jake standing in his way this week. It's be akin to Kool-Aid Man vs. The Brick Wall or Fire vs. Paper. The Men of Troy notch a third victory on the strength of a fiery receiving corps and Josh Allen's golden right arm. Horsies by 47. — Jamaal Gilbert
We Are Terrible @ Joseph Addai
The Raven's matchup is overly important for JoAd because of his dependence on Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews. And they play an exceptional Browns defense this week. That neutralizes the advantage he could have had at those positions and gives Nathan Peterson the edge. I cannot believe it, but I am predicting a 4-0 start for We Are Terrible who win this week 91-89. — Matt Hurm
The Numbers @ Madison's Finest
Jamaal is in a pickle this week. Does he keep starting Burrows and let himself work out of his early season funk? Or does he turn to the rookie Bryce Young against the Vikings? In the end, I don't think it will matter as Lance is better or even at every position group and should win handily. And watch for a Vikings win this week over an injury ravaged Panther's D. Lance 102-81. — Matt Hurm
Clear Eyes Full Hearts @ Serenity Now!
Drew gets A-Rich back after the concussion scare, and anything is possible when this guy is in the lineup. He's got serious Vick vibes. Add that to some softer competition for key guys (Pickens/Samuel/Pitts), and he's got a puncher's chance against Paul, who I am picking because he's got the better players, better, strategy, and he attended the draft. Serenity Now! locks it up... wins by 7. — Jamaal Gilbert
All Mahomies @ Figment's Fart
The All Mahomies ship is taking on water, but a date with a flatulent dragon is just what the doctor ordered (at least for a few more week while he awaits Jonathan Taylor's return). Diggy, Ridley, and Mahomes should be enough to squeak by, giving Nick another week to try and work out what direction he wants to take things this season. If I'm honest, neither of these teams is inspiring right now and writing this was excruciating. Mahomies by 11. — Jamaal Gilbert
See you next Thursday!
