The Commish Report: Week 9

The only reason I enjoy London Games is that I can wake up and watch football just like I used to when I lived in that sweet sweet pacific standard time. There’s no time like Pacific Standard Time.
The UFC needs to make a “Saddest M***** F*****” and give it to all of us who paid $59.99 to watch their biggest fight of the year end in a medical recommendation. Ugh. Still mad about that.
It took a shady McCoy fumble and a miracle TD throw for Green Bay to beat a Matt Moore led Chiefs. Mahomes can’t come back soon enough.
Katie and I are both destroyed from experiencing 20.4 yesterday. I’ve been shot in the ass by a pistol.
So needless to say thank god for Sundays. And a Daylight savings Sunday nonetheless!
MATCHUP OF THE WEEK!!!! SomehowFourAndFour vs. I’m more of a TD guy than a Pass guy: These two teams are living on the bubble as we enter the home stretch of the season and this week’s matchup will either really help or really hurt their chance of making it. I really like Mike’s pickup of KC against KC (You like what I did there? YOU LIKE THAT?!) and Samuels seems to be fitting in well in SF. Eric will need to go full Chubb and hope McLaurin returns to form. Which…Case Keenum is not walking through that door so probably not gonna happen. Bold prediction: Melvin Gordon does not meet his projection for the 5th week in a row. Regardless, Mike gets the win by 18pts.
Shock Y Mexican vs. Shock Y Mormon: There once was a time where Steve was 2–1. That time was September and he hasn’t won since. It’s the dawn of a new month but Casey’s team is actually really good (when he updates it) and Dallas really isn’t that good. Casey by 15pts.
Hold the Covfefe vs. The Notorious One: I know Patrick Mahomes is hurt and all but that’s no excuse for starting Trubisky. No excuse. Against anyone else I think Micah would be in trouble here. Connor Out, Sutton has a rookie throwing to him, Landry has Baker Mayfielf throwing to him. However, I expect Micah’s team to keep rolling here with LeVeon Bell looking good against the practice squad from Miami this week along with a big game from Cooper in primetime. Micah by 10pts.
Thad Castle vs. Cairn Express: Shane’s pulling players off the waiver wire like a 6th man and it’s paying off. He may sneak into the playoffs just yet. I think my mom has one of her best teams in the last few years, but they can’t seem to put together at the same time. She may need another 6 TDs from Rodgers which…against the Chargers is quite possible. I gotta think Shane gets the win here on the momentum of Drake’s big Thursday night and nothing was the same.
Hard Gronk Life vs. Naughty Nurse Life: Poor Katie. Her team is so much better than her 3–5 record would suggest just like Anne’s team is actually a lot worse than her 6–2 record would suggest. Something’s gotta give this week right? I expect Wilson and Lockett to have a field day against a Tampa Bay team that’s always good for at least two turnovers a game. I expect Zeke to feast. I’m so afraid of what NE could do to Baltimore this week that I’ve benched Lamar Jackson so Edelman could have a big day too. All that said….Anne by 5pts.
No Luck Needed vs. Evil Shenanigans: I’m already regretting my Minshew start but otherwise I’m feeling good about this week. Jake’s going to need a whole lotta luck with both Gurley and Murrary/Kamara on BYE weeks as well as Jeffery vs Chicago. Can’t get any better than that! Evil Shenanigans prevails by 11pts.
Hope you all had as much fun on Halloween as Charlie Hustle did being a Unicorn.
