Somehow I knew Zona would be at the top....and still on the WW.

I think Buffalo is definitely better than 26th this week...

ARI had -4 pts for me last week scary play, but Im still sticking w/ them

Well, then maybe you ar not taking into account that the Jets give up the fewest turnovers of anyone in the league, and the only teams that allow fewer sacks than them are Denver and Indianapolis...

If you consider that the Jets average 0.71 turnovers per game, and 1.00 sacks per game, while scoring an average of 24 points, that works out to be an average of about 2.42 FFP per game... If that is enough for you, so be it...

Also consider what the Jets just got done doing to a Miami D that is very comparable to Buffalo's defense...

Yeah...me too FLux. Final score...I lost 109-106. If I had started TB on their bye I would have won. Gotta love FF.


Question for you Plindsey. IN your formula what are the points awarded for scoring. EG: 0 points allowed 15, 14 or 10? I think all the others are reasonably standardized EG 35+ is a -4.


oh...and thanks once again for the effort Plindsey. Very much appreciated even with that Zona fiasco last week

This post made me laugh.


hopefully thats enough for him

I was hoping for some better #'s from Buffalo myself (I actually think this is an upset special waiting to happen)...but it's a junk-league team that I had them on. I guess I'll have to go to Washington and hope Roy doesn't play.

I would pick KC, but Tampa's offense is much better than earlier in the year...

Plindsey, please stop explaining yourself man. You're the boy and let's leave it at that. The formula works to an extent and you can't predict fluke weeks my brother. Thanks much for your defense posts. They rock.
