Best bet for Sunday. Take the Bears as underdogs playing the Giants and the under for total points, which is currently 44.

[-Jrabbit]

I tend to look for kickers on good offenses with a decent track record on longer FGs.

snoopy speaks the truth:

Really, don't try to analyze kickers too much.

But I'm not so sure about SlowwHand. Take the over.

[SlowwHand]

That's why bookies are the winners. They get you and I betting against each other and they take the two juices.

[Donegeal]

Al, I said the Bills are the worst offense in the NFL because they are. After three games (which is good enough to determine a trend), they are the #32 offense and are there by a signicant margin. One game against a (very) bad defense does not mean they are now wold breakers. One game against a bad NE defense means that they are still the #32 offense in the NFL.

As for Tynes v Gould, I'd have to say Gould. Right now, not only do the Bears have a higher upside (ceiling) on offense than the Giants, but they can't punch the ball in on short yardage. Perfect set up for a great year for a kicker.

EPW's Ultimate IDP Week 4 Predictions

Last Week: 1-5 (I got the only one that mattered right)
Overall: 9-9

Vicious Rabbits(8) vs. Deviations(12)
The battle for the bottom. The Deviations have been just awful so far, but there is hope this week. The Vicious Rabbits have some bad match-ups, most notably Cutler@NYG. Palmer@CLE is nothing to cheer about, but Palmers has been so bad anyways it probably won't matter. The Deviations WRs may have some trouble as well, but the rest of the team should have break out weeks.
Deviations win 130-120

Topeka Twisters(7) vs. Random Encounter(9)
Random Encounter's offense is up against some killer defenses across the board this week.His 3 wide receivers will be lucky to break 20 points combined, and Brady may struggle to reach 30 against Miami's pass-d. The running game won't be much better either. And no Jared Allen either(oh, that's probably a good thing).The Twisters have the superior team regardless of the match-ups, but they'll be helped in that regard as well: DET, NE, SEA, and HOU go up against his QB and WRs. Berz in a blow-out.
Topeka Twisters win 180-90

Dallas Dwarf Tossers(4) vs. Forte's Fireman(11)
Boldin led DDT to a surprise victory last week, but its hard to see that happening again this week as he faces baltimore. In fact, his whole team save Matt Ryan will
face some pretty good defenses at their positions. But there is room for hope, as Flacco faces baltimore as well, and another 6 point performance by the Fireman's QB is possible. I don't expect either team to do well, but I think DDT's QB gives him the edge in this one.
Dallas Dwarf Tossers win 120-100

Hairball Express(5) vs. Pornhuskers(10)
Well, I don't know who the Pornlovers are starting, but I do the Hairballs have a good team and have some great matchups this week. I'm a SF fan, but boy do they suck this year and Hairball has three guys going up against them who are good in their own right. And his QB is going up against OAK, along with another WR. His TE and WR3 have pretty good matchups as well.
Hairball Express wins 165-???

Calamitous Intent(3) vs. Mountain Goats(6)
This is Manning vs. Brees, along with alot of other guys who could easily have big days. The player opponents shouldn't be much of an issue on these two teams. The QBs are about equal, edge to MG in WRs, edge to CI in RBs, TE tied. I don't know. Its going to be a high scoring game that may come down to the defense. I'm going to give it to the Mountain Goats since Foster is up against OAK and could have a monster game again.
Mountain Goats win 170-160


GAME OF THE WEEK:

KenobilovesLT(1) vs. Teh Peeled Bananas(2)
The battle of the undefeateds. The battle for 1st place.
Much of the LTlovers ambition resides, once again, in the SD game. A good performance by Rivers and friends and I'll be in trouble. And they are facing Ari this week. Ugh. And I don't have Miles Austin. Ugh. And Chris Johnson is going up against Denver. Ugh. Still, I can win this! The rest of BK's team is unimpressive, and my 3 RBs have the potential to score multiple TDs whoever they are facing. My defense is stellar too. I have no doubts, I win by 20+ points and take over 1st place.
Teh Peeled Bananas win 185-150

[Ben Kenobi]

Austin Collie, Unimpressive.

[Al B. Sure!]

I just realized that the Colts have a Dallas (Clark) and an Austin (Collie)


Austin Collie seems like the real deal. I know Peyton Manning can make anyone look good but Collie's inconsistency last year probably was because he was a rookie. It takes WR's 2-3 years to develop and Austin Collie could very well be developing into a stud WR. Anthony Gonzalez was impressive a couple years ago but he wasn't THIS good. I'm hesitant to say it's all Collie because Peyton Manning really can make any WR a star but he's been continuing to play at a level I didn't think he would. I should have out-bidded people to get him in my money league instead of Legedu Naanee The guy who has Collie also got Vick and doubled his weekly point totals literally overnight with those two pickups alone.

[Al B. Sure!]

Ravens D/ST is ticking me the hell off. 4 fantasy points?! 4?! They call them the #1 defense but they can't get turnovers, sacks, or return yards?!

[Ben Kenobi]

Tomlinson 9-133 3-22 2 TDs He's now 7th all time behind Dickerson, Bettis and Martin. 8th on the scrimmage list, behind Martin, Allen and Sanders.

[flash9286]

Well, Vick is out, looks like I am going to lose this week.

[Donegeal]

What happened to Vick?

[flash9286]

Rib injury. Listed as questionable to come back.

[MRT144]

Antonio gates is a beast.

[Ben Kenobi]

So much for the Vick era.

[Ben Kenobi]

Antonio gates is a beast.

Destroyer of worlds.

Looks like I'm 4-0 on Poly.
