The battle of 5-0

Ok. So I had time to muse over the ramblings and predictions we have been doing. And its report card time. Here is how the predictions have gone so far


Kaam Dev Baba prediction of which team will win: 17-13 (wins-loss)

Airy Fairy Hawa Hawaii Prediction : 12- 7 (wins-loss)

Humm…not as bad as I thought. About 57% success or 43 % failure in. Take it which ever way you would like.

So I decided to see who is getting my predictions wrong. In other words, which team I predict to win week after week and they don’t. Guess who the culprit is.


Niral- 3

Shilpi /Jimit-2

Devashree -2

Meghna - 2

Shirin - 2

Darshini -1

Valmik -1


I lead the pack in getting my predictions wrong. Damn its always about me. Well that explains the 1-4 record. Doesn’t it! After me its followed by whole bunch of people at 2. Come on people help me help you.


Before I go in deeper on this weeks picks I wanted to take a moment and delve on the battle of the heavy weights. The battle of 5-0. One of you guys will know the pain of 1 in the Loss column. Ask us..Actually don’t ask us …after a few losses we are immune to it and don’t feel the pain of the loss any more……….Unless if you are Passa (13 points!) or Disorderly’s (losing to Ali with his 3 players not playing) then all you say is What the <bleep> !!


The battle of 5-0

Its Sanchez vs. Flacco…MJD vs. Turner …….rising star “other” Steve Smith vs. Old knock Hines Ward…..consistent Ravens D vs opportune Washington D.


BTW check out this interesting link for Washington Redskins

If I were you …….

Sleeping with the ENEMY

106

Team Puntars

115

I would not start Dennis Northcutt?? Who Northcutt. Look him up. I'd stick with hester or Jones

DEVISH THE SMASHERS

96

Rainbow Catchers

107

I would look into this match up. This way to close than it appears on projections. Your rosters are set. Rainbow… I would start Packers D. No matter how tempting Jacksonville D might sound.
Q: Why do Jacksonville D never wear Halloween costume?
A: Because they scare no one.

Godric Griffindor

87

End zone diva

88

I would not think its too ridiculous when I say I would start David Garrard in place of Brees. Kerry Collins as starting QB. OMG! Don’t even want to go there.

The TryThrowCatch!

83

my AYYARS

92

I would watch out for Star matchups. The battle of 5-0. I wouldn’t want to comment on this one and be the pretext of 5-1. Gentlemen, good luck and fight hard. I just have a feeling the underdog is going to out smart the heavy luck

Team Chipolopolo

79

.... Disorderlys...

83

Humm…Greg Jennings on bench. I am sure you are just resting him. I know Peyton Manning is good but come on a bye week Manning in starting roster will still get you 0 points.

Knock... UDown

90

Terra Cotta Blitzerz

76

Ah..KUD vs the Bye week team. Come on if you cant beat a guy who is not active fantasy player who will you beat (yes….you can still feel ashamed …Disorderlys)

  2. Damn Niral!
    If you write about the 5-0 matchup, what am I going to write about! :P
    Also, I see that I havent caused you to lose on your predictions but by predicting me to win today, you are almost gauranteeing my entry into that list. I may be 5-0 but I just scored 52 points last week! ... doesnt that tell you anything! :)
