T-HO

Just wanted to say good luck... And that were all counting on you. Been here 15 years... 25th year playing. So i agree that this site is good in there are knowledgeable vets here.

I just happened to be at my house here in Ft Lauderdale the tail end of the rain has passed and it appears the game will not be greatly affected. Pockets of storms may pop up and winds are minimal at 10-15 mph.

safest is bradshaw for 10-12 pts atl/cin could b shootout

im with polecat on this^

dallas only allowed 192 but SF Defense shortened field to where they needn't pass for as many yards.car allowing 162 a game +Romo and dallas lost 4/5 going back to last season+good ol advantage to home team combined with an opportunistic defense and an escalating talent in jake locker has me say kendall...as always check this weeks rankings-Tate could see the lesser corner/single coverage+detroit interior rush* could make time of possesion more even(3rd down%>field position)) to where detroit could put up +20 on a team in carolina that saw that occur but a few times in '13

FYI jax vs wash run D-115 yards allowed vs Cle who are allowing 127.so yeah ingram

amish rake fight Arianfoster the people...

When i have a little more time I'll add more details. But basically it tracks how all 32 teams change throughout a season by visually displaying 8 main stats(total offense-rushing and passing-points for-total defense-vs the run vs the pass and points allowed) for each team every week. I write down the opponent ,score, and whether they won or lost. Instead of writing down the actual number of where that team is in every one of those categories, I use colored pens/crayons and write down the corresponding color(32/8= 8 colors on a warm to cool scale like weather maps display temperatures on the US map). Since most of the 1 trillion bit memory capability of the human brain is dedicated to shapes and colors, I can easily "see" each team as a season progresses based on how I remember what the colors look like, which correspond to that teams relative strength or weakness in those 8 stats explained above. This allows me to better assess 1-which players to pick/avoid from each team 2-which players to pick up and 3-which to drop. Those 8 stats for every team(along with won loss record) are also visually displayed over a span of 3 years to get an idea of where that team is headed based on where they have been. At any point in a season anyone can see how a team is ranked, say 16th in total offense. However, that doesn't actually tell the story of a team like ariz w/Kurt warner where they would be 1st in passing, and last in rushing. I pick players who score more points and avoid those who don't. It allows me to know WSIS since I now know exactly where every team is at any point in the season I avoid relying on OPI(other people's information) Basically, if you were on a desert island, and every week the sunday paper came down on a parachute with those numbers, and you could make one phone call to vegas, wouldn't that be all one would need to bet on football? There is IMO a point of diminishing return when there is so much information available these days. Decide on what you need to know to make the best decisions, then study that information. Statistics like those described are available every week on espn or many other websites. For me it's simplifying and deciding WHAT information you should be looking at, assesing that information, drawing conclusions from it, then making decisions which lead to drafting teams with players who score points, winning championships, beating your chest before saying ha-ha i'm better than you to your friends, taking their money and using it to get a nice lap dance in south florida(that's what I do, anyway). Some say it's too much. Others say it takes too much time. The way I see it it's 2-3 hours a week and I'm done. I can tell any fan of every team at any point in a season where their team is without using anything else but my brain. The problem for everyone else in the world is that it's unfortunately not available at this time for public consumption. I may attempt to sell an all paper version on ebay this summer with a box of crayons and instructions as a tool for grade school students to learn mathmatic funtions while they play fantasy football. If it gets to that point and those in charge here at fftoday are ok with it i'll post a msg if/when that occurs. For now send me a personal note if your really interested and i'll get in touch with you as to how one can do this on their own/send you a free copy. Hope this helped those wondering. For even nerdier types, check out google patents and type in patent number 5021976. Specifically look at just how many references to visual display graphic information displays are mentioned. Thanks and good luck to all this year!

The first step is to go to uspto dot gov and do a relevant searcg for similar products to ensure your not stealing someone's idea. There's a category for stuff before and after 1976;you'd probably need only search after 76 imo. Create a file and copy and paste any relevant patents you find(you'll need these later). BTW I'm not a lawyer or anything, but as an independant inventor who had an idea which I went so far as to show many at the 2009 summer FSTA trade meeting, I have dome alot of reasearch on both patents as well as the fantasy indusrty. Patents can be issued for both tangible things( a mousetrap), as well as methods(for tying a knot), as well as processes and chemical formulas(coca-cola or kfs 11 original herbs etc). About dot com has a good array of beginner info on the topic. The patent office, especially the examiner who will be reviewing your idea adhere to a list of rules they reference before granting a patent. It must be new, novel, and useful. You have to search and incule all PRIOR ART(very important):This says -here's what it kind of looks like, but not exactly, which makes it new-Unfortunately, sometimes any combination of prior ideas when combined may actually make it so that you are denied a patent. Fear not, though, as one can appeal this process, and can still sell your item as patent pending. Ok what does that mean? -Once you offer an item for sale, show it at a trade show, or sell it even at a garage sale or flea market, you have one year to file for a patent. If you don't, you lose your idea. For around 100.00 you can file for a provisional patent application which contains all of the main elements of the patent without the actual claim. Again be forwarned, as a)you have to include a drawing and description which b)has to match and cannot be any different than what you actually turn in when you file for the real patent. There are programs like patent pro which are useful in guiding you through the process if you attempt to do it on your own. The whole patent application itself has to read like instructions so that any person skilled in the art can re-create your ides from scratch using what you've given them. Even after your patent has been filed, there is an 18 month wating period for your ides to be examined. Legally you cannot stop anyone in that time from copying and/or profiting from your idea. Another big problem seems to be that there's no way anyone is going to want something they've 1-never seen before which you 2- can't tell anyone about before in fear it may be stolen. How complicated it is, the ease of use for the common person, the cost to manufacture it and what to charge the average joe(again, how/why are they going to pay for something they've never seen)-There's also the psychology of selling ,how easy a website is to navigate, getiing them to buy once they have been introduced to the idea. Basically you get 8 of every 100 people to buy anything you sell, so how will it be marketed? Hopefully once you've gotten to a finished product, the various viral marketing vehicles like youtube, twitter, and facebook make today the best time in history to announce anything to the whole world at once. Some costs to consider: -Computer graphic designers charge 60.00 per hour, so be sure you know exactly what it is they'll be designing for you. Some websites can easily top 10 grand. -Patent lawers charge 125.00 per hour, so the cheapest route is to do research on how to write a patent, start writing,buy a do-it-yourself program and format each section the way the uspto wants it(they are very picky about margins, the type of paper and ink to use for drawings, labeling with numbers, etc) -The application itself costs 750.00 Hopefully this was helpful. I'm pretty sure you can contact me using fftoday when you click on my username. I go by the name of tommythesandwich, and like most I have a corresponding email at yahoo you can also use to contact me for additional help. My story ended when I ran out of money for my idea, which was scrapped in favor of a different easier to understand paper version I have on file ready to copy I use to help prepare for my leagues. It is a method for understanding large sets of data for every team both as the year progresses as well as over a span of years. The data is displayed using colors much like the weather channel does with temperatures, so as to gain an instant understanding of where every team has been statistically which will assist the human brain with assessing where they are headed. I have used it since 2005 in many forms where I usually won or placed with great success since then. There is a more detailed description in my usernanme history past messages which explains exactly what it is/does. HTH and goog luck!!

fwiw i would start both jones and charles vs buff. Although it is not normally recommended that one start two rb's from the same team, you might make an exception for a few reasons including- 1-that buff has allowed 15-34-38-38-36 & 37 pts this year. 2-KC is home 3-Buff is allowing 174 yards rushing yards allowed(dead last) 4-KC doesn't really pass(168.5 ranks 30th), so all they do is 5-Lead the league in rushing yards(176.5) so... This could be the exception to the rule. Maybe one of them will get the 100 yd bonus(if your league has such). HTH

If NE puts up alot of ponts before halftime they might abandon the run w/LT + greene. Bowe was targeted 5 x last week so could/should see 8-10 targets=6-8 rec 80-100 w/a td maybe so: Bowe

2009 indy ranked 24th vs th run atl 10th but, last wk atl allwd 143 indy 257 i see addais touches limited as teams go back and forth passing atl 22nd oa 09 and 22nd after week 1 hightower

This list may be apt for the ealier rounds in a 10 taemer, but I'm sure one of these guys might be avail: A Bryant-now #2 in Cincy J Edelmann-who knows how acl recovery times go. Ave is 14 mos or so 4 a full heal(?) D Aromishadoo-1st downs/3rd dn% should go up w/add'n of chester. It's plain hard to learn a pos you've never really played, as hester is learning. K walter-Ol reliable 7 pt guy C Chambers-might get lucky and get him when a pos run occurs-ya never know. Solid #3 Someone plz help me(homers) on these situations Nyg #3 wr-should see a gd # of targets+ an inj to #1/2 increases value GB #3-James Jones, Jordy... Sea #1/#2 Nate is gone...Branch...Roby? TB #1 Wr-? Mia-? L Moore Jason Avant-high ceiling/low risk Mark Clayton-Bal-Mason is now very old, Anquan has also battled hammy's. Not a bad #4/5 wr and lastly... Laurent Robinson-Stl-was quietly putting up decent #'s and getting 4-6 rec/gm. Keep an eye on his rehab.
