Hope everyone has Amazon Prime.  This is the 1st week Amazon has the rights to air the game.

 

Sorry, brain fart when I posted this.

Yep.  You can bet it will be plastered all over the Amazon Prime Video home screen on Thursday night.

Yeah, I am sure it will be quite visible when you sign in.  Then Amazon Prime commercials throughout the game as well as their logo in one of the corners.

My girlfriend has Amazon Prime. I logged in and it showed the Thursday night game on the main screen.

Hopefully Mike Williams doesn't sh1t the bed again like he did in Week 1.

Allen being out might help.

It does disproportionately impact elderly football fans

[AxeElf 787]

As if there are people who still don't have Amazon Prime.

When I can’t figure out how to get the game on the holographic photon projector I’ll just stop watching…

I don't. It's not worth it to me.

I'm afraid that soon you will not be allowed to buy or sell without the mark of the Prime.

I understand.

I don't have amazon prime either.  I'll sign up before the game for the free 30 days.  Then may pay month by month to get through December to get all the Thursday games.  

[weepaws 3,450]

Chargers with the victory.

Once you go Prime, you never go back.

You do the prime, you do the time.

What a great game...

Gonna have three different Chiefs (Mahomes, CEH, Juju) leading three different teams into hopefully insurmountable advantages going into Sunday.

Only problem is that the team facing Mahomes is also starting CEH and Juju against me!  The team CEH faces will be starting Kelce against me as well.  Juju's team will be playing unopposed tonight.

Kinda makes rooting for the Chiefs harder, but at least with Keenan Allen out in two leagues, I won't have to root for any Chargers!

Chiefs first, fantasy second.

I used to be like most fantasy owners (you)... knowing my matchups and constantly checking fantasy scores.

Then I realized it was ruining my enjoyment of watching football. Always rooting against certain players.  I also bet on the games, so there's a conflict... "c'mon score, but not with that guy..." ugh. I hated it.

So I decided to quit looking at my matchups and don't check the score until after Monday Night is over. I have no idea who I'm up against this week. I'll just be rooting for my team, my wagers, and enjoying some football.

Then I guess I used to be unlike most fantasy owners, in that I've had 15+ managed leagues to deal with in each of the past 15 years or so and wouldn't have been able to remember who all was playing for or against me in any given week.  Most weeks I would have multiple instances of players I was both starting and playing against, so it was useless to even try to figure out who to root against; I'd just root for my guys and let the chips fall where they may.

So only having 5 managed leagues this year affords me a luxury that has previously escaped me--of knowing my individual matchups for the week and being able to track how my opponents are doing as well!

So far, it's enhancing my enjoyment of watching football, but I suppose whatever you get used to, doing something different is always refreshing.

RB Ronald Jones,

And THAT'S the effect that Pacheco has had thus far.

Note it's the one RB not known for his pass-catching ability.

Under pressure from local tribes, Kansas City changes its mascot to the Hyphens.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Juju Smith-Schulster, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling all expressed their support, and even the team's quarterback offered his leadership in suggesting that he be known as Patrick Mahomes-Dawson from this point forward.

WTF with this Amazon crap? I never buy stuff from them, so no way I’m paying $140 a year just to watch a few football games. Isn’t Jeff Bezos already a trillionaire?

Preach.  I don't even bother looking at scores until about halftime of the second Sunday games.  Makes figuring out who to root for much easier.

..................THE FUTURE!!!

[nobody 2,951]

Chiefs are only -3.5.  that's surprising.  Basically saying these teams are almost equal on a neutral field.  Too bad I can't get it since I can't get a team that looked as good as kc did last week.

[weepaws 3,450]

I’m taking the Chargers plus those points, but I won’t need them.  

 

[nobody 2,951]

I'm sure everyone is on the over at 53.  I'd bet the under.  Two good offenses get together and everyone predicts fireworks.  Then the game ends up 24-17.

[Ray_T 798]

really over under is at 53?   I thought it would be higher

[nobody 2,951]

I wonder if Dru Tranquil even gets that sack.  HE missed the tackle and he still got up and stared into the camera like he was some bad ass.
