Due to technical difficulties, this will have to be a short and sweet version of Fantasy Football starts and sits, and weekly picks. Last week’s Fantasy Forecast was abysmal. The Chiefs were a disaster and the Cassell to Bowe combo was working like they had both contracted syphilis during the course of the week. Well it turns out that Matt Casell was about to have appendix removed, and was legitimately “sick”.
I went 9-6 last week. The record creeps up to 75-68-1, but down to 4-7 in Best Bets after the Bears not covering.
Fantasy Football Forecast for Week 14
QB Start: Phillip Rivers – He’s hot and at home RESULT: 226 yds 2 TD 1INT
QB Sit: Ben Roethlisberger – He’s banged up and the weather in Pittsburgh is gonna be awful RESULT: 258 yds 0 TD 0INT
RB Start: Knowshown Moreno – Arizona is just putrid right now, and with a new coach, the Broncos ma be running the ball more. RESULT: 81 yds rushing, 5 rec 32 yds, 1 Rushing TD
RB Sit: LeSean McCoy – If there’s one part of the Dallas D that is good, it’s the run D. Vick will get his yards scrambling, but not McCoy. RESULT: 149 yds rushing
WR Start: DeSean Jackson – The Dallas pass defense is abysmal. Mike Jenkins couldn’t cover Betty White. RESULT: 4 rec 210 yds 1 TD
WR Sit: Larry Fitzgerald – Sorry Larry, but untill the Cards get a real QB in there, you are useless. RESULT: 6 rec 72 yds

Should be Green Bay -16.5. BEST BET PICK: Packers RESULT: LOSS
Falcons (-7.5) @ Panthers
That hook is going to come back and bite you. PICK: Panthers RESULT: LOSS

The Bucs have their backs against the wall and probably need to win out. They keep hope alive this week. PICK: Bucs RESULT: PUSH
4 PM EASTERN
Rams @ Saints (-9)
The new “Best Show on Turf” shows Bradford and Co. how it’s done. Petal to the metal. PICK: Saints RESULT: WIN
Seahawks @ 49ers (-5)
I will bet against the 49ers every week. THEY SUCK. PICK: Seahawks RESULT: LOSS
Dolphins @ Jets (-5.5)
I look out my window and see a monsoon that is not supposed to stop till tomorrow. I don’t see how either team is going to score any points. Hence: Take the points. PICK: Dolphins RESULT: WIN
Broncos (-4) @ Cards
There is no worse team in the NFL right now than the Cards. The Broncos are bad, but the Cards are awful. PICK: Broncos RESULT: LOSS
Chiefs @ Chargers (-10)
This line could be higher. Brodie Croyle is taking over for Matt Cassel this week and it’s going to be a disaster. Dude is 0-9 in his career. P. Riv all day. PICK: Chargers RESULT: WIN
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Eagles (-3.5) @ Cowboys
Somehow the Cowboys are showing life under Jason Garrett. They’ve played very well and will continue Sunday night. I like them to cover, but not win. PICK: Cowboys RESULT: WIN
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Ravens (-3) @ Texans
This game really confuses me. Which means I’ll take the team with the better D. PICK: Ravens RESULT: WIN
Giants (-3) @ Vikings
This game was supposed to be played at 1pm on Sunday, but the Metrodome roof collapsed under the weight of the snow from the big storm. The game has now been moved to Detroit. So with a crowd of 3,843 I’ll take the Vikes here. PICK: Vikings RESULT: LOSS
