Rodgers or Cousins this week? They're playing each other. Lazard is doubtful.

I'm about 80/20 Cousins right now.

It's hard picking against ARod. But Cousins makes sense to me.

I think you're fine with either. Isn't Vegas's combined point total for the game something like ten zillion?

I actually won a championship 5 or so years ago benching ARod for someone like a Cousins. Can't remember who.

Do you guys do Survivor or Pick'em leagues?

I have done survivors in the past. Not doing one this year. MSG does a big one. Three payout is usually like ten grand.

I like the concept. It's fun and takes about 20 seconds to do each week.

Yeah, I get it. I'm just not much of a gambler. The stress gets to me and I can't really enjoy the games.

Oh I do free stuff. Unless you just mean that in a more generic sense.

I love sports gambling but I'm also very good at it.

I love it too. Had to quit 20 or so years ago. Had a bad, bad weekend. Haven’t made a bet since.

I could totally see a week 1 turd from Rodgers.

I'm going back and forth on Ertz and Irv Smith. I'm starting Cousins, so I could could capitalize on that if they hook up (not banging) on a TD.

Isn't Ertz banged up?

Yeah...He should play, but will likely be on a snap count. They're limited at WR right now, so I could see him getting targets. Or red zone looks. Irv is probably the safer bet.

For some reason I thought Ertz was out. But if he's playing, you're right, they are so limited at the WR position and KC's defense is so green (3 starting rookies in the secondary) that Ertz might actually be a decent play. Even on a snap count.

$2700

I know that doesn’t sound like much now, but this was a long time ago. It could’ve been $4500 if I hadn’t actually hit on MNF for $900.
