For the Love of the Game: 'I Am Sad'... and Other Thoughts on the Giants' 2018 Season So Far
I am a fan of the New York Giants and I am sad; I am sad that this season has not started out the way I thought and it looks like it's already over for the Giants before it even got started.I bought into the "revamped" offensive line. I bought into the fact that Eli Manning still had something in the tank. I bought into the fact that a coaching change would be a difference; that anyone is better than that ass-hat Ben McAdoo. I thought the Giants, with shiny offensive weapons such as Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham Jr., would lead the Giants to be closer to the 11-5 team of two years ago than the 3-13 team from last year.Well it looks like I was WRONG—very, very wrong.

Eight Week 3 Wide Receivers to Draft in DraftKings
You hopefully made good money last week if you went with Adam Thielen, Ty Hilton, Golden Tate, JuJu or Allen Robinson; however, Odell, Demaryius Thomas, and Ted Ginn Jr all flopped while Julio Jones, Tyreek Hill, and Mike Evans weren't as avoidable as we had thought. Sorry. But welcome to a new week and all the ways to win a million are available again. We've already covered three quarterbacks and five running backs and today we are covering the eight wide receivers. Undoubtedly the heart and soul of your team, your four (yes four) wide receivers will be the bread and butter of your winning line up. Cutting costs at other positions and paying for premium running backs leaves about $6,000 for all four spots; so you will once again need to get creative in your flex if you overspend at WR1 and WR2. Every dollar here counts. Here are eight wide receivers to pick n choose from and three to avoid.

The G.O.A.T.
This was written a week before Tom Brady and the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl...AGAIN! Let me start by saying I hate Tom Brady and I hate the New England Patriots. Ok, hate is a strong word. I have a hatred for Tom Brady and the Patriots. Why? Because all they do is win! When Brady was suspended four games, my first thought was, “Yes, that should be four losses and now some other teams may have a chance.” Fat chance...the Patriots won three of the four games without Brady.

Wide Right, Wide Left: How We Handle Adversity Matters
There is so very much information and advice about how to do just about everything in modern life that we often overlook valuable life lessons that are right in front of us. Sometimes, these come from the most unexpected of places. And yes, sometimes they even come from seeing someone have the worst day of their life on your big screen television!

Five Week 3 Running Backs to Draft in DraftKings
If you followed the blog last week, you hopefully made good money betting on Saquon Barkley and James Conner and avoiding Dalvin Cook and Kareem Hunt. This is a new week, though, and that means a whole new slate of chances to win a million. Yesterday, we covered the week three quarterbacks to draft and today we're looking at five running backs. Arguably the most important position, the running backs volume can fluctuate greatly which affects production and can be the difference between you winning and losing, just ask players like James Conner and Jay Ajayi. Good running backs are at a premium this week so with a $6,000 budget for both running back spots, you'll either need to get creative or cut costs at other positions like tight end or defense. Totally plausible, but here are five running backs with high upside you can feel confident about this week.

Three Week 3 Quarterbacks to Draft in DraftKings
You probably made good money last week if you went with Drew Brees or Jared Goff and avoided Tom Brady; however, Tyrod Taylor was also a flop. Sorry about that one, but early season returns on adjustments is necessary in DraftKings if you want to stay on top and winning money.

Eight Week 2 Wide Receivers to Draft in DraftKings
We've already looked at three quarterbacks and five running backs to consider drafting this Sunday and today, we'll be looking at eight wide receivers. Undoubtedly, the bread and butter position in any PPR format and especially so in DraftKings, competitive, prolific receivers are expensive. You'll need to choose four (at least three and a flex, we highly recommend using a WR in your flex) to finalize your roster on Sunday. Adding budgetary players at other positions will leave you with about $6,200 for all four of your roster positions and every dollar will count. Here are eight receivers with favorable matchups this week or go-to receivers on prolific offenses that are bound to have big days. Whatever gets you the most bang for your buck.

NFL Week 2 Predictions
Ravens vs. Bengals From what we saw in Week 1 with Joe Flacco and the Ravens, I don't know if the Bengals will be able to keep this one close. The Ravens defense is much better than that of the one in Indy, so Andy Dalton's performance will probably be affected. And Joe Flacco went off against the Bills, so that should build some confidence going into their Week 2 match-up.
