NFL Betting Picks For Week 9 (11/8/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads
Well last week couldn't have been much worse. Weather played a major factor in what I thought was the easiest pick of the week (LV/Cle over). The Rams totally dropped the ball against Miami, getting throttled on the road. Even aside from my bets in the article, it was the worst NFL week I have […]
Daniel Jones A Risky QB2 Versus Washington
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has struggled so far in 2020 and has fallen off the radar for fantasy at the midway point of his second NFL season. Jones has just 1,666 yards with a 61.8 percent completion percentage through eight games while sporting a ghastly 7:9 touchdown to interception ratio. Now he faces […]
Devonta Freeman Won't Play Against Washington
New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) will not play in Week 9 against the Washington Football Team. It will be the second straight game that Freeman will miss.

Where Have All the Bell-Cow RBs Gone?
Picture this: It's not 2020 and you're not as old as you actually are. Instead, you're back in middle school, let's say seventh grade. Last night, you forgot (or intentionally neglected) to do your science homework because it was too nice out to be bothered with academics and you spent the evening riding your bike […]

Alfred Morris Makes An Appearance In Giants Backfield
New York Giants running back Alfred Morris was activated from the practice squad before Monday night's matchup with Tampa Bay and split carries with Wayne Gallman for Big Blue.

Golden Tate Catches Late Touchdown On Monday
New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate caught his second touchdown in as many weeks in a Monday night loss to the Buccaneers.
