The Informer's 2018 NFL Picks: Week 2

Here are The Informer's Week 2 NFL Picks. As always please remember these picks are only to be used for illegal debauchery things such as online gambling, parlays, teasers and Super Pick contests.

Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals (Pk)

A.J. Green scored three touchdowns and the Bengals won so I don't even care that my Thursday night pick was once again the biggest loser on the internet. But for the sake of keeping good clean scientific data Al Gore would be proud of, here is my proof of Thursday Night Football loss tweet:

Im taking the Ravens (-1) and the 1st half under 21.5 #TNF

— The Informer (@therealinformer) September 13, 2018

Pick: Ravens (LOSS)

Indianapolis Colts @ Washington (-6)

Before we get to why I am betting the Colts this week, I would like to share a few Adrian Peterson is really awesome stats:

With his 96-yards rushing in Week 1 against the Cardinals, Adrian Peterson passed Jim Brown for 10th place on the NFL's all-time career rushing list. Now, did you know A.P.  needs only 367 more yards rushing to fly past Tony "The Hawk" Dorsett for 9th place all-time?

Sticking with Peterson's all-time rankings; with his next touchdown run he will break a tie with Marshall Faulk and Shaun Alexander and move into 7th place on the all-time rushing touchdown list. For those wondering; Peterson needs four more TDs to pass John Riggins and seven more to pass Jim Brown to move into the Top 5.

Okay, now that we are all caught up on Adrian Peterson's greatness, when it comes to gambling on this game I am taking the Colts +6 because I don't bet against Andrew Luck's sidearm when he is getting points a week after his tight end cost him a comeback win.

Pick: Colts (+6)

Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons (-6)

You want to hear something interesting?

There are only nine current NFL running backs with over 5,000 career rushing yards (Frank Gore, A.P, LeSean McCoy, Beast-mode, Jon Stewart,, Legarratte "Roll me a fat" Blount, Alfred Morris, Mark Ingram and LeVeon Bell).

Of course if things go right this season, there could -- and should -- be at least three more players added to that list. Lamar Miller who only needs 11 more yards, Chris Ivory who needs 145 yards and the great Cam Newton who needs 622 yards (which is only 41 yards per game).

I am not sure what any of that has to do with gambling other then the fact that it was a nice lead into me saying I will be grabbing the six points and backing the future Hall of Famer Cam Newton and the Panthers on Sunday.

Pick: Panthers (+6)

Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers (+7)

My "bookie" does not currently have a line for this game, so I am using my Super Picks contest line which is Packers (+7). I am also making this pick with a caveat so listen closely: If Aaron Rodgers plays on Sunday I am betting the Packers no matter the line. If Aaron Rodgers does not play on Sunday I am betting the Minnesota Vikings no matter the line.

We all clear on what is happening here? Aaron Rodgers plays the pick is G.B.. No one legged man, the pick is Minnesota.

Got it? Good.

Pick: With A-Rod Packers (+7) No A-Rod Vikes (-7)

Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets (-3)

I am taking the Dolphins because I don't think a rookie quarterback who plays for the Jets should be favored in his second career NFL start. But mark my words, if Sam Darnold acts like Sam Darnold did in Week 1 and covers this spread --I will never bet against him again as long as I live (or until Week 3; which ever comes first).

Pick: Dolphins (+3)

Los Angeles Chargers @ Buffalo Bills (+7.5)

I know the Buffalo Bills are the absolute most disgusting abortion of a dumpster fire the NFL has ever allowed to play football, but the gambling rules are the gambling rules. And in this case betting against the "dumpster fires" means a person would be breaking the 80% rule (currently 81% of the public is betting San Diego) and the "always be scared of home dogs" rule.

Listen all, I don't like this anymore then you do, but on Sunday the rules clearly state there is only one way to bet this game. So that means I am going to Informer up (aka drink 12-14 Natty Lights) and take Josh "The Torpedo Missile" Allen and the Buffalo "our fans are no longer allowed to attempt murder on tables" Bills.

May Tebow have mercy on my liver.

Pick: BILLS (+7.5)

Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans (+3)

80% of the public is betting the road favorite; which, as we just discussed, means I am going to be betting the home underdog. Also, just so we are all on the same page, if the gosh damn Titans coach continues to ignore Derrick Henry I swear to everyone reading I am going to start an all out riot.

#Give the 6'4 monster the football and good things will happen.

Pick: Titans (+3)

Kansas City Chiefs @ Pittsburgh Steelers (-5.5)

Here is an "almost" exact quote about the Kansas City Chiefs from The Informer's Week 2, 2008 NFL Picks article: "Man I f***ing hate the gosh damn Chiefs. They are the nastiest no good sons of guns the NFL has ever scene,  and I can't wait to watch them die of gonorrhea and go straight to heck for what they did to Tommy Brady in Week 1.

Now here is an "almost" exact quote about the Kansas City Chiefs from The Informer's Week 2, 2018 NFL Picks article: "Man I f***ing love the gosh damn Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes & Tyreke Hill are two of the nastiest sons of guns the NFL has ever scene, and I can't wait to watch them send Big Ben and the Pittsburgh Steelers straight to heck for what they did to my "pick a winner" contest selection in Week 1.

It really is amazing how much things can change in just 10 short years.

Pick: Chiefs (+5.5)

Philadelphia Eagles @ Tampa Bay (+3.5)
Cleveland Browns @ New Orleans Saints (-9.5)
Arizona Cardinals @ Los Angeles Rams (-13)

I am taking the Eagles, Saints and Rams. The reasoning is simple: I don't like betting on garbage teams against three Super Bowl caliber teams. Also, I think the Browns are a mess (see Josh Gordon), Tampa Bay is coming off of a huge win where they played perfect football and caught every break (time for a letdown), and the last time I checked the Arizona Cardinals are still the Arizona Cardinals.

Pick: Eagles (-3.5), Saints (-9.5) Rams (-13)

Detroit Lions @ San Francisco 49ers (-6)

Ladies and gentlemen it appears that it is time for the Blimpie Best meme of the Week. Now, since it is Week 2, I decided that we are going to hand out two winners this week. Here they are:

And . . .

#I am probably joining the Steelers and going straight to heck for the second one.

Pick: Lions (+6)

New England Patriots @ Jacksonville Jaguars (+1)

Fact #1: Tom Brady is 8-0 against the Jaguars in his career.

Fact #2: Tom Brady is playing the Jaguars in Week 2 and is only giving one point.

In other words: Stick to the basic and take the Tommy's.

Pick: LKLOTW Tom Brady's  (-1)

Oakland Raiders @ Denver Donkeys (-6.5)

If you have the stones to bet the Raiders on the road more power to you. I personally do not have those kind of stones, so I will be betting the Donkey's while watching Von Miller wreck havoc on the hapless Oakland offense.

Pick: Donkeys (-6.5)

New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys (-3)

This is going to be a 3-point game one way or the other. So since the Giants are the team getting the points, I am betting the G-Men and will either take the push (if the lose by a field goal) or get the win (if they win).

Pick: Giants (+3)

Seattle HGHawks @ Chicago Bears (-3.5)

Before I make the last pick, here are 10 more useless stats/facts I came up with while researching for this week's blog:

1. Rob Gronkowski needs three more TD receptions to become the 29th player in NFL history to catch 80 career touchdowns.
2. A.J. Green has 61 career TD catches. Julio Jones has 43.
3. Big Ben Roethlisberger needs 75 yards to pass John Elway for 7th place all time.
4. The Informer went 9-6-1 against the spread in Week 1, which is the best Week 1 record I have had in 11 years writing this blog.
5. Cam Newton's next rushing touchdown will be is 56th career rushing touchdown. It will also move him past Larry Johnson, Chris Johnson and Tiki Barber all-time.
6. In 2010 Randy Moss officially burnt down Revis Island.
7. Matt Ryan needs 93 yards passing to move into 15th place all-time. 
8. Ryan "I went to Purdue" Fitzpatrick needs 255 yards passing to move past Joe Namath for 60th all time. 
9. The 1st half under in prime-time is 3-2 on the year. 
10. And finally, if Brandon Marshall -- who used to play for the Bears but now plays for the HGHawks -- catches one TD pass on Monday night he will pass Calvin Johnson for touchdown receptions in a career (they both currently have 83 TD receptions).

Pick: HGHawks (+3.5)

The Informer's 2018 NFL Picks: Week 1

For those of you that are new to this blog my name is The Informer. I am an overweight middle aged man with a Natty Light problem who watches too much football and loves to gamble. I am also someone who has picked over 50% correct against the spread on NFL games in nine of the last 11 seasons.

Which brings us to why we are here today: Simply put, me and you (aka the readers) are here to make money illegally (and technically in some countries now legally) betting on NFL games while hopefully getting "Jay Culter Wasted" and having a few laughs.

So what is about to happen is I am going to go through every game from Week 1 of the 2018 NFL Season and pick who I think is going to cover the spread (this is not who I think is going to win, this is who is going to "cover" the point spread). And then you the reader will in turn use the information I provided to place illegal wagers and win tons of money.

It literally is that easy.

I watch the football, then I provide the expert winning picks, then you win a stuff ton of money. It is a no lose situation for everyone involved as long as I continue to be one of the best NFL handicappers on the internet (which obviously is going to happen); you keep using the information provided to place wagers (again if you are reading it will happen); and of course the FBI does not arrest any of us for committing illegal acts of gaming (I am not sure that can legally happen in Murica. Can it?).

(The Informer note - I am of course just kidding about making illegal wagers. This is a satire column that provides information/picks that should only be used for recreational purposes. In no way does The Informer, my family, or anyone who believes in Tim Tebow --condone breaking of the law. Seriously, please do not use the picks below to wrongfully make thousands of millions of dollars this season. That would be immoral and illegal.)

Anyways, which means please stop interrupting me with legalities while I am drinking my Natties, now that we all know the basics about why we are here: How about we get to The Informer's Week 1 2018 NFL Picks?

Atlanta Falcons @ Philadelphia Eagles (PK)

Here is The Informer's proof of Thursday Night pick Tweet:

Im taking the Falcons (Pick Em) and the the 1st Half Under 22.5 #TNFBets #FootballIsBack #FlyFalconsFly

— The Informer (@therealinformer) September 6, 2018

Pick: Falcons (Loss) 1st Half Under (Win)

San Francisco 49ers @ Minnesota Vikings (-6)

Is it just me, or does it just feel right starting year 11 off with a fun "Randy Moss is a 1st ballot NFL Hall of Famer fact" that involves both the Minnesota Vikings and the San Francisco 49ers?

Did you know that 20 years ago to the day on September 9th, 1998 the great Randy Moss debuted as an NFL rookie catching four passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns (both  passes from Brad Johnson) while leading the Minnesota Vikings to a 31-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?

Did you also know that six years ago to the day on September 9th, 2012 the great Randy Moss played in his last opening day game catching four passes for 47 yards and one touchdown (from Alex Smith) while leading the San Francisco 49ers to a 30-22 victory over the Green Bay Packers?

"Hey Informer why in the hell are you still blabbing on about Randy Moss? The dude has literally zero to do with this game on Sunday. Could you please for once in your miserable life just do your job and tell us who is going win the Jimmy G vs the former Washington quarterback match up?"

Does that mean you all don't want to hear about how 11 years ago to the day on September 9th, 2007 the great Randy Moss debuted with the New England Patriots catching nine passes for 181 yards and one touchdown while setting the tone for the Pats to become the only team in NFL history to finish a regular season 16-0?

No?

Are you sure?

Okay, fine. If you insist here is my breakdown of the present day 49ers-Vikings game: I am taking the 49ers because Jimmy G has covered in all five of his starts as a 49ers QB so I am going to ride his covering trend until he bucks me.

Pick: 49ers (+6.5)

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns (+3.5)

I am not going to pick the Browns . . . I am not going to pick the Browns . . . I am not going to pick the Browns . . . I am not going to pick the Browns . . . I am not going to pick the Browns.

F***!!!

Am I really gonna pick the Browns?

Would someone please go get me 6-12 more Natties?

#ThisCantBeReal

Pick: Browns (+3.5)

Cincinnati Bengals @ Indianapolis Colts (-2)

Here are five "Bold" Informer predictions involving these two teams:

1.  AJ Green will have 1500+ yards and at least 12 TDs this season.
2.  Andrew Luck will finish Top 5 MVP, and Top 3 fantasy quarterbacks. 
3. Joe Mixon is going to rush for more than 1,300 yards. 
4. Both of these teams are going to go over their Vegas projected win totals (Over/Under for each team is 7 wins).
5. Both of these teams are going to make the Playoffs this season. 

As far as Sunday goes, I'm taking the points because I am not allowed to bet against AJ Green unless I know it is a sure fire win and that I am going to make loads of money doing it. On Sunday, as much as I love having Andrew back, there is nothing is surefire about Luck's first start in almost 2 years; therefore give me the points and lets hope for a Sunday afternoon shootout.

Pick: Bengals (+2)

Buffalo Bills @ Baltimore Ravens (-7.5)

If I watch a single minute of this "2nd floor of a big city apartment fire" the NFL is trying to pass of as an actual abortion; I swear I will give up drinking Natty Light for at least six to seven hours.

Of course, since I am not going to watch this apartment fire, think about this apartment fire, or make any other remarks about this 2nd floor of a big city apartment fire: I figured now would be the perfect time to hand out the Week 1 Blimpies Best meme of the Week:

#ClassicSmokingJayWinsTheInternetAgain.

Pick: Ravens (-7.5)

Jacksonville Jaguars @ New York Giants (+3)

Speaking of not caring . . . I don't care if he did almost beat Tom Brady in the AFC Championship game; the gambling rules still clearly state that a person should never, not even if their is a big city 2nd floor apartment fire, bet on Blake Bortles as a road favorite.

Again, I did not make these rules, I just follow them because I like being right.

Pick: New York Giants (+3)

Houston Texans @ New England Patriots (-6)

"Hey Informer what are these so called rules you speak of?"

You know what? That is a very good question. Sometimes I forget that new people may be reading this blog and not have a full grasp on "Informer drunken gambling 101". Let me try to help y'all understand better by listing 10 of the most hard-fast rules that I follow every single time I place a wager (unless of course I have a "feeling"):

1. Never bet Blake Bortles as a road favorite.
2. Always bet Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers in Primetime.
3. Always bet the 1st half under in primetime.
4. When two shitty teams are playing, take the points.
5. The Browns suck and only a drunken idiot who wants to lose all his money would bet them against Ben Roethlisberger who is 11-2 as a starter in Browns stadium.
6. The Rams are going to be great, bet them while you can.
7. When in doubt, take the best quarterback.
8. Did I mention Tom Brady?
9. If 80% of the public is betting one way, you bet the other way. Don't ask questions.
10. And finally, when all else fails, get "Jay Cutler Wasted" and bet with reckless abandon.

Pick: Patriots (-6)

Tampa Bay @ New Orleans Saints (-10)

I am taking the New Orleans Saints in all five of my NFL survivor polls. Which of course means the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to some how win on Sunday. Which also of course means a smart person -- and if you are reading this blog we know you are the smartest of the smart - - would grab the 10 points and laugh their way to the bookies office.

Pick: Tampa Bay (+10)

Tennessee Titans @ Miami Dolphins (+1)

If someone said "Hey Informer what do you love more: Derrick Henry or Blimpies?" I would obviously say Blimpies. But I am not gonna lie, I would have to think about it for a split second. That is how great I think the beast from Alabama is going to be this year. In fact, I have so much faith in Henry rushing for 1,700 yards this season that I am going to make the Tennessee Titans my Week 1 Lion King Lock of the Week.

Lock it in.

Pick: LKLOTW Titans (-1)

Kansas City Chiefs @ Los Angeles Chargers (-3.5)

Q: What did the Chargers defense say when the Chiefs quarterback fell on top of them?

A: Get off of me Mahomes . . . #

With literally zero context behind it, this joke slays me every time.

#LongLiveMahomes

Pick: Chiefs (+3.5)

Seattle Seahawks @ Denver Broncos (-3)

Dallas Cowboys @ Carolina Panthers (-3)

Washington Redskins @ Arizona Cardinals (-1.5)

As the rules say, when in doubt always take the team with the better quarterback.

Pick: Seahawks (+3) Panthers (-3) & Washington (-1.5)

Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers (-7)

Aaron Rodgers at home in Primtime . . . Aaron Rodgers at home in Primtime . . . Aaron Rodgers at home in Primtime . . . Aaron Rodgers at home in Primtime . . . Aaron Rodgers at home in Primtime . . .Aaron Rodgers at home in Primtime . . . Aaron Rodgers at home in Primtime . . . Aaron Rodgers at home in Primtime . . . Aaron Rodgers at home in Primtime . . . Aaron Rodgers at home in Primtime . . .Aaron Rodgers at home in Primtime . . . Aaron Rodgers at home in Primtime . . . Aaron Rodgers at home in Primtime . . . Aaron Rodgers at home in Primtime . . . Aaron Rodgers at home in Primtime . . . Aaron Rodgers at home in Primtime . . . AARON RODGERS AT HOME IN PRIMETIME!!!

I hope I am not being to subtle with this one.

Pick: Packers (-7)

New York Jets @ Detroit Lions (-6.5)

A New York Jets rookie quarterback on the road during Monday Night Football in his first ever NFL game and he is giving less than a touchdown? Am I being Punk'd right now? Is Ashton Kutcher running a prank on me? Do people remember Punk'd? Or who Ashton Kutcher is? How many questions about Ashton Kutcher is too many before the readers stop reading this blog? Is there any chance in hell there are still people reading? Should I post a link to a Pam Anderson having marital relations video just to see if anyone is still here? Do people still watch videos like that? Hell, do people still know who Pam Anderson is? Maybe I should go with a Paris Hilton video? Then again, do people still know who Paris Hilton is?

"Dear Gawd Informer . . . Please no more questions. Just give us your pick and wrap this thing up."

Okay, as I said above, I am taking the Lions (-6.5) because I don't think Ashton Kutcher exists anymore. Which means there is no way this is a prank. Instead it is a gift sent straight from the Gambling Tebow's to make us all rich.

Pick: Lions (-6.5)

Los Angeles Rams @ Oakland Raiders (+4)

Follow the rules and bet the Rams now before it is too late.

Pick: Rams (-4)

That is all folks. Merry NFL Sunday Funday Christmas. May your day be filled with winning parlays, Natty Lights and all the Blimpies money can buy.

See you next week.

The Informer's 2018 Fantasy Football Preview: Snake Draft #1

Last night in my never ending quest to help you the reader draft the perfect NFL Fantasy Football team, I took part in my first 2018 "Snake/Live" draft on Yahoo sports dot com. It was a standard 10-team, one point per reception, league where a person starts a QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, FLEX, FLEX, Kicker and a Defense.

For those who are new to fantasy football (Where have you been? And why are you reading a fantasy football article?), a "Snake/Live" draft is where everyone gets to chose a player based on a draft order starting with the #1 pick and ending with the #10 pick. Then the guy who had the #10 pick in the previous round gets the 1st pick in the next round. 

I know it sounds confusing, but really it is not. Basically the guy with the 1st pick in round one then has the last pick in round two and then the 1st pick in round three. This changing order continues throughout the draft. 

Like I said, its not really confusing at all. 

Now, before we delve into the results of the draft, I would like to point out that this was an actual "paid" money league. That means this was a real draft, with real people and real money at stake. So rest assured there were no shenanigans, or people "Drafting Blake Bortles number one overall because they follow Blake Bortles facts on Twitter". 

No, the results you are about to read are legit as Frankie Munoz. 

On that note, here are the results from The Informer's first Yahoo snake draft of the 2018 NFL fantasy football season.

(The Informer note -- For this draft I drew the lucky #9, which means I had picks 9, 12, 29, 32, 49, 52, 69, 72, 89,92, 109, 112 and four other late round selections.)

ROUND 1 (Pick #9): WR Odell Beckham Jr

With running backs and Antonio Brown going with the first eight picks my choice here was either Odell Bekham Jr. or Julio Jones. In other words I was choosing between a Blimpie Best on Italian bread, or a Blimpie Best on wheat bread. 

In this draft I choose the O.D.B. because I already have Julio on three other teams and I just happened to be craving wheat bread when it was my time to select. 

ROUND 2 (Pick #12): WR A.J. Green

I definitely had plenty of options with this pick, but in my mind no matter what happened I was either drafting Leonard Fournette or A.J. Green. When it came time to choose I went with Green because he is my favorite player. 

ROUND 3 (Pick #29): QB Aaron Rodgers

I know  . . . I know  . . . YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DRAFT A QUARTERBACK IN THE EARLY ROUNDS!!!!

In my defense, Aaron Rodgers was the best player on the board when it came to the 29th pick. Sure I could have reached on a running back like Joe Mixon (not a bad reach), or I could have drafted a third WR like Tyreek Hill (again not a bad option); but in my mind I went the safe route and picked a guy who is guaranteed to be a fantasy stud every single week.

Remember drafting is all about getting the best value, and when the season ends I am willing to bet that my third round selection will score more points than any other third round selection. That makes taking a QB early in the draft worth it if you ask me.

ROUND 4 (Pick #32):  TE Travis Kelce

Travis Kelce or Derrick Henry? That was the question I was facing early in the fourth round. I choose Kelce because Henry was ranked #54 overall by Yahoo, so I was rolling the dice that he would still be on the board when I picked in the 5th round with the #49 pick. 

ROUND 5 (Pick #49): RB Derrick Henry

I am going to be very honest; if I would have missed out on Henry here, then this draft would have been a complete bust. Luckily, the fantasy Tebow's were on my side and I was able to draft the guy who is going to lead the league in rushing yards in 2018. 

ROUND 6 (Pick #52): TE Jim Graham

Jim Graham is going to be Aaron Rodgers' favorite receiver this season; which means adding him as one of my flex options in the sixth round was a no-brainer. 

ROUND 7 (Pick #69): QB Cam Newton

I'll explain this pick more in a second.

ROUND 8 (Pick #72): RB Marlon Mack

Marlon Mack is going to be a starting running back in the NFL this season. And, well, since I need to start two running backs on my "fantasy" team; I figured I better draft a second guy who is actually going to be a starter on a "real life" team. Also, I think Mack has a ton of upside is Andre Luck stays healthy in 2018. 

Hey, speaking of Andrew Luck . . .

ROUND 9 (Pick #89): QB Andrew Luck

So you all are probably asking: "Why in the hell would The Informer draft three QBs in a league where you only start one?" 

Well . . . Here is my reasoning: In the ninth round I could have had my choice between rookies we know nothing about (Kerryon Johnson, Nick Chub, etc...), older stars we hope have one more season left (Jordy Nelson/Sam Watkins) or a back up running back (Tarik Cohen). 

Or, I could draft Andrew Luck and give myself two extra fantasy studs (Luck & Newton) who I can use as trade chips to try and get the stud WR/RB who was not available in the 9th round.

As you can see, I decided to go with option "stud trade chips". 

Remember folks, fantasy football is not over once your draft is over. Sometimes you need to play the long-con game and hope that a desperate sucker comes along later to reward your strategy. That is what I am doing here. If I can turn Cam or Luck into a stud later in the season then my strategy will pay off with a fantasy championship.

ROUND 10 (Pick #92): RB Isaiah Crowell

Isaiah Crowell may not be the Jenna Jameson of the fantasy football world (aka a sexy pick), but he is a starting running back that I was able to draft in the 10th round. 

ROUND 11 (Pick #109): RB Nick Chubb

ROUND 12 (Pick #112): WR Randal Cobb

ROUND 13: RB Matt Breida

ROUND 14: WR Calvin Ridley

Two rookies, an older WR who plays with Aaron Rodgers and a running back who is getting really good "camp" reviews. That is why I drafted Chubb, Ridley, Cobb and Breida. These are all lottery tickets that I am hoping turn into something. 

ROUND 15: Los Angeles Chargers

I drafted the Chargers for two reasons:

1) This league mandates that you draft a least one defense.

2) I drank one to many Natty Lights during the draft and thought I was drafting the Los Angeles Rams, not the San Diego Bosa's. 

ROUND 16: Cowboys Kicker

Its a kicker. 

CONCLUSION:

If you ask me the Rodgers, Henry, Mack, Beckham, Green, Kelce, Graham, Crowell, Chargers & Kicker is a winning lineup. Most weeks I am going to have the best QB, the two best WRs, & the two best TEs in any match up. And if Henry is fantasy gold like I suspect, and I am able to turn Newton or Luck into a stud, then this will turn out to be one of the best teams I draft all year. 

In the end if this roster comes through like I think it will I stand to make a profit of $65. Time to go find another house to flip team to draft.
