That is the big question, isn’t it?  For some of us, this week is the chance to win all the marbles. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably spent entirely too much time this week staring at your team willing the universe to give you some hint at optimal lineups.  We all know that the cardinal sin of fantasy football is overthinking it.  Reading 52 websites that assure you that your matchups are favorable will not affect the outcome of your game.  I mean, I sort of believe that.

I can tell you what WILL happen.  I am celebrating Christmas with my dad’s side of the family today.  At some point, I will yell, “I don’t give a shit about the Packers, will somebody just turn to the fucking Red Zone channel already?  I have important games going!” At which point my dad will have his feelings hurt, make me apologize profusely, and then remind me for the rest of my life that I uttered those words.

I may also have a nervous breakdown if Drew Brees does not play the entire game.  However, it’s not like he gave us “played the whole game” points last week, so maybe that will not be a problem.

My advice to you is this: Trust your instincts, do what you always do, make the final call, do not start any Colts, and step away from the computer.

Check out Carl’s pick this week.

A bold choice, don’t you think?  I realize it’s a must win and that they’re favored, I just don’t see it happening. I’m going to go with Baltimore over Pittsburgh as my other upset of the week. There are just too many injuries for the Steelers.
