[Still time to get in our $5 league before tomorrow]

2

The Jimmah tag returns. Jimmah: always and forever.

The title suggests this will be another post making fun of NFL beat writers; negatory. This is the latest game with fantasy partner Draft Kings that we're collectively collecting in, a $5 NFL league with a $400k prize pool.

There's just one pick I will stand behind: the Bears benched Cutler this week, meaning good ol' Jimmah is gonna start against Ndamukong Suh and the Lions. For $3100 fake draft dollars you can have the Lions' defense. For $5 real dollars you can have another bracket and take the Lions again.

Details:

-$400,000 prize pool
- First place wins $50,000
- $5 entry fee
- Top 18,995 are paid.
- Starts on Sunday, December 21st at 1:00 EST
- Salary Cap Style Drafting. $50,000 to select 9 spots. 8 players and 1 defense
- Roster Format: 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex and 1 Defense
- First time depositors at DraftKings receive a 100% bonus up to $600

I played fantasy baseball on draftkings, but havn't tried football as I think baseball has an actually strategy as football is more luck.  But after the baseball season I cashed out and was surprised how quick I got payed.  They use paypal and I cashed out at 6PM and got payed on paypal by 10AM the next day.  Never had any issues with them.

I use draftkings a ton for football only, and have pulled out about $2k over a few different paypal transactions.  Very prompt and seamless.  I think football has quite a bit of skill to it.  Admittedly there's a little luck in who gets the TD, but with yards and receptions, there's enough stats to balance it out and make it more skill base.  With some modest research, it's not that hard to consistently win on draftkings and fanduel.  The keys I've found are trying to find a cheap QB that can muster up a 250/2TD day, and paying close attention to injuries.  Backup RBs and WRs can be gold.

 

The Lions do seem like an obvious defense choice this week.  Even with Cutler they would have been, given his propensity to throw INTs.

The game against ND that that gif is from was one of the funnest games I went to in undergrad. IIRC we won 210-0 and sacked Jimmah 84 times. Chants of "JIM-MY CLAU-SEN" rang out late in the game as the fanbase recovered a little of swagger after the back-to-back humiliations of The Horror and Spreadmageddon against Dennis Dixon.
