if it makes you feel better, the only way i could win this week in my pickem is if the chiefs won with the under

Why would that make me feel any better

---

well, i like it when i win money

---

I hope harrison butker and his entire family [redacted]

---

Extha what was the over line for you?

---

Guess all that talk about Butker being the best kicker was premature.

---

The over/under ended at 55, it looks like... And they are at 54 points.

517 yards to 229 yards... This game was a thorough whipping all the way through.

• Line: BAL -3.5

Over/Under: 55

---

I got it at 53.5

whoo

---

---

Aaaahahahahahahaha

Brutal :O

So my No Chance scenario of Tyreek Hill outscoring Lamar Jackson and the KC kicker came true.

3-0 whoooo

I cannot believe I am going to miss this over because of a missed PAT

Well, technically you're missing it because of that and he also missed a 42-yard field goal. (Tucker still best kicker in the league)

Watching the pregame ESPN pulled a Crew Curse on the Ravens so really the result was decided before it even began.

Titans have the first outbreak of the season

AFC South division champs I'll take it

---

Vikings shutting down as well.

Uh oh.

Uh oh.

Vikings got a head start on the COVID outbreak by shutting down three weeks early.

---

So what even is the protocol for the outbreak? Do both teams intended to play get a bye or what?

---

I think the protocol will be the entire week will be canceled, based on wikipedia:

Using contingencies similar to those built into the 2011 schedule in the event that season's lockout lasted into September, the 2020 schedule was designed to allow for the possibility that the season could be delayed and shortened in the event that conditions were unsafe to begin play as scheduled. Every game in Week 2 featured teams which share the same bye week later in the season, which would have allowed these games to be made up on the teams' original byes. Weeks 3 and 4 were set up so that there were no divisional rivalry games and that every team with a home game in Week 3 will be on the road in Week 4 and vice versa. This would have allowed the NFL to cancel two weeks without eliminating any divisional games and keeping each team's home and away games balanced. These scheduling changes, along with eliminating the week off before the Super Bowl and moving the Super Bowl back three weeks, would have allowed the NFL to play a 14-game schedule beginning October 29 while still having the Super Bowl in February.

---

Well, I kept thinking baseball was going to get canceled and it survived, so we'll see.

One of the advantages the NFL has is they have a few days before the next game to isolate the positives and then test everyone else a dozen times each.

But if 25 members of a team have it for over 3 weeks like the Cardinals did they are in a lot of trouble.

---

Looking like the games are going to go on as planned.

---

Did they announce what players are out though?

I've not seen a list of players yet

Also Mark Rypien's nephew has been given the privilege of beating the Jets Thursday

---

Actually, I just realized by HIPPA the may not be able to reveal who is sick unless it's by their own volition. So uh, buckle up fantasy players.

---

Wouldn't they still have to list them on the injury report? It might not say COVID, but they'll be on there.
---

Yeah, they'll have to be listed on the injury report one way or the other.

---

Doing a bit of research, it looks like there's a category called Non-Injury Related, which I presume they'll all fall under.

---

"Illness"

---

They've added 3 players to the injured list so I assume its those 3. A DT, long snapper, and backup TE.

---

I got curious... The Giants and Jets now reside at 31 and 32 in ESPN's power rankings, as I believe they should.

But I still find it humorous~

if you can make it here you can make it... just here, really

---

The Jets and Giants have scored a combined 75 points through 3 weeks, which is less than what 17 teams have done on their own.

---

Titans-Steelers postponed, potentially to be played Monday or Tuesday.

Fantasy teams everywhere in shambles

---

Yikes. I have players on both.

---

Joke's on the NFL, the only player on either I have is AJ Brown

Oh right my Titans player is Brown too so that doesn't matter.

But I still have Conner!

---

Specifically, one additional player on the Titans tested positive. It's all but assured the week is lost if it happens again.

They might still play Tuesday Night Football..

---

I had Corey Davis so I guess I give Devonta Freeman a shot to do better this week.

Can players score negative points in fantasy?

---

I mean it's Freeman, DeSean Jackson who is hurt every game, Greg Olsen, or Devin Duvernay who I'm holding onto until he starts to get more play because he's awesome.

My bench is ruff dude.

---

Meow.

I have never fallen into fantasy sports in general. I know what it would do to my OCD.

---

and this is why I'm glad I sat out fantasy for the year

---

I've got Henry in one league, but I have a whole lot of depth since its an 8 teamer. Still gonna be rough for a matchup that was projected to be close.

Then I've got Conner in another league where I'm already down Carson and have zero RB depth. I have WR2's in my WR5 slot in that league but can't make a trade for a RB even at a loss to save my life.
