RussMan Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 If the Lions show up they should leave Chitown with the victory. You would have thought that the Bears would have learned something after last years qb fiasco. They didnt. The only thing that could keep the Lions from winning is Mooch's conservative WCO or that Hanson wont be available to kick (field goals and field position) in what looks like will be a low scoring and ugly game. Is anyone desperate enough to start any Lions or Bears on their fantasy team this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Man Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 No. I'm leaving Harrington and Hanson on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Knight Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I'm not starting anyone on either team. It should be low scoring, da Bears D will prevail and will be the victors. The Dark Knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I think Thomas Jones is a good start. I'll believe the Detroit defense is that much improved when they put it together on the road a few times. Likewise, Kevin Jones should be a solid start for his owners, too.

whitem0nkey Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I think benson should get 5-7 carries this game......Just a guess..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampnuts Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 It's hard to get a reading on this game IMO. I've got to decide if I'm going to use Roy Williams. They threw his way a bunch last game, I just fear another 10-6 type game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I'm starting Detroit D in a league. 994379[/snapback] ditto, this should be a good week for the Lions D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 The Bears don't roll their corners at any one WR, so it's a good match-up for Williams IMO. I must decide in my local between him and Chambers, but Roy has a height advantage on Vasher, and they are team mates from Texas, so that should be an interesting little side bet they've got going. I wonder what the stakes are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrappy1 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 (edited) I hear Charles Rogers has a gimpy ankle now. Any Lions homers know what her deal is? Edited September 16, 2005 by Skrappy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Lion Fans are going to think I am a horrible fan but I look at every game objectively. I think it comes from betting all these years. but I think the Bears are the pick of the week bettingwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTen Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I hear Charles Rogers has a gimpy ankle now. Any Lions homers know what her deal is? 994598[/snapback] I have heard that he is probable for the Bears game. Problem is that they only targeted him twice last week. One ball was overthrown and the other went for 37 yards during their last TD drive. The need to start targeting him more, if not why have him on the team. Twice a game is not right.

Pitbull739 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Kevin Jones going in one league, Roy Williams in another. Benson on my bench, I am hoping to see some more carries this week so he turns up the trade bait for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Chi is MUCH more likely to stick to their running game, which was one facet where GB was having success (hence Rossley and Sherman decided to throw 40+ times in a close game). Kitties go down and create a 3-way tie in 1st place (because GB beats Cle and the Vikes lose) - get used to all 4 North teams being within two games of each other and hoping to get above .500.

Big Score 1 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Playing Detroit's D is a No Brainer, considering that disaster in Chicago, which they affectionately call an Offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I'm starting K Jones and benching Rogers (hurt) and Benson (not enough participation). I do think the Bears have a better than average shot in this one because, as was pointed out above, Detroit were very unimpressive against GB, who did everything they could to lose last week.

Doc Holliday Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I took the under in the betting league... 997359[/snapback] the under is at 33.5 right now....that is a scary line to me. I would not touch that 1. but if I was I would go the over. I expect some defensive TD's in this game and for both teams to run well.

FredGSanford Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 LIONS 8 BEARS 5 Lions win on a last second Remy Hamilton field goal. Hooray! You couldn't pay me to watch that garbage tomorrow. To quote Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack, this game will be "low grade dog food". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
