Lions grab first win, 64 fantasy points

The Cowboys line is up to dallas(+6)NYJETS, which is how I would play it, were I in a country where gambling is legal. I asked one of our interpreters if trannys were legal in Afghanistan, and it turns out they aren't either.

But yeah, Dallas lost a lot of games last year, but most of them were pretty damn close. Unless the Jets completely dominate, I don't see them winning by that much. +6 seems ludicrous to me.

On the other hand, Black Francis has Romo, Austin and Witten going against me in fantasy, so I suppose I end up pulling for the Jets, since I can't lay any green the other way. Or trannys, speaking of the other way...

I'd rather not jinx myself, but right now I'm projected to score a league high 181, and win by 30+, with my best player on the bench. Ray Rice was riding a 4 game suck streak vs. the Steelers, but right now he has 107 yards rushing, four catches for 42 yards, and two TDs, so I guess that streak is over. Too bad he's on my bench.

On the other hand, I benched Ben Roethlisberger for Matthew Stafford, and so far that has gotten me 23 more points than I would have had with Big Ben, so arguably my bold moves will work out to a wash, depending on what Mike Tolbert gets me in the 4:00 game.

The Ravens have been having their way with the Steelers all day, and are about to close out a 35-7 victory. The Lions are down to the 2:00 warning with a 27-13 lead at Tampa Bay, though the Bucs are threatening.

Ugh. Freeman to Mike Williams on 4th and goal from the five, and the Bucs are within a score. Calvin Johnson recovered the ensuing onside kick, but the Lions do absolutely nothing with their posession (other than make TB burn timeouts) and now the Bucs have the ball, with 1:07 and 80 yards between them and overtime.

:16 to go, and the Bucs are around midfield.

Not sure how it ended, but the Lions held on. I'm going to bed.
