I’ve always loved prospects. The way you can dream on a player becoming the next Willie Mays or Fernando Valenzuela, it’s always so tantalizing to see these young players get their feet under them and either struggle or get hot in their first days in the Show. There’s a certain purity about these players, and I’ve called them unspoiled fruit many times.

Last year up cropped the Twitter handle Fantasy Receipts, to remind us fantasy football analysts about our takes that went awry. As if we don’t already beat ourselves up enough when we’re wrong. I looked at a My Guys article that I wrote in August, where in January I wanted to point at myself and laugh on a couple of predictions.

It’s here. Chiefs-Eagles. The obscure information that has been coming through is bordering on mind-boggling. Tails has lost the coin flip three years in a row. The white jerseys have won the Super Bowl 15 of the past 18 games. Oh yeah, there are so many ways to bet the game that it’s beyond comprehension.

I always loved a great boxing match growing up. Mike Tyson’s fights were usually executions for his opponent. Until he met up with Buster Douglas. Leonard-Hearns was a classic. Hearns-Hagler, I still rewatch it sometimes for the sheer action in three rounds. Ali-Frazier III, I was too young to see it live, but thankfully YouTube has preserved the sheer brutality of as amazing a slugfest as there has ever been. And there’s the Rocky movies. Gotta love a great boxing match for cinema.

What would you say if I gave you a weekend where every game was a thriller? Where there was a combination of shootouts and hard-knuckle backyard brawls that left both teams spent and slumped on their stools. That was the Divisional Round in 2021.

One of the things that is hard to quantify when predicting what’s going to happen in an NFL game from a fantasy and betting perspective is the human factor. These players are paid handsomely, and the best of the best know what their demeanor needs to be any given Sunday. But there are times that these men are met with situations that call for something greater that comes from inside. And a new level may be reached from that.

Familia, I know it’s cold in most of the country. We’ve even gotten way over the regular allotment of rain that we’re used to here in California. But now that we’re in the playoffs, it’s a great time to break out the indoor grill and get some carne asada sizzling and into some tacos so you can enjoy the games.

You hear about it all the time. Teams sneak into the playoffs as the sixth seed, get hot at the right time and win three games to get a title. I did that last year and because of injuries I fielded a team with Taysom Hill at QB and Jaret Patterson as my RB2, and they both balled out to win me a ‘ship.

Every decision counts this week. You’ve heard the stories of the razor-thin margins that teams have won and lost championships past. I once lost a title to a tie-breaker. And won a title by two points. Another time I was up against prime Emmitt Smith, who looked like he was on his way to a big game when he suffered a minor injury in the first half of his Monday Night football game. I coasted to a title when he was ruled out at halftime.
