I put one real stat behind every pick. NBA, NFL and NHL cheat sheets daily, graded the next morning, losses and all. Record's pinned. 21+ Bet responsibly.
I miscounted Friday. NBA 11/06 was 5–2, not the 6–2 I posted.
📊 Week of 11/03–11/09: 52–19
🏀 NBA 30–11
11/04 9–6
11/05 7–0
11/06 5–2
11/07 4–1
11/09 5–2
🏈 NFL 12–6
TNF 2–1
Sunday 5–5
MNF 5–0
🏈 NCAAF 11/07 5–2
🏀 NCAAB 11/03 5–0
That's 71 picks with every miss counted and no voids. TNF includes the Tuten rushing pick that only ran on the reel, and it lost. Sunday's 1 PM sheet went 0–3. Taylor, Gibbs and Nabers all came up short.
Which day would you have faded?

@Suns@BannerHealth Maluach's minutes keep creeping up. He's played 18 to 22 in each of the last four, scored 11 against both the Spurs and Clippers, and grabbed 10 boards against Houston. Does he start tonight or is it Ighodaro?
3 more for tonight, 7 total:
🟢 NYG Isaiah Likely 20+ REC YDS
🟢 WSH Antonio Williams 15+ REC YDS
🟢 Under 49.5
Likely caught 11 passes against this Washington defense in October, and Williams has 15+ yards in all 8 of his games. Then there's the rain.

Stop fading Stefon Diggs. He's cleared 33 yards in all 7 of his games.
🏈 TNF 11/12 cheat sheet, 4 plays (WSH at NYG)
🟢 WSH Stefon Diggs 15+ REC YDS
🟢 NYG Cam Skattebo 40+ RUSH YDS
🟢 NYG Malik Nabers 30+ REC YDS
🟢 WSH Chig Okonkwo 15+ REC YDS
It's pouring at MetLife and they cleared the field during warmups, so I went with low numbers on purpose. Washington has McLaurin and Dyami Brown on IR, which leaves Diggs as the most proven wideout Daniels has. Honestly that's the part I like more than the streak.
Skattebo's active. He's had at least 12 carries in all six games he's played, and he ran for 59 on this defense in October before going for 124 at Houston. A wet night only helps him.
Nabers has seen 8 or more targets in four straight. Washington's allowed 240 passing yards a game and he caught 11 for 121 on them last month. Okonkwo's gone 60, 69, 32 and 57 in his last four, and tight end Colson Yankoff is inactive.
I left the game line alone. Three of these need a wet ball to get caught, and that's a real risk. I'd rather say it than hide it.
Diggs or Nabers, who has more yards tonight?

@UnderdogNFL That's two missed games already, Atlanta and Vegas. He'd put up 420 yards and 3 touchdowns on 39 targets in the six he played, and the Niners won all six. They're in Dallas on Sunday. If he sits again, who gets those six or seven looks a game?
Correction on post 2 of this thread: Treylon Burks is active tonight. I had him listed as out and that was wrong. McLaurin and Dyami Brown are still on IR, so I'd keep the Okonkwo flex, but he's got more competition for targets than I said.
@NFLonPrime Two road wins so far. He threw for 252 at Houston, then Philly sacked him five times and held him to 127, and the Giants still won. Washington's the part I can't figure out, because they only got to Winston twice on 54 throws in October. Does he get that pocket tonight?
@KCJHoop He only played 15 minutes against San Antonio last night and still scored 15 on 5-of-7. That's 18.9 a game on 16 shots a night, and I don't see who on that roster picks them up. Chicago's already lost the last eight he played. Who's your guess?
Nobody tells you Kirill Kaprizov has a point in 18 of his 20 games.
🏒 NHL 11/12 cheat sheet, 7 plays
🟢 MIN Kirill Kaprizov 1+ PT
🟢 MIN Matt Boldy 2+ SOG
🟢 WPG Kyle Connor 2+ SOG
🟢 NJD Jack Hughes 1+ PT
🟢 BOS David Pastrnak 3+ SOG
🟢 DAL Jason Robertson 2+ SOG
🟢 COL Nathan MacKinnon 2+ SOG
Eighteen of 20! Boldy's had 2+ shots in 19 of 20 himself, which is why I'm fine doubling up on Minnesota in Toronto. Connor has 2+ shots in all 19 of his games and put seven on net against New Jersey on Tuesday, so I'm not getting cute with him in Dallas.
Hughes has 12 points in his last six games and he played 25 minutes on Tuesday. Pastrnak's had 3+ shots in 15 of 18. He's the riskiest rung on here and I'd rather say it than hide it.
Robertson's at 2+ shots in 15 of 17 and MacKinnon's at 15 of 19. Low rungs, I know. I'd rather cash.
Kaprizov or Hughes, who gets more points tonight?

Stop betting against Cooper Flagg. He scored 43 on Monday and he's 19.
🏀 NBA 11/12 cheat sheet, 9 plays
🟢 DAL Cooper Flagg 17+ PTS
🟢 PHX Devin Booker 18+ PTS
🟢 PHI Tyrese Maxey 4+ AST
🟢 DET Cade Cunningham 6+ AST
🟢 DET Duncan Robinson 2+ 3PM
🟢 DET ML (at WSH)
🟢 MIN Rudy Gobert 8+ REB
🟢 MIN Ayo Dosunmu 12+ PTS
🟢 MIN LaMelo Ball 2+ 3PM
Flagg's cleared 17 in six straight and Dallas has played him 39 or 40 minutes in four of those six, so I'm not scared of Minnesota. Booker gets a Charlotte team missing Brandon Miller, Knueppel and Schroder, and he's had 24 or more in five of his last six anyway.
LeBron's out for Philly, so I think the ball lives in Maxey's hands against a Toronto team that played last night. Washington played in Indiana last night too, which is why I'm on Detroit three times. Cade had 7 assists on them Monday in 27 minutes and Robinson hit four threes.
Minnesota's still without Edwards, and Dosunmu's played 30+ minutes in six straight because of it. LaMelo has made at least three 3s in five of those six. Gobert's grabbed 10+ boards in five in a row with Lively out for Dallas, and honestly that's the one I trust most.
Flagg or Booker, who scores more tonight?

@NBA Kyrie had 7 turnovers to 4 assists against Indiana on Monday and still put up 35 in a three-point win. Flagg's been the one feeding people lately, he had 12 assists against Brooklyn on Sunday. So who's running the offense late tonight?
@UnderdogNBA A month is nine games on what's scheduled so far, and the next four are all on the road, starting in San Antonio tomorrow night. Golden State had won eight straight before he walked off in Houston. I don't see who replaces 27.8 a night. Who's your guess?
@FantasyProsNFL@koslow_ari The Jets scored 12 at Kansas City without him last week. He had 43 catches on 63 targets for 527 yards in the eight games before that, and Buffalo comes to town Sunday. You think he clears the protocol in time, or do I plan around him sitting?
@JFowlerESPN Messy just makes it more of a Skattebo game. He went 17 for 124 at Houston his last time out, and without him Sunday the Giants gave Singletary 21 carries and got 31 yards back. McCarthy's high is 28 pass attempts. Does he even get to 25 tonight?
Recap: I'm starting Skattebo, Nabers and Daniels. Okonkwo's my flex. White sits. And check the 6:45 inactives before you set anything, because both Giants were on the injury report this week.
Winston threw Nabers 20 targets last time. How many from McCarthy?
🏈 FLEX Chig Okonkwo
6 for 57 on 7 targets last game. He went 7 for 69 at San Francisco, and he put up 4 for 60 on the Giants in October. With McLaurin and Burks out somebody's got to catch passes, and lately that's been him. I'd flex him.
