Ira Kaufman’s Week 15 NFL Picks

December 16th, 2017

Joe has challenged Ira Kaufman, Tampa Bay’s only Hall of Fame voter, to pick against the spread this season for a $500 prize. Every Friday, Ira types out his picks for each Sunday and Monday game. If Ira hits at 53 percent or better for the regular season, then he gets $500 in gift cards to Abe’s Place in Clearwater, home of historically amazing food and 44 craft beers on tap. Feel free to send Ira your stone cold locks on Twitter, @ikaufman76. The sage of Tampa Bay sports always appreciates a tip.

BY IRA KAUFMAN

FANTASY PODCAST: Kamara, Cam, Ertz & More

December 15th, 2017
 Thank you sir, may I have another. Yes, Todd has yet another podcast for you today. This one specifically looks at the dreaded injury report.
.
Good news for Kamara and Ertz owners, bad news for Hopkins and Fournette owners. Todd also discusses the fantasy impact of Cam Newton, who is really the “other” QB in this week’s matchup against the Packers. However, he’s still viewed as a Top Five play and that’s because of those legs and how much they mean in standard scoring leagues. Remember, Todd is always available when he’s not playing golf, sleeping or taping segments for Bay News 9’s new Spectrum Sports 360 show to give you opinions on your specific fantasy rosters at ToddWrightFantasyFootball@gmail.com.
