It’s Week 13, which means playoffs are right around the corner! Bo, Tuvey and magsh give you all the info you need to get those lineups in tip-top shape to ensure you get in the playoffs, secure a bye, or…set good DFS lineups if your squad’s already in the tank. Bo’s got some great stats about men in a box, or maybe it’s “the” box, plus we chat extensively about dinosaurs. Oh, and we provide some excellent plug-n-play options if you’re dealing with injuries or bye weeks. Stay classy.

The tie put him at 2-1-1 for the week, a game better than Tony, who took a chance on the respective defenses of Arizona and Minnesota. While that let him down, he did hit the Bucs’ upset against Kansas City, keeping his bank for the week at a manageable loss.
Tuvey, Bo and magsh break down the week 12 slate–including three Thanksgiving day games–plus dish up a huge portion of exclusive stats from Bo, a dollop of regrets from week 11, a side of injury news, and your must-add waiver wire guys for dessert on our probably, eventually, award-winning 50/50 segment. Thanks for listening, and Happy Thanksgiving!
Mixed bag in week 11. That’s okay – if you didn’t have the good sense to stop paying attention to our picks in this segment seven, eight weeks ago, that’s your fault, not ours.
Wow – an honest-to-God good week for all of us. We combined for a 45-11 mark in week 11 – for some it’s not going to make up for the first 10 weeks, but it should ensure we all at least break the .500 mark for the season.
John Vomhof and, for the first time, Andy, led the way with 12 correct.
Here are the standings.
