to beat the Chiefs on Sunday night Womens Leonard Floyd Jersey , and that might be a little surprising, considering that the Chiefs are 5-0 and the Patriots are 3-2. But if that does surprise you, perhaps you don’t know just how commonplace it is for the Patriots to be favored with Tom Brady at quarterback.Sunday’s game is the 56th consecutive game (counting playoffs) with Brady as quarterback that the Patriots have been favored, which is an all-time record, according to ESPN.Brady’s record breaks that of Kurt Warner, whose Rams were favored in 55 consecutive games from 1999 to 2003. Before Warner the record belonged to Steve Young, whose 49ers were favored in 44 straight games from 1994 to 1996 Eric Kush Jersey , and before that the record was held by Joe Montana, whose 49ers were favored in 37 consecutive games from 1989 to 1993.When will the Patriots’ streak end? It could end as soon as next week, with the Patriots visiting Chicago. If the Bears blow out the Dolphins on Sunday the way they did the Buccaneers in their previous game, and if the Patriots lose to the Chiefs, it’s possible that the Bears could be favored over the Patriots, and that Brady’s streak could come to an end. As we enter the championship week, I just have to share a bad beat story. I’ve suffered from more than my fair share of random fantasy football variance this year http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-roquan-smith-jersey , but here is a cautionary tale of self-inflicted wounds. After drafting Derrick Henry last year in a keeper league, I held onto the talented but underachieving back all season. Excited to have great value on the Titan, I rolled him out in the early weeks of the season. Despite his underwhelming performance, my team was holding up just fine, but Henry found his way to my bench, then the end of my bench. Finally, in mid-October I dropped him for... Tre’Quan Smith. Oh...Henry sat on waivers for a few weeks and was snatched up for a fringe playoff team. At this point Womens Eddie Goldman Jersey , my squad was cruising after some solid trades, en route to a first round bye. Well, the Henry bill came due last week and I was defeated by that fringe playoff team on the strength of Henry’s 36 points. What’s worse is that when I gave up on him, I also lost the keeper opportunity. Maybe this is another late season tease by Henry - I’ll give you that - but what if the Titans are finally figuring out who they are? I had Henry as my RB14 in the preseason and he’s currently sitting in 12th... even though pretty much all of those points came in the last two weeks. The point is that you never know where these explosions might come from and keeping a couple spots reserved for talented players with a path to touches is a good idea even if they’ve been disappointing for one reason or another.WCG Tourney UpdateWe’re down to the last week and the final 10 fantasy football owners looking to win their divisions and the ultimate title of fantasy football champion. We have two writers that have made it to their respective championships (and for the record, my team exploded for 160+ last week, dominating the 5th place game...). Here are the combatants: Halas Division - WhiskeyRanger (Midway Turf Monsters) vs Champaign Cubbies (Password is Taco)Payton Division - Usmcbears (Miller High Lites) vs burrka (Bear Down!)Sayers Division - nachoman45 (Hurricane Ditka) vs Griot28 (Punching Peanuts)Ditka Division - Sam Householder (On a Winning Tarik) vs stellarpete22 (Hold My Ditka)Butkus Division - H20HOF (Nathaniel’s Team) vs beardown4ever (Miller Time)No offense to WhiskeyRanger, who we all know and love Marcus Cooper Jersey , but I’m cheering for anything other than him to win it. After all, this is his tourney and he’s got a special award he’s prepping and it just seems odd if he gifts himself the award. I’m putting my full support behind Punching Peanuts because it’s so close to my own Peanut Punchers. Good luck everyone in this league or in your home leagues. Remember, flags fly forever and those virtual trophies stay in your profile in perpetuity.
