by rseysPosted on Posted in Free Fantasy Football Cheatsheet Week 2 2017

Week 1 of the 2017 NFL season is in the books.  Hurricane Irma postpones the Buccaneers-Dolphins opener, Marshawn Lynch returns and looks like his old self, and David Johnson leaves the game with what looks like a serious wrist injury. The biggest story of week 1, however, is whether or not your fantasy football team won.

Win or lose, be sure to check out Football Weblog’s beauteous and foxy cheatsheets to either right your sinking fantasy ship or to be the catalyst to a 2-0 start!  Select the link below to download the week 2 edition of Football Weblog’s free fantasy football cheatsheet!

by rseysPosted on Posted in One Page 2017 NFL Schedule With Scores

Last year I started regularly publishing the One Page NFL Schedule updated with scores on a weekly basis.  It was well received, so I’ll do it again this season.  Check back each Tuesday for an updated schedule with scores.  You’ll find a link to this post on the Schedules/Calendars page (accessible from the top menu).

As always, run to daylight.

by rseysPosted on Posted in Hurricane Irma: Buccaneers-Dolphins Schedule Change

Because of the impending impact of Hurricane Irma, the NFL announced last Wednesday that the week 1 game (Sunday, September 10) between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins will instead be played in week 11 (Sunday, November 19).  Football Weblog’s One Page Schedules have been updated to reflect this change.  The link to the schedules is below.

by rseysPosted on Posted in 2017 Week 1 NFL Power Rankings and Picks

Prior to the 2013 NFL season, I researched the factors that determine the best fantasy kickers.  The study unmistakably showed that kickers playing for teams that win and score a lot of points have the most fantasy success.  (See the August 2013 post.)  I analyzed the study again later that year to see if a real-world correlation truly existed to back up the research.  Clearly I was on to something.  Through the first eight weeks of the 2013 season, the accuracy of Football Weblog’s kicker rankings were handily outperforming other recognized fantasy football experts.  (See the November 2013 post.)

Football Weblog continues to use this same method to rank kickers on our little known but significant cheatsheets.  In fact, these research results have become such an important consideration that I now incorporate them into the ranking of other positions as well.  Further, I’ve recently realized that winning and scoring a lot of points is also a great indicator of the best NFL teams – a power ranking per se.

by rseysPosted on Posted in 2017 Pro Football Wallet Schedule

Things have been stupid hectic for me on the home front, but I finally found time to post about Football Weblog’s exclusive 2017 Pro Football Wallet Schedule.  Like last season, this year’s wallet schedule lists all 256 regular season NFL games on sturdy 14pt matte-coated cardstock.  NFC games are shown on one side; AFC games on the other.  The schedule is color-coded to quickly identify Monday night games, Thursday games, byes, etc.  Printed dimensions are 3-½” x 6”, but include two score lines to enable easy folding to a compact 2” x 3-½” – a perfect business card size for your wallet.

by rseysPosted on Posted in Run a Weekly Football Pool

Much of the enjoyment of football revolves around the competitions and contests surrounding it – the games within the game.  A football pool is one of those games that’s always easy and fun to play.  Best of all, Football Weblog has created the football pool forms for you, in PDF format, ready to download and print.  You’ll find the link to the forms at the end of this post.

Running a football pool is easy.  Contestants (your family, friends, and co-workers) fill out a copy of the current week’s form by circling the team they think will win each game.  They also pencil in a guess of how many points they believe will be scored in the Monday night game (for tiebreaking purposes).  They submit the form to you prior to kickoff of that week’s first matchup.  After all the games have been played, you review the forms.  The person that finishes the week with the most correct games is deemed that week’s winner.

If you’ve never been introduced to this book before, it’s time to make your acquaintance.  The book is phenomenal.  By making publications like this available – for free – there’s little wonder how the NFL has become the most popular sport in America.  Topping out at 851 pages, the 2017 NFL Record & Fact Book is the essential information compendium for the game of football.  The link to the publication is below.

Thank you, NFL!

by rseysPosted on Posted in Newfoundland Time Zone One Page NFL Schedule Fixed

Another shout out to Simon for pointing out that the One Page 2017 NFL Schedule for the Newfoundland time zone was messed up.  Thanks for having my back – again!

The Newfoundland time zone is an outlier in that it’s not one hour different from neighboring time zones (like most time zones are!), but ½ an hour different.  I erroneously made the assumption that there’s an hour difference.  The dumb thing on my part is that I already knew about this anomaly since I created a Newfoundland time zone one page schedule for the CFL just a couple of weeks ago.  Tipping too many brown bottles, I guess!

Regardless, it’s all fixed up now.  The link to all of the NFL One Page 2017 Schedules is below.

by rseysPosted on Posted in More One Page 2017 NFL Schedules

I live in the upper Midwest, and am a drooling ignoramus when it comes to geography beyond Frostbite Falls, Minnesota.  As such, the West Indies are as foreign to me as it would be to a Northern flying squirrel or a moose.  Nonetheless, I decided to add new One Page NFL Schedules for the Eastern Caribbean area, and for the Atlantic and Newfoundland time zones.  (Thanks for the suggestion, Simon!)

A link to all of Football Weblog’s One Page 2017 NFL Schedules can be found below.  As always, please feel free to contact me if you notice any problems with the schedules or have any suggestions.  Thank you!

by rseysPosted on Posted in One Page 2017 NFL Schedule - Correction

A mistake on the One Page 2017 NFL Schedule for the Eastern time zone was pointed out to me.  I originally had the kickoff time for the Week 4 London game between the Saints and Dolphins listed as 8:30 AM ET, but it should be 9:30 AM ET.  The correction has been made.  (Thanks for catching that, Simon and Robert!  I appreciate it!)  Note that the schedules for all other time zones are correct.  It’s only the Eastern time zone that contained the error.

If you’ve already printed the incorrect schedule for the Eastern time zone, here’s the link to the One Page 2017 NFL Schedule post with the fixed schedule.  All other links on the blog now point to the corrected schedule as well.  Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused!

by rseysPosted on Posted in One Page 2017 NFL Schedule

The 1957 black-and-white science fiction film, The Incredible Shrinking Man, is about a guy who eventually becomes so small he’s able to fit through the small squares of a window screen.  It’s my hope that you find the entire 256-game NFL schedule neatly shrunk to fit a single sheet of paper just as incredible.

I present to you Football Weblog’s 2017 One Page NFL Schedule.  As always, the One Page NFL Schedule is published in PDF format, so it’s ready to be easily downloaded and printed on a standard 8½” x 11” sheet of paper.  For your convenience, there’s even a version for each U.S. and Canadian time zone.

by rseysPosted on Posted in 2017 NFL Schedule Announced

Yesterday was a “first down” kind of day.  The NFL released its 2017 game schedule.  This is a resounding indicator that football season is getting closer every day, and it’s my queue to condense the NFL schedule into Football Weblog’s exclusive One Page NFL Schedule.

Since the task of creating the condensed schedule competes with doing household chores for my wife (who still naively believes that I’ll take care of her “honey-do” list in a timely manner), I can’t provide a specific date when the one page schedule will be released.  It shouldn’t take too long though — maybe a week or two.  You’re welcome to check back then, otherwise feel free to subscribe to Footballweblog.com by entering your email address in the ‘Never Miss a Post’ area below.  By subscribing, you’ll be notified the minute the One Page NFL Schedule is released.

by rseysPosted on Posted in One Page 2017 CFL Schedule

The Canadian Football League continues to grow in popularity.  It’s now the second most popular sport in Lumberjack Country behind only ice hockey.  As such, I felt it was only fitting to create a one page schedule for the CFL similar to what I’ve done in the past with the NFL.  Like the NFL schedule, the One Page CFL Schedule is saved in PDF format, ready to be downloaded and printed on a single sheet of paper.  I’ve even created a version for each Canadian time zone.  I hope you like it!
