Feeling this was a must-win game, otherwise risking going 1 - 3 with an eminent Week 4 loss, I felt a tiny bit nervous about this one. Team THUNDER was a clear favorite, but I'm always nervous when my opponent has Monday Night players when I don't.
I was looking for a 40-point lead. It didn't appear I'd get there prior to the 4th quarter of the of the Broncos - Seahawks game. Manning only had 5 points but lead a furious comeback and tie the game. Alshon Jeffery and Chris Johnson couldn't make up the difference on Monday night.

I'm conceding a Week 4 loss -- I really am. It looks like an absolute train wreck! My only available running back? Frank Gore. Seriously. I can certainly upgrade E.J. Manuel at no cost. I also see a good defensive matchup that might be worth a couple points. But I really see no way to win unless I spend a few bucks picking up the new running back, Lorenzo Taliaferro and he has a monster game.
And there's the dilemma. Is it worth it to spend $30-40 on a low-percentage play to produce one win? Who would I give up?
