Defensive Maneuvers
Reminders: these are for ESPN settings. Always check the website for (1) Yahoo setttings, (2) “Why high/Why low”, and (3) Histograms of most-similar historical games.
We have already 25 participants in this week’s Pick6x6 challenge, so the average guess for those 6 teams is listed in bold. The other scores are my own. And the Expert consensus rankings are there for comparison or possible preference.
| # | Subvertadown + Reddit Consensus | Mean Rank of this team by 5-Expert Consensus |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Falcons @ Jets | #3.5 |
| 2 | Jaguars vs. Bengals | #5 |
| 3 | Buccaneers vs. Panthers | #4 |
| 4 | Rams vs. Browns | #9 |
| 5 | Chiefs @ Packers | #6.5 |
| 6 | Chargers @ Patriots | #9.5 |
| 7 | Steelers vs. Cardinals | #7 |
| 8 | Dolphins @ Commanders | #2.5 |
| 9 | Jets vs. Falcons | #7 |
| 10 | Colts @ Titans | #14 |
Experts are higher on Dolphins, lower on Rams and Colts. Reddit is lower on Chargers and higher on Colts.
Here’s the Kicker
A reminder that the full list of “Why High / Why Low” drivers is here for Kickers.
| # | Handpicked 5-Expert Consensus (Wednesday) | Subvertadown Model (Wednesday) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aubrey | Aubrey |
| 2 | Butker | Hopkins |
| 3 | Sanders | Sanders |
| 4 | McManus | McManus |
| 5 | Boswell | Ammendola |
| 6 | Dicker | Patterson |
| 7 | Gay | Lutz |
| 8 | Patterson | Havrisik |
Overlaps are Aubrey, Sanders, McManus, Patterson (ugh). I don’t have Gay far behind, and the other experts follow up with McLaughlin and Lutz.
Good luck!

Play Dicker or Sanders this week??
would y’all play anyone over Aubrey this week? He’s ranked 1 everywhere but i feel like he doesnt have that high of a ceiling
I’m leaning towards dropping Aubrey for gay. Also Averts risk of a Thursday game he may get only xps
Are you basing your ranking, on Hopkins, based on Flacco/Walker starting? It seems he does bad when DTR starts
Fellow Hopkins owners, how we feeling about our boy?
I like him as long as DTR isn’t the QB. Walker and Flacco both represent more opportunities imo.
I believe the 49ers are going to surprise a lot of people this week and reward those who have the balls to play them.
I think Koo and myers are very safe this week…
Tb > Jax imo
I have Hopkins so I trust the Subvertadown model more
I also have the Dolphins D so I trust the expert consensus more
Are the Lions still considered a safe play for the playoffs? They seem to have lost a lot of steam and the matchup against the Broncos doesn’t seem as juicy as it once did.
