What's with these win probability percentages?

CBS says I have a 99% chance of winning. Kincaid needs 14 to beat me. How is 80 yards and a TD at 1%?
They guess just like we do. I've had games when I was favored by a 80-20% margin and got my ass handed to me - same the other way around.

I am running a guillotine league with my buddies on Sleeper. On Sleeper, there is still a default matchup schedule. There are 3 teams with no players that have a 1% chance of winning.

Which reminds me, I need a zero or negative points from the Jets DST to defeat @Chef99 in D2
:hope:

Chase Brown of the Bengals saved my ass tonight. I was down by 2 when he ran for that TD with under 2 minutes to play. I needed either a catch for 15 yards from Wan'Dale Robinson or a catch for 3 yards from Darius Slayton. I got both. I ended up winning by 4.
Same for me. I was down around 35 with Burrow and Chase Brown. That last 30 yard TD run by Brown gave me the win by .6 LOL. Somehow pulled out the win. My entire bench is injured

He should have slid though. Under two minutes when that play started and the Giants had one time-out. Giants use a time out to stop the clock, then you kneel on first, second and third down and the game's over.

That said, much more fun to watch him score.

Yeah but the Giants suck and he is still competing for the starting RB gig

M. Lewis caught a pass yesterday. I was like... is that...?

Yes. Yes, it is.

Marcedes Lewis caught a two-yard pass yesterday. He's been playing in the NFL longer than Apple has made phones. He caught an NFL TD before Aaron Rodgers threw one.

I didn't know he was still in the league. Wow

Isn't it weird that Jacksonville has two straight games in London?

Has to give them a bit of an advantage, doesn't it?

Pretty sure every nfl team that didn't have fans was given the opportunity to cough up home games to play in London and Jags/Kahn jumped at it in the early stages.

Playing an extra game in front of +50k of your own fans in your own stadium is a way bigger advantage than playing back-to-back games internationally

He saved me too as I had a bet on the Bengals -4 last night

So was anyone else a little stunned to see Sean Tucker get a 50/50 split with Bucky Irving and come out with better fantasy numbers?

Mildly - very similar profiles. .... and pretty much everything TB did worked well (NO just did not look good). R. White may find himself in quite a battle once he gets back.

I was just happy to have Irving score me 16 in D1, but yeah who is this Tucker character and why is he getting 50% of carries, that could of went to Irving and really make me happy.

I was thinking more of the travel time, getting acclimated, etc.

They didn't actually fly home and plan to fly back, right?

Plus I think he wants to move the Jags to London eventually if the NFL allows it. At least it was talked about years ago, not sure it is still on the cards

He went to Syracuse. He was a beast there but I guess who isn’t in college. He looked like a NFL type of RB there and he can catch too. TB definitely has some nice options to replace White
