The start of football season is here along with fantasy football which means Game Of Inches "board bets" for this year's football season are back. Recently Sexy Rexy and my self got together and talked a lot of football and we made 12 board bets in addition to the ones we had already. I have also made a few with TBO so check out this year's Football Board Bets which can also be found on the right side of the blog. A special thanks to Sexy Rexy for adding all of the board bets and making sure they are up to date. Without him we wouldn't be ready for football here at GOI. He is the man responsible for making sure the Board Bets page is what it is.
Now make sure you check out the Football Board Bets (2011) and let us know who you think made the better deals!

2010 Football Board Bet Winners
Sexy Rexy v. Cubsfan4evr
1) Who will be better in 2010: Randy Moss or Larry Fitzgerald?
Winner: Sexy Rexy (Fitzgerald)
Fitzgerald (65th overall); Moss (168th overall)
2) Has MJD ever been a top 5 RB before 2009?
Winner: Sexy Rexy (No)
3) Who will be better in 2010: Devin Aromashodu or Johnny Knox?
Winner: Sexy Rexy (Knox)
Knox (97); D.A. (2269)
4) Who will be better: LeSean McCoy or Jonathan Stewart?
Winner: Cubsfan4evr1 (McCoy)
Oh good lawd I concede
5) Will Tom Brady be better than either Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, or Peyton Manning?
Winner: Sexy Rexy (Brady)
Rodgers (1); Brady (3); Brees (5); Manning (6)
6) Who will be better: Ryan Grant or Michael Turner?
Winner: Sexy Rexy (Turner)
This is just shit luck for Cubsfan because Turner being a top 3 NFC quarterback meant he was barely a top 10 RB.
7) Who will be better: Adrian Peterson or Chris Johnson?
Winner: Cubsfan4evr1 (Peterson)
Before the season Cubsfan had the #1 overall pick and he asked me whether he should take CJ or AD and I convinced him to take CJ. Boy, sometimes you gotta stick to your guns.
8) Who will be better: Kevin Kolb or Joe Flacco?
Winner: Sexy Rexy (Flacco)
Again, don't need to tabulate this one
9) Who will be better: Steve Breaston or Kevin Walter?
Winner: Sexy Rexy (Breaston)
Breaston (149); Walter (176)
I drafted Walter last year and I liked him but I only drafted one of them this year; guess which one?
10) Will be better: Arian Foster or Steve Slaton?
Winner: Sexy Rexy (Foster)
TBO was so convinced that I was wrong that he tried to get me to make this bet but I was so dumb because I truly believed in Slaton's talent and didn't want to risk it.
11) Who will be better: Eddie Royal or Demaryius Thomas?
Winner: Sexy Rexy (Royal)
Royal (131); Thomas (1670)
12) Who will have more receiving yards: Pierre Garcon or Anthony Gonzalez?
Winner: Cubsfan4evr1 (Garcon)
AGon (67 yards); Garcon (534 yards)
13) Will Randy Moss be a top 20 receiver from Week Nine on?
Winner: Sexy Rexy (No)
I'm not going to tabulate this but since Moss joined the Titans he's be AWFUL. I'm pretty sure I personally put up more fantasy points than what Moss did while in Tennessee.
14) Who will be better from Week Nine on: Darius Heyword-Bey or Michael Crabtree?
Winner: Sexy Rexy (Crabtree)
Crabtree (27 pts); Heyword-Bey (1 pt)
Winner: Sexy Rexy. 11 wins out out 14 bets.
Sexy Rexy vs. The 'Bright' One
1) Is Joe Flacco a top 8 QB?
Winner: The 'Bright' One (No)
Joe ranked 10th overall
2) Will Kevin Kolb be a top 10 QB?
Winner: The 'Bright' One (No)
Wait, let me calculate this out, maybe Kolb has another good week...
3) Will Chad Henne be a top 15 QB?
Winner: The 'Bright' One (No)
Henne was the 23rd best QB. Man my QB rankings sucked balls this year
4) Will CJ Spiller be a top 15 RB? (min. 200 touches)
Winner: Sexy Rexy (No)
OK, Spiller didn't even get close to 200 touches but this touches minimum was in case Spiller got injured. Spiller just sucked and didn't get any playing time so I'm going to say I won this because TBO was so adamant that Spiller would be good.
5) Who will be better in the GOI league Week One: Run DMC or Reggie Bush?
Winner: The 'Bright' One (Run DMC)
Turns out TBO made the right call when he benched the greatest RB ever to grace God's green earth in Week One.
Winner: The 'Bright' One. 4 wins out of 5 bets
The 'Bright' One v. Cubsfan4evr
1) Who will be better: Brandon Marshall or DeSean Jackson?
Winner: Cubsfan4evr1 (Jackson)
TBO and myself laughed at Cubsfan for this prediction but man even with Jackson missing some time Marshall sucked some major donkey balls this year.
Sexy Rexy v. D.B. (GOI Friend)
1) Over/Under 23.5 interceptions for Jay Cutler in 2010
Winner: Sexy Rexy (Under)
While this bet was actually for the entire year and not just for fantasy, Cutler only has 10 on the year and it seems extremely unlikely he will get 14 interceptions in four games.
2) -12.5 for Chicago for Bears/Lions game on 09.12.10
Winner: D.B.
I don't remember the actual score but I know I lost.
Winner: Tie
Sexy Rexy v. FFSpin
Since FFSpin stopped replying to emails like we had a bad break up and stopped paying attention to the GOI league to the point where I was managing his team during the bye weeks, I think it's OK to insult everything he stands for! No, I'm just kidding please don't do that, but it's definitely not a cool move. Seriously. Anyways, here's our bets that only I will care about.
1) Who will be better: Eddie Royal or Jabar Gaffney? (judged every four weeks)
Weeks 1-4 Winner: Sexy Rexy (Royal)
Royal (40); Gaffney (29)
Weeks 5-8 Winner: FFSpin (Gaffney)
Royal (12); Gaffney (26)
Weeks 10-13 Winner: FFSpin (Gaffney)
Royal (19); Gaffney (21)
FFSpin told me that every four weeks I won he would give me a free subscription to his fantasy prediction site. When I kindly asked for it (and I promise I was legit kind) he stopped responding to my emails. Kind of a shit move. Just saying.
2) Will Pierre Thomas be a top 15 RB this year?
Winner: Sexy Rexy (No)
Yet I'm the loser because I traded away Greg Jennings and I league I didn't care about to get Thomas after Week One
Winner: Tie The tie breaker will be Royal vs. Gaffney in the fantasy playoffs
Football Board Bets: Results
So TBO and myself have made some football board bets and I know all of you have been on pins and needles anxiously awaiting the results of who won, so here... wE....GO!
Bet One: Pierre Thomas will be a top 12 RB this year
Like Matthew Berry, I also lost this board as Thomas ended up as the 20th best back this year. Stupid Sean Peyton not giving him enough carries...
Winner: The 'Bright' One
Bet Two: Over/Under 8.5 rushing or receiving TDs for Reggie Bush
Bush made this close getting 8 but like Bush has always done, he gets injured and saves me.
Winner: Sexy Rexy
Bet Three: Better fantasy back this year: Fred Taylor or Ahmad Bradshaw
Taylor only played like three games so he didn't meet the minimum carries so this bet is void
Winner: The New England Patriots
The rest of these bets are from week six on
Bet Four: More receiving TDs: TO vs. Earl Bennett and Johnny Knox
TO ended up with 4, Bennett with 2 and Knox got, drum roll...... TWO. Again, another wash, but really, this says more about TO than it does anything else
Winner: TO's agent
Bet Five: Fewer fantasy points: LT or Brain Westbrook
Not only did Westbrook get concussed soon after this bet but as slow and crappy as LT looked, he got a lot of yards and TDs. Westbrook won 19 to 135.
Winner: Sexy Rexy
Best Six: Big Ben will have a passer rating under 86.0
While this bet was for the entire year, no matter, Big Ben still was actually good for ONCE in his career and actually showed he can pass well without a running game. The one year I make a bet about him is the one year he proves me wrong. Jerk.
Winner: The 'Bright' One
Bet Seven: Hester, Cutler, and Forte vs. Berrian, Orton, and Benson
Former Bears: 264. Current Bears: 282. Fuck.
Winner: The 'Bright' One
And because you can do simple math, the winner of the 2009 football board bets between Sexy Rexy and The 'Bright' One is: THE 'BRIGHT' ONE
TBO gets: na na na na na na's
SR gets: I Told You So
Bet One: Pierre Thomas will be a top 12 RB this year

More Football Board Bets
Bet Four:
Johnny Knox and Earl Bennett will get more receiving TDs combined than Terrell Owens between Week 6 and Week 17.
Sexy Rexy: Over- TO is garbage and so is Trent Edwards
The 'Bright' One: Under- I hate betting against the Bears but I love To
Winner: Proof to see if TO would look good in a Bears uniform or not
Bet Five:
Who ends up with fewer fantasy points the rest of the way: LT or Brain Westbrook?
Sexy Rexy: Westbrook. Not only will LeSean McCoy take fantasy points away from Westbrook, but Westbrook will sit on the sidelines more than LT this year
The 'Bright' One: LT. As great of a career as he's had, he's done.
Winner: who cares, this shit isn't for money
Bet Six:
Big Ben will finish the year with a passer rating under 87.0
Sexy Rexy: Under. Yes, I know he's having a fantastic season but he's poised to have a career year in pass attempts. And as I've proven before, when Big Ben is forced to throw a lot, he sucks.
The 'Bright' One: Over, dude's awesome, don't be a hater
Bet Seven:
Who will have more fantasy points the rest of the way- former Bears Kyle Orton, Bernard Berrian, and Cerdirc Benson or current Bears Jay Cutler, Devin Hester, and Matt Forte?
Sexy Rexy: Former Bears- for some reason offensive players seem to do well after they leave the team?
The 'Bright' One: Current Bears- Why do you not have faith in this team!?
Johnny Knox and Earl Bennett will get more receiving TDs combined than Terrell Owens between Week 6 and Week 17.
Sexy Rexy: Over- TO is garbage and so is Trent Edwards

Put It On The Board: Football
Since our sister blog Put It On The Board is for DME and TBO and only for baseball, TBO and myself will just have to do our own version here.
Here's some bets to start off with
Bet One:
Pierre Thomas is a top 12 fantasy RB next year, min 200 carries
Sexy Rexy: Absolutely! Gotta give love to my Illinois alum brothas! Plus, he's awesome.
The 'Bright' One: No, not only is he not good, but Reggie Bush will take carries and TDs away from him
Winner: Na na na na na na's
Bet Two:
Speaking of Reggie Bush, over/under Reggie Bush rushing and receiving TDs: 8.5
Sexy Rexy: Under, Reggie Bush has never eclipsed 8 in a season, his TD/carries ratio is extremely low and he'll lose even more carries to Thomas
The 'Bright' One: Over, gotta love me some Bush[sick bastard]!
Winner: I Told You So
Bet Three:
Who will be a better fantasy running back next year: Ahmad Bradshaw or Fred Taylor, min 160 carries?
Sexy Rexy: Gotta love me the guy with a career 4.2 YPC and the amazing NE O-line
The 'Bright' One: A wise man [Sexy Rexy] once told me Bradshaw will get over 1,000 yards." Plus I don't think Taylor will be any good next year
Winner: A podcast praising to the other
