Week #2 Winners and Whiners

It's only week #2. Too early to separate the contenders from the pretenders. But if the scoring differentials continue as the have the first two weeks there will be a lotta close match-ups. Last year's champion was only 8-5 in the regular season. So all those teams at 0-2 can cheer up. It's not over yet.

Week two match-ups were dominated by the scoring in a few high scoring shootouts. Anybody with a piece of the Browns 51-41 win over the Bengals where happy. Well maybe Double D would have liked to have started Jamal Lewis in that match-up, but who's to say that Deuce McAllister wasn't the better start after their week #1 performances.

THE SOUL SONIC FORCE OUTLASTS THE RAIDERS  107-100 In the only match-up between unbeaten teams the Force prevails on the strength of Frank Gore (20) and Randy Moss (23). These guys could be scary if Moss continues at this pace (48 point in 2 weeks). Romo's Raiders got everything you could ask for from the Edge (21) and TO (15). Normally you would win most match-ups if you're over the century mark. But this week you needed to score over 100 just to be in the match-up!

THE OPEN SLOT (2-0) SQUEAKS PAST THE RAZORBACKS (0-2) 97-94 The Slot wins by the slimmest of margins based on the results on the Eagles collapse on Monday Nite Football. The Slot lead by 10 going into MNF with WR Jason Avant yet to play. The Razorbacks had the Eagles kicker, David Akers in the game. Normally you would not expect a kicker to have a snow balls chance in hell of outscoring a WR by 11, but this was Philly baby. The kicker scored all of Philly's points (12), but Avant squeaked out 5 points on 55 receiving yards. The new guy is 2-0.

PITBULLS (2-0) @ TERRAPINS (0-2) 103-83 The other new owner has not faired as well. The Terps got manhandled by big Mike's Pitbulls. They are still trying to figure what's wrong with Reggie Bush and the Saints. The Pitbulls had two players in the Browns/Bengals donnybrook, Rudi Johnson (19) and Kellen Winslow.

OB'S METHOD (0-2) @ KOYOTES (1-1) 62-117
As predicted the Koyotes bounced back from a close week #1 loss to win big. They were the biggest benefactor of the Brown/Bengals game. Their 2 players in the game outscored OB's entire team (Palmer had 50 and Houshmandzadeh 18). Throw in the Bears D (21) and the Koyte's are a formidable team. So it begs the question raised during the draft ... when did Maurice Jones-Drew become an all star back anyway?

HITMEN (0-2) @ DDS FLYIN' TIGERS (2-0) 108-129 Double D has made a strong move to the front of the pack. Posting the week's high score without playing Jamal Lewis (28). The Tigers adeptly played the Delhomme (30) to Smith (34) connection. Tough luck for the Hitmen who had the 3rd best score of the week and lost!
