Week #2 RAIDERS & PITBULLS post big wins

The RAIDERS & PITBULLS posted big wins last week, while Double D's Tigers remain winless. So its only week #2 and the 3 division leaders are the only undefeated teams. Is that parity or mediocrcy? Only time will tell. Scoring was up this week. Five teams scored better than 100 compared to ony two squads the previous week. The average score rose from 80.5 in week #1 to 89.8 in week #2. So if your team hasn't scored over 80 yet (Pamela) your team might stink.



RAIDERS 135 @ OB'S METHOD 84
After a tough 94-100 lost in week #1 Romo's Raiders get thier 1st win by spanking OB's Method (1-1). Romo's RB corps (Parker, Westbrook, Bush) look really strong. If El Cinco Stinko every gets going they could be a jaggernaut.

SLOT (69) @ RAZORS (100)
Open (in the) Slot (1-1) is trying to adjust to life without Brady. Jake Delhomme scored only 3 point in his debut for the Slot. They fall 69-100 to the Razors. Rando's Razor (2-0) did not need a 3 TD game from McNabb to win this week, but we're sure he would have liked to have a TD from the 60 yard pass that DeShaun Jackson left on the 1 yard (that turned into a Westbrook TD for the Raiders). The Razors were paced by a monster 3 TD game from Anquan Boldin (33 points).

PITBULLS (125) @ SONIC FORCE (70)
This was not the match-up we thought would materialize. The Pitbulls stay undefeated. No Jedi mind trick here. Just an old fashion but kickin. Mike's team scored 125 and had Clinton Portis on the bench with 23.

OUT (101) @ KOYOTES (71)
Tap Out (1-1) gets thier first win. They got 27 from QB Tony Romo and 25 from WR Santana Moss to down the Koyotes (0-2). Hey Jesse we didn't talk you out of starting McFadden (21 points) this week did we?

TROEGLER (77) @ TERRAPINS (64)

Marty's Team (1-1) came back from a loss in week #1 to limp past the Terps. This was a pedestrian affair. The highest score by any player was 19.

HITMEN (100) @ FLYIN' TIGERS (82)
The Hitmen are 2-0. Breaking the century mark in both games. Keep playing that rope-a-dope routine Double D. We will forget just how good your are.

Week #3
Looking ahead to week #2 there are two match-up that look even. Tap Out takes on the SS Force. Both teams are 1-1. And the Terps strap it on against Team Troegler. The Terps desperately need a win here. An 0-3 start could be a disaster.

The Slot lose Brady - Season in Jeopardy

It's just week #1 and we already have our 1st major injury. The Pats Tom Brady was the engine that made Open in the Slot a division leader last year. So it wasn't a big surprise when JT drafted Brady again this season (despite that disappointing playoff no-show). Now that Brady is done for the season you have to wonder about his chances.

It makes you wonder if "Auto Pick" would have taken Brady in the draft?

RECAP of Week #1

SLOT EDGES OUT TEAM TROEGLER (71-64)
No Tom Brady, but the Big O still had enuff to beat Marty. I don't know if they can count on the rookie RB, Matt Forte (20 pts.) to give 'em 123 yards and a TD each week. Marty was the victim of a sub-par nite from Peyton Manning who scores 16 pts (sub-par by Manning's standards).

RAZORS OUTPACE the TERRAPINS (81-72)
The Razors were paced by a break-out performance by D. McNabb (33 pts). But they were lucky to win after the gaff of starting an injured Willis McGee (Yo Rando, check out ESPN sportscenter next time). The Terps had good performances from QB Kitna (20 pts) and RB Peterson (18). But they look a little thin at wide out.

KOYOTES BLOWN-OUT BY SONIC FORCE (79-105)
The Force put the hammer down on the Koyotes to post the best score of the week. Who would have guessed Michael Turner (35 pts) would bust a groove in his first start as "the man". Turner had 220 yards and 2 TD's against the Lions. He can't do that every week, but it looks like he's the real deal.

TAP OUT GETS BIT BY THE PITBULLS (64-99)
Jesse, the rookie, fell prey to the Jedi Master. Don't worry Jesse. That was a Jedi mind trick you experienced last week.

RAIDERS FALL TO HITMEN (94-102)
The Raiders finished Sunday with 94 points, but the Philly Hitmen got double digits points from 6 of 8 starters. Nice.

OB'S METHOD HOLDS ON TO BEAT FLYIN' TIGERS (74-61)
RB Willie Parker broke out of the starting gate with a 138 yard, 3 TD, 32 point performance and OB was off to the races. The Tigers got a late start and could not catch 'em.

The league champ post the lowest score this week. I guess Dave would say he's got us right where he wants us.

Week two game to watch: A battle of un-defeated teams - The Soul Sonic Force vs the Dogs of New York.

Whazzup - Week #1 Preview

Here's an early look at the league going to week #1. We will ignore the G-Men's 16-7 snooze-fest win over the 'Skins last Thursday nite and review early game-lines.

FAB FOUR MATCH-UPS

Killin' Koyotes +7 @ Soul Sonic Force (94-101)
The Force (sporting a new logo this year) is projected to edge-out Pamela's Koyotes. The Koyotes' RB Brandon Jacobs scored his project 12 points. Now SFF RB Michael Turner has to do the same if they are going to win this. Of course Pamela is bankin' on TO havin' a monster game and trash the force.

Tap out -5 @ Brooklyn PitBulls (91- 86)
The rookie Tap Out is a 5 point favorite over the PitBulls. Don't believe it. Mikey is a former champion and seems to work magic with his roster in early season match-ups. Whazzup rookie! You're not really gonna start Oakland RB Darren McFadden RU?

FANTASTIC FOUR MATCH-UPS

Rando's Razors -11 @ Jonesville Terrapins (104-93 )
In an attempt to erase the memory of last years 2-11 season, Rando's renamed his team from the Razorbacks to the Razors. He's projected to walk over the Terps this week (3-10 last season). Rando's prayers rest on the performance of McNabb and LT (as most games this season will). But the Terps have a shot. They look much more balanced this year.

Open (in the) Slot EVEN Team Troegler (84-84)
The forecasters have this match-up of teams drafted off-line even. This one will be decided by the match-up of the league's two premier QB's ... Brady for the Slot vs. Manning for T-Trogler. JD didn't you learn yout lesson with Brady late last season? And Marty ... a bit of league history for ya ... no team with Peyton Manning as their QB has every won this league (we call it the Manning jinx).

FOUR HORSEMEN MATCH-UPS

OB's Method +9 @ Double D's Flyin' Tigers (86- 95)
This is not a good sign Double D. You are better off when you're not the favorite. OB could get the jump on you if the Palmer to Houshmandzadeh connection hooks up against the Ravens.

Romo's Raiders +22 Philly Hitmen (86-108)
The Hitmen are a 22 point favorite , but this will be closer than projected. Lions RB Kevin Smith for the Hitmen will share carries with newly signed Rudi Johnson and don't forget the Ocho Cinco factor for Romo's Raiders. Ocho Cinco ... Damn I'm gonna love saying that all season.
