Leap of faith

For the moment, lets take a leap of faith and assume that the Terps and V Dub are for real. Both teams are 2-0 to lead their divisions. V Dub had the weeks high score (123) in an impressive win over the Slot who falls to 0-2 in spite of posting a good score of 94 points.
On the other hand, the Terps posted a reasonable score (80), but only managed to win because of a tie breaker (total bench points 47-45). So maybe they're lacking some roster depth after Brees & Peterson. The Razors, Double D and the Force scratch out a victory to pull even at .500. The Pound Cakes are 0-2 and it may not be too early to be calling for life support. Key Match-up in week #3: Dub vs. the Razors could change the leader of the Body Bag division.

They Might be Giants!

Beware out there … they might be Giants … there may be a seismic shift in power in the ole football league. The Jonesville Terrapins have come stormin’ out of the gates in week #1 to post an incredible high score of 137! Could it be true that a cellar dweller for the last 2 seasons like the Terps has morphed in to a fantasy football giant? They were sparked by an out of body experience from Drew Brees with 6 TDs and 49 fantasy points. They were unstoppable when combined with 180 yards and 38 points from Adrian Peterson. The result; Jonesville Terrapins 137.0 @ Soul Sonic Force 66.0 . That was 87 points scored by 2 players! SSF didn’t have a chance.
RANDO'S RAZORS 92.0 @ TROOPER OB'S METHOD 119.0 OB was another cellar dweller with a GIANT effort in week #1. This time it was the Eagles D/ST posting 36 points! No Manning curse for OB this week. But we all know the Eagles can’t post those kinda numbers every week.
Double D's Flyin' Tigers 79.0 @ V Dub 94.0 Former Champ Double D takes one on the chin from the sophomore V Dub … frickin’ Tom Brady did it again with 25 points. But V Dub’s QB Tony Romo responded with 35.
Brooklyn PitBulls 73.0 @ Open (in the) Slot 59.0 Yawn, this one was projected to be low scoring and it was. Oh my … look how low have the mighty fallen.
Romo's Raiders 64.0 @ Capitol Road Pound Cakes 56.0 Okay, now this one was REALLY pathetic. The Rodgers vs Cutler QA battle never materialized. Could it be that all Bears QB’s are prone to INT’s?

Week #1 Starts here

Don't forget the season starts for real on Thursday. Players on the Steelers and Titans will lock at gametime. You will still be able to add/drop players until Sunday. The league transaction counters will be reset at 1PM ET Sunday. After that you only have 13 free add/drops before you are changed $1. So make all you transactions now.
Let's take a quick season preview. We have 10 teams this year in two divisions(Black n Blue & Body Bag). The draft distributed the talent fairly even. So it should be an interesting season. Double D you should be happy to know there is a tie breaker this year (total bench points).
Rando's Razors (RRAZ) vs Trooper OB's Method (OBM)
The only intra division matchup this week. This the line is Rando -5. So it's basically a pick-em. OB has Peyton Manning. Who we all know is cursed in the league. Rando is a little inexperienced at WR. It's not clear that DeSean Jackson can score on a regular basis and Percy Harvin's a rookie. Should be a close match-up.
Black & Blue Division
Romo's Raiders (RR) vs Capitol Road Pound Cakes (PC)
Pamela takes on the 2008 season champs. The early line has her pounding the Raiders by 19. She's got LT in Oakland and Reggie Bush at home against Detroit. Nice! RBs Westbrook and Jacobs for RR have some tough defenses this week. This one could be decided by the QB play. Green Bay's Rodgers for RR is in Chicago against Jay Cutler for Pamela.
Jonesville Terrapins (JT) vs Soul Sonic Force (SSF)
The quest for more than 3 wins in a season starts here for the Jonesville boys. The early line has them favored by 15. Their roster looks formidable. That is if you ignore the starters from the Kansas City Chiefs. But the SSF roster isn't scaring anyone either.
Body Bag Division
Double D's Flyin' Tigers (DFT) vs V Dub (Dub)
Okay Jesse we give up. What the frick is a V Dub. Double D may have Tom Brady, but his effectiveness is negated by two starters from Detroit. The Dub dude -10.
Brooklyn PitBulls (BPB) vs Open (in the) Slot (JD)
The dogs are a heavy favorite (-19), but this is projected to be the lowest scoring match-up of the week. The Slot's going with a rookie RB, because Pierre Thomas is out this week. He could get a nice bump from the Warner to Fitzgerald QB/WR combo. Looking for an upset here.
