USFL WEEK 1

Here we go, week 1 starts tomorrow night, so here's what's on tap for the USFL fantasy league.

Week 1 game of the week is Jacksonville vs. Birmingham. The game features Phillip Rivers, Brian Westbrook, and Reggie Wayne for the Bulls, and Ben Roethlisberger, Joseph Addai, and Larry Fitzgerald for the Stallions.
    In an effort to keep the scores more realistic, this season I've increased the number of yards needed to get points, as well as allowed each team to start only one running back and one wide receiver. The scoring method is as follows:
6 PTS FOR RUN/REC TD
4 PTS FOR PASSING TD
1 PT FOR EVERY 50 RUSH/REC YARDS
1 PT FOR EVERY 100 PASS YARDS
1 PT FOR TURNOVER
2 PTS FOR A SAFETY

PREDICTIONS: I'm going to keep this simple and only pick the winner, because I have no idea how the scoring will work out...
JACKSONVILLE OVER BIRMINGHAM
ORLANDO OVER NEW JERSEY
MEMPHIS OVER WASHINGTON
PHILADELPHIA OVER TAMPA BAY
ARIZONA OVER PITTSBURGH
MICHIGAN OVER OAKLAND
LOS ANGELES OVER DENVER
PORTLAND OVER OKLAHOMA


At the end of the week, i'll scan the scoresheets so you can see who's on the teams and who did the scoring.

I'm excited, here we go... check back to see how the games turn out!
