WEEK 1 / PART 3 (WRAP-UP)

OK, week 1 is in the books. Here's the score sheet showing all the results of the games, and let's you see who is playing for whom....
Week 1's POW (player of the week) is Drew Brees of the Los Angeles Express.
And here is the standings board....
I went 7-1 in my picks for week one's games, only missing on the Jacksonville - Birmingham game.... not too shabby considering I had no clue how the scoring would work itself out with the new rules this year.

Week 2 is just around the corner, and the updates probably won't happen until Sunday night, as i will be out of town for the weekend. I will try to get the match-ups posted tomorrow night, along with my picks.

WEEK 1 / PART 2


Well it's been an exciting kickoff weekend so far.... the game scores are a little more realistic this season so far, so i'm happy. One game is complete, another is decided as far as the winner is concerned, and the others are pretty close and should be down to the wire with Monday night's games. Here's how things stand as of right now:

Pittsburgh    19  (no players left)
Arizona        13 (Brady & Gates left to play)

Oakland     21  (Welker, NE defense)
Michigan    15  (Moss, Kaeding)

Los Angeles    58  (no players left)
Denver            35  (Owens)

Portland       36
Oklahoma    31  Final

Birmingham    39  (no players left)
Jacksonville    25  (Rivers)

Orlando        27  (no players left)
New Jersey    9   (Tomlinson)

Memphis       22  (Jackson SD, Gostowski)
Washington   18   (no players left)

Philadelphia    40  (no players left)
Tampa Bay    18  (San Diego Defense)

So as you can see, a couple could end up nail biters, while others have very little shot of being competitive at this point, but all in all a great start to a season. I'll be back tomorrow night to wrap up week 1.

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!
