Week 2
Before we start projecting week two let’s take a look back at how we did on the opening weekend…
Tommy vs. Alex - I got this one right with Tommy pulling out the victory.
Raj vs. Lance – I went with Lance this week but stupid Raj and his balanced attack ( no player had more than 21 points) defeated the fantasy god.
Kyle vs. Steve – Steve and Drew Brees got me a big win here.
Kevin vs. Ali – I predicted Ali would win and win he did. Talk about a smack down.
Bollin vs. John – I picked against Bollin and it worked out as he stunk up the place. Bollin was the only player not to score 100 points in week one.
LIVE vs. Scott – I picked myself and I had one hell of a week. I managed to score the 3rd most points. Unfortunately stupid LIVE scored the second most points, what a jerk.
Not too bad for week one. I managed to go 4-2. I like it.
Before we move on to our week 2 predictions let me update you on the teasers. I lost the first one but then doubled down on the Sunday night and double Monday night games. I currently have a little college teaser going. I hit the LSU game on Thursday. I have Oklahoma +7 and Illinois +9 left to win the bet. As for this weeks NFL teaser I have Browns +8 vs. Colts, Tampa Bay +13 vs. Vikings, Redskins +6.5 vs. Cardinals.
Here it is, the moment you have been waiting for… SCOTT VS. BOLLIN
Momma Bollin was asked last week why she continued to have relations with Mr. Illiniseoul despite the objections of the rest of the Bollin clan. All she had to say way “Illiniseoul is hung like a horse and goes down like the rodeo”. What can I say, the woman does not lie. As for the match up, I don’t really think this one will be close. The crazy thing is that Julio Jones (my team) is going to outscore Bollin’s Roddy White this week because White will have Nhamdi (spelling?) on him all game. The one advantage Bollin had is taken away. ESPN sees this one 174 – 137 in favor of Illiniseoul. I can’t really argue with the 174 part but I think Bollin fails to reach 100 for the second straight week. Illiniseoul 175 – Bollin 94
Lance vs. Ali
Foster should be back for Ali this week which provides Ali even more fuel for the fantasy mack truck he has built. This team looks unstoppable. The only weakness is that A. J. Green may have to start this week with Nicks injury. Lance still does not stand a chance as he rosters no starting QB. Lance needs to make a move sooner than later before he is on the outside of the playoffs. Get it done Lance. ESPN has this Ali 179 – Lance 119. I can’t predict Ali to score more than me so I’ll score this one Lance 105 – Ali 174.
LIVE vs. LALLY
It is a battle of undefeated teams. It shapes up to be a nice match up. Henne and Fitz vs. Eli and Orton – advantage LIVE. Rice, Tolbert, and Thomas vs. Starks, Best, and McCoy – advantage Lally. This match-up may come down to the injury to Dez Bryant. If Lally plays this one wrong it could cost him the win. ESPN has it LIVE 180 – Lally 154. I think Lally plays it right and gets the win in a far lower scoring match than ESPN predicts. LIVE 138 – Lally 143
Kyle vs. Raj
At first glance it looks like Kyle may have a big advantage here, but Raj has Jay Cutler. Stop laughing, I’m serious. Cutler is going to be a top 5 QB in week 2. Mark it down. The Saints gave up a gillion passing yards in week one and are in no better shape going into week 2. I expect Collins and C. Johnson to continue to suck for Kyle. C. J. will not get his season going against the Ravens. ESPN had it Raj 160 – Kyle 150. I agree. Kyle 132 – Raj 137
Alex vs. John
Alex comes into this week as the underdog. It is easy to understand why. Alex is 0-1, John is 1-0. Alex has 7 players on the injury list, John has one. I do think Ryan and Big Ben will bounce back in week 2 for Alex but that will not be nearly enough. I’m calling this my LOCK OF THE WEEK. ESPN has it Alex 127 – John 151. I’ll score it Alex 95 – John 127.
Steve vs. Kevin
Steve has 2 of the best QBs in the league but I hate the rest of his team more and more every time I look at them. Woodhead, Cadillac, Ochocino, and Massaquio all have great names but none of them should be a starting fantasy player. If Calvin Johnson plays this week I believe Kevin will double up the score on Steve. ESPN has it Steve 143 – John 158. I don’t think it is that close. Steve 95 – Kevin 190.
