Fantasy Football Week 1 Wrap Up

Not only did my picks suck this week but I got edged out by Big Game Hunter in Week 1 of my Fantasy Football League. I lost 91.98 to 90.66. I'm blaming it on the scoring model, or the commish of our league or something. The matchup is below:

Cold Ones vs Big Game Hunter
Carson Palmer (QB - Cin) ----- Jon Kitna (QB - Det)
Terrell Owens (WR - Dal) ----- Reggie Wayne (WR - Ind)
Roy Williams (WR - Det) ----- Donald Driver (WR - GB)
Lee Evans (WR - Buf) ----- Vincent Jackson (WR - SD)
Marshawn Lynch (RB - Buf) ----- Steven Jackson (RB - STL)
Thomas Jones (RB - NYJ) ----- Michael Turner (RB - ATL)
LJ Smith (TE - Phi) ----- Jeremy Shockey (TE - NO)
Jeff Reed (K - Pitt) ----- Josh Brown (K - STL)
Indianapolis (DEF) ----- Oakland (DEF)

Not only did Carson Palmer lay an egg against Baltimore, but the Colts gave up 29 points to the Bears. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Bears won't score that many points again this season. Add in that late TD scored by Vincent Jackson against the Panthers and I guess that's where the loss comes from. Cold Ones, practice will be hard this week, I'm putting that out there now.

The rest of the games went accordingly:

Potomac PimpSlappers vs The Quite Franklies
The Quite Franklies in a rout (largest of the week) against the Potomac PimpSlappers, 101.68 to 49.14. This was over when Marion Barber started getting off against Cleveland and the Bears D starting laying the smacketh down on the Colts. It didn't help that the Potomac PimpSlappers lost their starting QB, Tom Brady, for the year.

Silver & Black Rules vs They Might Be Giants
Silver & Black Rules actually played better than the team they represent, by winning a close game 84.40 to 74.18. Brian Westbrook led the S&B Rules to the win while Laveranues Coles failed to show up for the They Might Be Giants team.

RobbBobbyBilly vs Charlotte PrimeTime!
RobbBobbyBilly caught fire as Drew Brees did against the Bucs and led his team to a 80.42 to 60.02 win over the Charlotte PrimeTime! team. Charlotte PrimeTime! really flamed out with no one but Antonio Gates really playing worth anything.

Techno Raiders vs Air Raiders
Another relatively close game with the Techno Raiders winning 88.34 to 64.86 over the Air Raiders. We though this would be a blowout of monumental standards when Donovan McNabb started airing it out like it was a video game and with Hines Ward playing MC Hammer (You can't touch this), but the rest of the team kind of took the week off and the Techno Raiders cruised to victory.

RDU Saints vs Tha Bruthaz
The RDU Saints were doing everything but blessing Tha Bruthaz this week during their matchup, with the RDU Saints winning 104.90 to 64.18. The RDU Saints were led by Frank (not Al) Gore and Reggie Bush. Tha Bruthaz got nothing from Torry Holt, Dallas Clark, and Isaac Bruce.

There's always next week.

Tha Bruthaz (0-1) vs. Cold Ones (0-1)
They Might Be Giants (0-1) vs. The Quite Franklies (1-0)
RDU Saints (1-0) vs. Potomac PimpSlappers (0-1)
Silver and Black Rules (1-0) vs. Charlotte PrimeTime! (0-1)
RobbBobbyBilly (1-0) vs. Air Raiders (0-1)
Techno Raiders (1-0) vs. Big Game Hunter (1-0)
