Monday Monday

I'm always reminded why I like the NFL so much when the season starts. You think you can handicap these teams and some of them always surprise you. The two biggest upsets of the day were had by the Niners and the Dolphins. The only one of my upset picks that panned out was New Orleans beating Carolina. The Saints have been through a lot this preseason, undoubtedly the least-practiced team of the lot, but they were extremely motivated to win. Good job, guys.

Tonight's game promises to be fun as well. My Yahoo! FFL game is already won, but my BDFL week 1 game pits Donovan McNabb and 11 BDFL points against Brian Westbrook. You know, the Hellions could win this week... NOT! I went 0-5 to start last season, so to get a win early against my divisional rival would be a good thing. :)

Our Yahoo! Pick'Em group's game has changed drastically this year. The addition of confidence points makes the point totals quite wild. I don't know if I'll recommend using them again. I'm also participating in Rotoguru's Football Pickoff again this season. (Ouch.)

The matchups did not favor me this weekend. But I am happy with my teams performance, and with a lineup change or so I could have won. Your defense won the game for the Outlets, Baltimore will not be playing Peyton Manning every week. So overall, I would say watch out!

I noticed a lot of smack talk in the various leagues, including the salary cap league in which I only pay minimal attention. I feel the need to remind everyone, it is a long season! I am awaiting the mass amount of box score watchers to make all their week 1 moves.

And you are kicking a$$ in the salary cap/BDFL/ and pick em! Its not fair! Also the draft pod cast was way cool, but having to wait till the 7th pick in the first round before hearing Scott open his beer was a bit of a drag for all of us who tuned in to hear you guys get umm lubed up!( wink, wink)
