1. I think these are real tough this week...the point spreads at least...
...the spreads seem to be getting wider and at only week 2 you can't really tell yet who is good and who isn't.

4. Here's the great thing about this:
No money is on the line. The only prize is one of these:

I picked S.F. against my better judgement because I hate betting against them.

sports.

9. This is the first time in several years I played in one
It does screw up how you root for the game. I avoided drafting all players from the NFC West except for Larry Fitzgerald to try to minimize this conflict of interest.

6. I'm only gonna say one thing in the hopes of lighting a fire so to speak
I think my Skins win but no way do they make a 10 pt spread. I think its 3 or 7 points.

Edited on Fri Sep-18-09 03:17 PM by brendan120678
It will be an exciting game.

Any hopes of "America's Team" going on another undefeated season run will end Sunday.

Edited on Tue Sep-22-09 04:11 PM by Forkboy
I double and triple guessed at least half of those games. I over think the games, if anything. What sucks though is that as bad as I did here I got 5 of 6 right on my football card (For entertainment purposes only. Please don't gamble :evilgrin: ), with only the Pats killing me from picking up some cool cash. Torpedoed by my own team! I had a rule for a long time never to gamble on my home teams, but I got cocky. Time to go back to skipping those games.

And I've got to get mind off of hockey to do this right, but that's a tall order. :)

40. I think this week was easier then last week
It's so hard to determine without seeing anyone play yet and this is a different year with different teams from last year and without knowing the type of impact rookies and offseason signings will have. I watched 7 games last week and saw all the highlights of the games so it was fairly easy for me. :) One thing though I would have picked the Giants to beat the Cowboys but since my fantasy opponent had the Giants D I was in the unbearable, gut-wrenching situation of rooting for the Cowboys.
