Our Fantasy Football Bowl kicked off last night when the Falcons hosted Detroit. My opponent played Matt Ryan and Michael Turner while I had the more dud than stud lately, WR Roddy White. My hope was that the Ryan/Turner combo would limit out at 15 points and that White could maybe get a TD to partially offset that.
Well me of little faith. White went for two TDs and over 100 yards for 15 points while my opponent get 12 points from Ryan and none from Turner. Instead of down by 9 or more points, I have a slight lead.
It should all be over by the time the 49ers and the Seahawks kick off tonight. Anybody who wants to should be able to follow the action here. At least I think you can since the league is public. If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll see if there's another way.
Update: The early games are done and we have a barn-burner going. I'm up 33-29, the difference with the ESPN score being the 3 points I get because the Pittsburgh defense did not allow an offense TD, and for which ESPN scoring doesn't have an option. My opponent Steve is relying on Chicago and Matt Forte and Brandon Marshall each having a big game. My hopes are pinned on Knowshon Moreno and kicker Lawrence Tynes.
At this point it has been a fun afternoon of seeing the score seesaw back and forth. Both teams have already acquited themselves well, so there will be no blowout or shame of one team or the other not showing up. Note though, that the tiebreaker is bench points and my opponent has many more than I. That's serious "What if?" material, but it also means a tie goes his way. Something very much to keep in mind if this stays a close battle.
Update 2: Ohhh...and a close loss for me, 41-35. Knowshon and Lawrence couldn't keep up with Matt and Brandon. So it goes, but it was a good battle. I'll take 2nd given the way the season turned out, and now attention will turn to next week's all-star game and then the playoff round. Hahaha...and you thought maybe all this nonsense was finally over.
