WEEK 2
another week.. another round of predictions.. i'm gonna have to get use to writing earlier predictions w/ a Thursday game every week this season.. sighh.. here we go! feel free to comment, criticize, scold, praise my predictions! :)

errrdayimRussell'in vs odoyle RULES

QB: i am confident this is the week Russell bounces back and tears it up.. maybe not as much as i'd like because the Cowboys defense is pretty scary w/ Ware in there.. but he'll put up decent numbers.. can't match matty ice though.. break out season a comin
(PICK--> odoyle RULES)

WR: 'Tron & Roddy put up decent numbers for me last week even w/o hitting pay dirt. this week, they each get at least one, maybe more, V-Jax also breaks out. Tim picks up Ogletree to try and bolster his mediocre receiving corp... to NO avail. sorry bud.
(PICK--> errrdayimRussell'in)

RB: McCoy + Murray > The Law Firm + Stevan Ridley HOWEVER, not this week. McCoy has a tough match-up vs the Ravens D and Murray is going against a formidable&stingy Hawks' D at home..(of the 12th man.. which i guess now Tim is a part of) LawFirm put up superb numbers vs the Ravens D though.... so maybe McCoy will have some success but i would lean more towards him being a bust this week. Ridley w/ what... 200 yfs it seems like? even though i hate the Patriots, i love my dark horse, Stevan Ridley.
(PICK--> errrdayimRussell'in)

TE: Olsen looked pretty good even w/ a so-so game from game. i'm still weary w/ Witten's ruptured spleen for the time being
(PICK--> odoyle RULES)

K: Hanson will keep kicking FG's if Lions can't get in the endzone because Stafford throws 5 more picks.. but Bironas won't get any opportunities at all because CJ2LAME averaged 0.2 yds per carry this last week.. sighh
(PICK--> odoyle RULES)

DEF: i like my Seahawks D at home because they always seem super good there as opposed to playing on the road but the Cowboys looked super good on offense, could spell trouble and NE is playing zona'.. they will break Kevin Kolb.. i hate that guy for leading the Cardinals to a victory over Russell and the Hawks..
(PICK--> odoyle RULES)

WINNER: odoyle RULES

Green Nicks and Cam vs choubacca
 *disclaimer: I was tempted to just give Aaron the win right off the bat because of Chubs' lame attempt at a witty name.. sorry bud, your old name was better*

QB: Aaron being bold and starting RGIII over Vick but i can't blame him. Vick had what? 17 turnovers? 11 INT's, 2 pick6's, and 4 lost fumbles.. yeah sounds bout right, but will RGIII have the same stat line this week as he did in week 1? he's a rookie.. we'll see. Cam is gonna bounce back right and DESTROY those cheating/dirty playing Saints to the tune of 300+ passing yds, 75 rushing, 3 TD's. BOOM!
(PICK--> Green Nicks and Cam)

WR: AJ will be good for Chubs but Nicks and Bryant worry me because of injury/lingering injury Cruz will bounce back from his 10 drops last game and come up huge because he misses his salsa dancing in the end zone and he wants to be able to dance this week. i did not realize how scary good Peyton would be.. Demaryius Thomas gets a HUGE boost in my book and his stats proved he is to be reckoned with. Cobb??! What? it seems like the Packers lined this guy up at WR, RB, return, TE, QB, punter, kicker... he's everywhere! 
(PICK--> choubacca)

RB: I feel bad for Richardson because everyone knows that Cleveland sucks so they stack the box w/ 11 people.. but Foster should make up for Richardson's ineffectiveness. Lynch got his numbers and so did Reggie Bush but can they beat Foster's numbers? doubt it.
(PICK--> choubacca)

TE: scary moment for Aaron as Gates left the game on Monday night because of a rib injury, but he was able to return. he also let 2 potential TD's slip through his hands.. it won't happen this week. Pettigrew dropped at least 10 passes last week. he's huge but he's got terrible hands.. all the more reason to throw it to megatron so i can get more points! :)
(PICK--> choubacca)
 
K: did anyone see David Akers face on Sportscenter Top10 after he kicked his record tying 63 yd FG? LOLLL if you didn't look it up. it's amazing
(PICK--> Green Nicks and Cam)
 
DEF: Green Bay got straight up embarrassed against the 49ers.. but the Giants also got torched by the Cowboys.. toss up.. 
(PICK--> choubacca)

WINNER: choubacca

Rainbow Warriors vs QuitPooingOnMe Tim
*also tempted to automatically give Jeff the win because apparently Justina has been a terrible influence on David while they were roommates and now he is ALSO making things difficult w/ the name changing*

QB: Rodgers seemed pissed about the shlacking his team took at home.. he comes out this week and goes crazy.. Eli will be serviceable but won't put up Rodgers numbers this week
(PICK--> Rainbow Warriors)

WR: Lloyd is a legit deep threat but it's all about the TE's in New England Desean is 2nd option to Maclin it seems like and Antonio Brown didn't do as much as I expected week 1. Andre Johnson looked scary good in week 1 like he did 3-4 years ago and as long as his hamstrings don't snap, he'll be on a roll. Harvin is the ONLY receiver Vikes' have.. everyone else outside of him and AP is moot and does not need to be discussed. and Decker will be great this season just like Thomas because of Peyton and his healed up neck (hopefully i didn't jinx him)
(PICK--> QuitPooingOnMe Tim)

RB: CJ2'LAME' and Ryan Mathews? (he's not even cleared for contact) you better get him outta your line up David.. ride Gore while you can Jeff.. he'll start to wear down by week 3.. lol (it happened to me last year when i had him.. super frustrating) and where did AP come from? didn't he just shatter his leg like 6 months ago? this guy is Wolverine in disguise.. 
(PICK--> Rainbow Warriors)

TE: #1 and #2 TE's in the league head to head this week. they both have favorable match ups against so so D's.. Graham doesn't have to share w/ another elite TE though
(PICK--> QuitPooingOnMe Tim)
 
K: Sea-Bass seriously makes kicking FG's look so easy that anyone can do it.. maybe all kickers should add on an extra 80 lbs like him and they can kick further also... just a thought
(PICK--> Rainbow Warriors)
 
DEF: normally this wouldn't be a question as the 49ers are clearly one of the top defensive units in the league.. they showed it against that potent GB offense last week. but Houston is playing Jacksonville this week. and 49ers up against another potent Lion's offense.. so i gotta go w/ Houston this week
(PICK--> Rainbow Warriors)

WINNER: Rainbow Warriors
  
The Debbinator vs Spider Pig

QB: Panthers D will shut down Brees THEY MUST!! (well not shut down cause that is impossible but he will not have a super 'brees'-y day.. ohhhhh see, that's something i know Chubs would say) Brady throws all over Arizona
(PICK--> Spider Pig)

WR: did i not call Welker coming back down to earth? he had 1 catch? 10 yds last week? LOLL it's gonna be like that most of the season w/ a few occasional good weeks. this won't be one. Steve Smith and Malcom will be decent if not great this week w/ their match-ups. Fitz is an elite WR but his QB's in Zona just plain suck.. both Skeleton and Klob... sorry Garcon has been a pleasant surprise as i didn't think his preseason stuff would translate to the regular season, so far, i've been wrong
(PICK--> Spider Pig)

RB: hurts to have Forte doesn't it. if da Bears didn't sign Michael Bush, I would say Forte would be a top 5 fantasy back but Bush is just going to steal all the goal line carries.. Forte was lucky he hit pay dirt last week w/ a TD.. McGahee will get his looks and holes w/ Peyton calling the shots.... buttttttttt with that said: Luke's RB's are down right PITIFUL. Charles and DeAngelo? feel so bad for you. anyone on my team is up for trade Luke, except Wilson.. make me an offer)
(PICK--> The Debbinator)

TE: Vernon Davis tried to dunk the ball over the FG cross bar after he scored a TD. he got rejected. i will give David the win just because Davis tried to look cool but ended up looking like an idiot
(PICK--> The Debbinator)
 
K: i like Matt Bryant's match up better this week
(PICK--> Spider Pig)
 
DEF: i'm going w/ the Eagles this week as Rodgers and GB are looking for revenge.. against a division rival in da Bears? watch out Urlacher..
(PICK--> The Debbinator)

WINNER: *tied 3-3* intangibles= Spider Pig

THE Pain Train vs RelientK

QB: Stafford bounces back this week and throws 4 TD passes instead of 4 picks.. sorry Tony.. you won't put up enough points to win this match up this week
(PICK--> THE Pain Train)

WR: whoaaa Julio Jonesssss... and Reggie Wayne has become young again.. (or maybe because he has a decent QB throwing to him again.. watch out..) Marshall and Cutler obviously have that bromance connection going on and Nelson will get his with Rodgers throwing the ball. Bowe is good but Cassell sucks harder than... everything. Stevie Johnson X factor this week
(PICK--> THE Pain Train)

RB: this one is really hard to call. Run DMC had a ridiculous 18 targets week 1 and caught 13! salvaged his day b/c he averaged 2.3 yds per carry. and what a SMART handcuff by picking up CJ Spiller Gabs'.. props to you buddy. but Laura has Ray Rice and now MJD is back (Jennings suffered a knee injury) little MoJo didn't look like he missed a beat w/ his touches last week. close match up but advantage to
(PICK--> RelientK)

TE: Finley seems to be a redzone fav for Rodgers..a TD to start the year.. not bad. I didn't hear Fred Davis' name last week
(PICK--> THE Pain Train)
 
K: Saurbrun!!!! ...... i mean Prater. 
(PICK--> RelientK)
 
DEF: Ravens match up worse against Eagles than Steelers against Jets. BUT did you see Sanchez? his numbers were crazy good last week. I guess bringing in Tebow was good.. he will continue his stellar play.. for this week at least against a depleted Steelers D
(PICK--> THE Pain Train)

 WINNER: THE Pain Train
