Good evening sports fans. With the NFL kickoff just under 24 hours away, it’s time for our first installment of the weekly preview. Each week (usually by Thursday or Friday evening) I’ll pick every game on both the Premier League and Championship League schedule. I’ll try to give some insight as to why I believe Team A will defeat Team B. That said, let’s get going.
Week 1 Premier League Fixtures:
Game of the Week
Ruining Football vs. All Day Long
This looks much closer to me than what Yahoo is predicting. The only starter of Jeff’s that I don’t like is Benson, but he’s playing against a porous Denver defense. Kellan has huge upside with Warner, Megatron, Roddy White, and ADP. I think that Jeff squeaks it out by a Gostkowski extra point, validating his 13th round selection. Ruining Football by 1
TalentedMr.Gnomo vs. YesCedricMFBensonCan
Brees against Detroit – check, Houshmandzadeh against St. Louis – check, Rice against KC – check, Minnesota Defense vs. Cleveland QB to be named eventually – check. I like my match-ups much more than I like Christopher’s this week. TMG by 15
ObamanationWOOT vs. The New Yorker
First one to 90 points wins? Romo and Tomlinson should have nice weeks, but I think that Manning and Alan’s superior receivers will do enough to get the win. I wouldn’t bet on the over. Alan by 5.
ERock vs. theTOshow
Pierre Thomas has a sprained knee and Brandon Marshall is still crazy. Aaron Rodgers, Reggie Wayne, and Michael Turner lead the way for Jamie. theTOshow by 10
Pillow Fight of the Week
The Blaugrana vs. Creative Name
Are Correll Buckhalter and Brent Celeck really in the starting lineup for Shaun at game time? Look for Jon to get the win thanks to a big number from Baltimore’s D. Blaugrana by 7.
Week 1 Championship League Fixtures:
Game of the Week
skinsrule vs. girls gone wildcat
I think that Brees vs. Peterson is a coin flip, but I think that the rest of Cameron’s roster is just a little stronger this week. wildcat by 2
BuckNastyLlamas vs. Lunatic Lunchables
Jen isn’t fielding a team right now – maybe she’s not as focused as Jeff thought she’d be now that she’s, “birthed the little bugger.” I’m guessing that a roster will show up eventually. Just for the heck of it, I’ll pick her to get past Berb. Lunchables by 5
Novices vs. Off Constantly
Mr. Hill easily has the best 3 receiver set in either league. Rodgers, Colston, and Slaton will make it close, but I like the Novices by 3.
Crazy Flying Monkeys vs. The Brunells
Erin has also neglected to set up a roster as of Wednesday night, but we’ll try to make some sense of this anyway. Scott should get nice numbers from Warner, Berrain, and Tomlinson. Erin may or may not have a team. I can’t pick two teams without any players selected can I? Brunells by 8
Pillow Fight of the Week
What’s in a Name? vs. Screamin’ Weasels
Josh’s squad looks pretty strong this week – I think that he’ll ride Rivers and Boldin to a big win. Weasels by 15

And week 1, coach of the Creative Names, makes a rookie mistake by listening to the press instead of starting Buckhalter like his gut told him too and it cost him the game. Let's see if he learns anything from this mistake.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Two recievers turning in gooseeggs didn't help either.
