I was robbed - by the coach!
YAAAY!
My thanks to the mural artist who painted the donkey and to my mom for providing the pin.
Narf, I rule! I'm givin' you all a false sense of security. Then I'll make my move. To where, I have no idea.
1 point! W00p!
Nah, jes, that was just the early games. You did much better the rest of the day. Here are the standings heading into tonight. lmur, of course, is already out of reach but there's plenty of fighting left to be done for second place.

George, Ragman, ci, and fbaezer concur with ehbeth's pick of Washington in tonight's game and cannot catch her for second place. Cyclo, RP, panzade, and rjb have each picked Philadelphia and can pull into a tie for second with an Eagles win tonight.
I am going to have to seriously rethink my picks for Houston in the future... their defense is playing great.
And who could have guessed that Cleveland would hang 50+ on Cinci?

I have the packers D on my fantasy league; should have played them this week.
Who are they playing next week?

Something else that may be interesting to track as the season progresses is the week-to-week place averages and (deviations). This is an indication of the average weekly ranking and consistency across weeks.
After two weeks we have Ragman with the best average place standing; Miz Doc, jes, Tico, Ragman, Cyclo, osso, and edgar with consistent place finishes; fbaezer, Pantalones, and JPB are flying all over the place; and chiso and kicky didn't play this week.
