WEEK #2 SCHEDULE
There is no Thursday night game, so we can pick up to the 1st game on Sunday.
You can change a selection if you are so inclined before 1 pm ET U.S. So there is no need to postpone you posting early.

Sunday, Sept 20th - Early Games:
Houston @ Tennessee
Minnesota @ Detroit
Carolina @ Atlanta
New Orleans @ Philadelphia
Arizona @ Jacksonville
Oakland @ Kansas City
Cincinatti @ Green Bay
New England @ NY Jets
Saint Louis @ Washington

Sunday, Sept 20th - Late Games:
Tampa Bay @ Buffalo
Seattle @ San Francisco
Baltimore @ San Diego
Cleveland @ Denver
Pittsburgh @ Chicago

Sunday, Sept 20th - Night Game:
NY Giants @ Dallas

Monday, Sept 21st - Night Game:
Indianapolis @ Miami

16 games and please remember to post your guess as to the final score in the Monday night game.
New players are welcome. You can see that some of us know what we are doing (or are lucky) and then there are the rest of us. Standings are determined by a player's winning %, so there is no penalty for having missed Week #1.
Thanks...and good luck to everyone.

Rockhead is aware of the deadline for getting his picks in. Ragman and JPinMilw seem to have gone missing from A2K for the past few days.
In this Week #2 there are no games in which we are unanimous in our picks. ElStud alone has Houston topping Tennessee. Only Jespah favors St Louis against Washington. Alex convinced Mysteryman to join him in taking Detroit over Minnesota. Spendius and ElStud are not cheeseheads, choosing Cincy. JPB and Edgar see sunny skies for Miami hosting Indy,
At the other end of the spectrum are a couple of games I am calling tossups with regards to our picks so far: Arizona @ Jacksonville and the NYG @ Dallas.
Those are the rows. Here are the columns, with picks in either of the 2 tossup games being considered a vote in the majority.
Panzade and Maporsche agree with the majority on all 16 games. They agree with each other 100% - both having Jacksonville and Dallas.
At 15-1 are Region, McGentrix and JPB. They disagree with the majority on 3 different games. Region has Philly, McGentrix is going with Chicago and JPB, as mentioned, with Miami.
A bunch of us are agreeable at 14-2 or 13-3 or 12-4.
And then there is Spendius. And then there is Spendius. He agrees with the majority on only 7 -I say 7- games. Hmm.

Eeek.... that's not normally a position I like myself to be in. It's hard to take the lead if you're picking the same games as everyone else. I'll need to rethink a few games.

Happy birthday weekend, Ragman!
We are off, with the early Sunday games just having started. 9 of them.
27 of last week's 28 players are back. We are missing JPinMilw who hasn't been on A2K since Sept 8th. We will, I hope, see him again.

Texans just gave up what the broadcasters are calling the easiest touchdown in the history of pro football.

Amusingly though, Edgar, my WR from the Texans, Andre Johnson, has racked up 23 Fantasy Points in less than a half. He was projected to get 9 for the game.

@realjohnboy,
Ou know what that means though, for the nex. Few games he's going get less than his projection until things even out. It's the 3rd law of fantasy football.

@maporsche,
Probably true. But I live or die in football week by week. A week is as far ahead as I can see.

Still in shock. Texans win. Tennessee begins the season 0-2.

9 games over with and we all must nod to ElStud who had, all by himself, Houston and along with Spendius, Cincy over Green Bay.
ElStud is 8-1. Clubber is 7-2.
It goes downhill from there. Jespah got Minnesota over Detroit right but that was all she got right.

My RB, Darren Sproles, already has 14 fantasy points, and its not even halftime yet.
