Week #1: RHYS ROCKS! The lad from Boston finished at 14-2. His two miscues were picking the Bucs and the Packers. Congratulations on a fine outing.
Panzade, MizCowdoc and Cowdoc went 12-4 along with the best ESPN expert. Four players ended at 11-5. CoinToss was at 10-6 which was good enough to top six players plus the worst ESPN dud.
As a group we got 195 picks right out of 304 made for a winning mark of .642. That isn't a bad start to the season.
The Team Thing was surprisingly close with only a 5 game spread between the 6 teams.
Here's my final tally for the week.

Appropriately enough, today is Rhys's birthday.
@George,
Congrats and happy birthday to Rhys.
We'll blow out his candles next week.
@George,
Sweet! Happy Birthday, Rhys!
@George,
See what clean living will do for you...Not only did Rhys win the 1st week in our NFL A2k Pick-um game but he absolutely crushed me in Fantasy Football's inaugural week. Crushed me. And he is in the playoffs of Fantasy Baseball, matched against George.
Spectacular picks on the hardest Sunday of the season. Congrats!

@edgarblythe,
Thanks, Edgar, but you skipped Detroit @ Arizona.
It occurs to me that my week #1 picks - and a sorry lot, they were - are causing me to owe Ragman a virtual bottle of his favorite Pinot Noir (which he managed not to say the name of). It's flying in the sky toward Florida as we speak.

@ossobuco,
I'm sure that wine will come flying back at you in boomerang formation this weekend....judging by the difficulty of these matches.
@Ragman,
I know. I'm avoiding deciding. I'm sure of about half, but of course I'll be wrong on some of those.
Still, I remember one time when my score was
3.
@ossobuco,
<panzade intercepts and makes a nifty catch of the errant bottle>
Ahhh Anthill Farms 2009...good choice Rags!
