Well, one thing is clear after two weeks of the National Football League season – I apparently bring out the best in others. (At least, that’s what I’d like to think.)
Like the Patriots, I had an amazing comeback in Week 2 of our “Beat The Putz” contest following an average Week 1. Last Sunday, I posted a 12-2 record. Four contest players though took it even further posting records of 13-1 with Vicki White (51 tiebreaker points), of Westfield leading the way.
White takes home our weekly prize, a gift certificate to The Tavern Restaurant. She will also join 16 others in our grand prize drawing for a flat screen television courtesy of Manny’s TV & Appliances.
With that out of the way, Week 3 is nearly upon us, and it figures to be a doozy. Early prediction – chaos reigns.
A total of 10 teams are road favorites – three of whom (Dolphins, Broncos, Steelers) will likely be on everyone’s Survivor Pool radar – two home favorites Philadelphia and Carolina face two division rivals (NY Giants and New Orleans, respectively) desperate to avoid 0-3 starts, one game (Baltimore-Jacksonville) is being played in London, and another (Tampa-Minnesota) is off the board in Vegas as the Vikings starting quarterback Sam Bradford is likely a game-time decision with a bad knee.
That is a recipe for a crazy day of football Sunday.
I guess the only sure thing is Green Bay (at home against Cincy) and New England (home vs. Houston). But after the Patriots’ home loss on opening night, is anything really a given? – CAP
