Week 2 is Dunn by a Spicy Lackey Dawg

Wow, some high scores this week and some bounce backs, most notably Lackey putting the kibosh to draft partner Knights and smacking him 124.8 points, even with a lame Daunte. Speaking of Knights, there are problems at The Knight Castle. Turns out GM Scott was on the trading bullhorn all night long, even asking for a McAllister Relief Fund instead of the erstwhile one for Katrina. Hoping this year would be different, the Knights are in a familiar spot, at the bottom of the conference, nearly conceding head-to-head and looking for trading action. One more pick and my team is set, NOT. Hey, at least he’s still ahead of reigning total points Champ, Big Pimpin. Olu is still trying to identify names of Kansas City ballboys who have a better chance of catching a touchdown than his starting three wide receivers. Combined.

The Lessems are in the Valley hiz-house, racking up points and victories, though Nima and Jason will see to it that Sophie gets her Choice by only allowing one Lessem into the playoffs. Less is more, as far as they are concerned.

Two perennial duds, Old Spicy and The Dunn Boys are on top of old smoky, all covered with cheese. They go head-to-head this weekend so look for there to be only two undefeated teams in the Valley next week, Silent Treatment and the winner of “Reborn Fantasy Team Bowl.” Note, Spicy is on top of the Power Rankings.

Speaking of Power Rankings and undefeated teams, the SuperCats and the Sexpots strut their stuff this week. Seth is playing with a weaker group of wide receivers than he normally has, because the less weak of the group are on bye. Meanwhile, Norv Turner will game plan intensely for the game against the Eagles. So far, he has come up with Randy, Randy and more Randy.

GoodFellas and Dy-No-Mite are out of sight. Really, the City division has not seen them. I think both are second guessing their decision to join this rough and rumble sour patch of deadly fantasy football teams. To his credit, Tony already got his money back by winning the Survivor Pool after the first week. $250 goes his way.

Speaking of Survivor Pool, if you are ever in Vegas with Omri, Jason / David or Justin / Kevin, DO NOT listen to their football picks. How can anyone lose a Survivor Pool back to back is beyond me. The Dunn Boys are on top of Pick ‘Em.

The Valley Conference has quickly turned into a two horse and one cheeky shark race, as predicted. The Sharks put up a stinker this week. Kosher Dog is 0-2 but has a respectable almost 200 points. That means, he is getting the short end of the stick schedule wise, keep an eye on him.

I predict this is the week the Valley Conference becomes a 5 team playoff race with Knights and Big Pimpin going 0-3 and going bye-bye to head-to-head. In the City, Dy-No-Mite needs a win to stay in the hunt. Crazy, after three weeks, teams might be out of the hunt?

That’s a wrap. My lock this week? Cincy is a 3 point favorite at Chicago right now. That line should jump to about 6.5 by game time.
