Week 2 Recap


Injuries, Suspensions, and more Injuries.... Here we go:

Sauce'n Ain't Easy vs. Mayonnaise Colored Benz - Mayonnaise Colored Benz won 100.1 to 86.8. I dodged a bullet this week thanks to DeMarco Murray and the Patriots D and thanks to Sauce'n Ain't Easy for picking the wrong Patriots RB again and sitting Phillip Rivers.

The trap Black Bottle vs. Chips N Dip - Chips N Dip won 110.9 to 109.5. This matchup came all the way down to the wire. Chips N Dip can thank the Chargers for kicking a meaningless FG which brought The trap Black Bottle's Defense down to -3 points.

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. Chocolate Starfish - Chocolate Starfish won 131.9 to 111.1. Chocolate Starfish had huge performances from Jordy Nelson and the Bills D/ST. Also A.J. Green missed pretty much the entire game with a hangnail.

The Blackhole Black vs. Double Decker. Double Decker won 96.1 to 76.7. Double Decker rode Jimmy Graham to this victory, however, The Blackhole Black just didn't have anyone step up this week.

2014 FemmineIoVinco vs. Child Please - 2014 FemmineIoVinco won 94.8 to 91.2. This matchup came down to the Monday night game. LeSean McCoy and Cody Parkey lifted 2014 FemmineIoVinco to victory, but it could have easily been a loss.

Back Pats:
Double Decker - Jimmy Graham killed it this week.

Chocolate Starfish - Jordy Nelson may be back.

Chips N Dip - Aaron Rodgers may also be back.

Mayonnaise Colored Benz - Demarco Murray is a beast so far this year.

C'Mon Man:
Child Please - Sat Sammy Watkins on his breakout week.

The trap Black Bottle - I'm not a fan of the Saints RBs but sitting Ingram for Shonne Green???

Bold Predictions:
This week I went 3-2, I'm 4-6 on the season.

Mayonnaise Colored Benz vs. Chocolate Starfish - Mayonnaise Colored Benz wins. No explanation necessary.

Child Please vs. Chips N Dip - Child Please has more favorable matchups, but Chips N Dip has been finding ways to pull out wins. Chips N Dip wins.

The trap Black Bottle vs. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - Sauce'n Ain't Easy has got some extremely favorable matchups. Sauce'n Ain't Easy wins.

Double Decker vs. 2014 FemmineIoVinco - Double Decker will hand 2014 FemmineIoVinco his first loss. Double Decker wins.

Week 1 Recap

Week 1 Power Rankings
The season has begun! Here we go.

Chips N Dip vs. Mayonnaise Colored Benz - Chips N Dip won 106.8 to 98.5. I wasted big performances by Julius Thomas and Demarco Murray this week thanks to Jamaal Charles, Victor Cruz and Michael Crabtree all getting less than 4 points. Chips N Dip looks like he has a stud in Cordarrelle Patterson.

Chocolate Starfish vs. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - Sauce'n Ain't Easy won 113.9 to 88.9. Both teams only had 3 guys score more than 10 points. Sauce'n Ain't Easy happened to have 3 players account for 82.6 points.

Double Decker vs. The trap Black Bottle - The trap Black Bottle won 100.6 to 97.2. This game was decided by Double Decker starting Ben Roethlisberger over Andrew Luck. Also The trap Black Bottle's RBs show up to play after I said there were no starters in the bunch. Lets see if that keeps up.

Child Please vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers - Red Hot Julius Peppers won 123.5 to 94.5. Child Please' studs had less than average weeks this week. However, Red Hot Julius Peppers 1,2 punch of Calvin Johnson and A.J. Green started off with a bang. His total score could have been 22 points higher had he started Matt Ryan. Wow.

The Blackhole Black vs. 2014 FemmineIoVinco - 2014 FemmineIoVinco won 110.9 to 88.6. 2014 FemmineIoVinco pulls this out with double digits from all of his receiver position players. The Rams D and not starting Matthew Stafford dropped his total down so this could have been way worse.

Back Pats:
Chips N Dip - Cordarrelle Patterson looks like a threat to get the bonus either running or receiving on a weekly basis.

Sauce'n Ain't Easy - Marshawn Lynch and Le'Veon Bell killed it. If they keep it up he may be a threat to repeat.

Red Hot Julius Peppers - Calvin Johnson and A.J. Green.... gonna get ugly.
2014 FemmineIoVinco - Play Matthew Stafford.

C'Mon Man:
Mayonnaise Colored Benz - left 32 receiver points on the bench. Could have replace the 4.9 I started between Cruz and Crabtree.

Double Decker - Andrew Luck should be your #1. Period.

Bold Predictions:
Last week I went 1-4 in my picks. Horrible start.

Sauce'n Ain't Easy vs. Mayonnaise Colored Benz - After watching the games last week this matchup could get ugly, but I can't go against myself yet. Mayonnaise Colored Benz wins.

The trap Black Bottle vs. Chips N Dip - The trap Black Bottle is going to need a huge performance by somebody, and those are hard to predict. Chips N Dip wins.

Red Hot Julius Peppers vs. Chocolate Starfish - Gonna go with big games by Red Hot Julius Peppers Receivers. Red Hot Julius Peppers wins.

The Blackhole Black vs. Double Decker -  This is looking like the close matchup of the week. Double Decker should squeak out of this won with the win.

2014 FemmineIoVinco vs. Child Please - Child Please has 2 players going against Oakland and 1 going against the Giant, probably the 2 worst teams last week. Child Please wins.

2014 FemmineIoVinco is the early favorite in my opinion, however, he never manages his team properly. With that being said I am predicting Double Decker vs. Mayonnaise Colored Benz in the championship with Double Decker taking home the cash.

Week 1:
Chips N Dip vs. Mayonnaise Colored Benz - Aaron Rodgers against Seattle to open the season on Thursday night doesn't look good for Chips N Dip. Mayonnaise Colored Benz wins this matchup.

Chocolate Starfish vs. Sauce'n Ain't Easy - This one is a toss up. I'm gonna go with Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch having big games on Thursday night. Sauce'n Ain't Easy wins.

Double Decker vs. The trap Black Bottle - The trap Black Bottle will have to hope that somebody other than Jimmy Graham has a big day. Not likely. Plus his lack of RBs make this a no brainer. Double Decker wins.

Child Please vs. Red Hot Julius Peppers - Red Hot Julius Peppers' WRs are not going to score enough to make up for the bad RB play this week. Child Please wins.

The Blackhole Black vs. 2014 FemmineIoVinco - UPSET SPECIAL 2014 FemmineIoVinco's RBs and WRs have bad matchups this week. The Blackhole Black wins.
