The league kicked off our 24th year by scoring more than 1,000 points in week one and most of the matchups were super close. We saw point margins of 1, 2, 3, 4, 9 and 56.
The East Division currently holds the top three spots in the standings but that won't last because the first set of intradivisional games starts this week. Make sure your team is ready!

And now the Comm-nosticator’s predictions for week 2:
Dumbbums (-1/2) vs. Renegades
Yes, I am aware that the Renegades were our highest scoring team by a wide margin. And they won the biggest blowout. And they have the best drafted team (A+!). But the matchups are leaning things in the direction of the 'Bums, and that's even if the overall #1 pick is able to get onto the field.
Spiked Vipers (-1/2) vs. Yuengling Brewers
They may be in last place now, but SpiVi was only a couple points away from a win and a much higher spot in the standings. They look poised for a rebound game this week. But we'll have to wait until after dinner on Sunday to have any idea about the outcome. Five players (including both QBs) are scheduled in the night games.
Phys. Ed. Phenoms (-1/2) vs. Predacons
The Preds earned an A grade for their draft and were projected to score the most points in the league in week one. That didn't happen and now they find themselves in 11th place after ending up on the wrong end of the biggest blowout. PEP was slightly better but still lost by a couple, so both are looking to not go 0-2 to start the season.
Marauders (-1/2) vs. Baltimorons
You'd think Coach Hoss's team would have an easy one this week based on the matchups, but we all know how these things go. Both teams start things off tonight but we'll have to wait for three Marauders in prime time to see if the comeback worked.
the HAW (-1/2) vs. Stiletto Stompers
The CAPS had a solid week to start the season but managed to end up with a loss. In fact, they outscored all but two of the teams in the league, including the Stompers. They'll get a chance to make up for it here and the projections are in their favor.
And the game of the week...
Lightning (-1/2) vs. Misfits, Inc.
This is going to be a good one. It might not be the highest scoring game of the week but it's looking like the most evenly matched. The Bolts will get a head start tonight and then FitzCorp will be waiting on the two WR night game performances for the comeback.
Good luck this week.
