Week 2 News and Notes

It's hard to say that things are beginning to sort themselves out, but with two weeks in the books the losers are becoming more apparent. Boco's Ballin' Army is following up a playoff season with a dismal 0-2 start. Durangatang Monkey Squirt is picking up right where he left off by losing their first two as well. With that said, these two teams have also seen an inordinate amount of points scored against them as well (DMS 218 and BBA 190). These two teams go head to head next week, so one of them will be falsely, and temporarily, complimented with a win.

On the flip side, there are two teams that have not suffered a loss in either week, Harry Brown Bush's Aroma and C-Springs Asphalt Walri. Both averaging over 105 points per game, these potent teams are proving to be a factor early in 2011. Harry Brown is being led by Calvin Johnson and healthy Ryan Matthews while Asphalt Walri is led by Matthew Stafford and Daren McFadden.

Injuries have taken a toll on several teams, including defending champion Big Swingin' D, whom has had little to no production from his league-winning running bcak Arian Foster. Boco's Ballin' Army saw their star running back, Jamaal Charles end his season with an ACL tear. Boats N' Hoes starting qaurterback Peyton Manning will likely see no action in 2011, leaving them with backup Rex Grossman to carry the load. L.A. Patriots had an enormous week from Miles Austin (32 points) before losing him to an injury that could sideline him for many weeks. He will be counting on Kenny Britt and Dwayne Bowe to take him forward for the time being.

Week three offers a few intriguing match-ups that you would be wise to keep an eye on. First, the Asphalt Walri will be taking on the Lone Star Super Squirrels. Last season the point differential only favored Walri by a measly 5.1 points. This should be a battle all the way through Monday night. Similarly, Yo Bitches will be trying to recreate the magic that was a 4.5 point victory over L.A. Patriots last season.
