Week 1

Every week in my family league that I am the Commish of, I write up a my views on the match ups. The first three weeks are tough because we have double headers that start the year off with and I didn't get to it prior to Thursday night. How many other Commish's do this? Or is there anything else that Commish does that makes the league more interesting? I am always looking for ways to make the league I run more entertaining.

Week 1

Beaver Devils vs Rammer

QB -  Phillip Rivers faces a tough Texan D and doesn’t have that great of WR corp to throw the ball to this year. Tom Brady will have no trouble with passing the ball against the Bills D despite losing his top three targets from last year. Edge Rammer

RB – Jamaal Charles will love Andy Reid’s O this year and gets a great start to the year facing the Jag’s in the first game of the year. Ridley will see the rock but the Bills D is stingier against the run than the pass. Lynch faces a tough run D but will still see the rock 30 times this game so should put up points. Ball is the back up and with Stewart hurt, Rammer is left without a viable second option. Edge Beaver Devils.

WR – Garcon is healthy and the Eagles are not that great on D. AJ Green gets a tough secondary but Dalton faces tougher in the division. Gronk is not ready to be back so it is Witten or Oslen which neither is a great option. Decker will see plenty of balls and Hilton will top 100 yards too. Nelson is a question mark to start the season. Edge Rammer

K – Bailey will kick a few points this week. Zuerlein has a mega leg which could lead to a few long distance FG’s this week. Edge Rammer.

D – Chargers are going to get routed by the Texans this week. Seahawks will score at least 1 defensive TD against the Panthers. Edge Rammer

Rammer by 6

Kill Bill vs. Trex

QB – The last four time the Giants ventured into Dallas the teams combined for more than 60 points on average which means plenty of ball throwing by Romo. Rodgers goes out West to face a tough 49ers D. Edge Kill Bill

RB – David Wilson is slated to have a monster break out game this week in Dallas. Mathews will find it a tough go against the Texans D. Forte will find some daylight against the Bengals and the endzone while Lacy will be a bust against the 49ers. Edge Kill Bill

WR – Megatron will feast on the Vikqueens this week. Bryant will get Prince in coverage but it won’t be enough to stop the next Megatron in the making. Britt is a wild card – could be boom or bust this week. AJ still has the ability to put up big numbers and with the limited carries that Foster is expected to see he could be huge for AJ. Bowe will have a great day with Alex Smith against a bad Jag’s D. Gonzo is old and slow. Edge Trex

K – Hauschka will spend more times kicking PAT’s than FG’s. Gostkowski will see a few more FG’s than PAT shots. Edge Trex

D – Rams are a better D than people give credit to and will test the depleted O Line of the Cardinals. 49ers  D will give Rodgers and company fits all day long. Edge Kill Bill

Kill Bill by 5

Movin..Over Company vs. Weekend Warriors

QB – Peyton Manning put on a clinic on Thursday night and posted 50.10 points. Stafford will pass for over 400 yards against the Vikqueens but won’t amass 7 TD’s. Edge Movin..over Company

RB – Williams is the only guy to run the rock for the Panthers beside Cam but face a tough Seahawks D. AP will be the main source of production for the Vikqueens O and should top 190 yards on Sunday. CJ Spiller will have two TD’s – one on the ground and one via the air – by half against the Pats. Jackson is poised to be the top back this year but the Saints game could become a track meet. Edge Weekend Warriors.

WR – White is a bit dinged up but will be on the field. Colston is set for a track meet and will look to stretch the field. Brown is high on Big Ben’s list and will see plenty of action against the Titans. Steve Johnson is healing up and should be a barn burner for the Bills against the Pats. Cruz will be on the field and score at least once. Julio is the man in Atlanta and should put up 18 points this week. Edge Weekend Warriors.

K – Dawson will get plenty of FG shots but all within 30 yards against the Pack. Bryant may be kicking PAT’s in this track meet. Edge Movin..over Company

D – Vikqueens D will get a few sacks and an INT but will give up more than 30 points against the Lions. The Pat’s D will struggle in keeping the score low and won’t get a sack on EJ Manuel. Edge Movin…over Company

Prior to Thursday I’d put Weekend Warriors on top by 3 but after Manning I don’t think the WR trio of the Warriors will be enough. Movin..over Company by 4.

Got Jim? Vs. Green Machines

QB – Luck will be able to pass at will against the Raiders but may lose out some play calling to the running game. Kaepernick is ready to prove to the league he is no fluke and will put up as many yards on the ground as through the air this week. Edge Got Jim?

RB – Bush is the missing piece that the Lions needed and will be a huge factor in the Lions scoring more than 30 points against the Vikqueens. Ray Rice had a decent game against the Broncos but 12 carries is just not enough for this guy. Trent Richardson will be the workhorse for Cleveland as they have few other options. Chris Johnson is eager to show he is the back but may lose a TD or two to Greene. Edge Got Jim?

WR  - Marshall will get looks and catches against a very solid Bengals secondary. Thompkins is a wild card but showed good signs in Preseason. Graham will play this year without a broken wrist and watch out! Amendola will get plenty of action this week and will erase Welker’s numbers from Thursday night. Jones will be on the field but will face a tough secondary. Tate or Little are not very good options though. Edge Got Jim?

K Bullock will get at least four chances at FGs – question is will he make them. Tucker already put up 9 points which is solid for a kicker. Edge Got Jim?

D – Buc’s D is not great but the Jets O is even worse. Pack’s D struggled with Kap last time around and will so again. Edge Got Jim?

Got Jim? Is a route – by 12.

Bubbs vs. Youngbloods

QB  - Brees will look to top Manning’s numbers from Thursday night and he may just do that on Sunday. Cam gets a tough Seahawks D who are used to seeing a running QB. Edge Bubbs.

RB – Pierre Thomas will see a few carries but will take a back seat to Ingram. The Law Firm will struggle to see a lot of action as the rookie Bernard is slotted to start. Gore will get plenty of touches and yards against the Packers D this week. Morris is the man but rumor has it that he may lose carries to Helu this year. Edge YoungBloodz

WR – Wayne is getting older but he is still cagey. Moore will be lost in the WR circus in New Orleans – could be boom or bust. Finley will be the main target of Rodgers. Welker already put up 18.95 points. Austin is on the verge of re-emerging as a threat in the NFL. Smith is pissed at the media so he will have a decent game. Edge YoungBloodz

K – Walsh will see plenty of FG shots – even three from 50 yards or more. Akers will kick a couple of FG’s but more PATS. Edge Bubbs

D- The Donkeys D already posted 7 points which is respectable. The Steelers D is not what it used to but is still good enough to rattle Locker’s cage. Edge YoungBloodz

Youngbloodz by 10

BloodLetters vs. Purple Pistols

QB – Freeman got demoted from Captain and his days may be numbered as the Buc’s QB but the Jets D will offer a big delay in that. Wilson will show his arm off this weekend and could top 250 yards along with another 100 yards on the ground. Edge Purple Pistols

RB – McCoy is set to have a monster year in Kelly’s new O and will start this Monday night. Martin will top 100 yards and two scores against the Jets. MJD will find room against the Chef’s in the first half but once the Chef’s pull away he won’t touch the ball again. Foster will be limited in action but those carries will still get him 120 yards. Edge Bloodletters

WR – D. Thomas had a monster second half after being shut down early in the game and put up 29.35 points. Smith chipped in another 10.20 points too. Nicks should be able to add another 10 points. Fitzgerald is very happy to see Palmer at QB and his numbers will reflect that. Vincent Jackson will top 100 yards but Williams will get the TD. Givens and Bradford are on the same page and will do very well this week. Edge Bloodletters

K – Seabass will struggle to get shots as the Oakland O isn’t that great. Prater put up 7 points which is okay. Edge Purple Pistols
