I guess atleast for a team called the Multiple Scoregasms getting 69 for my first total is fitting.

I'm pretty shocked my team scored so well for my first game of the season. The match-ups between the cows and scoregasms looked pretty close last week and a few of my players exceeded projections.

Next game is vs 1-0 Haya's team, so one of us will be 1-1 next Monday....

Yeah, my team really bombed this week, both leagues. I was scoring 111+ in my other, this week 78. Oh well there is always next week if the refs don't destroy the game.

Ha! :D

I never thought that a Defense could be the highest scoring player but the Cow Tippers changed my mind.

The projections say it's 120-120... But the projections for last week said that it's going to be a nail bitter between your team and V's so, meh.

Projections suck, they change during the game and are rarely right.

I think last week's projections had me at +1 over scoregasms. I tend to think the projections give some good advice and decent lines for making wagers, but there's so many variables (including unforeseen injuries) that it's difficult to predict outcomes.

Yeah, the Chi Bears did pretty well. I didn't think they'd score that much, nor be the high scorer for the team.

With a 6 team league, the scores and games should be pretty high right? Our six teams scored between 69 and 109 points. Averaging 82.5 PPG and 21 PT victories (although removing Cows vs Scorgasms 40pt win, the average goes down to 11.5 pt victories).

Looking forward to week 2 (4) match ups. There's one guaranteed 2-0 team that will come out in the lead for sure and a chance for a 2nd 2-0 team.

That is pretty avg. We should be higher with a 6 person league.

So you're saying the owners are sucking with their start/sit choices? :)
