Week 3 Picks
My guess is that there won't be enough participation every week to justify a prize, but here are my predictions anyway.
SteamRollers vs Blackouts
BayCity's been a dreary place so far this year, w/Priest Holmes being the only bright spot. And he's questionable for this week! Although the Blackouts have one of the best RB duos in Alexander and DDavis, Trent Green has been atrocious. As much as it pains me to say it,
Pick: Blackouts by 10 if Priest plays, 30 if Priest doesn't
Chimps vs 33's
The 0-2 Chimps vs the 2-0 Rocks, sounds like a gimme. But not so fast. The Eagle heavy Rocks will only go so far as the men in green and the Chimps have been plenty of talent, just look at that bench scoring! Read, chimpy has made some bad decisions. Even though I think Reche Caldwell will not pan out, I believe in the Lions D even less,
Pick: 33's by 10
Savages vs Specialists
Even without the 10 pt deduction, the Specialists are lookin' weak, but if they've (plural on purpose) made some savvy moves recently. If they get their house in order and decide to play Corey Dillon and get their entry fee in, they'd be close. But I'm not holding my breath.
Pick: Savages by 20
Surfers vs Sluts
Congratulations to the Sluts on winning the Stecker Sweepstakes. But when your starting RB's are Dominic Rhodes and Aaron Stecker, you need to get your pacifier ready because you're gonna get a spanking. Even w/Curtis on the bench, it's hard to imagine how the Sluts can cobble the points to steal this one.
Pick: Surfers by 25
Beetles vs Tuckers
Once again, the Tuckers come out of the blocks fast at 2-0. The Beetles are definitely doing better now that they've joined forces w/the Julias. Unfortunately, by the looks of it, they're still asleep at the wheel, starting Todd Heap while he's injured. Just for that the Gods of Fantasy Football will strike them down and award this game to
Pick: Tuckers by 20
Nee Schmoos, Nee Mission vs Bobkittens
The battle of the former roommates is looking more like the Toilet Bowl than the Super Bowl. Bunch of has-beens and yet-to-be-seens. Emmitt Smith vs Dwayne Carswell. The only way the Bobs pull this out is if Jamal Lewis outscores Moss by a lot. Not likely.
Pick: VisValley by 20

My apologies to the Specialists, Corey Dillon is on a bye, so he is appropriately on the bench.
I'm waiting for my apology, too (for scooping up Jason Witten after I somewhat unwisely dropped him, and missed the waiver deadline, and -- okay, maybe you don't owe me an apology).
My only disagreement with your picks is the Chimps. The Chimps will find a way to win. They have to!
