Fantasy Trophies

Game of the Week

Week 2:
Vankirk's Bronson (1-0) vs. Irish Bulldawgs (1-0)

TV: Tape Delayed on BravoTV. Tues, Sept. 22 at 2:30am et.
Location: Auburn, AL
Line:

The Gurus couldn't ask for a better opening week game between the league's last two champions. Coach Hegarty had to hand over the trophy in July to Coach Wilson and now will have to watch the banner be raised tonight in Greensboro, NC. ESPN has projected both teams to have the highest point total, but for the defending champs to start the year off right with a 117-114 victory.

QUARTERBACK:
Tony Romo vs. Tom Brady
Edge: Wolf Packers
We have a feeling that Tom Brady just might be a little pumped up to get back on the football field. Tony Romo is probably happy to not have #81 and Mrs. Colt Brennan to deal with this season. Brady will have a monster game on Monday Night Football, Arsenal just has to hope he is throwing it to his #81.

RUNNING BACKS:
Michael Turner and Mike Bell vs. DeAngelo Williams and Julius Jones
Edge: Push
The outcome of this match-up will probably be decided by who wins the running back battles. Interestingly, both coaches have benched big time studs in Chris Johnson (@Pit) and Ryan Grant (vs. CHI). Will Julius (vs. STL) or Bell (vs. DET) have the bigger game against the weaker opponent.

WIDE RECEIVERS:
Randy Moss, Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Johnson vs. T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Lance Moore and Eddie Royal
Edge: Aikman's Arsenal
The Arsenal's Big 3 is going to win them a lot of games. Coach Hegarty is hoping for at least 2 of the 3 to have big games each week. Wolf Packers WRs have solid match-ups this week and might play close to the Arsenal's trio.

TIGHT END:
Anthony Fasano vs. John Carlson
Edge: Wolf Packers
A slight edge goes to the Wolf Packers. If either TE can catch a ball in the endzone, it could shift the W/L column.

KICKER:
Mason Crosby vs. Rob Bironas
Edge: Push
Both kickers could have some opportunity with their respective teams playing stout defenses (Bears and Steelers).

DEFENSE:
Chargers vs. Giants
Edge: Aikman's Arsenal
Slight edge to the Arsenal's defense. Both team will be going up against average QBs in JaMarcus Russell and Jason Campbell. It's the Raiders though.

PREDICTION:
BravoTV has to pleased to televise this game and this match could reach up to 7 households this week. We expect both teams to reach triple digits in week 1, but we think the Wolf Packers have one too many Seahawks in their starting lineup.

ARSENAL 116, Wolf Packers 105

The Other Game
(Tape Delayed on BravoTV Wed nights at 5:00am et)

Prediction: Brigade 85, Pride 78
