Fantasy Football Tuesday: Week 3

We just finished Week 3 of the NFL season & of the JustUs Geeks Fantasy League and needless to say it is crazy.  I was interviewed by Josh, one of the hosts of the podcast and in predicting the season I mentioned I don't know who to pick to win it all because it can be so crazy and it's proven to be the case.  With the smoke clearing after 3 weeks, I'm still the only undefeated team at 3-0.  Here's some crazy statistics:  there are 3 teams that are 2-1 and 2 of those teams have been outscored by their opponents after 3 weeks; there is a team that's 1-2 that has outscored his opponents by over 70+ points after 3 weeks.  Needless to say, I stand behind my statement in that I have no idea who will win this league.

This past week I matched up against another of the hosts of the podcast, Josh.  And it turned out to be the blowout of the week though I was shocked at the result.  After having such a close matchup last week and sweating through the Monday night game, this week I could breathe easy after Sunday.  I know to enjoy those when they come because that could all change next week.  Next week I'll be squaring off against my friend from college and the #2 team in the league in what will be the game of the week.  Before that happens, here's the recap from Week 3:
