We almost had a 3 way tie for first place, but Keyser_Soze just edges out the competition by just $100!  Despite losing a conservative bet on the Feature Game, he was the only player to call all of Question 5 correctly to earn the bonus and put him over the top!

 

########## WEEK 2 RESULTS ##########

 

Week 2 Feature Game - Philadelphia Eagles (-1.5) at Atlanta Falcons

In an entertaining, hard hitting football game, the Falcons knock off the favored Eagles by a score of 24-20(-1.5).  Bets on Atlanta win.

 

1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Eagles TD, Eagles FG, Eagles safety, Falcons TD, Falcons FG, Falcons safety, or other? ($400 for the correct call)

Matt Bryant was good on a 43 yard field goal for the first points of the game.  Atlanta FG is the call.

 

2) How many turnovers (combined) will occur in the Feature Game? 0-1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, or 8+ ($400 for the correct call)

These teams just couldn't help throwing the ball to guys in the wrong jersey.  Add a fumble to the 5 picks and there were 6 turnovers in this contest.  Nobody called this one.

 

3) Name the player that will score first in the Browns @ Jets game on Monday Night ($400 for the correct call; as always "score" means "the person holding the ball in the endzone")

Nick Chubb took the ball off the left tackle for a 19 yard score for the first TD of the game. No player guessed Chubb.

 

4) Name the QB that will have the highest number of pass attempts in Week 2?  ($600 for the correct call)

Cam Newton hucked the ball 51 times in a losing effort against Tampa.  Too bad none of those 51 passes were for touchdowns...

 

5) Call the winners:
Minnestoa at Green Bay
Buffalo at NY Giants
Indianapolis at Tennessee
($300 for EACH correct named game winner, $800 bonus if you call all 3 correctly)

Several people got 2/3 but only Keyser_Soze got 'em all right to earn the bonus.

 

6) Name both the highest and lowest scoring teams of Week 2 ($500 for each correct guess)

Patriots vs. Dolphins simultaneously lived up and down to everyone's expectations!  This was basically a free $1,000 for half the players in the MGT. :lol:

 

7) How many total Field Goals (not PATs) will be converted during the Bears @ Broncos game? ($500 for the correct answer)

5 field goals were hit in this game, including a 30 yarder to win with 00:31 on the clock.

 

8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in week two. ($1,500 for each player named correctly, $3,000 bonus if both names are called)

Dalvin Cook ground out 154 yards rushing and Demarcus Robinson got his hands on 172 yards worth of passes to be your Week 2 offensive leaders.  Nobody called either player.
