DFC IX Week Three

So... its on for Monday night's NFL game... someone will win the week at 8-0. If Minnesota beats Green Bay, Lori "Sunshine" Beirne goes undefeated and will win her 4th weekly win of her career, but it would be the first win since Week 8 of DFC V (2004).

If Green Bay beats Minnesota, The Big Wasyluka takes the week, for only the 2nd of his career, and his first undefeated week. Check out The DFC Blogspot for updated results Monday night!

13 Kansas Jayhawks (2-0) at 19 South Florida Bulls (2-0), FRIDAY NIGHT, 7p, ESPN2
I love South Florida, what can I say... when I made the leap from full-on Auburn fan to parttime Auburn fan and full-on Florida fan, I considered jumping to South Florida instead... especially since the bandwagon is just beginning to sell some tickets. And Kansas? Really? This should be, really, a pretty good ballgame.

UCLA Bruins (1-0) at 18. Brigham Young Fightin' Mormons (1-0), 230p, regional
Let's be honest, whether they would have won in overtime, ridiculous penalty or not, BYU should have never been in a position to lose the game to Washington. Plain and simple. So, after UCLA beat up on Tennessee, I'm intrigued by this game. Is Tennessee good enough to say UCLA had a "good" win? Or did UCLA beat up on a overrated Vols team? And is BYU not as good, or is Washington better? Can I keep my hot streak going, beating both Halpert and Gainey? These things must be sorted out.

5 Ohio State Buckeyes (2-0) at 1 USC Trojans (1-0), 7p, ABC
Trap game! Trap game! By all accounts, USC should blow out the Buckeyes by at least 30 points... but its interesting to see, first, who will chance it with Ohio State, and secondly, who will actually pay enough attention to college football to know who they should pick in this game

10 Wisconsin Badgers (2-0) at 21 Fresno State Bulldogs (1-0), 930p, ESPN2
It was between this and Auburn/Mississippi State, because with both games, we're likely to get a rush of everyone picking the same team... except for a few people who, if they are right, are likely to gain a game over everyone. Anytime, anyplace, anywhere. And Fres is at home.

NFL GAMES
Chicago Bears (1-0) at Carolina Panthers (1-0), 12pm, Fox
So, the Bears beat Indy, when they weren't supposed to. Then the Panthers beat the Chargers on a last second play, when they weren't supposed to. One of these teams, expected to not contend, will be 2-0

Buffalo Bills (1-0) at Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1), 12p, CBS
Did you see the Bills this weekend? They actually looked really, really good. And the Jaguars looked decent, though Tennessee edged 'em out.

New England Patriots (1-0) at NY J-E-T-S Jetsjetsjets (1-0), 315p, CBS
Tom Brady. That's all you need to know. If you don't know what I mean, then this will be a long DFC season for you. FYI, depending on what happens with Tom, you can change your NFL picks during the week... but only Saturday's first college game kicks off... yes, I know Friday night is the first game, but I give you the Saturday deadline.

Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) at Dallas Cowboys (1-0), MONDAY NIGHT, ESPN
Always exciting when these two tie up, especially since it seems that McNabb is "back", whatever that means.

TIEBREAK GAME
New England vs NY Jets. Total points scored in this game.
