Whelp, I guess its time for The Hammers to add skill points and put on equipment.

Ok, ready to stick my neck out in public for real now. Here's the lines for opening games with a little commentary. Feel free to LOL or give your own insights on the favorites or point spreads. Check out the Betting Parlor thread to join in on some wagering.
Week 1
RL1
WAR HAMMER vs. NO Kangaroos (-6.5) lots of long term impact from this one
LA Express vs. Lost Quarters (-6.5) who really cares?
Cheeseheads vs. Hurricanes (-21.5) the Hurricanes roll out of the preseason
Palookas (-59.5) vs. 4th Street Game put the AI on autopilot
Brew Crew vs. Chaos (-2.5) are the Brew Crew ready to turn things on?
PVAC Gofers (-6.5) vs The Punishers one of these is probably a playoff team
RL3
STALINGRAD (-63.5) vs. Stargate this one is over, already
Skinwalker vs Bayside (-2.5) Can a CPU battle be the game of the week?
Los Cabos Sharks vs. DC Freedom (-21.5) how much will DC show early?
Gridiron Grit vs. KC Comets (-13.5) I think KC will show up for this one
Criminoles vs. Insanity (-6.5) Criminoles get first shot at preseason #1
Ho Chi Mean vs. Blue Lagoon (-35.5) this could get very ugly

NO Golden Kangaroos are garbage IMO

Nothing to see here, all CPU stuff
Btw we have 5 human owned team in there atm with few human players each but after my recruiting spree the last two days I have 20 players in the team. Not bad for a dead FA market!
EDIT: Someone with money to spend bought a team and started building/boosting D1 players!

I haven't peeked in there lately. If I get a chance I will and see if we can add them to the fray.

Not much to see really. Lot's of CPU teams and except my team (with 20 human players) and the new big spender, the others are mediocre at best. 2.5 teams from entire league, but will be funny this semi-CPU battle (for us at least).
EDIT: Today must be a joke day or something! Another one bought a team building/boosting D1 players!!! Why don't buy a CPU team in #3 and come to a dead league like #2?

Got a little bit of real data.
Power rankings headed to Game 2:
RL1
#1 (previously #1) NO Golden Kangaroos 1-0, W 28-10 (WAR HAMMER) impressive start
#2 (#2) Houston Hurricanes 1-0, W 77-14 (Cheeseheads) - ditto
#3 (#3) Palm Bay Palookas 1-0, W 98-7 (The 4th Street) ditto, ditto
#4 (#6) Brew Crew 1-0, W 35-21 (Chaos), I guess we have to boost them a bit
#5 (#8) PVAC Gofers 1-0, W 61-7 (The Punishers), highest rated CPU beater upper
#6 (#4) Phnom Penh Chaos 0-1, a dose of welcome to my world
#7 (#5) WAR HAMMER 0-1, probably deserve higher, but a loss is a loss
#8 (#7) Dairy State Cheeseheads 0-1, Hurricanes left their mark
#9 (#9) The Punishers 0-1, just your average bunch of CPUs
#10 (#12) LA Express 1-0, W 14-12 (Lost Quarters), better than another group of CPUs
#11 (#10) Lost Quarters 0-1, a kicker short of #10
#12 (#11) 4th Street Gang 0-1, get their run at last again
RL 3
#1 (previous #1) Phnom Penh Insanity 1-0, W 42-7 (Criminoles) look like they belong here
#2 (#2) KC Comets 1-0, W 21-3 (Gridiron), solid start
#3 (#3) Stalingrad 1-0, W 101-19 (Stargate), need some non-CPU data
#4 (#6) Blue Lagoon 1-0, W 109-0 (Ho Chi Mean), see Stalingrad
#5 (#4) Gridiron Grit 0-1, Zeta division looking loaded
#6 (#5) Florida State Criminoles 0-1, gotta think they will be there in the end
#7 (#7) DC Freedom 1-0, W 34-21 (Sharks), cant say that was impressive
#8 (#11) Skinwalker 1-0, W 20-14 (Bayside), only CPU with a win
#9 (#8) Los Cabos Sharks 0-1, showed some fight
#10 (#12) Bayside 0-1, losing to a CPU, not good even if you are a CPU
# 11 (#10) Stargate 0-1, that one is going to leave a mark
#12 (#9) Ho Chi Mean 0-1, an even bigger mark

Good game, 4th Street Gang! We gotta enjoy these wins over you now, because by the time we get up to Natty Pro you'll probably be spanking us regularly again!
