Pauly's Pub Fantasy Pools Update

For complete updates and standings, visit: Pauly's Pub. Thanks to everyone who signed up. Austin Drunks tops the College Pool, Bad Blood and Jerry are tied for the lead in the pro football pool, and BG and his Trained Professionals are winning the Grid Iron pool. How are my teams doing? Not so good. Last year's co-champ in the pro football pool, Shakedown Street, got off to a slow start and my second sheet Punch You in the Eye is barely in the top 10. I thought my team for Grid Iron was going to be the best on the league. Alas, Mary-Kate's Nosebleed sputtered to the middle of the pack and my college picks haven't been panning out.

The Skinny: The heavily favored Rams failed to cover and the Browns upended teh Ravens for another wild start to the season. There were a handful of games that were decided by a point or less... those can make or break your season. Week 2's games look tougher than week 1. Best of luck and congrats to Jerry and Bad Blood... who got off to a nice start.
