Are you ready for some football?

One freakin day until the start of the FAA season.  I have been all year for this thing to kick off.  Not only do I get the benefit of watching my hometown Steelers tee it up under the lights against the hated "towel stomping" Titans, but FAA players will be well represented.  I expect that Big Ben, Willie P, Hines and the Steelers DEF will be in starting line-ups.  In addition Chris Johnson, Titans DEF (maybe), Rob Bironas (maybe) could be on the field as well.  The primetime FAA matchup is between NYC RB Willie "Big Pimp" Parker and Aliquippa RB Chris Johnson.  The winner of this battle on Thursday night will give the leg up to their team's chances of locking up a week 1 victory.  Interesting note: Since the NFL has started the format of the Super Bowl Champ opening at home on Thursday, no visiting team has ever won the game.  That doesn't bode well for Johnson.  

Stupid fanball doesn't appear to detail the matchups on the Pick em site this year, so it will be even harder to pull together the lines and predictions (ugh!).  In any event we are going to go with the early line of the Rabid Ghosts being a 13.5pt favorite for this game.  Everyone has 10,000 Reese Bucks to wager (AKA: Fazoools).  I may just double up my Fazoool count by betting all 10,000 on NYC.  Would be great to get Zuc to wager all of his and be out of the money after 1 week.
