I spent most of today with spreadsheets, one of which you can read about in the previous post. Around 2 or something, I finally turned on the games to see an extreme amount of disappointment in Houston fans as they trailed KC by... lots of points. From the Talking Heads, a KC interception early in the game was a major blow to the Texans, proving how important a good, or even mediocre QB is for a team. KC showed why it deserved to go up 5 places, while Houston demonstrated why it fell 3 places in my new calculation. Not to mention that all love was being poured on my old Boyfriend, one Alex Smith.
The Rams, who went up 4 places, managed to defeat the Seahawks, which was also surprising, but also not surprising. The Rams, in my life, have never been great, but they make an impact as spoilers, creating the 1 for the 15&1 2011 Packers and contributing a third to the 1996 13&3 Packers, if I recall correctly. Then there was Indianapolis and Buffalo, where I predicted Colts, but the Bills win instead. I don't know how that one happened, but it means that I am 5 for 8 for the first half of Week One.
Right now, at 5pm Central, I'm watching Denver and Baltimore. I really can't describe my observations of Manning - I can't put words to the general concepts there - but they're not good. He has managed to lead his team into field goal range three times, but they're trailing by one point after the Vashda Nerada intercepted a pass and ran it in for an easy touchdown. It will mean being wrong, but I won't mind a Baltimore win here.
