I think team 1 may be better, but because of the matchups, I like team 2 this week. Both RBs will have a very tough go of it for 1. Favre struggles vs Detroit. Harrison vs Balt's secondary is no cakewalk. DJax vs Jax is okay.

The only real advantage I see for Team 1 is Defenses. Some leagues, Defenses score a ridiculous amount of points. IF that's the case here, team 1 may then have the edge, but only then.

Qbs- Team 1 has the edge. The Detroit/Green Bay game will be one of the biggest shootouts on the year. Both teams have NO defense and great offenses. Trent Green is facing a tough Jets defense.

RBs- Team 1 has the edge. Team 2's starters has 1 starter that isn't even 1st string. Larry Johnson may get some touches, but there's no reason why he will be a good fantasy back unless Priest gets hurt.

WRs and TEs- I'd give Team 2 the edge only because of matchups. Over the long run, those 3 players on each team will be pretty equal.

Ks and Ds- About even. Can't count on Baltiwhore D against Indy's offense while Washington is facing the Bears attrocious offense. It's very close Team 1 probably has the edge.

Overall, Team 1 will win. Book it.

Absolutely false.

....You may be right, I was just going on the "Favre struggles in domes" stereotype.

As I typed my previous post, I though "I should check his stats", but was overcome by an overwhelming wave of laziness.

The "Favre stuggles in domes" is weird, because the only dome Favre struggles in is the Metrodome (he's awful vs MIN).

[Josh W]

yeah, i had heard he did okay in the superdome, in part because he was often in front of friends/family.

i'm still too lazy to look up actual stats.
