2 former champs were the top scorers of the week as @Bradyisgod22 and @johnnyboy top scored with 11 as the latter especially gets their challenge well and truly up and running after a sluggish start in the opening weeks Myself, @seph, reigning champion @SpykeDudlei1 and current leader @hbk4life also made it into double figures scoring 10 as the leader extends the lead to 2 as the 2 newest challengers @Tim Healys Chutney Spoon and @Vegeta were the joint lowest scorers with 8 points though the former was the only one to correctly predict the Patriots handing the Bills there 1st loss in the new stadium They remain in 2nd but the gap to the field has shrunk with just 3 points separating 2nd and 8th now @Dead Mike scored 9 but remains slightly adrift at the bottom of the Standings Standings After Week 4 (Week 4 score)[Weeks Won] Hbk4life 41 (10) [2] Tim Healys Chutney Spoon 39 (8) [2] Vegeta 39 (8) [2] Bradyisgod22 38 (11) [2] Spykedudlei1 38 (10) [1] MVP RULZ 37 (10) [1] johnnyboy 36 (11) [1] Seph 36 (10) Dead Mike 32 (9) Week 5 Fixtures Thursday October 8th Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Dallas Cowboys Sunday October 11th Philadelphia Eagles @ JacksonvilleJaguars (@Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, England) Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers Cincinnati Bengals @ Miami Dolphins Las Vegas Raiders @ New England Patriots Minnesota Vikings @ New Orleans Saints Cleveland Browns @ New York Jets Indianapolis Colts @ Pittsburgh Steelers Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans New York Giants @ Washington Commanders Denver Broncos @ Los Angeles Chargers Detroit Lions @ Arizona Cardinals San Francisco 49ers @ Seattle Seahawks Baltimore Ravens @ Atlanta Falcons Monday October 12th Buffalo Bills @ Los Angeles Rams

Apologies for the lateness of this write up so I'll keep it short and sweet This was the 1st Week of the season where we had a real mixed bag of results with a few upsets catching some of us out but not @Tim Healys Chutney Spoon who was the sole player to reach double figures scoring 11 and when the next closest challengers were @seph, @hbk4life and @Vegeta on 8 that shows how good of a score that was All that has meant that the latter 2 mentioned above are joined by the aforementioned Tim Healy atop the Standings as they've opened a 3 point gap over the rest of the field With the charge being lead by @SpykeDudlei1who along with @Dead Mike and @Bradyisgod22 scored 7 whilst myself and @johnnyboy were the lowest scorers of the week scoring just the 6 points Standings After Week 3 (Week 3 score)[Weeks Won] Hbk4life 31 (8) [2] Tim Healys Chutney Spoon 31 (11) [2] Vegeta 31 (8) [2] Spykedudlei1 28 (7) [1] Bradyisgod22 27 (7) [1] MVP RULZ 27 (6) [1] Seph 26 (8) johnnyboy 25 (6) Dead Mike 23 (7) Week 4 Fixtures Thursday October 1st Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns Sunday October 4th Indianapolis Colts @ Washington Commanders (@Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, England) Tennessee Titans @ Baltimore Ravens New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills New York Jets @ Chicago Bears Jacksonville Jaguars @ Cincinnati Bengals Dallas Cowboys @ Houston Texans Arizona Cardinals @ New York Giants Los Angeles Rams @ Philadelphia Eagles Green Bay Packers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers Miami Dolphins @ Minnesota Vikings Kansas City Chiefs @ Las Vegas Raiders Los Angeles Chargers @ Seattle Seahawks Denver Broncos @ San Francisco 49ers Detroit Lions @ Carolina Panthers Monday October 5th Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints

Well don't think we've ever had a 6 way tie for the weekly win but here we are myself, @hbk4life, @SpykeDudlei1, @Bradyisgod22 @Vegeta and @Tim Healys Chutney Spoon all scored 10 The latter 2 can get a special mention with Vegeta being the only one to correctly predict the Bengals going into Houston and winning whilst THCS was the lone person to predict the Saints upsetting the Ravens in Baltomore and the Vikings winning the FG battle in the rain In Chicago @johnnyboy scored 9 whilst @seph and @Dead Mike both scored 8 All thar means not much change this week other than Tim Healy moving up a couple of spots though they were really only behind the 2 they've leapfrogged on Alphabetical order after the 1st week anyway.

So Week 1 is in the books and it was a relatively high scoring round considering the opening weekend can sometimes throw up a few surprises, the Cardinals beating the Chargers was probably the biggest upset as we all got that wrong @hbk4life and @Vegeta are the very early pace setters scoring 13 out the possible 16 myself and reigning champ @SpykeDudlei1open with a haul of 11 points as the top 4 that finished last season open the year as the top 4 after the 1st week but not in the same order as we finished last season Just a point behind are @Bradyisgod22 (who did miss the 1st 2 games so maybe could have scored higher) @johnnyboy, @seph, @Tim Healys Chutney Spoon In last place and the sole player failing to hit double figures for the week was @Dead Mikebut we still have a very long way to go yet so plenty of time to rebound.

Ive been to all the London games since they started in 2007 so I did look at going but the pricing just put me off The 1st of the 3 London games is only 2 weeks after this with the other 2 the following weekends so placing this game so close to the London games also probably negatively impacted the sales with the majority who maybe would have taken a punt (pun intended) on going not willing to add an extra London trip so close to the games. College football is still very much a niche variety of a sport where the main version is still fairly niche in the eyes of the wider sports public of this country. Even the NFL tickets have been slower selling with the prices now just too high for people to justify so this had no chance at similar range pricing If priced right and played at least a couple weeks earlier this could have been a bit of a success but sadly it's probably going to be labeled a bit of a failure At least moving the fans down should make it look better if the lower bowl is at least filled and those fans who purchased the cheap tickets get a nice upgrade (unless as mentioned already your 50 yard tickets are now lower end zone tickets)
