We all know that it is early in the Fantasy Season, but Week 3 has many interesting matchups. Lets take a closer look at the 3 most intriguing matchups of the week, and the current line presented by RRTCASINOS.

GAME 1: Banger9 vs. TurdFergusson

The Banger is coming off a tough loss to the Pigs, and would like nothing else than to knock off the surprising 2-0 Turds. At first glance in the standing this jumps out as a 2nd place vs. 3rd place matchup. But this matchup isn't shit, thanks to Paul Taglibue and the Bye Week. The Turd will be missing Wideouts Moss and Moulds, and Running Backs Henry, and the much more valuable Foster. Ol' Banger Boyd will be losing a starting QB and RB with the Brady/Dillon combo.

RRTCASINOS line:

Banger9 -12.5
Turd Fergusson

GAME 2: Robintucky Raiders vs. Barbie Boppers

Another interesting matchup will be between two teams with almost identical points scored, and with identical records. The Boppers vs. The Raiders. Neither team is losing much to the formentioned Bye Week. However, the loss of Patten at Wideout could hurt the Boppers. After losing Steve Smith to injury last week and Joey Galloway banged up in Tampa Bay; Boppers could have a hard time finding a 3rd wideout this week. The Raiders on the other hand will be avoiding the Bye Week dicking and will have a full squad for the week. The only questions concerning the Raiders is if Alexander is healthy? And is Faulk already tired? Also, the Chicago defense will get blown out this week at Min. and Robintucky has no current options.

RRTCASINOS line:

RobintuckyRaiders
BarbieBoppers -4

GAME 3: Mr. Natalie Portman vs. Defending Champs

As if things couldn't get worse for the DC, he faces the top ranked team and first place team. Portman has definitly looked good after the first 2 weeks, scoring the most points and off to a 2-0 record. The DC is not looking forward to going 0-3 on the young season, but its going to happen. Don't step on the tracks when the Portman train is coming through town. (OHHHHH, I just thought about running a train through Natalie, OOOO YEAH) Portman does have a full roster to throw at the Champs which doesn't help. With a QB like Culpepper and wideouts Holt, Ward, and FuckStick you have to wonder how he will be beaten. But, just wait he has a Bears running back as his current #1. The Champs does lose a solid wideout McCareins to a Bye Week and will be thin in the position this week. However, with his QB (McNabb) and running backs (J. Lewis and O. Smith) the champs could surprise 12 people.

RRT CASINOS line:

Portman -19.9
Defending Champs

You've Been Great!
Long Live Kilborn!
