Everyone is going to pound on this in previews this week, but if there is a weaker schedule for competitive games than this weekend, I don't remember it. At least a half dozen of these games should finish well over a double-digit final, and if you are still alive in an elimination pool, be prepared to be doing this well into January. Assuming your pool is big enough, I wouldn't count on a full pot, either.The magic of the NFL's ascension, and the helpful remorra that is fantasy football, is that no one outside of people who write previews much cares about this. Squash games are frequently fantasy gold and make for fat happy covers, so the gambling public is well-fed. As an Eagles fan with the terrible Bucs coming to town this weekend, drama is the very last thing in the world that I want. (But for, say, Oakland at the Giants? Come on, Big Drama.)At some point, this kind of thing has to make a negative impact on the league, maybe in the ratings of uncompetitive night game...
