So, Week One, and can anyone tell me they didn't see some of this coming???

• As of before the two Monday Night Football games, scoring is up, even from last year's Week 1.  In fact, the 14 games having taken place averaged almost a field goal a game higher than last year's 16:  49.857 a game vs. last year's 47-even and even 2002's record of 49.5!
•  The two Monday Night games have to total 96 for that to match 2002's record.  Last year's doubleheader totalled 105!
• Sunday Night ESPN headline:  "Back In Style".  I figured one of two things was going to happen to Peyton Manning on Sunday:  His neck would be broken by a dirty hit, or he'd win.  He did the latter and threw his 400th touchdown, just as the doctor, the league, and NBC would want it!
• Over-under:  New England game was close (most books had it 48, it totalled 47).  Total was 8-6 (far more even than I thought it would be, especially after checking the average this week!), the Wednesday nighter being the only national game to go under.  Green Bay-San Francisco and Denver-Pittsburgh both went over.
• New Orleans goes down hard.  
• RG3 gets the obligatory big first game that QB's of his stature seem to get.
• New England takes step one to 19-0.
• The replacement refs can't count to three time outs and give Seattle an extra one.
• The Sea-Hags still lose to Arizona.
• Green Bay loses to the new front-runners in the NFC, San Francisco.
• But David Akers, AT 581 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL, boinks through a 63-yard field goal at Lambeau Field??????
• St. Louis and Indianapolis both lose.
