What did Leonard Fournette have to do with all of this? He is the running back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs tried to fight off a big rally from the panel's triple-checker-on-a-checker Panthers and the Panthers were well within 9 points inside the 2 minute mark. Fournette had an open seam in the slot and took it to the house - the *problem* for our panel was that the touchdown covered the spread for the Bucs. The game appeared to be in hand, so a first down was sufficient. Had Fournette stopped after fifteen yards, the Bucs could kneel on the ball and end the game. This kind of luck finds would-be prognosticators all the time; chalk it up to a bad break.
With all that in the books, here are the standings after two weeks.
Ron: 12 pts. (6-0)
John: 6 pts. (3-3)
Dave: 6 pts. (3-3)
Andy: 4 pts. (2-4)
Guest Picks are 3-3 this season for 6 pts.
