Upcoming Schedule of Events:
The second season of Creative Misfortune kicks off in ernest on Labor Day when I preview the season two of "If Real Football Used Fantasy Scoring..." and pick the pre-season AFC and NFC Fantasy Bowl favorites.
Tuesday, September 6th - standings predictions for all NFL teams, broken down by conference and division.
Creative Misfortune Power Rankings for 2011 make their debut on Wednesday, September 7th, ranking all NFL teams into one of five power classes.

The Fortunate Seven ~ *The best of what’s left
Baltimore, Atlanta, Seattle, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Philadelphia and Kansas City

On Thursday, September 8th, the NFL's regular season officially starts and so does Creative Misfortune's suite of game predictions. Scottie V, Vegas Lines and the control system picks (Best Record and Home Team Wins) all make their triumphant return as the Saints and Packers kick off the 2011 season.
Once the Regular Season is under way, standard content will appear each week.
Mondays will feature predictions for the Monday Night Games.
Tuesdays will be a Creative Misfortune free for all with Curious Matters, Awards of Misfortune and other random blog content. It's best not to have any expectations.
Wednesdays will be dedicated to the "If Real Football Used Fantasy Scoring..." game results as teams fight their way through a statistical gauntlet en route to Fantasy Bowl II.
On Thursdays, Creative Misfortune Power Rankings! This season expect more movie quote themed rankings following the success of the Rocky rankings from last year. The Creative Misfortune Super Bowl favorite through the current week will also be announced. Note: Power Rankings are based on a complicated formula that takes into account, among other things, a team's projected ability to score an Offensive Fumble Recovery TD. All power rankings guaranteed to be less accurate than real NFL team abilities on any given Sunday and are subject to change on a weekly basis.
Thursdays will also have bonus predictions later in the day for any Thursday Night Games on the NFL schedule.
Fridays will round out the week, as they often do, with weekend game predictions detailing who Creative Misfortune thinks you should look for in the victory column come Sunday.
Enjoy your holiday weekend!
