It was definitely a trying week to be the Guru. Stupid Georgia gets beaten by a hook, Jacksonville can t figure out how to stop a two point conversion play to stick inside of the number, and god knows what the hell Coach Ho was doing at the end of that game against Pittsburgh. In total, it was a 2-5 ATS week for me in Week 1, but there will be bigger and better on the horizon.
On a more serious note, there s some health issues floating around in my family that might have me out of commission for some time this season. I ll be doing my best to keep up with the weekly columns, but let me send out the casting call for some help. I could really use a hand with the grading of these plays for Beat the Guru and the handling of the message boards. If you could lend me some help, please contact me at adam.markowitz@arenafan.com. Thanks in advance.

· Chicago is the last team without a loss (4-0).
· Orlando is the last team without a win (0-3).
· The league still hasn’t published a record book.
· The stats program still stinks and stats are still wrong.

The AFL posted the stats from Friday night’s game between Bossier-Shreveport and Utah at about 1:00 PM Eastern on Monday. This is the third time in five weeks that the AFL has not published a boxscore or report for a game within 48 hours of the end of the game. Sure most of the boxscores are still wrong, but not having something up is unacceptable,
