4th Quarter Update (Week 1)

With the Cowboys hanging on to defeat the Giants after New York couldn't overcome a bevy of injuries, most of Week 1 is in the books for the NFFL. Here's a look at what to watch for in the final games Monday night:

- Chicago holds a 23-point lead over Glasgow, but the Warriors still get points from TE Vernon Davis, LB Jarrett Johnson, DB Dawan Landry and DL Darnell Dockett. The Goodfellas only have K Shayne Graham left as a scoring possibility. The Warriors are down, but they're still in excellent position to come away with a win.

- The Devils are sitting on a 16-point lead over last year's NFC Champs, despite a 30-point game from Lower Saxony's QB Ben Roethlisberger. But Utica is all out of players, while the Patriots are starting RB Rudi Johnson, WR Anquan Boldin and DB Adrian Wilson. Not only is this one not over, but Lower Saxony seems like a good bet to earn the victory.

- The Predators have jumped out to a 27-point lead over the Raiders of England. Both have one defensive player left (Austin's LB Patrick Willis and New Mexico's DL Terrell Suggs) but the Raiders also have their QB Alex Smith waiting in the wings. Against the Arizona secondary, Smith could potentially make up a lot of ground and pull off the comeback.

- Anglia has a 13-point lead over Bertrand with five players still left to play, the most prominent of which being RB Frank Gore. Bertrand has three more players to go, including QB Carson Palmer and WR Darrell Jackson. Anglia should put the game out of reach with good production from Gore, but there's still a lot of game left to play at this point.

Games that look out of reach:

- Halifax 161 (and WR Fitzgerald), Boston 119 (and RB McGahee, K Stover).

- Washington 102 (and WR C.Johnson, LB Dansby, DB Reed), Fairfax 85 (and LBs Brooks and Scott).

- Greenville 105 (and WR Clayton, TE Heap, LBs Hayes and R.Lewis), Cincinnati 92 (and WR Housh, DL Berry).

- Carson City 91 (and QB Leinart, DL Pryce, DB Harris), California 74 (and LB Banta-Cain).
