Not only that, in head2head you keep facing teams that are raking. Injuries, bad timing etc.
Head to head is the way to go. The game is supposed to replicate actual things that happen in the NFL. We all know that it takes a really good and focused team to even approach 16-0. Upsets happen in the real NFL and unless you have a truly dominant team, upsets will, and should, happen in FF.
Total points means nothing in the NFL. It shouldn't.
