What's Your Edge

How hard is it to tell the difference between a hawk and a flying monkey?
So Beanie and I decided to draft a team for the week. 100 dollars on the match, winner is guy whose team scores the most... standard scoring system, except receptions are 1pt each which makes WR just a bit more valuable in this league.
Anyway, I'm smoking the bean man after the first round of games. He says he likes his chances, even though I still have the LT, Gates, Ravens D, and TO left, when he has Brady, T. Henry, R. Moss, Elam, and Bears D left.
I tell him he is crazy, he is down 77-38 and the rest of my guys are probably scoring more than his guys, even though he has 1 more player left than me. He says my matchups suck (lol LT doesnt care about matchups) and if I give him 2-1 he will bet me $500 on the outcome. I took the bet, what do you guys think?
Oh, it's now 81-38 because chad johnson caught a 40 yard pass right after I accepted the bet. Here are the lineups:
GreenPlastic's Roster
POS PLAYER STATS POINTS
QB Peyton Manning 1 INT, 1 Pass TD, 289 Pass Yard, -1 Rush Yard 17.35
RB LaDainian Tomlinson 0.00
RB Steven Jackson 3 REC, 55 Rush Yard, 38 Rec Yard 12.30
WR Chad Johnson 2 Rec TD, 9 REC, 165 Rec Yard 37.50
WR Terrell Owens 0.00
TE Antonio Gates 0.00
K Adam Vinatieri 81 FG, 1 PAT 13.90
DEF Baltimore Ravens 0.00
Total Score: 81.05
Beanie's Roster
POS PLAYER STATS POINTS
QB Tom Brady 0.00
RB Maurice Jones-Drew 30 Rush Yard, 10 Rec Yard, 1 REC 5.00
RB Travis Henry 0.00
WR Randy Moss 0.00
WR Plaxico Burress 2 REC, 32 Rec Yard, 1 Rec TD 11.20
TE Kellen Winslow 6 REC, 101 Rec Yard, 1 Rec TD 22.10
K Jason Elam 0.00
DEF Chicago Bears 0.00
Total Score: 38.30
Who has the edge here? Obviously I have a huge edge in the $100 bet but was I right to take 2-1?
I think so - even if Brady scores 25 points (a great game with 4 pts for TD's against a great D) he still has to have his other guys outscore me by 15 points and I think I have a clear edge there with the best RB and Best TE in the game, as well as TO vs Moss and a slight disadvantage with my DEF.
