It goes by win percentage fucker!
i think he means the saints should score a lot of points against atlanta so atlanta will need to do the same to stand a chance of winning that game.

Hey, I know its too late to change rules, but why exactly is it tallied based on win percentage and not total wins?
for the regular players, who play every week, it's a wash anyway but it levels the playing field if you miss a week. that's how it's always been...

don't you suppose it would be bad if a player who abstained for a week or two won over a player who wagered those two weeks, and scored poorly, thereby dragging down his average?
This is just a hypothetical, GM hasn't tactically missed weeks, but its obvious by looking at matchups or oddsmakers predictions that there are difficult weeks and there are easy weeks. Missing difficult weeks could give a player a competitive advantage.

maybe. but i think, given the nature of the forum and the audience, win percentage is a perfectly fair way to measure this. if the person who 'wins' with the best percentage doesn't have the most wins, then we'll recognise them too...

We'v always had a rule that you had to pick a majority of the weeks to count. I think it'd be silly to exclude people if they miss a couple weeks. I can't think of a fairer way to do it than win percentage.

Should school assignments that a kid doesn't do count as zeros, or nothing at all?

A druggy message board isn't school.

Im not sure if the Saints can contain Ryan, Jones and White. Especially at the Dome and with Tracy Porter missing aswell. Brees will score a couple and Sproules will probably run for another. Im putting money on Julio Jones to score anytime @2.63. I picked the Falcons on this thing aswell.

Interception Bowl should be interesting tonight. Vincent Jackson to score first TD and Chargers to win by 7-12 points @ 30/1 is worth 5 yoyo's for me
