Who, I think the middle is good. Thank you so much for doing the game!! It makes Sundays alittle more interesting for a Football Junkie like me.

Who when do we get the next list for the week? Sorry if you already gave that answer, but I seem to have missed it. I need to do some serious reading up.

Did you know that the Bengals have not won a game against the Dolphins since 1977? Yay Bengals for overcoming that statistic!

I believe there are 4 people tied going into tonights game. Personally I think the bonus should only be used to break a tie. But barring that I like the purple format.

I'll hopefully post the list for next week's games tonight after the Monday Night Game. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to post everyone's points tonight. At the same time, I'll then post the picks for next week.

So we have one vote for purple and one vote for green. Anyone else want to input? FWIW, I kinda like the purple one too.

I also went to bed thinking (always a dangerous thing to do). My brain seems to like the "percentage" angle of things. I was wondering if anyone would object to a final score that would be a percentage of the total possible points for that week. For instance, I have 14 points accumulated for my guesses from yesterday's games. 15 games have been played, which means so far percentage wise, I'm sitting at 46.7%. Or, out of a possible score of 100 (percent), my score is 46.7.

Then, lets pretend I get a 51.5 next week, and a 78.6 (I'm dreaming) for the week after that. My cumulative average then would be 58.93. For me, that would be visually easier to see just how I'm doing, and compared to previous weeks.

What do ya think? Or should I just leave well enough alone? I promise I won't propose any more scoring changes after this week's total is posted.

Oh, I just saw the other posts done while I was playing around with my post. Looks like purple is starting to get the nod.

I understand the concept about using the bonus to break the tie. But since this game is based on each of us getting a total score, and there is no money involved to try and distribute to one winner. And I assume as the weeks progress, the ties will be broken up. Well, I just think everyone should get the opportunity to get the bonus points they earned.

But again, everyone's input is welcome.

Who, whatever you want to do is great with me, be it percentage or score or red white and blue lol. But you know I'm always partial to purple.

Whatever everyone else likes, Who. I haven't ever done one of these things so I'm not good at offering advice about it. Besides that, I am always so agreeable I have to dig deep inside myself to criticize anything!

Its obviously been too long since I've been in a math class. I goofed on the scores. Ranks are the same, but updated scores are posted in the Charts thread. Sorry!!

Oh, BTW. I had a suggestion that I post the team standings. Good idea, but you know I can't make it that easy for you!

You can see the overall team standings HERE While there, you can click on each team and get current info like injury reports and such. Happy browsing!
