Thanks, but I'm jut trying to keep pace with Ron. And although SB is a legitimate threat, I think Manbird and Miami are plotting a late season rally, so I want to put as much room between them and me as possible (this is also my plan for Christmas dinner - Manbird is crazy with the dressing and Miami spits cranberry sauce when he chortles).
Well talk about coming down to the wire. TB12 has another comeback.
So Islander wins again
And we fall another game behind him

I thought about changing to New Orleans (assuming everyone would pick Tampa), but it would
A) break my "never change" rule,
B) it would require me to support New Orleans, whose first-round pick in next year's draft is owned by Philly (so I hope they lose out the season), and
C) would likely surrender a game in the full-year standings.
Having said all of that pretty much guarantees a Saints victory.
And looking at overall stats, I have questions. Ron and I have the same # of wins. He has one more loss... and his percentage is higher than mine.... how can either of those be?
You have one more incorrect prediction than Ron.
See the discussion on this subject from last years final results in this thread.
Pro may have hit on the reason but I'm too lazy this morning to verify...I'll delve deeper later...I'm still upset losing 3 or 5 late game after doing so well in the early games...There just seem to be a few teams that either way I pick they do the opposite...Don't the bastids know I don't need that kind of negativity this close to 70?

Thanks Ron for delving.
Not really delving...more of a copy/paste. I've seen the "different" numbers before and just assume those are ESPN totals vs. group totals.
I'm pretty sure nobody trusts the Falcons, Raiders, Chargers, or a few others. The Jets keep teasing me... I really thought they would reward my support yesterday. NOPE.

It's hard to tell what that percentage is based on; it's obviously not based on a W-L ratio alone. I guess it takes the mulligan week into account as well?
That's correct.
The % number is based on the overall game run by ESPN...not the RP group. I'm guessing if you look at your totals for the game (adding back in the low week), your numbers are a bit lower than these...
126-66W-L (I have 119 wins in the RP game because my 7-9 week was thrown out) 1,405RANK 99.9%PCT 1260PTS
My guess...you had a 6-10 week that was removed. You have 1 more win than me in all of the other weeks...and I have one more loss. Overall...I'm pretty sure you have 125 wins...pretty good...but not quite the 126 wins needed to turn that 99.8 into a 99.9!
CLICK HERE and scroll down to the Pick-em game...your 125 wins should be there.

I just saw that and that must be some kind of new math I've never learned.
Well done, P! 
Excellent picking.
