Of course then, like 71, I'm totally lost on these things.

Hall is mediocre but we run the ball better and get more turnovers. Or something like that.

I would also like to add that even making PED weighted 50%, it is still too large a factor, if you really only want to use it as a tie breaker.

What if one QB has a huge game and the other has a lousy game? PED may factor in to our contest more than actual points. IMO PED weight factor should be .05 or something--it would still act as a tie breaker, but would provide that points are the main component.

Also, could you include a factor for correctly predicting the winning team?

Lostie, you get to choose the forumla for the next pick. But please make it creative and fun, which I'm sure you can do.

We'll stick to this one for this week.

I can't take credit fo that. It was already used by Clark Addison. Must give credit where credit is due.
