Running Totals

Bitch said something that got me thinking the other day. "Next year, we use running totals!". Now, I know that I have (more than) held my own on the weekly picks from week 3 on, but I haven't kept track of the overall season. I don't think it's quite as good as Bitch, but it's interesting to see:

Liam (without weeks 1-2): 110-81, for a winning percentage of .576
Ling (without weeks 1-2): 111-81, for a winning percentage of .578
(Yes, I missed/forgot a game - but correctly picked it in my other league, so I should be 111-81)

Now, since Bitch DID play the first two weeks, I decided to go back and see who I might have picked for those weeks. I didn't do as well as Bitch, but I feel confident saying I would have been 21-11. So, with those stats thrown in, here's how the season's running totals look:

Ling: 134-90, winning percentage of .598
Liam: 131-93, winning percentage of .585

DAMN! That's a pretty good race to the finish. AND....we still have two weeks to go.

I'm coming for you Bitch!!!

I'm glad you feel confident saying you'd be 21-11 in the first two weeks... especially given that Week 1 is the toughest week of the season to pick... but if you think you're that good... go on.
