49ers, even though their good players are gone (by which I mean, players whose names I know).

The 49ers have Brandon Doman, who was BYU's QB (13-2 as starter.)  He's something like 3rd or 4th string now, but he got a lot of play in the pre-season.

I don't see how it could. It means that you got 3 picks right, and i got 4. I am joint second best at predicting wins for a game that i have never seen played. Nifty.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Kind of sad really.  You would think that, if you chose totally randomly, you would get 50%, right?  Instead, Entropy and Fell managed a big 36%.  I got 54%.  Gemm got 27%.  We all suck.
