Incorporating math into my Start/Bench predictions was apparently just the shot in the arm the All-Start Team needed.  After a two-week slump All-Start surged to a 118-64 win over All-Bench.  Not only that but the predictions were surprisingly accurate, with the All-Start predictions averaging 0.89 points above projections and All-Bench averaging just 1.67 over projections.

That was the good news.  The bad news is the one mailbag question this week.

LaDainian Tomlinson
Frank Gore
Brandon Jacobs
Reggie Bush
Jonathan Stewart

Two of this list:

Greg Jennings

Torry Holt
Eddie Royal

And one from either.

A: Suggestions in bold, best play in italics.

Brett Favre: 5

That was a long list of very bad calls…
