You should have paid attention in math class.

Last week I incorporated math into the Start/Bench picks and rebounded from a string of bad weeks to a resounding 118-64 win for All-Start, giving them some breathing room and making my degree in economics worthwhile.  All-Start especially was dead on with the average difference between the prediction and reality less than a point.

So what do the numbers say for this week?  First the scoreboard, then the picks.

Team: Game (Season)
All-Start: 118 (539)
All-Bench: 64 (482)

And yes, Matt Schaub is the All-Start QB.
