Start or Sit Success Rate
Every Friday morning we hold a live chat on
USAToday.com at 11AM to offer start or sit advice. Some of these
decisions are often very difficult and the NFL is unpredictable but
we decided to create this page so that you can track our success
rate throughout the season. We measured our success based on
standard WCOFF scoring (unless specified otherwise in the question).
We
get 1 point for a correct pick and 0 points for an incorrect pick.
If we had to pick between three players and our pick finished second
then we get 0.5 points (we get 0.33 points if he finished third out
of four).

picks we made, you can download it by

Based on our scoring system, if you were picking names from a hat
you would have a score of 0.500 but since some questions are a
little easier we would say that a score of 0.550 is average. We want
to do better than that so our goal is to have a score of 0.600 at
the end of the season. |
