NFL Wk 9 Update: ESPN vs. ABC's

Well well well, It looks like the experts might actually start to know what they are talking about. growing their lead by a couple games this round.

If you missed the Premise, it can be viewed here.

Experts are at 68-49, ABC's are 63-54

57.6% to 53.4%, or a 5 game lead for the experts. this means that the experts have correctly predicted a winner more times then the Chicago Cubs won a game this past season, but in fairness, so have the ABC's. The only thing we can determine from this statistic is that the Cubs didn't win very many games.... I just made myself sad.

Here are the current weekly results

Week	Expert W	Expert L	% Correct	Random W	Random L	% Correct
1	8	8	50.0%	10	6	62.5%
2	8	8	50.0%	10	6	62.5%
3	8	8	50.0%	7	9	43.8%
4	10	4	71.4%	10	4	71.4%
5	9	5	64.3%	4	10	28.6%
6	3	11	21.4%	7	7	50.0%
7	11	2	84.6%	6	7	46.2%
8	11	3	78.6%	9	5	64.3%

As you can see though, one outlying week and this lead could all be undone.
