The Battle of the Sexes

This is the place to see Nutshell take on Nutshell Girl. I've been doing ratings since the 1970's. Nutshell Girl has been watching me do them since the 1980's and she thinks she has a better idea. My ratings beat hers last season against the line while hers beat mine straight up. This season I will keep you up to date on whether hers or mine or a combination of the two rules. The combination is called ... are you ready for this ... Nutshell Combo. It combines my MOV ratings with her win-loss ratings to hopefully create even a better rating systems than either of ours alone. The records are kept by Todd Beck so neither of us can cheat. Even though both of our ratings do better in the second half than in the first, we will compete through the whole season.

That was an incredibly bad week. I thought the NCAA games were flukes but then I got slapped with the NFl. That's okay, though. I think it's the signal for my NFL to take off. Of course, I could be wrong. At least the NBA has been good to us.

Update: Okay, so the NCAA and NFL were both horrible last week. And guess what? the NFL does seem to have taken off. 14-2 against the line. Amazingly that makes the last two weeks 17-15. Not bad, considering that last week was 3-13. Incredibly, that makes the second half of the season better than 55%. I don't know how the bowls will go but the NFL has fully recovered.

NCAA

The numbers in parentheses () indicate rise or fall in rank comparing second half to season.

I didn't go to the trouble of updating the NCAA since there was only one misplaced game.
