Ok, so this didn't work too well last week with the disaster in San Francisco, but we'll do it again and hope for better results this week.

For those who aren't aware, here's how it works: You make a prediction (guess) as to how many total passing yards Kurt Warner will have against the Lions on Sunday. If you are exactly right (unlikely, but possible), you will win two billion A$FN for every passing yard Kurt has at the end of the game. If more than one person is exactly right, the first person who posted their prediction will receive the grand prize, however all other posters who are exactly right will receive one billion A$FN for every passing yard Warner has at the end of the game.

In addition to any poster who guesses exactly right, the top five posters whose predictions are closest to the actual total (higher or lower) will receive pro-rated payouts based on the following formula:

- One hundred million A$FN for every yard minus one percent for every yard your guess is away from the actual total. For example, if you guess 300 yards, and Warner throws for 310, you get $31B minus 10%, or $27.9B. If you guess 220 and he throws for 310, you get $31B minus 90%, or $3.1B.

If Kurt has another wacky game and nobody's guess is within 100 yards of his total, then nobody wins.

This challenge is open until game time (11:00 MST) on Sunday.

Like last week (when I placed fourth), I play and guess first. If I win, it takes away a winning spot from somebody else. My prediction this week is 322 yards.

Good luck!

Amazing that the Cards have passed for 300+ yards in a game only once this season compared to 8 times last year.

Kurt passed for over 300 in weeks 3, 4 and 9 Duck.

Right. When I went back and checked I saw that the site I was looking at deducted yards lost to sacks from the passing totals which brought the first two back under 300.

Thats sounds like a pretty stupid stat? Why take them away from the team stats but not the individual QB's passing yards then?

Who knows? So many of these websites have different or incorrect stats.

I'm still wondering why drafthistory.com has Atlanta listed ahead of Arizona in their alphabetical listing.
