The Weekly League: Notes and Ideas for Week Six

This week's edition of The Weekly League features:

1. Some notes on the peculiar joy derived from the current iteration of the San Diego Chargers, a team whose generic win probability (GWP) surpasses considerably its actual win-loss record.
2. An examination -- via some white-hot tables -- of the NFL's luckiest and unluckiest teams (as measured by GWP versus current, actualy win-loss records) through Week Five.

and

3. A table that proposes to offer something called "EPA Standings" -- itself an idea of minimal importance -- followed by even less important comments.

Let The Weekly League into your life, America!

As usual, a glossary of all unfamiliar terms can be found here.

Idle Thoughts on the Chargers
As our fearless leader Brian Burke noted recently in these electonic pages -- and as reader James noted even more enthusiastically in the comment section -- the San Diego Chargers are frigging awesome right now. The team currently sports a GWP of 0.81 -- this, despite an underwhelming strength of schedule (as suggested by the team's 0.42 opponent GWP). They feature one of the league's better defenses and the best offense.
