    I wonder if his win % would go up if he left out the meaningless last week of preseason?

    Last week of preseason, total < 37, since 2008 is 28-19.

    Thanks for the stats-- wrong thought on my part. How does it change handicapping pre-season with only 3 weeks instead of 4?

    I would think if they did go to a 3 week preseason, week 1 would be a mixture of the current week1/week2, week 2 would be the dress rehearsal and week 3 would be like week 4 now or for any cleanup needed. I would think teams would be more serious when they do their scrimmages with other teams during the week, almost make that like a week 1/2 game.
