I just bet a colleague of mine that Gore will have a better year than LT for 2009.
What are my chances of winning the bet?

Depends on what means " better". If its yards, I say Gore. If its TDs, then its probably gonna be LT.

Agreed Gore has more left in the tank than LT.

no one has mentioned the x factors yet
and that depends 100% on how many carries Sproles gets vs. Coffee
I don't see Coffee getting the amount of reps Sproles will - now that the Chargers have franchised him, so Gore it is if money is involved.

If you look at average yards per carry in the past 4 years, Gore is one of the best.

I would of bet Gore on total yards but LT on touchdowns.

16 games starting, both players.
Gore wins, I think Gore is going to have his best season yet.

i think gore will have a better season. he's healthy, and it will all revolve around him. LT is old and the chargers will use their backup rb a bit more.
