yeah, considering Khali is going to take a very weak 23 for a full week including a PPV.
For anyone who cares, here's the top 4's current week:
Species 353 Farn 348 Wiggs 300 GO 254
(this obviously is preSmackdown, where Species should finish about 30 points ahead of me)

Thanks Farn for the continuous updates.
****SPOILER ALERT******
****Smackdown spoilers below******
Re: Smackdown
A lot of help Batista was though in getting me more points on Smackdown. It still sucks that a midget is getting Farn as many points as Finlay. I do like CM Punk on 2 shows though :)
So for No Way Out so far, we have the following:
Farn: HHH, HBK and JBL in the RAW Chamber match. You have to like those odds! Edge with another title defense vs. Rey, which you can't see him losing. Beth might get a title defense in on this one, but you have to assume Horny is out. A Big Show return would be huge, or else Farn has the possibility of only having 4 in the PPV.
Species: Like Farn, I have 3 Chamber participants: Batista, Umanga and Finlay. Like Farn, I have a Champion with a title defense....but one has to figure Cena wins, so that blows chunks and will hurt. It does, however, seem very likely that CM Punk and Chavo will have a rematch at NWO for the ECW strap, and there is a modest possibility he regains the belt....but more likely is a screwjob finish and a buildup to Mania. They are starting a Shelton/Kane angle, and with so many top stars in the Chamber matches, maybe they throw that on the card as filler. But it is nice that I have 5 in and at most 1 out.
wiggs: Has Y2J and Khali in Chamber matches and Rey in a title match. Kane could get in, but if he does it would be with Shelton. Kennedy vs. Flair is on but it's unlikely Kofi gets a match. So he has 4 in, 1 maybe and 1 out.
GO: Taker is in and probably an easy favorite in the SD Chamber match. Hardy and MVP in Chamber matches. Chavo likely to defend vs. Punk. That leaves him praying Miz and Morrison get some Tag Title match or he only has 4 in the PPV.
I have good odds of having the most in the PPV, but I like the odds of Farn to win the RAW Chamber match, combined with a likely successful title defense.
I really have to pray that the RAW Chamber match is NOT the main event!!!!!!

Here's the thing with the Chamber matches. If its the Raw Chamber that's the main event I get a huuuuuge advantage.
But also, with 2 chamber matches that will eat up a ton of the show. I'd guess 40 mins each for them. So that's 80 mins. That leaves 90 mins. Toss in 10 mins of video highlights. That leaves 80. Add in prematch entrances, struts, announcer speak, backstage promos. That's 10 more mins.
So that leaves 70 mins. You will have Cena vs. Orton and and Edge vs. Rey. That really doesn't leave that much. They are gonna have trouble squeezing in other matches.

And I think we still have something with Flair here... Flair vs. Kennedy as the third non-chamber match? Although it looks like MVP "hurt him" pretty bad so maybe they go with the angle of him being out til Wrestlemania until an MVP vs. Flair vs. Kennedy match for the US Title.
From a non-fantasy standpoint -- God... why don't they mix it up and get Fat Daddy and Khali out of the damn chamber and put Kennedy and/or Big Show in there. Or even mix up the two chambers!
RAW constantly steals all the talent over from Smackdown leaving it depleted. i.e. last year RAW gets Kennedy, Lashley, Booker etc in the draft and they send back - Flair! who wrestles on RAW half the time anyway lol...
2007 Draft Lottery
Smackdown loses King Booker Wolverine/Canadian Crippler (he who shall not be named) Mr. Kennedy Lashley (via a stop in ECW first) London/Kendrick The Miz Regal
RAW loses - Torrie Wilson Masters Flair Khali Kenny Eugene Nitro (who was buried at the time)

I thought Kennedy V Flair was already announced.

it was. Thats why based on my calculations the card is about full. 2 title matches, Flair/Kennedy, and 2 Chamber matches.
That really doesn't leave time for anything else unless its a super fast squash.

after checking wikipedia for prior Chamber matches my estimate is off. We can expect them to go somewhere between 25-30 minutes.
This leaves approximately 25 minutes. I think we can assume a women's match since they got shut out at the last PPV. If so we can assume Beth. If not then it would be the ECW ladies mugging somebody.
That would still leave 15 or so minutes for one more guy's match. More than likely that's Miz and Morrison.

I would predict Chavo/Punk on there. Also, Phoenix vs. Mickie based on current storylines.
