The NFL also has changed the meaning of “questionable” and “doubtful”; previously, the “questionable” category reflected a 50-50 likelihood of playing, and “doubtful” meant a 75-percent chance the player wouldn’t play. Now, “questionable” simply means that “it is uncertain as to whether the player will play in the game,” and “doubtful” means that “it is unlikely the player will participate.”

Would you say this is better or worse for handicapping?

Probably worse... it's just one less shade on the color spectrum. Not good for fantasy football purposes either.

I'm really not sure what the difference is. The percentage seems to reflect 'the words' now being used.
