If they lose 100 to 101, they will lose more percentage than the 80-81 scenario (or a 101-100 win).
The percentage is their total scores from all games, divided by their total scores against. So if they have to keep scoring 131.6 points to every 100 points the opponents score to maintain their 131.6 percentage.
So narrow wins or losses will still hurt them a lot percentage wise, and more so if it is larger scores by each team (as then the ratio of scores against scores against narrows by more).
