[stcjones]

Thanks very much Ian….this is a first for me…..just wish our guys had pulled this one out….on to Buffalo!!! Thanks for all that you do!

 

[captain stone]

Congratulations STC, and thanks again Ian!

And extra tip o’ the scally to our 2nd-place finisher Jah, who was off by only two points AND correctly predicted the winner of the actual game, better than the next NINE finishers did! Well done!

 

[venecol]

@Ian is there a link to the season standings for this?

 

[crawhammer]

Shouldn't the one participant in the top 10 who actually picked the correct winner of the game win the contest?

No, it's always been a "predict the score" not a "predict the outcome" contest, or at least that's always how @alamo has done it.

Isn't Vikings 24-23 closer to the score Vikings 33-26 than Patriots 27-24? The former has the Vikings winning by 1 point whereas the latter has the Patriots winning by 3 points. That's a 6-point differential (better) to a 10-point differential (worse) of the actual score.

Regarding score (combined points) and differential, Trunescribe and MrTibbs tied for 1st. Unofficially.

I get what you're saying, but that's not how it's been done:

"Game winner does not matter. Lowest score wins."

Also, the differential is tabulated off of each team point prediction, and then those two individual differentials are combined, not the total differential.

For example:

Vikings 24 (diff of 9)
Patriots 23 (diff of 3)
Total: 12

Patriots: 27 (diff of 1)
Vikings: 24 (diff of 9)
Total: 10

That's how it's tabulated.

Not yet. Although, I have been working on that.
