Week 1 Prediction Game

by Fooch on Sep 6, 2008 5:08 PM PDT Comment 67 comments

EDITOR'S NOTE 9/6 5:05PM - If you haven't gotten your predictions in, make sure you do soon. If you miss out on the morning games, you can still get predictions in for the afternoon/evening games and even tomorrow's game. This is a season-long cumulative score contest, so every pick helps.

_______________________________

Since the end of last season we've gained a fair number of new regular readers. For the new folks (and for those who don't remember the specifics), I present the 2nd annual Niners Nation Prediction Game (quite the original name, I know).

Each week I will select six games for you guys to predict the winner and final score. The six games will always include the 49ers game, as well as the national Monday night and Sunday night games. Beyond that, I try and just make some random picks based on interesting matchups. Also, unless the 49ers are playing a Thursday game, I usually try and avoid those matchups (except maybe at Thanksgiving).

I'm going to have howtheyscored share the details (since he handles the scoring), but I'll lay out some basics. The scoring involves a combination of how close you were in the scoring differential, combined with how close you were to the to total points scored will give you a score. Ignore the info below. Howtheyscored has posted the rules in the comments.

I initially included some old rules, but they were dated, so howtheyscored has the rules posted at the top of the comments.

So, onto this week's matchups (and all times are Pacific):

Arizona @ 49ers - Sunday 9/7 1:15pm

Chicago @ Indianapolis - Sunday 9/7 NBC Game 5:15pm

Minnesota @ Green Bay - Monday 9/8 4:00pm

Denver @ Oakland - Monday 9/8 7:15pm

Seattle @ Buffalo - Sunday 9/7 10:00am

Tampa Bay @ New Orleans - Sunday 9/7 10:00am

We've got some realluy good matchups in Week 1. And if you don't get your picks in before the Sunday morning games, you can still get in any picks for later games. The points will accumulate over the course of the entire season. At the end of the season, we'll take the top people (it was 8 or 16 last season) and they will form a playoff bracket for the real postseason.

If you have any questions, post them in the comments and myself or howtheyscored will respond.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of Niners Nation's writers or editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of Niners Nation's writers or editors.

Whatever happened?

To the 3-2-1 point format and the 10 point perfects???

MURS for President!!!!!!!

I was just going to jump in and mention that. Fooch accidentally posted an outdated scoring system. We played around with the one above during the playoffs two years ago, but really nailed down a good system (the 3-2-1 with 10 for perfect) shortly before last season.

I go over the official rules here: http://www.ninersnation.com/2008/8/8/589856/niners-nation-2008-season

And the relevant portions from that post look like this:

Scoring is based on two metrics: point totals and point differentials. The idea is that you get one score for predicting the point totals and one score for predicting the point differentials, and the combination of those scores is your final mark. The closer to zero your final mark is, the better your prediction was.

So, if a game ends 14-13, and you predict the game 27-0, then you will score a zero in the point totals category (for being zero points off the total). However, the point differential in the actual score will be 1, and the point differential in your prediction is 27, so your score in the point differentials category will be 26 (since you were 26 points off). Your total mark for the game will be 26 (since 0 + 26 = 26)

Essentially, the closer you get to the actual score, the closer both your point totals and point differentials will be to the actual score.

Rankings for the week are based on these individual marks. The person who gets closest to zero in one game will be awarded 3 points. Next closest gets 2 points. Next closest gets 1 point. And everybody else gets zero. There will be ties. Everybody tied for first get 3 points. Everybody tied for second gets 2 points. And everybody tied for third gets 1 point.

In the rare event that somebody predicts a score exactly, perfectly on the nose (and we’ve seen in practice that it IS rare – less than 10 in over 1000 predictions last season), that person gets 10 points for the game.

Which is more long-winded than it needs to be, but that’s just how I roll. If ANYTHING doesn’t make sense in the above, I’m happy to explain.

And furthermore, contrary to what is blockquoted above, if NOBODY picks so much as the correct winner for a particular game, then NOBODY gets any points for that particular. There’s no reward here for being the best at being wrong.

That’s how my dad did it. That’s how America does it. And it’s worked out pretty well so far.

Also

Since this is the first week, I just wanted to ask that anybody making predictions posts their scores in away – home order, regardless of winner (for example, if you pick the 49ers win 0-100 this week, which is a good pick if you ask me, typing that as “100-0 49ers” would be the opposite of my request). The reason for this is that, as official scorekeeper, it makes it a lot easier for me when I’m inputting everything into my spreadsheet, which then also greatly reduces the risk of human error on my part.

Even if you don’t do this, I’m smart enough and careful enough to know which team you picked to win and to do the scoring the right way, but like I said: it just makes it easier.

I won’t hold it against you if you don’t, but I will hold it away from you if you do. Which… I mean… you should just assume that’s a good thing.

a journey of 1000 miles starts with one step

Arizona 20 @ 49ers 21- Niners 21-20 (I’ll pick them this one time. Once they lose it’s over)

Chicago 17 @ Indianapolis 27 – Colts 27-17. Peyton gets my fantasy team (not my NN team) off to a good start

Minnesota 21 @ Green Bay 17 – Vikes 21-17. The Pack’s favored but I think Rogers struggles in his first start.

Denver 21 @ Oakland 16 – Broncs 21-16. JaMarcus isn’t good, yet.

Seattle 17 @ Buffalo 20 – Bills 20-17. JP Losman?

Tampa Bay 20 @ New Orleans 23 – Saints 23-20. They come in amped up after the Hurricane.

Is Losman starting? I know Edwards has been a little hampered by a thigh bruise, but I would have thought he’d be over it by opening day.

27-6

23-2
21-4
20-2
13-1

The number on the left is the amount of points the niners are supposed to score according to us (the fans)

The number on the right is the number of us that picked that score.

The Niners offence averaged just under 14 points a game last year. 24 points was picked the most by us for the season opener ( and we all picked the niners to beat the cardinals). That is a 10 point a game gain.

If that were true we would have ended the season 8-8 and would have been second in our division.
Nolan wouldn’t be on the hot seat and Alex would be our starter and there would be no Martz.
I love the optimism
Go Niners

To be fair, we did average 29 PPG against the Cardinals last year (25.5 if you don’t want to count the overtime points). So 24’s not an upgrade over that.
