Week 9 Prediction Games: Well, isn't that special?

I can't believe I have to write this, just want to puke.  I got a perfect score, I got perfect score, I got a perfect score ... bluck.  So you know, everyone got a perfect score. If you didn't you are a big freakin loser, that's the report.  The Bengals venturing into Tennessee to take on the mighty Titans was so thrilling everyone penciled in the same blank stare 24-17 score and it hit.

Thursday Night games start this week.  So you are aware we don't score Thursday Night games unless the 49ers are playing.  No need to rush and get your scores in this week.  You can still wait til 9:59AM PST Sunday to submit scores. Or maybe just your morning game scores and submit the rest before the afternoon games.

Week 9 Leader Board

Week 9 Big Board Predictions (check your scores)

Scoring Explained

Your prediction has these same three components as the actual game score.

1) If you predict the correct winner for an individual game, we will score your prediction against the actual game. If you predict the incorrect winner for an individual game, your prediction will not be scored.

2) Ideally, you will predict the exact point differential of the actual game. Say, for example, this is 45. If you predict a score with a PD of 45, the difference between your predicted PD and the actual PD is 0 (45 - 45 = 0). The worse your prediction, the greater that difference becomes. Therefore, the closer the difference is to zero, the better.

3) Ideally, you will predict the exact point total of the actual game. Say, for example, this is 65. If you predict a score with a PT of 65, the difference between your predicted PT and the actual PT is 0 (65 - 65 = 0). The worse your prediction, the greater that difference becomes. Therefore, the closer the difference is to zero, the better.

So, assuming that you predict the correct winner of the individual game, we simply add the difference between your predicted and the actual PD to the difference between your predicted and the actual PT. The closer this total is to zero, the better your prediction is. A zero exactly will always be a perfect prediction.

pPD = Predicted Point Differential
aPD = Actual Point Differential
pPT = Predicted Point Total
aPT = Actual Point Total
x = Subscore

|pPD - aPD| + |pPT - aPT| = x

That total becomes your subscore for each individual game. These subscores are then ranked, and the five best (including ALL ties) are awarded points. Perfect predictions are awarded 10 points. If the highest subscore for a particular game is not a perfect prediction, it is awarded 5 points. Points then follow in descending order, so that all of the second best predictions get 4 points, the third best all get 3 points, and so on.
