Week 11 Prediction Games: big Timing

This feels great, I just dump trucked on urnext! I recall finishing 2nd and 3rd less than a handful of times but nothing feels better than a victory. I guess I should thank the 7-Game format ... where did that come from?

Really, movie quotes in the subject line? Just hand the predictions off in the comment area like you've been there before.

I wanted to post this tomorrow but thought I would hold up the Week 12 thread. Remember to get your picks in, although no Thursday games. Sit back and enjoy the Lions, Cowboys and Jets or in other words Gobble, Gobble, Gobble Happy Jivegivings!

Rank Screen Name Points Comments
bignerd 1st bignerd 18 News flash, I have the hot hand.
Rossalex 2nd Rossalex 15 Plenty of discussion on Alex in other threads.
SpurredOn 3rd SpurredOn 13 Ok, maybe he has the hot hand.
Aaron Emerson 4th Aaron Emerson 12 Interesting lead actor, has good performances despite never touching A-List status. Although Martin Sheen did steal the show in Love Happens.
Fred.P.Soft 5th Fred.P.Soft 11 Still [site decorum]ing about the scoring system? Also, kinda has a hot hand.
liberty_JAC 5th liberty_JAC 11 I'm waiting for that 5000 word over optimistic fan post on Kaepernick, plus a Facebook status update.
bradyk2 5th bradyk2 11 Still creeping.
bayboy 5th bayboy 11 Holy copy overload Batman! It's a Top 5 list, not entire roster breakdown.
Edggy 5th Edggy 11 Oh Edgward Exclamation point hands..!! For you kids, thats a reference to a teeny Twilight like love saga of the early 90's, except it had the decency to end after one movie ... and avoid stupid vampires.
mikeinsp 5th mikeinsp 11 Did I tell you about the time I posted an image and mikeinsp [site decorum]ed me out for not using the subject line? True story, that's how the rule started around here.

Scoring Explained

Prediction Contest Rules and Guidelines

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.
