Week 12 Prediction Games: Who Da 31-21 Man?


The big news comes tomorrow. Jim Harbaugh is going to stand in front of the gallery and say heartfelt things like "will always be my starter ... are no longer a backup ... Captain or Kaeptain" than a big tear is going to welt up under his eye, the word "but" is going to hang in the air for 1.5 seconds. Finally Jim is going to hand a long stemmed rose to either Alex or Colin and ask him to be his quarterback.

Fooch has been dropping hints he is pro Kaepernick with this newly minted 7 game format. I'm sitting at 81 points and normally would be a lock for the playoffs at this stage but with this game inflation I'll have some more work to do. I'll start handicapping the playoff race next week. Maybe even touch upon the "Get Creamo'd for Geno" race to catch up with 49erLou.

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.
