NFL Divisional Round Prediction Games Results

The last of the 4 game weekends are over. Finality of the season is beginning to creep in. Only three games remain to crown a champion, NFCCG, AFCCG and of course the Super Bowl. I guess we could consider adding in the Pro Bowl and Senior Bowl. I have the tactical advantage in the Pro Bowl since I gamble heavily on it every year. Senior Bowl is interesting with how underwhelming the game always turns out, but Mayock spilling his mayo over the practices is always entertaining. Of course nothing gets manraj as excited as the NFL Combine, AKA "The Men in Tights Olympics".

Playoffs Results

Second round of eliminations this week with the Top 8 (actually 9 this time) moving onto the Conference Championship Playoff Round. Next week the Top 4 will move onto the Super Bowl to play for the NinerNation.com Prediction Trophy. I'm sure the pucker factor is starting to kick in.

Divisional Round Weekend Eliminations

  • wjackalope - Always an upset or two in the Divisional Round, you had the wrong the ones.
  • groug - howtheyscored gives you a shout out in the comment section and now you're eliminated.
  • leaping_larry - oh larry, felt like we were just getting to know you. Still would like to hear three words about yourself.

BIT Results

PHUT! with a strong playoff push so far has positioned himself in the lead. A few others are knocking at the door; SpurredOn, neder and jbrown63. The rest are going to have to grind to get back in this to win.

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.
