Let's start a new game in Sports Talk.
1 point for predicting the right winner 3 points for predicting the exact spread 3 points for predicting the exact NCSU score 3 points for predicting the exact opponent's score =10 points total for getting the game exactly right.
You can join in at any point in the season. Predictions must be posted at least one hour prior to kickoff. Spreads will be an absolute value, so even if you picked the wrong team to win but still got the right number of points separating the two, you get credit.
Carried over from the NCSU vs VT thread: http://www.point-spreads.com: VT 30, NCSU 26 (rounding up, VT at -4 o/u 55) jbtilley: VT 31, NCSU 17 pack_bryan: 24-20 (didn't pick a winner, just predicted the score) Wolfood98: NCSU 33, VT 23 kevmcd86: NCSU 34, VT 21 rflong: VT 24, NCSU 21 wdprice3: NCSU 42, VT 28 bdmazur: NCSU 31, VT 24 PACKhunt: NCSU 35, VT 17 Lokken: NCSU 40, VT 28 BeerzNBikes: VT 37, NCSU 34 (Overtime) DROD900: NCSU 34, VT 30 CEmann: NCSU 31, VT 17 mbrown3: NCSU 38, VT 28

^you're predicting us to win by 28 points? that is straight up delusional.
this is the exact opposite of

NCSU: 40 VT: 24
additional request: If you did something like if you get the score within 2 points +/- you'd get credit for that like:
if the actual score was 10-7 NCSU over some school and i predicted 11-5 then it'd be:
1pt for the correct winner 0 pts on the spread 3possible pts, but being 1 off subtract 1, and i'd get a 2 for NCSU pts. 3possible pts, but being 2 off subtract 2, and i'd get a 1 for the other school pts. total = 1 + 2 + 1 = 4.
Otherwise i see it being very difficult to get exact scores only. just a thought
^ i honestly picked us 45-14 over GT and i was damn close minus the pick 6

I'm ok with giving partial credit on scores, but spreads will stay as is.
New model: 1 point for winner 3 for exact spread 3 for exact score, 2 for being one point off, 1 for being two points off for each team
Still leaves max score at 10 each week.
Btw, 11-5 would be an awesme score to actually see happen 9/28/2010 12:32:09 AM |

'exact spread' meaning you beat the spread and the over-under? 9/28/2010 3:18:54 PM |

i like this. b/c over the season we can see who is better predictor of these games amongst us. not just random homer predictions like you see all the time.
also i don't want to forfeit a free point on the 10pt scheme you go there. so i'll pick ncsu as the winner.
i keep my score at 24-20

aph319 it looks like he's talking about the actual spread, so if ncsu wins by 10 and you pick a score like 30-20 (even if the numbers are totally wrong, the score was actually 10-0) then you get points for "the spread". 9/28/2010 3:31:32 PM |

NCSU 27 VT 24.
RW 333 Yds passing 21 rushing. 2 TD 1 INT
Chekowahsuaksi will hit 2 field goals one to break the tie and win the game.
And Mustafa green will fumble on the one recovered by Owens giving him his 2nd TD.
VT is going to have a defensive TD, a special teams TD and a rushing TD. An impressive 47 yard fg to tie. 9/28/2010 5:53:47 PM |

Anyone who picks State scoring exactly 40 or 30 points is nuts because there is no way in hell we can make 3 field goals (4 field goals for the cat saying 40)
