Congratulations to this week's winner...

MUTT!!!!!

Mutt all but nailed this one... his prediction of a 38-21 USF victory was a mere 2 points off the actual score of 37-20.

Bullumni, amie_abull, and VA_Bull were close (5 point difference) but Mutt knocked this one out of the park!  Congrats MUTT!

Chase for the Card - Week 7 Standings will be posted shortly...

Good job Mutt!

I sense a new (and different) Andre Hall card will be on its way to you...let me know.

Hey hey... I got the winner... was 9 yards off in total yards and 6 points off the actual score.

Not bad I guess...

Just FYI, the way the "points difference" total is calculated is different from "total points".

Basically we tally the difference between your prediction for the USF score and the actual USF score (say, 10 pts).  Then we tally the difference between the opponents prediction and the actual opponent score (say, 5 points).  Then we add them together.  Doing it this way gives us a better "closer to the actual score" figure (which is the criteria) than a "closer on total points" figure.

For example, I predict the USF-Cincy score to be USF 45-0 USF.  Mutt predicts it to be 23-22 USF.

If the final score is USF 32-13, I'm off by 26 (13 + 13) and Mutt is off by 18 (9 + 9).

Make sense?

Oh, I get it... I was just posting on how close I was.  I just wanted some credit... maybe some recognition
