Oklahoma State 32

Although I hate betting on ku, laying 3 TD's with a team looking ahead to TCU who sleepwalks these types of games historically makes very little sense...

what did you make this on your TI calculator? :lol: 

Seriously tho, it would be nice if you would pretend to try to connect your numbers with something.  Like what does 0.546 mean for offense? How does it compare to 0.7442? etc.  How can you have 4 digits of precision when there are only 128 teams?

I think the most fair way to do it is simply as it relates to ATS results.

I think we can keep it simple, maybe about seven interesting games for the week.  KSU game + 2 Big 12 + 4 nat'l games of interest.  If KSU is on a bye week then add an additional Big 12 game.

predict scores

They have the spread included in their predictos. You need to weigh in ATS. gE needs a human component.

If Baylor beats TCU 31-28, who wins? One is correct on spread, the other is closer on points for each team.

Ok...  No scores, just ATS winner on these games:

TCU +8
OU -14
WVU -6.5

UCLA +2.5
UGA -3
'Cuse +24.5

Bonus game
ku +21

I would agree to a golf-like scoring system:

how far off the actual spread*(2 if winner is wrong) + (how far off of the total points scored)/2

For example if the real score for the TCU Baylor game is: TCU 28 Baylor 31 then

SNOWBRAG scores: 0 + 6/2 = 3
ChiMERA scores: 2 + 2/1 = 3

This would be a tie. And I am OK with ties happening for games.
 

add this up for each game and the lowest score wins.

the only thing i would add to that:

all snowbrag picks are tighter games than all of chimera'a games. if 1 favorite blows out an underdog, there is no way i can win. if 1 underdog blows out a favorite, there is no way chimera can win.

since we are doing an odd number of games, can we just consider each game a "win" or "loss", instead of adding up the points for the whole week together? whoever takes more games wins the week.  :th_twocents:

how far off the actual spread*(2 if winner is wrong) + (how far off of the total points scored)/2

1.
TCU 58
Baylor 61

snowbrag = 0 + 66/2 = 33
chimera = 2 + 62/2 = 33

2.
Texas 26
Oklahoma 31

snowbrag = 6 + 12/2 = 12
chimera = 18 + 10/2 = 23

3.
West Virginia 37
Texas Tech 34

snowbrag = 8 + 2/2 = 9
chimera = 20 + 2/2 = 21

4.
Auburn 23
Mississippi State 38

snowbrag = 18*2 + 4/2 = 38
chimera = 26*2 + 12/2 = 58

5.
Oregon 42
UCLA 30

snowbrag = 13*2 + 5/2 = 28.5
chimera = 17*2 + 1/2 = 34.5

6.
Georgia 34
Missouri 0

snowbrag = 29 + 29/2 = 43.5
chimera = 22 + 18/2 = 31

7.
Florida State 38
Syracuse 20

snowbrag = 9 + 5/2 = 11.5
chimera = 0 + 0/2 = 0

-------------------
somebody check these numbers (my TI is on the fritz), but it looks like snowbrag takes Week 7 with a record of 4-2-1 vs chimera. that is despite chimera hitting a hole in 1 in the carrier dome!

Baylor 61

snowbrag = 0 + 66/2 = 33
chimera = 2 + 62/2 = 33
millertime = 4*2 + 60/2 = 38

2.
Texas 26
Oklahoma 31

snowbrag = 6 + 12/2 = 12
chimera = 18 + 10/2 = 23
millertime = 15 + 13/2 = 21.5

3.
West Virginia 37
Texas Tech 34

snowbrag = 8 + 2/2 = 9
chimera = 20 + 2/2 = 21
millertime = 14 + 2/2 = 15

4.
Auburn 23
Mississippi State 38

snowbrag = 18*2 + 4/2 = 38
chimera = 26*2 + 12/2 = 58
millertime = 22*2 + 0/2 = 44

5.

chimera = 22 + 18/2 = 31
millertime = 26 + 28/2 = 40

7.
Florida State 38
Syracuse 20

snowbrag = 9 + 5/2 = 11.5
chimera = 0 + 0/2 = 0
millertime = 1 + 3/2 = 2.5
-----------------------------------

Not really part of the game, but if you give 1 point to the best score in each game, 2 for next best, and 3 for third best you come out with
1. snowbrag - 12
2. millertime - 14
3. chimera - 15

I gave you each 1 point for the TCU-Baylor game and myself 3
