I think I will still do the score predictions, but I might do tallies different from football. I haven't decided. Picking the winning team still would count for the record and correct prediction is the same, but I'm thinking about how I will do close predictions.
Here are different options I am thinking about doing.
1) Keep it the same - If you're not familiar with my football one, you need to be 8 points or closer to both teams' score. Instead of predicting how close the game is, you're predicting how close you are to each team's score. But what would be the margin for error for close prediction?
2) Going by the spread - Many have suggested I do this for football, but I like how I do the football. I think basketball might be harder to predict the scores but might be easier to predict the spread. Here you are predicting how close the game will be.
3) Overall points - Here, you are predicting if the game is high scoring or low scoring. You can predict a very close game, but it could be a blowout and still be a close prediction, You could say, however, that you saw it as a high scoring game or whatever.
I could do each one off of the scores you give the teams.
Thoughts?

) but I do like reading yours and others who post them. Whatever way you decide to do it would be cool. I think the score prediction one like you do for CFB would be interesting, although like you said it would be hard to do.
