I have a fun and I think different idea

[YankeeRebel]

Post the final score of every regular season game and the person with the lowest point differential for the off-season wears the fictitious crown " Champion Of All Things Patriots ". Anyone interested?

I'm in.......I think. If I can find the calculator in my desk and remember how to use it. I think it's solar. Calculators didn't use batteries after 1985 right??

So as an EXAMPLE for all Game one

Pats: 28
Bats: 14

Game ends up being

Pats 35
Bats 10

Thats a total difference of 11 is that the way to go?

 

[BigKen]

Pats are +7
Bats are -4

11 Points total difference. I like it.

Sorry, I don't get it. If I make a perfect prediction I get 0 points, but a lousy one can get me a high score? Is the objective to get as close as possible to 0? or is it just to have your team blow out your spread?

If I predict 2 to 0 and the score is 35 to 14, isn't my total 33,14 for a 19 total? Would that be good or bad?

Bad. And it would be a total of 47(33+14). You want the lowest score possible.

Lowest point differential is the approach I was considering. It accounts for the contributions from the offense and the defense
