NFL Competition - Week 8

1) Each week you will be asked to predict the scores from that weekend's games. Predictions must be made before the start of games. You can just put Thursday night's predictions down and make the rest later but please add all addition predictions in a new post. If posts are updated after the games predictions won't be counted.

2) You will be get points depending on how close you are to the actual score. Points will be awarded in the following way:-

- You will get 10 points for getting the correct match outcome.
- You will get 10 points for getting a teams score correct.
- You will lose one of those 10 points for every point you are away from a teams score. Therefore you must be within 10 points of a teams score to gain points.
- If you get a match score spot on you will be awarded double points. So if the correctly predict a matches score you will receive a maximum 60 points.

Example:-

Your prediction - Steelers 17-31 Packers
Actual result - Steelers 25-31 Packers
Your score 22 points

You would receive 10 points for correctly predicting a Packers win. As you were 8 points off the Steelers score you get 2 points for that and another 10 points for getting the Packers score spot on.

Scores are taken from final scores so after OT if OT is included. Therefore be aware if you predict a tie it will have to be a tie after OT.

Despite there only being 13 games, week 7 turned out to be a high scoring week. Both Olly and MockingJay33 called all the games the right way (I think the first time that has happened/ Derbyblue also had his games called the right way but only had 5 games). Five others had 12 results the right way.

Both tigerrobins (Bengals 17-24 Steelers) and Sodhat (Buccaneers 28-35 Saints) had correct scores and that helped them come first and second respectively this week. tigerrobins taking a second weekly win in three weeks.

wadey101 remains top of the overall leaderboard and extend the lead to 39 points. tigerrobins moved up four places to second.
