Through the miracle of poor reading comprehension, it appears that I missed a disagreement on one of the games on Sunday. For the Kansas City at Washington matchup, I picked Kansas City and Mardi picked Washington, which results in a loss for her. The score ending for Sunday night comes out to be 9-4 (me) and 8-5 (Mardi), which gives me the win this week. This discovery came about during a discussion on how to handle the Monday tiebreaker.
Speaking of the tiebreaker, we decided to go with a system I found on a sports book site. At the end of the Monday game we will add up, seperately, the total of the actual score along with the total of the predicted final score. Whichever total predicted is closest to total actual will be the winner.
Example: For the 19 Oct game I predicted the final score to be 28-21, Mardi predicted the score to be 21-14. The game is played and the final score comes to 30-10. Adding these up, we get 40 (actual score), 49 (my prediction), and 35 (Mardi's prediction). In this example Mardi is the winner as she was closer to the actual total score of the game.
This method will be used when there is a tie at the end of the Sunday night and we are both in agreement as to the predicted winner of the Monday game. If there is a disagreement on who will win Monday, then the predicted winner will be used. If the predicted winner is agreed, then that prediction will be disregarded and the only criteria used will be the score.
At any rate, her and I are glad we got this out of the way since neither of us has ever had to deal with it before. Now, let's get some popcorn ready for Monday Night Football!
