    $5 bucks to enter. I would like a Mod to hold the money. We can pm guess's to someone. I will keep track of it all if they like.

    You guess the following:

    1. Total turnovers

    2. Total points scored

    3. Total Yards passing

    4. Total yards rushing

    5. Total amount of Punts

    you go by how much you miss each one by and then add them up. lowest score wins.

    This will not be the official thread if it goes down.

    I like your idea, but you need to weight the catagories.

    For example, say I guess 1 turnover and there are actually 2. That's 1 point.
    Say I guess 300 yards rushing and there is actually 200. That's 100 points.

    That's a really silly way of scoring. The turnover and punt guesses essentially don't even matter.

    Ya...maybe on answers that involve yardage, every 10 yards is 1 point. If we can get this sorted out, Im def. in.

    Brian is dead on here.

    My guess at a decent way to weight this might just be to rank everyone by their guesses. So, if I'm dead on the number, I finish 1st in that category, and get one point, next gets 2 points, etc.

    This also puts emphasis on getting everything close.

    Not that I'm going to be in this, just trying to help out.

    I totally agree with Brian and Lord.... I actually thought about that before i posted but thought people would either flame it or give good opinions.

    Thanks for being non douchey about it as there will need to be some tweeking.
