If I'm understanding the scoring, if you pick the winner and don't pick an exact score of either team, it comes down to coming closest to the overall point total of the game without factoring in the margin of victory. 

I didn't make the rules, I just enforce 'em.  We don't have an official process for updating the rules, but I'm happy to change the code on the backend.  Do you have a proposal for a rule change that would capture what you're looking to achieve that we can bring to those on the cardboard far more versed in game theory than I?

It is crazy that 10 years ago I spent the football season obsessing over how we were getting screwed by ESPN / the SEC because they were too scared to play us in the National Championship game.  5 years ago I spent the football season parsing through David Shaw's comments looking for any sign that he was going to reignite the magic.  2 years ago I spent the football season railing against our stupid uniforms and why we couldn't just stick with the classics.  And now I'm spending the football season using chatgpt to help me figure out archaic php message board software to run a game that around 30 people actually seem to play.

Thank you for your service. :) Seems like the main category for scoring could be closest to the margin of victory instead of closest to total points, meaning that the "error score" is margin of victory. Everything else the same including bonus points for correctly guessing scores. But I haven't gamed it out and I'm not going to, so all good. It was the first time I participated, and I knew I had the most pessimistic prediction. I'm not joking when I thought during the game that "hey, at least I'm going to win the prediction!" So I was surprised that I didn't, lol.
