Thank you George for all the time and effort to make this happen!

I think this format works just fine, but for the sake of throwing out ideas, there used to be an all-Pac-10 predictions pool that awarded points per game as follows:

10 points for picking correct winner

Up to 10 points for margin of victory (if you pick a 1-point loss for Stanford and it's a 2-point win, you get 10 - 3 = 7 points)

Up to 10 points for Stanford score (same formula as above)

Up to 10 points for opponent score 

10 point bonus for picking exact game score (or exact spread if desired)

I liked that this format rewarded picking the spread even if total points were off. And it was nice to have a fixed point value per game that was pretty intuitive to follow. You knew the maximum score was 50 points.
