This is round 23 of this year's prediction competition presented by Kinnaird Guitars. It is a very simple contest, just copy and paste what I have below between the two lines and fill in your prediction including the tiebreaker. The tiebreaker will occasionally change so be aware and make sure to check it. In order to determine the winner I will take the difference between your prediction of the SFA points and their actual points. Then I will take the difference of your prediction of the opponents points and their actual points. I will then add them together and determine the outcome. If you choose the wrong winner, you will be assessed a penalty which will be the worst score of those that chose the right winner.

The closest prediction will receive 10 points and then so on (2nd gets 9, 3rd gets 8...). If you have a perfect prediction, you will receive an 8 points bonus! I will do my best to have the scores posted within the next day of the game but no guarantees.

The tiebreaker for this game is the total SFA rebounds for the game. Good luck!

I have exactly half of the point total of cboothe09, so obviously the Jacks played a lot of games that I was not made aware of. Anywho...

Melvin, you already put in a prediction. Which one am I keeping?

So, I hope it's not possible to take points away. Boy was I way off.

Everybody with the exception of RedRiver did a pretty good job of predicting the UIW score

In the long run, is being off 20 any different than being off 13? That's just a touchdown

Round 23 thoughts:

- Getting near crunch time in the prediction contest, it's time to start making the final moves. cboothe09 keeps measuring out his lead by scoring consistently game to game. BigJack85 has had solid finishes lately (2nd in this game) to move up into a tie for third place overall. If we make it to postseason games, then we might double the points to make the final predictions more interesting.

- A pattern has started to emerge in the last several weeks - the vast majority of points scored come after 9 predictions have been made. It's clear that most of the "contenders" are hedging their predictions based on everyone else's picks to guarantee points every game. If you wanted to combat them, you could wait until right before tip off to place your prediction. However, don't wait too long. The game closes at tip-off!
