Sticking with 42-13, 2 FG for them plus a garbage score late or on their opening drive (before adjustments). We don't show too much but give LSU a few we want them to see. Then cruise.

According to this, we should all be betting on this game. I think all prognostications so far would cover, with the possible exception of one depending on the line fluctuation. Easy money...

2. How many rushing yards for Shumpert?

Hard to predict tie-breakers, given none of us know how much playing time each will receive, but I'll give it a whirl:

Our boys come out with a huge chip-on-their-shoulder due to lack of respect. USM will talk smack pre-game, then pay the price after kickoff. Blowout by halftime, Maroons up by 35. Fitz comes in early and continues domination, though 2nd team defense gives up some garbage-time scores. Good guys double up Mustard Buzzards in 1st downs and total yardage, even more lop-sided 3rd-down efficiency, and finish up by 42. something like 59-17.

May be optimistic due to showing little of playbook, which may keep the score artificially lower than my estimate, but I also believe we will trounce them soundly even with vanilla play-calling, so gonna stick with it.

66-0 Dawgs

1. 3 #DakAttack passing TDs

I don't expect Dak & Shump to be in the game longer than maybe the first drive of the 3rd Quarter. And I expect some of Shump's carries will be spread out between A-Train & Lee along with that. So good numbers, but nothing huge.

[PMDawg]

45-20 MSU
4 PTD for Dak
76 yards for Shump as carries will be split a bunch.

[starkvegasdawg]

I see a lot of people predicting scores which require a FG to be made. That's pure optimism right there.

Winner!

2nd place was Dawg-gone-dawgs and Dawgface in a tie at an 18 point win.

Congrats! I'll see if I can get you some vCash.

(Scooba...think you can help me hook him up with some vcash?)

Wait what? It was an 18 point win. What's the criteria, closest to actual score or closest to margin? With the other being tiebreaker I guess...

[CadaverDawg]

I was actually looking at closest and margin, but margin being #1. Then tiebreakers.

Let me know if I made an error. I'm definitely capable, ha

Damn. 5 pts off total.

@Cadaver this actually ties for closest with 31-14, not being 5 pts off total. But clearly he got me on the second tiebreaker as well as margin.

Thanks. Yea I was using margin of victory as my #1 criteria. I guess that's the best strategy. How do most people do it? I'll do whatever everyone wants moving forward. Just thought margin would be easiest to calculate, ha

[drunkernhelldawg]

Subtract points from actual score of each team. Subtract margin of victory. Lowest point total wins. One way to do it.

Problem with margin is that 98-80 would have won over 35-16 even though 35-16 was clearly closer.

Subtracting points from each side then adding them should be #1. Then margin, then the tie breakers. Just IMO I'm sure there's an even better way to do it.

[Bane Uoykcuf]

I will let you know the LSU margin for $59.99!!!

Yea. I'll throw 1,000 his way.
