3rd week in a row that my score was wrong. I should have 8 points for the colts game not 5
i am getting frustrated that this keeps happening and no response that the scores have been adjusted
this new format is complete garbage in my opinion.

Correction, 4th week in a row as far as i can tell
and my posts 2 and 3 weeks ago pointing out the error dont seem to be there, so to track it down i will have to review all of the scores over the past 4 weeks.
way too much trouble
fwiw i think it is around 30 points i am missing

3rd week in a row that my score was wrong. I should have 8 points for the colts game not 5
I corrected two weeks of scores last week after finding an error in how I was entering the results.
You can see old weeks by going to past posts for the contest. Each week has the scores for that week (along with the total season score) on it.
The Colts won by 3. The spread for getting more points is 0 (30% of 3 is 0.9 and that's rounded down). I kept that rule from past seasons. A game has to be won by 4 or more to have a spread that awards more points.
I need to add the game results and the margins back to the results so this is clearer and it's easier to spot errors.
This is the first NFL season with the new code. If anyone else has scores they think are messed up let me know and I'll recheck them.

I figure if I keep picking the Lions to win they continue to lose, the more reason for them to sent Quinn and Patricia packing. The good ole Detroit Lions, been rebuilding for 50 years.

If anyone else has scores they think are messed up...
My score is messed up, but I don't think you've added incorrectly, rcade

Something is messed up, but it's not my scores. It's more likely my ability to pick winners and losers.

Looking forward to seeing the quarterbackless Broncos playing the Saints. It's one of the afternoon games televised here.

This is a pretty competitive Turkey Day slate of games. Houston is 3-7 and Detroit 4-6 and the Cowboys and Football Team are a half-game out of the NFC East lead despite being 3-7.
