August 7, 20241 yr There's been a lot of discussion and speculation in the fall camp thread about what the receiver rotation will look like this year. I propose that we have a season-long prediction contest to have a little fun with it, put our money where our mouths are, and support TOF all at the same time. Rules: Predict the total regular season receiving yards for each of our presumed top 6 receivers: Silas Bolden, Isaiah Bond, Johntay Cook, Matthew Golden, DeAndre Moore, and Ryan Wingo. Post-season yards don't count, only the 12 regular season games. Receiving yards only, no rushing or return yardage. All other receivers, tight ends, and backs are not part of the contest. Entry fee $50 per person. End-of-season winner gets half the pot, TOF gets half. Entries due by August 30. Scoring: Quote I am 100% making this up as I go along. If one of the big brains around here comes along and finds a big hole in the formula, this is all subject to change. Final scores will be based on the total (absolute value) percent difference between predicted and actual yardage for all 6 receivers. Say you predict that DeAndre Moore will have 700 yards this year. Then he actually ends the season with 900. Your score for Moore would be abs( (700-900) / 700 ) * 100 = 28.6. So your total final score that we use to determine the winner would be 28.6 plus the same calculation for each of the other 5 receivers. Lowest score wins. Finally, I'll give a 10% final score bonus for getting all 6 in the correct order. In other words, if you have the final order correct, your final score will be (calculated score * 0.90). I'll post a running leaderboard every week after the game. Lastly, to get the ball rolling, here's my prediction. Consider this the first entry: Quote Bond 800 Bolden 500 Cook 475 Wingo 450 Golden 400 Moore 200
August 7, 20241 yr Quote 1. Bolden 900 2. Cook 700 3. Bond 500 4. Moore 400 5. Wingo 250 6. Golden 200
