The NFL’s regular season is over which means one thing: 12 teams will be vying for NFL championship glory in Super Bowl LV.
The Prediction Challenge! is easy to play: just pick the game winners and the margins of victory each weekend (no more than six games to predict in any given weekend) during the playoffs. Each of the four rounds counts equally towards a player’s final score!
The Entry Form requires players to begin by selecting the teams that will win each game, and the margin of victory.
Like other Prediction Challenges, points will be awarded based on whether the winning team has been correctly predicted, and the predicted margin of victory will also be scored as well. (For the latter case, if one team is predicted to win by 3 points, the other team wins by six, that prediction is incorrect by nine points.)
Bonus points will be awarded based on how many winning teams are correct, as well as how many scores are predicted correctly to within three points.
There is no limit to the number of players who may enter.
It’s $10 to play, as usual!
Hope you’ll join us! Kickoff is Saturday morning, Victoria time!
An imperious display from Max Verstappen saw him breeze to his second victory of 2020 at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix season finale, leading home the Mercedes duo of Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton, who had no answer to the Red Bull’s pace around the Yas Marina Circuit.
Top Point Drives of the Day
Our Game
John Lo was the leader on our day, earning top points on what turned out to be a difficult race to handicap, earning 110 out of possible 148 points, and having the better driver in five of the nine scoring rows.
Congratulations to Ian, our 2020 Champion!
Congratulations to Ian upon his first Prediction Challenge win! Danielle came on strong the last two races of the season to secure second place ahead of John Cavelti who repeated his podium finish of 2019.
I hope all players enjoyed this Formula 1 Prediction Challenge! and the chance to match wits with other motorsport fans in this most unusual year! Thank you for playing! ~ Michael

Our season-ending Grand Prix will have all rows in play, with eight of them being either even or 4-2 splits on favoured drivers.
Ian looks to be hard to unseat from top spot with a 76-point lead, but only 19 points separate Danielle and John Cavelti in the battle for second.
Enjoy the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix!
