I refuse to make any predictions about Utah, or any other team except BYU. It is already too much to keep track of one team, but many of you losers are keeping track of TWO teams. You are either geniuses or freaks... or both.

Week #3 of the Utah prediction contest.

Remember, that the first two lines of a prediction post should take the following form:

Utah|X
Oregon|Y

The order is important; Utah should be on the first line. The delimiter is a pipe/vertical bar (|). Remember, it is not a lower case L (l). The pipe/vertical bar key can usually be found above the enter key on your keyboard (as in SHIFT-\). That formatting is important because the data are gathered via a automated script.

Note, you can update or change your prediction up until kickoff. The script automatically will use your last prediction post.

I am feeling compassionate so here you go. How you can turn in a score prediction for any game. Typically this method will yield a rank in the inter-quartile range. Look up the vegas line (spread and over/under) and then do the following:

let o = the over/under

o = points_{underdog} + points_{favorite}
  = points_{underdog} + (points_{underdog} + spread)

solve for points_{underdog}

points_{underdog} = (o-spread)/2
points_{favorite} = points_{underdog} + spread

So for Utah:

points_{utah} = (43.5-5)/2 = 19.25
points_{oregon} = 19.25+5 = 24.25

If I knew 100% what Asiata will be like tomorrow my prediction would be very different.

Winning streak has to end sometime and Utah's defense is overated this year.
