This will be a season long contest on predictions for just the Arkansas game.

How to play:
1.  Predict the final score of the game.
2.  Entry must be submitted prior to kickoff.  Time stamp on FF will be used.

Scoring:
1.  Correct Winner = 25 points
2.  Getting Arkansas Score Exactly Correct = 30 points
3.  If not exact, amount you miss it by subtracted from 30 = your score
4.  Repeat process for opposing team.
5.  Exactly guessing winning margin = 30 points
6.  If not exact on margin, you subtract the amount you missed it by from 30 to get your score.  If you miss the winner, you will not score here.

Examples:

DipstickDude Predicts Arkansas 31 Missouri St 10

Final Score is Arkansas 45  Missouri St 9

Scoring would be:

Winner Correct = 25
Arkansas's Score = 30 - (45-31) = 16
Missouri St's Score = 30 - (10-9) = 29
Margin = 30 - (36 actual -21 predicted) = 15 

Total Score:  85 out of a max possible of 115.

Your season score will accumulate with the your best 10 scores counting.  We will play through the LSU game.

Grand Prize:  TBD, but it'll be something worth around $25 or so.  Even if I handle it myself.

Good Luck!

That would be true freshman Kierra Harris from Texarkana.

FYI, you can repeat a score that someone else guessed.  The sole exception will be the last week of the contest.

I'm puzzled by these scores.  So PB, you think we are going to average one TD per quarter?  And OD thinks one TD in each quarter except 1 in which we'll get 2?  I don't see the logic behind those predictions.  I just don't see us scoring less than 7 TD's.  I expect us to have no less than 4 in the first half.  I would sure like to hear an explanation on these low score predictions.

It's the first frickin game of the season, we have a new QB, questions at RB, and a young OL. I hope we score 60, but I doubt we will.

What OD just said on top of the INT's that I saw our now starting QB throw in person last year...  I am hoping we go undefeated but this first game we will have to grow up very fast to put up 49 points...

It's the first game for both teams.  MO State is going against what may end up being the best defense in the SEC this year.  I suspect our D will get the ball back to the Offense quickly and on a regular basis.  Questions at RB??  What?  We're not going against an SEC team here.  Our line and RB's will have no problem against this team.  If they hold us to less than 250 yards rushing, they will have to consider it a huge success.

Did you also see him lead the team to several scores in that game?  Grow up?  Seriously?  We're not a young team by any means.  No doubt we will see a couple of young offensive linemen but there are also very good veterans on said line.  So let's say Wilson throws a couple of picks, that would give cause to worry going against Bama or aTm, but not MO state.  I would not be surprised to see our defense pick up two scores of their own.

Guys we are not going to score just 4 or 5 times in this game.  Heck we may score 4 times in one quarter.

Pick your score DB. That's the name of this game.

Thats a 45 point difference. My pick is a 38 point difference. That's ONLY 1 touchdown apart...goob!


BTW, you expect MSU to score 10 points against the "best defense in the SEC" right?

Hogs 45

Petrino pulls starters early in 2nd half. With Davis out for the year and Johnson still not 100%, Hogs can not afford an injury to backfield personnel.
