Week 5 Top Ten and Key Game Predictions

Week 5 Top Ten and Key Game Predictions

This is probably one of my favorite things to do is predict games.  I am one of the few who take a chance and predict the results of game.  What I normally do is predict the winner and a guess by how much the team will win by.  Every week (except last week but I will start posting on Sunday the results) I recap how I did and keep a running record to let keep myself accountable.  I have a method to how I predict scores; usually if I go (1 to 7) mean a very close, upset, or a very good game (8 to 14) it means it will be a close/good game, (15 to 31) means it could turn into a game or the favorite will blow it open, (32 and up) usually means I am heavily leaning towards the favorite and could be a blowout.
