2023 IUFB Prediction League - Week 5 at Maryland 9/30/23 3:30pm BTN

[LIHoosier 25,829]

Note: I had to go to Maryland's site to confirm the time and TV for the game cuz IU is too ashamed to let anyone know when they play and where to witness it. That's all you need to know.

How does this work?

Each week I will create Prediction League threads for the weeks game(s).

It's a simple concept:

Each week you start with 100 points (only if a prediction is made, otherwise 0 points for the week)
+25 PTs if you guess the winner
-25 PTs if you pick the loser
+10 PTs if guess IU score correctly
+10 PTs if guess Opponent score correct
-The # of points different between the actual and predicted score of IU (over/under doesn't matter)
-The # of points different between the actual and predicted score of opponent (over/under doesn't matter)

*** Reminder if you post a prediction and want to change it, please just POST a NEW Prediction, do not edit a prior post as I may miss those edits.

The person with the most points (MINUS LOWEST GAME) at the end of the season wins.

Could we just phone this one in?    Fan Duel --  Indiana opens up as 14.5-pt underdogs and an O/U of 50.5 against Maryland next Saturday.

Maryland Turtles                           27

Indiana doesn't run the ball well.  The Hoosiers only got 3 first downs against Akron.  Playing on the road is not a joy for IU.  And we do not typically cover the spread.  Our offensive play calling is pure drudgery. To top it all off, I have Covid-19 and feel lousy. But I am under the care of young Dr. Frankenstein, and my hair is growing back.

What else is on in that time slot?  Reruns of Sammy Terry hosted old black and white Lon Chaney and Boris Karloff movies?    Or The Avengers with Emma Peel. Oh yeah!
