Jake:

I noticed that you rank the tiebreaker standings within each point (i.e., 34, 33, 32) by predicted total number of points that are different from the total point outcome.

This seems a bit odd to me for several reasons. First, it does not give any value to predicting the actual winner of the contest. Second, it gives no value to predicting the margin of victory.

Although these issues did not seem to affect the week one standings, they might in the future.

I'd be interested in your feedback, and anyone else's.
