The Official MICHIGAN vs New Jersey State University Score Prediction Thread

shouldnt 45-10 win since it was closer to the margin of victory?

I had 34-3, which is a margin of victory of 31. I think I should win because my prediction was closer to the margin of victory without going over, and well it is my prediction after all.
 
It's always been closest to the final score.

So a 24-0 prediction and 44-20 prediction with the same margin are not the same prediction so if the score were 23-3, the 24-0 prediction would win


edit -

and i just went back through the thread. umdixon's prediction of 45-17 missed the UM final by 4pts and Rutgers by 1pt, so 5 total points off ...

45-10 would be very close as well but missed the UM final by the same 4pts but missed Rutgers score by a full TD, or 6pts, so 10 total points off ...

I was just kidding about my prediction being the winner. Dixon's got it.
