Your Mission - Predictions

Here is your assignment for the week. Let's say team A is playing team B and team A is favored by me to win by ten points. If you are team A your job is to win by more than ten points. If you are team B your job is not to let team A win by ten points and beat them if you can. And if you really beat them you get a real win, not just an improvement win. If I guess the exact scoring margin both teams played their best. Get it? You may not win but you can always improve.

Team A     24
Team B     18     winner

because they didn't let team A win by ten.

Bantam

Burleson over Midlothian 1 by 10
Cleburne 1 over Whitney by 24
Alvarado 1 over Joshua 1 by 17
Cleburne 2 over Kennedale by 1
Crowley over Joshua 2 by 48
Alvarado 2 over Midlothian 2 by 24

Minor

Hillsboro over Midlothian 3 by 11
Burleson 2 over Alvarado 2 by 27
Alvarado 1 over Cleburne 1 by 5
Joshua 1 over Midlothian 1 by 8
Whitney over Burleson 1 by 41
Midlothian 4 over Cleburne 2 by 42
Crowley over Cleburne 3 by 7
Midlothian 2 over Joshua 2 by 14

Major

Burleson 2 over Hillsboro by 24
Kennedale over Alvarado 2 by 1
Alvarado 1 over Joshua 1 by 47
Burleson 1 over Burleson 3 by 34
Midlothian 1 over Cleburne 1 by 18
Midlothian 2 over Joshua 2 by 31
Cleburne 2 over Midlothian 3 by 1
Crowley over Joshua 3 by 46

There, now no matter how much better the other team is assumed to be, you can still be a winner if you show me you're better than I expected. And you favorites can get knocked down a notch or two if you don't prove you're as good as I say.
