According to your ORIGINAL scoring model, predicting 2.5 - 1.5 exactly should be a +3 (+2 correct, and +1 bonus), not +4. Which is it?

Bionic Lime Quantitative Model:
DAL-MIA +3 or +4
NYK-NJK 0
BOS-BAL 0
PHI-QNS 0
SFM-TEN +2
CAR-SEA +4

So, Bionic Lime is +9 or +10 too.

Yes, you are correct, I just got mixed up about how many points you got for a correct 2.5 - 1.5 prediction this week for some reason. I believe I've corrected for that now though. Thanks for the heads up!

Oops, it also appears that I made a similar mistake in both Weeks 3 and 4 for how much a correct 2.5 - 1.5 was worth. Hopefully everything is correct now though.
