EXPLANATION:
The goal is to predict each game correctly, not necessarily to predict the team's final record correctly.
Thus, if the team goes 6-5, someone who correctly predicts a 6-5 record, but does it by picking the
"wrong" five losses, will NOT do well in the contest. Such a person would have a "prediction record" of 1-10.
However, if two contestants have an identical "prediction record," the one who is closest to predicting
the team's win-loss record will finish ahead. This is the "first tiebreaker."
The "second tiebreaker" is the difference between the predicted margin of victory/defeat
and the actual margin of victory/defeat in all games thus played, combined.
