OK, we have time for at least one more main game of Net Definition in '09. This *may* be the last one for the year. So if you ever wanted to have fun with the pun, this is a good time to qualify.
If you've played in Game 11, 12 or 13, please sit on your hands and let someone else in on the action. Closest to the right answer to the qualifying question plays against our current champ, John Menjes. The query...
To say the least, the VBS Action News sports department and the rest of the neighborhoods in and around Hattiesburg are all abuzz about the New Orleans Saints' current 8-0 record. The Saints' next game is on the road against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.
Before the game kicks off, predict the total number of points scored by the Saints and Rams in this NFL game. (Please note we're not necessarily asking for a final score prediction. So if you respond "Saints 49, Rams 3", I'll have to count that as a total score prediction of 52 points.)
This is one of the early games on Sunday. So the deadline for predictions is Sunday at 1:00pm EST/12:00pm CST. I plan to reveal (what will end up being) the correct answer sometime Sunday night and start a new game from there.
(time passes)
As a friend tweeted, the Saints are now "9 and eaux". They beat the Rams by a final score of 28-23 -- making the correct answer...

...51 points. Who's the closest?
Eddie Timanus 48
It's Eddie with 48. No surprise that a sports guy would get this one. :) Net Definition continues in a moment.

Doug: You all know Eddie from his appearances on other shows -- and you know that he's blind. He's assured me he has the technology to make out the blank spaces on the board. So let's get our players and the technology to work in our first round for 250 points.
ADVANCE TO CY$250 ROUND
