For those of you who are new or simply forgot how it works, here goes. A few days prior to each JMU game, we&#8217;ll publish a prediction contest post. To enter, simply leave a comment indicating who will win and what the final score will be. The person who is closest to predicting the winner and score wins. And your prize is the right to write a guest post on anything your heart desires the following week. Pretty simple, right?<\/p>\n<p>For the sake of clarity, we&#8217;re defining closest as lowest total point differential for whomever predicted the correct winner. If there&#8217;s a tie we&#8217;ll flip or coin or something. Just trust us. The prize is a guest post, not a million bucks.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, JMU welcomes Central Connecticut State to town for the 2013 season opener. The Dukes are anxious to start the season off right and show off their new and improved offense. Let us know who wins and the what the final score will be in the comments. And bring your A-game if you win the right to guest post. We may or may not be using this contest to scout talent and find a new blogger to join us full time.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D5782&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re going to run the prediction contests back again this year.
