5 points for correct pick
3 points for +/- 1 correct pick
1 point for +/- 2 correct pick

Example: I have...
#1 Reggie Bush
#2 D'Brickasaw Ferguson
#3 Matt Leinart
#4 Mario Williams
#5 AJ Hawk

It goes..
#1 Reggie Bush
#2 Mario Williams
#3 Matt Leinart
#4 AJ Hawk
#5 Mario Williams

I'd receive 5 points for Bush, 0 points for Ferguson, 5 points for Leinart, 1 point for Williams, and 3 points for Hawk

The first Williams (#2) is supposed to be Vince Young (therefore, I would get 0 points for my Ferguson pick)... sorry
