Game 1: Linton over Richland in a close game. Richland has a tough time stopping teams from scoring.
Game 2: Cavalier by 20
Game 3: Kidder Cty by 1 over NRS
Game 4: Wyndmere in a blowout
Game 5: Hettinger-Scranton by 2
Game 6: Kenmare by 26
Game 7: TGU by 18
Game 8: St. John by 4 over Bowman County
I could be wrong, but I see half the games as close contests this week.

But no matter what, each game also has bonus points based on AdjOppW (Adjusted Opponent Wins - a win would be the Opponent Wins and a loss would be the Opponent Wins - 1) times a multiplier (1 for a loss and 8 for a win), then you would divide that by the number of opponent games to get a Bonus Point Average value. Add the point value to the BP Average to get Playoff Points for that game (losses would only get bonus points).
Take the Playoff Points from all the games played and divide it by the number of games played to get Total Playoff Points.
Here are a couple links for some examples:

Score has nothing to do with their formula. What I like best about it is you get the same amount of points for beating a poor team (under .250 and in your division) as you would for losing to a good team from up a division (.750+ and at least 1 classification higher).
It also makes it unique in that you don't have to play every team in your region, in fact I was looking on SDHSAA.com the other day (by the way, WAY better then our website) and there are some teams that don't even play a single team in their region for football.
I would suggest that NDHSAA look at the powerpoint formula as a way to seed all of our state stuff, but that would probably pass the district chairs meeting 14-2 and get voted down by the board as well.

According to their handbook there is no bonus points for football...NDHSAA doesn't like change that seems to be for the better
