[mithily]

honestly don't understand what the game plays are but did it anyway

Think I did this one justice. Used lots of random sampling for the result.

I like the fact that this question assumes you know how to calculate some ill-defined "NFL matchup score" but also gives you a hand if you can't replicate a dice roll. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Solution attached.

Instructions were a bit confusing but this is what I ended up with after having a look at some of the other solutions

I tried my best to come up with a solution for this -- I looked at the provided solution and I honestly don't see how we are supposed to arrive at that given the provided instructions. I also don't know much about football. With that said, here's my college try.

I kind of get the gist of the game, and you could go on forever with your solution to simulate the results of throwing a dice

Had fun using the new (to me) Rank tool in this! I took the non-beginner route and calculated the die rolls. I also designed it so the workflow randomly matches up two teams since I know nothing about footy-ball. 🤣

I was really unclear about how to incorporate the Multiplier into the prediction. I looked at the Alteryx Solution but that didn't help - I'm unclear why that random Multi-Row difference field was added. I looked at other people's solutions and they seemed to solve this in a variety of ways, so eventually I just scrapped the Multiplier piece and randomly picked Catch vs Drop for the outcome, without the dice Multiplier at all.

Not sure if I got this one right but I have an answer influenced by the dice roll either way
