I thought devour didn’t count as damage? So if you devour the other team you’ll be doing less damage abd scoring less?  
Silver linings?

It doesn’t count as damage dealt in regards to the damage ratio component of the formula. Getting a skull hit in afterwards with the buffed beast sort of negates that again. The damage ratio component only seems to contribute at most half base score for the whole fight, so devouring someone should at worst cost a few dozen points, at best you’ll even benefit.
