Default sum a set of cells based on comparing a different set of cells

I have a worksheet that has a set of values (numbers) in row G. I would like
to add those values but only if the values (which are letters) in row B match
letters that are in columns c through f. I will attempt to place an example
below this.


A B C D E F G H
1 TEAM A TA TB TC TD TE .5
2 TEAM B TB TC TD TB TE .2
3 TEAM C TC TD TB TF TG .1
4 TEAM D TD TE TG TH TB .7
5 TEAM E TE TF TB TC TH .3
6 TEAM F TF TG TA TB TD .3
7 TEAM G TG TH TC TD TA .4
8 TEAM H TH TA TD TE TF .6

So in this case, for Team A, they competed against Teams B, C, D and E. I
want to add the vales in Column G only for the teams that team A competed
against. I tried using the SumIf function, and write it something like this:

=sumif(c1:f1,b1:b8,g1:g8)

but that just returned a value of 0...

Is what I want to do possible? And if it is possible, how in the world
would I do this? Thanks in advance and I am sorry if this is too complicated
to read after I post it...
