This is a predict the stats game where you have to predict 14 stats from the game tomorrow, and person with the best aggregate score wins. Just post (in this thread, before kickoff) your predictions for the following stats, and the person with the best aggregate score (as defined below) wins! If you win, you get bragging rights for the week.

1 Patriots total points:
2 Ravens total points:
3 # Patriots third down conversions:
4 # Ravens third down conversions:
5 Patriots time of posession (minutes):
6 Ravens TOP (minutes):
7 Patriots rushing yards:
8 Ravens rushing yards:
9 Pats passing yards:
10 Ravens passing yards:
11 Pats number of sacks:
12 Ravens number of sacks:
13 # Pats turnovers:
14 # Ravens turnovers:

To facilitate comparisons between different units (e.g.,sacks and yards), instead of just adding the numbers I will do some math voodoo (see below) so your score for each category will be on a scale of 0 to Infinity, where 0 is when you hit it right on. Then, I'll take the average for all the values. Person with average closest to zero (no mistakes) wins.

For the nerds, for each statistic, I'll calculate:
where |x| is the absolute value.

The difference is that Brady calmly calls audibles while Manning flaps like a chicken, barks 11 code words, and makes sure every camera in the stadium has documented his once-in-a-generation (and patented, I believe) ability to see a defensive formation and change the play. Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.

Note I changed it from 'first downs' to 'third down conversions'. People that do first downs, I'll use that stat for your score. I changed it because it seems strange: each posession you get a first down, so it is not something you earn.
