Predict the Score Contest, Week 12 DET @ NE

Pats 31-24

27-17, Patriots.

Pats 27-13

Pats 24 - 17

Pats 35 Lions 17 (late garbage TD for the Lions)

As reigning weekly champion, here are my picks (like I ain't going to pat myself on the back):

Patriots - 31
Cowardly Lions - 10

This game reminds me a lot of that Vikings game where they had the number one run d with the Williams manning the middle. Pats spread them out and threw a ton of short quick passes to make the fatties chase them all game long. I expect huge days from Eldeman and Amendola with long time consuming drives. While it will be clear to anyone who watched the game domination was had, scoring will be closer then it really was.

Pats might be due for a bit of a letdown. Lions defense is very good and it feels like a bit of a trap game. I would actually pick Detroit if this game was there. At Foxboro and Megatron not 100% I'm going with 20-16 Pats.
