Predict the Score Contest, Week 13 NE @ HOU

[alamo]

Post your predictions here for Week 13, New England Patriots at Houston Texans.

This contest is open to everyone, it's both a weekly and a season-long contest. Stakes are bragging rights.

Each week I will tabulate and post the scores for the previous week's contest, as well as the cumulative season standings for those who have played every week. As a one-time allowance for computer problems, forgetfulness, or whatever, one week can be missed and will be assigned that week's average score.

Scoring:
Your score is the COMBINED deviation of your predicted score for the Pats and opponents REGARDLESS OF DIRECTION. For example, if you predict Patriots 35 Texans 20 your score is how many points off of 35 the Pats are (over or under does not matter) PLUS how many points off of 20 the Texans are (over or under again does not matter). Game winner does not matter. Lowest score wins.

You may change your prediction at any time before kickoff, either by editing your original post or by adding a new one. Predictions made in other threads don't count unless they were clearly meant for this contest but were posted elsewhere by mistake. Please keep this thread to predictions only, no back-and-forth discussion of the game. A short comment explaining your pick is OK.

Good luck!

The Texans are demoralized. They've given up hope and are giving up on the season. Many teams might show mercy and go up nicely and then run out the clock. Not the Pats though. The Pats sense a wounded animal and it's time to go in for the kill. Mercy is for wussies.

Keenum stinks and Tate is a drop-off from Foster (and he's banged up). No let-down here, the team is on a mission to get a 1st round bye

I can't figure this one out. They have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball, but they also suck monkey nuts...
