Predict the Score Contest, Week 2 NE @ NYJ

[alamo]

Post your predictions here for Week 2, New England Patriots at New York Jets.

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, a week can be missed any time before the final week 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 27 Jets 19 your score is how many points off of 28 the Pats are (over or under does not matter) PLUS how many points off of 19 the Jets are (over or under again 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!

Jets run at will and Dustin Kellar open all day.

Jets 31

Pats 17

This game may define the Patriot's season. Can the offensive line

block for Brady? Can the defense stop the running game and intermediate

passes? Can the players on another team give the Patriots the

finger and get away with it?

49-10, Pats. Running up the score talk ensues.

Pats 24 Jets 19

Jets will move the ball all day, but BB's schemes in the red zone will lead to only one Jets TD. Lito Sheppard will prove the weakpoint of the Jets D and give up 2 big play TD's (one to Galloway).
