Predict the Score Contest, Week 4 NE @ OAK

[alamo]

Post your prediction here for Week 4, New England Patriots at Oakland Raiders.

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 31 Raiders 21 your score is how many points off of 31 the Pats are (over or under does not matter) PLUS how many points off of 21 the Raiders 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!

38 to 13 statement game,
Campbell get's sacked 7 times,
Ras I dowling get's his first career td,
Brady goes 20 for 28 but 3 tds, Ridley leads the team with 70 yards on 12 carries
Shane Vereen scores on a screen that goes to the tune of 37 yards,
Darren Mcfadden is held to 70 yds rushing as Oakland has to keep passing as their playing catch up.
Janikowski misses a easy field goal to stop the momentum that the raiders offense starts picking up on their first offensive series,
Jerod Mayo actually intercepts a pass as opposed to let it bounce off his chest.
