Predict the Score Contest, Week 7 NE @ CHI

[alamo]

Post your predictions here for Week 7, New England Patriots at Chicago Bears.

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 Bears 28 your score is how many points off of 31 the Pats are (over or under does not matter) PLUS how many points off of 28 the Bears 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!

This is still the last time the Patriots were seen in the Super Bowl.

January 26, 1997:

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, for the National Football League championship game, Super Bowl XXXI, featuring the National Football Conference champion Green Bay Packers versus the American Football Conference champion...the, uh...um...uh, when did they let USFL teams in NFL? Is this a dream? The who? No, the Patriots have the best uniforms in sports, that's just silly...What? My kid's high school football team has more professional looking uniforms than that. This is a joke, right? Sorry, folks, we're clearly experiencing technical difficulties..."

Pats - 31
Bears (still suck) - 13
