Predict the Score Contest, AFC Championship NE@DEN

[alamo]

Post your predictions here for the AFC Championship Game, New England Patriots at Denver Broncos.

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 30 Broncos 21 your score is how many points off of 30 the Pats are (over or under does not matter) PLUS how many points off of 21 the Broncos 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. Don't depend on "if this then this score, if that then this other score".

Good luck!

Pats comfortably in control until the the early 3rd quarter. Manning leaves the game after a Ninko sack. Osweiller kills the Pats on several WTF plays on 3rd down and ******** penalties puts Denver in position to score the go ahead TD late in the 4th. Denver goes on to get crucified by Carolina in the SB.

I can't get my head around a score prediction, but I'll say this: If New England scores more than 24 they win. If they score less than 20, they lose.
