Predict the Score Contest, NE @ SF

[alamo]

Post your predictions here for Week 5, New England Patriots at San Francisco 49ers.

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 23 49ers 10 your score is how many points off of 23 the Pats are (over or under does not matter) PLUS how many points off of 17 the 49ers 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!

I think we are in for a big surprise. Unfortunately the growing pains continue for Matt Cassel, as moving the chains will be an issue against an improved SF team. This is the 49ers' super bowl, they haven't been this excited for a game since the 2002 Wild Card game against the Giants. Throw in the fact that this is Steve Young's jersey retirement ceremony. I think the D keeps the Pats in it for a while, but JT O sullivan and Frank Gore will be too much to handle in the 2nd half
