Alamo's Predict The Score Predict the Score Contest, Week 1 PIT @ NE

[alamo]

Welcome to the Fifteenth year of the Patsfans.com Predict the Score Contest!

Post your predictions here for Week 1, Pittsburgh Steelers at the New England Patriots.

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 23 Steelers 21 your score is how many points off of 23 the Pats are (over or under does not matter) PLUS how many points off of 21 the Steelers 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. Predictions made in other threads don't count unless they were clearly meant for this contest. Don't depend on "if this then this score, if that then this other score". Please keep this thread to predictions only, no back-and-forth discussion of the game. A short comment about your pick is OK.

Good luck!

16-13, Patriots. Expecting some growing pains with the offense considering the suspensions and roster turnover. The Steelers defense also probably got better, and they seem to have finally learned once and for all not to play zone against Brady. Luckily, their offense got worse and our D is just as good as it was in the playoffs.

I don't think our offense is ready to score on this faster Steeler D. We only scored 10 in week 15 last year with Gronk. They are going to maul us...our D will keep us in the game (down 10-3) until late in the 4th when we allow two big TD's...probably off a turn over and a garbage time TD to put the game out of reach.
