Predict the Score CONTEST, Week 2 NE @ NO

[alamo]

Post your predictions here for Week 2, New England Patriots at New Orleans Saints.

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 38 Saints 31 your score is how many points off of 38 the Pats are (over or under does not matter) PLUS how many points off of 31 the Saints 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!

The saints defense was bad last week, like laughably bad and Tom has now had another 10 days to get in sync with all his new weapons so I expect the offense to do well. The defense last week I think had more bad communication and blown assignments then lacking skill/speed/ability to tackle. Sadly they are going up against one of the best QB's in the league who will make them pay for any more of those this week. So I expect the scoreboard to not reflect a much better effort.
