Predict the Score Contest, Week 9 DEN @ NE

[alamo]

Post your predictions here for Week 9, Denver Broncos at 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 31 Broncos 24 your score is how many points off of 31 the Pats are (over or under does not matter) PLUS how many points off of 24 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.

Good luck!

Broncos offense and defense is far superior to the Pats. This Broncos team maybe the best team ever in the history of the NFL. Screw Belichick for letting Talib walk for Revis and signing LaFAIL instead of Emmanuel Sanders. How come Broncos got all those players and all BB brought in was Revis, Browner, and LaFAIL? Then Belichick had to be the smartest person in the room again and gets rid of Mankins and Kelly. How's that $10.4m in cap space looking now Bill? Is it gonna block Miller and Ware Sunday or shutdown Thomas or Sanders? They lost this game back in the off-season. Manning never losses these types of games.
