Predict the Score RESULTS, Week 1 NE @ ARI

[alamo]

40% of us picked the Cards, but you can never count out the Pats as long as they have Brady Garoppolo!

We had a good idea how the game might generally go, though: over fifty were within 7 points of the final result.
Unsurprisingly nobody got it completely right, but five were only a point off.

Congratulations to this week's Predict the Score winners Crononaut, italian pat patriot, luvbrain, Nikolai and Patsfanin Philly!

10/07 These are the complete results, in my original post I missed several predictions.

Predict the Score CONTEST, Week 1 NE @ ARI

 

[goheels22002]

Hi Alamo,

You missed my week one prediction - Cardinals 27 - Patriots 17 for a score of 12, I believe. If you could add it in, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for doing this. Definitely one of my favorite things of the season.

 

[Ross12]

Looks like you missed my prediction of 20-17, I was the fourth or fifth post in the original thread. Unless I just can't read

 

[Mike the Brit]

Congratulations to those who came close. An asterisk for those who picked against the Pats!

 

[Wordsmyth]

I believe I guessed 24-20 Pats.

 

[Wordsmyth]

I take that back: 21-17. Pretty dang close!! Yay me.

 

[Tony2046]

I second or third or 103rd the Thanks for doing this Alamo.

It is one of the highlights of the season.

 

[Wheelman]

Let's try to follow Alamo's thread rules this time in the week 2 thread.

Please keep this thread to predictions only, no back-and-forth discussion of the game. A short comment about your pick is OK.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

24-20 wrong team..never again

 

[Brewskies]

Lots of work alamo, thanks

 

[doesntmatter1]

Thanks Alamo.

 

[Nikolai]

Holy ****balls...it finally happened!!

Thank you Alamo! And thank you Jimmy G, for winning, but not by a huge huge margin.

 

[FrodoBagginz]

Missed me too not that it matters. I made Pats: 12 and Ariz: 11.

 

[New England Pride]

@alamo

I had New England 20 Arizona 17 on the first page.

I appreciate you doing this every year!

 

[RIP#40]

RIP #40's prediction was missed as well

 

[Dexter]

I had Pats winning 17-14 and was forgotten as well.

 

[captain stone]

Congrats to the winners, and thanks for another season Alamo, though I now wish that you had
"missed" my prediction too.

I did not anticipate Arizona's sluggish start on both sides of the ball; I ass-umed that they would
come out the tunnel firing on all cylinders, and that it would be the Pats who had to play catch-up.

I also under-estimated Grop's ability to make quick decisions and to escape the pressure when he had
to do so. His receivers played well overall, though Mal Mitchell should've caught that 17-yard pass in
the first quarter. And while the OL wasn't the complete Chernobyl I had predicted, it still really isn't
very good either, but fortunately rumors of PasstheBlunt's demise have been at least for now somewhat
exaggerated.

You didn't miss me Alamo; kind of wish you did. Sorry Pats - I'll never doubt you again!
