2009 Week One prediction results

TEN  10
PIT  16 (-6.5)

The final score was 13-10 Steelers, so correct picks on win, against the spread, and a pretty close prediction to boot.

MIA  13
ATL  19 (-4)

Final was 19-7 Atlanta, so again, correct picks for the win, against the spread, and I think a pretty close prediction.

KAN   6
BAL  37 (-13)

The final here was a lot closer than predicted... 38-24 Ravens, but enough that again all of the predictions were correct.

PHI  23 (-2.5)
CAR  19

This was a blowout, 38-10 for the Eagles, but again all correct predictions.

DEN  21
CIN  19 (-4)

And after four perfect predictions, we finally miss out against the spread here, as the final was 12-7 Denver.

NYJ  28
HOU  28 (-4.5)

To close for the system to call, but the Jets blowout turned this into a bad prediction all around.  The spread call was wrong, but since no winner was predicted, no hurt no foul.

DET  14
NOR  38 (-13)

The final here was a more outrageous 45-27 for the Saints, and I think the system would have predicted a higher score if it was allowed to.  The predictions were all correct though.

DAL  17 (-6)
TAM  23

Our second big miss, although since Dallas won 34-21 the winning prediction was wrong, the call to go for Dallas and the points would have won.  Out of eight games, this puts the system at 6-2 predicting both winners and vs the spread.

JAC  10
IND  28 (-7)

Colts won 14-12, so the winner was right, but the call against the spread was wrong.

MIN  21 (-4)
CLE   7

Minnesota won, 34-20, so both predictions are correct.

SFO  23
ARI  37 (-6.5)

A double-miss here, with Arizona falling flat, losing 20-16 to the Niners.

WAS   6
NYG  27 (-6.5)

The final here was 23-17 Redskins, so the winning prediction was right, but the spread prediction was wrong.

STL   9
SEA  24 (-8.5)

Seattle won this one 28-0, so both predictions were correct.

CHI  21
GNB  27 (-3.5)

The final difference was by 6, 21-15 Packers, but not quite as high as predicted.  Still, another pair of correct predictions.

BUF  13
NWE  27 (-11)

The Patriots pulled out a win, but only by one, 25-24, so the prediction split again.

SDG  30 (-9.5)
OAK  10

The surprising Raiders made it close, but the Chargers won 24-20.  This is a correct winning prediction, but a loser against the spread.

So, for the first week, that puts it at 13-2 (discounting the game without a winner predicted) picking the winners straight up, and 8-8 against the spread. (Edited, as I had miscounted the results.)
