2009 Week three prediction results

Predicted scores for 2009 week 3:

CLE 6
BAL 31 (-13.5)

The final was 34-3, Baltimore, so right prediction on both counts.

GNB 34 (-6.5)
STL 9

36-17 Packers, so both predictions were correct.

NYG 26 (-7)
TAM 14

The real final was 24-0 in favor of the Giants, so good predictions, but the TB offense sure took a nosedive.

TEN 23
NYJ 16 (-2.5)

As I said, this prediction surprised me, and it turned out wrong on both accounts, as the Jets won 24-17.

KAN 10
PHI 35 (-9.5)

"Donovan Who? It doesn't matter, it's the Chiefs!" The final was 34-14 Eagles, so yeah.

WAS 19 (-6.5)
DET 16

Detroit finally gets a win, 19-14, which means that this was a wrong prediction for the winner, but correct against the spread.

JAC 17
HOU 30 (-4)

These unpredictable teams ended up with Jacksonville on top 31-24, so both predictions were wrong.

ATL 16
NWE 26 (-4)

The final here was 26-10 New England, so good predictions.

SFO 17
MIN 21 (-6.5)

Well, I thought Minnesota would blow them out, but it turned out to be a tight 27-24 victory for them. The winner was right, but the spread prediction was wrong.

NOR 30 (-6)
BUF 17

I joked about the Saints only being predicted to score 30, and here they go and win 27-7, which is a nice result. Both predictions were correct.

CHI 20 (-2.5)
SEA 17

Chicago ended up on top 25-19, so both predictions were right.

PIT 19 (-4)
CIN 10

Ugh. Both wrong.

DEN 21
OAK 19 (-1)

Well, this was nowhere near as tight as the system predicted. The final was 23-3 Denver, so the winner was right, but the spread prediction was wrong.

MIA 16
SDG 28 (-6)

The final was 23-13 San Diego, so both predictions were right.

IND 24
ARI 30 (-2.5)

"Another surprise here, as I'd have gone with Indianapolis"... and so would reality. Colts win 31-10, so a pair of wrong predictions.

CAR 19
DAL 26 (-9.5)

This ended up 21-7 Cowboys, so the winner was predicted correctly, but the spread spreading was wrong.

So for this week, if I can count correctly, Predictabot had a decent 11-5 (69%) picking winners, and 9-7 (56%)against the spread.

Before this week it was 21-9 (70%) picking winners, and 18-14 (56%) against the spread for the year, and these results bring it to 32-14 (70%) and 27-21 (56%) against the spread all year. Pretty consistent results.
