2009 Week eight prediction results

Predicted scores for 2009 week 8:

DEN 19
BAL 14 (-3.5)

The start of an awful, awful week. Ravens upset 30-7.

HOU 16 (-3.5)
BUF 20

I thought the Texans would win, and they did, 31-10, but wrong predictions.

CLE 13
CHI 23 (-13.5)

The Bears covered, beating the Browns 30-6, but the spread prediction was wrong again.

SEA 17
DAL 20 (-9.5)

Dallas smacked the Seahawks 38-17, so they covered, and another wrong spread prediction.

STL 16
DET 31 (-4)

Another bad one. Rams won 17-10.

MIN 19
GNB 24 (-3)

And the streak continues. The Vikings won 38-26, and we're still waiting for a good bet.

SFO 10
IND 23 (-12)

The Colts won, but only 18-14, so the spread prediction was again wrong.

MIA 10
NYJ 17 (-3)

Wrong again. Dolphins win 30-25.

OAK 13
SDG 27 (-17)

Finally, the Raiders come through. The Chargers won 24-16, so they did not cover the spread, as predicted.

JAC 28
TEN 24 (-3)

The Titans finally came out on top, now that they've released Myron's curse. They won 30-13.

CAR 9
ARI 27 (-9.5)

I said these were two teams going in opposite directions, but maybe I had it backwards. The Panthers ended up on top 34-21 as Old Man Warner finally fell apart.

NYG 23
PHI 21 (-2)

Eagles smack down the Giants, 40-17.

ATL 17
NOR 28 (-10)

Quite a game, but the Saints only won 35-27, so they did not cover the spread.


So...the worst week of the year by far. One ONE prediction correct against the spread, and that was just that the Chargers couldn't cover.

The system is 65% accurate picking winners straight up, and now just 54% against the spread.
