2009 Week ten prediction results

Predicted scores for 2009 week 10:

CHI 17
SFO 24 (-3)

The Niners won by 4, 10-6.

ATL 23 (-1.5)
CAR 13

Another one where Predictabot and I agreed, but the result was the opposite, with the Panthers beating the Falcons 28-19.

TAM 16
MIA 35 (-10)

The Dolphins didn't manage to cover, but they still beat the Bucs 25-23.

DET 17
MIN 38 (-17)

Well, well. I said I'd have to take the Lions, and the final score was 27-10, meaning that the Vikings did indeed fail to cover. Predictabot was wrong on the prediction though.

JAC 7
NYJ 28 (-6.5)

Another one where Predictabot and I were both wrong, as the Jaguars wnded up on top 24-22.

CIN 14
PIT 13 (-7)

Well, Predictabot was right. I guess there's that. Bengals win 18-12.

NOR 38 (-13.5)
STL 10

The closest game of the season...just a 5 point victory for the Saints (28-23). Are things starting to go off-track?

BUF 23
TEN 19 (-6.5)

I said I thought Tennessee would win and not cover, but then the Titans go ahead and rack up a 41-17 win to keep their winning streak alive.

DEN 17 (-3.5)
WAS 3

Ouch. Denver continues its slide, losing 27-17 to the Redskins, and more bad predictions.

KAN 17
OAK 19 (-2)

Instead of 19-17 Oakland it was 16-10 Kansas City. About as dull as expected.

SEA 14
ARI 23 (-8.5)

The final was 31-20 Cardinals, so a little comeback on the betting front.

DAL 24 (-3)
GNB 19

Another one goes south, however, as the Packers beat the Cowboys 17-7.

PHI 26
SDG 21 (-2.5)

I said that everything was looking Philly's way, and yet the Chargers won 31-23.

NWE 13
IND 13 (-3)

Well, well, well. The final ended up 35-34 Indy on a pretty crazy gamble.

BAL 26 (-11)
CLE 9

It was worse than predicted...the Ravens shutout the Browns 16-0.

The last three weeks have been pretty brutal. Picking winners, Predictabot has gone less than 50%, getting 19 out of 39 right. Against the spread it's been even worse, only getting 14 out of 41 right.

For the year it's predicting the winners correctly 62.4% of the time, which is right in line with the historical average. Against the spread it's still above average, at 52.1%, for the year, but that's down a lot from a few weeks back.
