2009 Week ten

Predicted scores for 2009 week 10:

CHI 17
SFO 24 (-3)

I realize this is being published after the game, but this is what it was.

ATL 23 (-1.5)
CAR 13

I expect the Falcons to handle the Panthers easily.

TAM 16
MIA 35 (-10)

Anything else would be a surprise, but the Bucs did it last week.

DET 17
MIN 38 (-17)

I think I might just have to take the Lions, personally. I went back and checked my data, and there's only been 18 games since 1978 with a 17 point spread. The favored team failed to cover in 10 of the previous 17 games.

JAC 7
NYJ 28 (-6.5)

Well, the Jaguars have a bad offense, and the Jets have a pretty good defense and they're at home, so I feel pretty confident about this one.

CIN 14
PIT 13 (-7)

After this week, when the Steelers actually beat the Bengals, maybe Predictabot will start favoring them a little more. Still, I personally expect this to be a pretty close game, but I think the Steelers will come out on top. I'm about 50/50 on whether they'll cover though.

NOR 38 (-13.5)
STL 10

Neeeeext.

BUF 23
TEN 19 (-6.5)

Hmm, interesting. I suspect the final result will be somewhere between the bookies and Predictabot, and that Tennessee will win, but not cover.

DEN 17 (-3.5)
WAS 3

Just what Denver needed...one of the worst offenses in the league.

KAN 17
OAK 19 (-2)

I don't mean to be rude, but I mean..who *cares* about this game? It's too close to call anyway.

SEA 14
ARI 23 (-8.5)

Very close, but Predictabot thinks the Cardinals will barely cover.

DAL 24 (-3)
GNB 19

Given Green Bay's performances lately, I would tend to agree with this, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Romo have problems in Wisconsin in November.

PHI 26
SDG 21 (-2.5)

Predictabot has the Eagles better across the board than the Chargers, and even home field advantage isn't enough to give the Chargers the nod.

NWE 13
IND 13 (-3)

Aside from the Steelers/Bengals match, I'm really interested in this game. I think the Patriots have a great shot to handle the Colts their first loss, but I wouldn't be surprised either way.

BAL 26 (-11)
CLE 9

Not hard to believe.
