Predictions for Sunday

Instead of predicting the Super Bowl with my head (how can the Patriots lose?), or with my heart (the Giants can win, in a perfect world), I decided to let a computer tell me the score for tomorrow.

I took team data from each of the 16 regular season games, and took a weighted average for each of 26 different categories. The model I used came from every game played this year (512 games). It is very crude now, but needed something quick and dirty.

The results:

Patriots 31
Giants 21

We'll see how it does, as the score ranges are pretty wide. This will be a good first test.

Patriots 28 Giants 30

Patriot's lead 28 to 24 in the final minute. Instead of taking a knee, Tom Brady lobs a deep ball to Moss which is picked off and returned for a TD as time expires.
