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.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of Stampede Blue's writers or editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of Stampede Blue's writers or editors.

Here's a better question: Why are you surprised?

My prediction
Pats lose when their kicker miss a last second FG to take the lead. Then most of the Pats fan will understand that football is a collective sport.

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.
