If Lee Evans catches the ball and the 49ers don’t fumble that punt there’s a pretty good chance I’m deep into the negatives. As it is, I scored pretty well for a guy that picked both wrong. > > 7 + 1 = 8 > 7 + 0 = 7 > 8 + 7 = **15** Rolling it all up. 42 + 44 + 15 = **101** ---

Pats 33 Giants 24 Totally forgot about this, so I’ll just wait until it’s all done to do the comprehensive scoring. Thanks for the self-scoring. ---

O.K., let’s see who won this thing already. Pretty sure it wasn’t me. New England 34 - 17 + NY Giants 24 - 21 = 17 + 3 = **20**. Add 20 to 113 and I end up with **133** points for the whole contest. Not sure how we’re scoring Part 1. ---
