Point Projections - CBS Sportsline.com Playoff Challenge and Superbowl.com Playoff Challenge

Here are our point projections for the Super Bowl based on the CBS Sportsline.com Playoff Challenge and the Superbowl.com Playoff Challenge game scoring systems (They use the same system).

Donovan McNabb - Projected: 21, +/- 13
Corey Dillon - Projected: 16, +/- 6
Tom Brady - Projected: 14, +/- 5
Brian Westbrook - Projected: 11, +/- 11

David Patten - Projected: 6, +/- 6
David Givens - Projected: 6, +/- 6
Deion Branch - Projected: 6, +/- 9
Kevin Faulk - Projected: 5, +/- 6

Daniel Graham - Projected: 4, +/- 5
Todd Pinkston - Projected: 4, +/- 4
L.J. Smith - Projected: 4, +/- 4
Dorsey Levens - Projected: 3, +/- 4

Freddie Mitchell - Projected: 3, +/- 3
Patrick Pass - Projected: 2, +/- 2
Bethel Johnson - Projected: 1, +/- 2
Christian Fauria - Projected: 1, +/- 3

Troy Brown - Projected: 1, +/- 3
Greg Lewis - Projected: 1, +/- 1
Reno Mahe - Projected: 0, +/- 1
Thomas Tapeh - Projected: 0, +/- 1
Ben Watson - Projected: 0, +/- 0

Once again, the +/- rating gives an idea of the players consistency. For example, McNabb's 21 projected points with a +/- 13 means that he is most likely to score around 21 points, but he could be as high as 34 or as low as 8. Meanwhile, Brady's 14 and +/- 5 shows him to be more consistent. A vast majority of the time he will be in the 9 to 19 range with a most likely value of 14 for this scoring system.

Also, If Terrell Owens plays, his projected points are 13 with a +/- of 10. However, this assumes the normal level of pareticipation that he had during the regular season and not a reduced level due to injury.
