Your Super Bowl Picks! (Late Edition)

[Doomtrain]

I'm sure this thread has already been done, but it's Super Bowl weekend and you can never have too many picks.

My pick? Carolina.

Now let me lay this out. I think the Patriots are going to win. They're just that damn good, except for their weird semi-running game, but whatever. I think the Pats are going to take it.

But I'll be rooting for the Panthers.

It's gonna break down like this:

Patriots - field goal
Patriots - field goal
Panthers - touchdown
Panthers - field goal
Patriots - touchdown
Panthers - field goal
Patriots - field goal
Panthers - touchdown (in the last two minutes)

Panthers all the way. Final score: 20-16

(And we do have this (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=231858) thread, but a "just for the weekend" one is good to have as well.)

PATRIOTS

Final Score: 20-10

Clap clap clapclapclap. Panthers bay-bee. 13-0

Don't care, as long as the quarter scores match up to my pool picks. Yeah, I'm a mercenary bastard.

Me too, almost. I really want the Panthers to win. The Patriots let me down in the '80s when I first started caring about the super Bowl. I too have some serious pools going for Sunday.

Heh...how do you think I came up with my final score? It's all about the pool sheet. *ching ching!* :D

I am a Patriots fan, but I try to never be a blind homer. As a Red Sox fan I am always honest about our real chances as I hope in vain for the best. That being said I honestly think the final score will be in the neighborhood of 31-10 in the Pats favor. They are simply a far better team than Carolina with more experience at the key positions.

Every team I choose to root for loses, so.... Yay, Panthers!

[John Carter of Mars]

My guess:

Pats 17, Panthers 13.

I'll be rooting for Carolina, but defense usually wins the big games, and the Pats have DEFENSE.

24-17 for the Patriots...That simple...

(And if the score is any different, I'll cry....$750 in the office pool up for grabs)
