11th Annual SDMB Early Super Bowl Pick Contest

Dale, I could live with that if that were to happen. I just need the Bengals to win at least ONE stinking playoff game under the current regime for it to register as progress.

Actually, the Seahawks have done quite well in the snow. A few years back, they perpetrated the “Monday Night Massacre”, in which they reamed the Eagles in a blizzard in the City of Brotherly Love. Yeah, different players, different coach, but since moving out of the dome, the cold has been their friend. They only lost SB XL because the weather was falling on the roof.

Broncos 27
Seahawks 16

About three hours left to get in your prediction.

Seahawks 24, Broncos 20

Broncos 38 Packers 31

And that’s the hammer – entries are now closed. Here’s what we have from this year’s 38 entries:

Interestingly enough, all 12 teams have been picked to win, but only nine were picked to fall short.

Picked to win:
Broncos - 12
Patriots - 6
Seahawks - 6
Chargers - 3
Bengals - 2
Chiefs - 2
Packers - 2
49ers - 1
Colts -1
Eagles - 1
Panthers - 1
Saints - 1

Picked to lose:
Seahawks - 12
Broncos - 8
Panthers - 6
49ers - 3
Bengals - 2
Eagles - 2
Packers - 2
Patriots - 2
Saints - 1

No surprise, the low-hanging fruit this year is Broncos over Seahawks.

Good luck, all!

I count 19 selections that have no interest in this weekend’s games (picking 1st or 2nd seeds against each other) and 4 players who have the potential to crap out this weekend (neither team has a bye).

NOTE: It’s halftime in the Chargers/Broncos game, but I’ll be leaving shortly for the better part of this evening. I know some of you like to know the results asap after the game, so I’m posting results for both possible outcomes. Once I get back, I’ll edit the post to remove the incorrect result.

It looks to me like every possible SB combination has been selected, so everyone in the “one down” boat can join the “see ya next year” crowd. Right?

Yeah, I’d say so. I mean, they’re still “one down” for now, and “see ya next year” pretty much just means that they whiffed on both picks, but it’s nice to see that all the combos are still represented. Thanks for putting in the legwork on this!

“See ya next year!”-the mantra of the Cincinnati sports fan…

:frowning:

Whereas, in Cleveland, they count decades.

At least the Indians went to the World Series in the mid-late 1990’s twice…
