The playoff teams are set, so it’s time for our annual contest – can you predict the Super Bowl a month before the game and join our list of champions?:
Year 1: Trillionaire
Year 2: Uncommon Sense
Year 3: Airman Doors, USAF
Year 4: Grits and Hard Toast
Year 5: Hal Briston (woohoo!)
Year 6: dalej42
Year 7: Justin_Bailey
Year 8: Hamlet
Year 9: Hal Briston (woohoo again!)
It’s simple to play – just post your pick for the two Super Bowl teams, and the final score. Deadline for submissions will be 4:00pm Eastern on Saturday, January 5th (just before kickoff of the first playoff game).
For this year I’ll be going with a serious longshot:
Vikings 38, Broncos 35
(And it’s not an absolute requirement, but it’s helpful to me if you format your pick the same way I did above – “Winning team and score, losing team and score”)
As always, just in case you don’t follow football but still wanna play along, just pick an AFC team, an NFC team, and a couple of numbers that sound vaguely football-scorish.
AFC Teams:
New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans, Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts, Cincinnati Bengals
NFC Teams:
Green Bay Packers, Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, Washington Redskins, Seattle Seahawks, Minnesota Vikings
(And holy crap…ten years of this??)
