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](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=231858): **Trillionaire** [Year 2](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=294932): **Uncommon Sense** [Year 3](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=352167): **Airman Doors, USAF** [Year 4](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=402369): **Grits and Hard Toast** [Year 5](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=449706): **Hal Briston** (woohoo!) [Year 6](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=499473): **dalej42** [Year 7](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=546474): **Justin\_Bailey** [Year 8](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=591491): **Hamlet** [Year 9](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=637014): **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??) ---
