10th Annual SDMB Early Super Bowl Pick Contest

The Game Room
41

Less than 24 hours before the submission deadline – anyone else want in?

42

I can’t believe I almost forgot about this thread.

Falcons 27, Texans 21

Now to see if I share my pick with anyone… ETA: Nope, I stand alone!

43

Redskins 24, Patriots 17. I’m going to get a lot of grief over that one.

44

I don’t know how I missed this contest for the last nine years (or did I? - I have no idea if I’ve played it before).

I’m torn. I really, really, really want the Patriots to win another SuperBowl (fucking Eli “I’ll Just Throw This Winning 50 Yard Bomb As Easily As Picking My Nose” Manning), but I’m not feeling the heat. I don’t think they got it in them.

And then there’s my semi-man-crush on RG III; I’d like to see him pull it off to. And of course there’s rookie Russel Wilson in Seattle who has been completely (and unfairly) overshadowed by RG III.

Damn … I’m flummoxed.

Screw it, let’s go with Patriots 31 - Washington 28 … in overtime.

I thought that fake commercial of his (SNL?) was funny, tho.

“I’m Eli Manning. I don’t make it to every SuperBowl, but when I do, I beat the Patriots.”

(if any nitpickers want to post just to have the EXACT quote, different by maybe half a syllable, have at it)

48

Are we doing the playoff points/wins per week thing?

Packers 27
Broncos 21

All predictions aside, a Broncos v Packers Superbowl would be pretty epic.

49ers 28, Broncos 17

Broncos 24, 49ers 20

53

Twelve minutes! If any last-minute players want their predictions to count, now’s the time…

For the record – no one picked the Bengals to make an appearance, and no one picked the Colts or Ravens to win.

57

Actually, it looks like FoieGrasIsEvil picked orange-and-black to win it all.
