Patriots 24, Eagles 21

Going for Northeast teams for the Northeast Superbowl.

And the cynic in me is wishing for a Nor-Easter to roll in and to embarrass the NFL for scheduling a SUPERBOWL in New Jersey on Groundhog Day.

We all knew before the season started that the Chargers will win the SB. They played the Eagles in week 2 at Eagles home field. Whoever plays the Eagles on their opening day seems to win the SB. Last year we played Ravens, 2011 Giants, 2010, Packers, 2009 Saints. 😃

But my pick is:  
Panthers 21, Steelers 10.

You know the Steelers aren’t in the playoffs?

Hey, he wants to pick the Steelers, that’s his prerogative. Might hurt his chances, thought.

But hey, if **Locrian** wants to make a bet on the Steelers chances in the Super Bowl this year, I’ll be happy spot him three, maybe four hundred points.

KC has had a heck of a turnaround this season, but in order to get anywhere near the Super Bowl, they have to not lose to Indy for a second time, then not lose to Denver for a third time, and I don’t see that happening. So I’m guessing

**Broncos 38, Seahawks 20**

(See, that way I don’t pick the Chiefs, then they win to make me look bad!)

Lot’s of love for the Bolts!

Anyway, I am staying with my home team, the Bengals, to finally get off the Superbowl schneid by finally beating their old nemesis the 49ers 28-24.

Edit: oops. sorry.

Bengals 28  
49ers 24

**Patriots 23, Seahawks 17**

Seahawks have 1st and goal from the 4 yard line, in the last minute, but can’t get over the goal line in 4 tries. Bill Belichick gets doused with Gatorade then freezes to death in zero degree weather.

**Denver Broncos 20

Unlike the past few years, I am thinking home field advantage in the playoffs really will matter this year.  
Good luck everyone!
