It’s simple to play – just post your pick for the two Super Bowl teams, and the final score. Deadline for submissions will be 4:00 pm Eastern on Saturday, January 7th (just before kickoff of the first playoff game).
As for my prediction: Oh baby…time for my third title! As it turns out, the Giants didn’t actually blow their “every four years” pattern, they just sort of…delayed it by a year. In any case, I’m going with the pick that has given me my two previous titles in this game:
Giants 38, Patriots 35
(I actually don’t think it will be nearly that high of a score, but that exact pick has worked for me twice before, so who am I to fuck with fate?)
PLEASE NOTE: It’s not an absolute requirement, but it’s very helpful to me if you format your pick the same way I did above – “Winning team name and score, losing team name and score”, on its own line. No locations, just the name. Feel free to add any other commentary on a separate line. Thanks!
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, Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, Houston Texans, Oakland Raiders, Pittsburgh Steelers
NFC Teams:
Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Seattle Seahawks
